Amazing Paper Grace Autumn Flowers

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

I often take my inspiration from nature and yesterday I went out walking with my cat and saw some beautiful white hellebores growing in a vacant lot. It is now autumn here in New Zealand and the colours are changing and these flowers really popped. I took lots of photos as you do and thought that I would have a go and making some with the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Cinch and Go Flowers Etched Dies from Make a Scene Collection by Becca Feeken. I was pleasantly surprised at how these have turned out.

Today’s project was created with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

For my leaves I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cottage Flowers Etched Dies 3D Vignette Mini Album Collection by Becca Feeken and I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken on the bottoms of the flowers to allow them to sit easily when I glued them on to the base card.

I love layering dies from different Amazing Paper Grace collections to create my base cards. For this card I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Slimline Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken, Amazing Paper Grace A2 Radiant Navette Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken and the Amazing Paper Grace Scalloped Symphony Notecard Etched Dies from Sweet Serenade Notecards Collection by Becca Feeken to create the base for the flowers. I have used a pretty floral embossing folder from Spellbinders to add some interest – Slimline Flora Embossing Folder from the Slimline Collection.

To complete my card I have used the sentiment die from the Amazing Paper Grace Picture Perfect Window Scene Etched Dies from Make a Scene Collection by Becca Feeken which fitted in well with the decorative circle die with the hearts in them. I finished with a little butterfly in the same colours as the card from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken.

Amazing Paper Grace | Classically Becca Collection – Amazing Paper Grace A2 Filigree Marquee Birthday Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I am so in love with the Amazing Paper Grace Classically Becca by Becca Feeken dies that has just been released. Handcrafted flowers pair perfectly with butterflies for a beautiful and elegant birthday card.

Today’s projects were created with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

My Project for Today

I have a birthday card to share with you that has been inspired by Annie Wills – a Spellbinders influencer. She did a beautiful card using the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Ovals Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken as a base for some beautiful handcrafted flowers including a clematis from another Spellbinders designer. I had made some clematis using the Grand Cinch and Go Flowers but this time I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken to create some clematis flowers and used the gorgeous stamens with this die set to create the centres.

The card base I have used today is the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Filigree Marquis Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken which has been stretched to create a 5″ x 7″ card. And I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Ovals Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken as a frame for the pretty filigree dies and all the flowers and butterflies.

The butterflies are from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken and the sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace Lyrical Layered Florals Clear Stamp & Die Set from Sweet Serenade Notecards Collection by Becca Feeken. The small blue flowers are from the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Filigree Marquis Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken.

I am so in love with the Amazing Paper Grace Classically Becca by Becca Feeken dies that has just been released. Handcrafted flowers pair perfectly with butterflies for a beautiful and elegant birthday card.

Today’s projects were created with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

My Project for Today

My A2 card is inspired by someone who I follow on Instagram. The designer used the gorgeous Amazing Paper Grace Mosaic Bracket Card Builder Etched Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection by Becca Feeken as two panels to create a stunning background for the hero of the card. I have changed the idea to have one panel on the top of the card and an easy embossed panel on the bottom of the card. I have used the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Slimline Borders Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken as a band to hid the join. I have used the inner medallion from the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Radiant Navette Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken to create a base for the flowers, butterflies and birthday sentiment.

The handcrafted flowers are created using the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken, Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken, and the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Card Builder Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken sets. The butterflies are from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken and the sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace Celebration Scene Etched Dies from Make a Scene Collection by Becca Feeken.

Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month Blog Hop – Bella Ovalette

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations8 Comments

Today I am sharing a shaped wedding card with coordinating gift card for the wedding gift. The decorative dies reminded me of decorative piping on a wedding cake and I have used the white decorative dies on a white background highlighted by some holographic card to create some fun and sparkle.

My creations were created today with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

There are 12 dies included in the Bella Ovalette.

I have added the bride and groom, gazebo and sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Wedded Bliss Scene Etched Dies from Make a Scene Collection by Becca Feeken using holographic paper for some fun and sparkle.

I have stacked the sentiment and gazebo for more depth and dimension to help them stand out.

The flowers are soft and pastel to allow the decorative dies to shine!

I have kept the gift card simple and added some flowers and a gorgeous sentiment.

To complete my ensemble I have added pearls to the decorative dies.
