Amazing Paper Grace | Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimlines Collection Intro Blog Hop

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations1 Comment

I love the calm serenity of white lilies – they are so beautiful as a wedding bouquet or equally stunning to express your sympathy. Today I have a card that is perfect for a beloved friend for all occasions and I have also created a coordinating basket to fill with special treats. (Here I have filled the basket with small chocolate Easter Eggs). These flowers are so easy to create and look so stunning as a single flower or as a bunch of flowers.

Projects for today’s post were used with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

My Projects for Today

For my card I have used the S4-1198 Amazing Paper Grace Half Slimline Oval Etched Dies from the Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimlines Collection by Becca Feeken to create a white on white decorative background.

I have decorated the card with the S4-1192 Amazing Paper Grace Layered Lilies Etched Dies from the Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimlines Collection by Becca Feeken.

I have used stacked three layers of the sentiment together to create more depth and allow the sentiment to ‘pop’.

The green leaves really stand out from the white background and help to accentuate the white flowers.

This card is quite flat and will be easy to post – always a bonus.

The butterfly from the S6-183 Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken adds a gorgeous finishing touch.

I have added pearls to accentuate the gorgeous background die.

The S4-1198 Amazing Paper Grace Half Slimline Oval Etched Dies from the Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimlines Collection by Becca Feeken also contains some pretty little flowers and leaves and here I have attempted to have pretty blue flowers cascading out of the oval and decorating the sentiment.

For my basket I have created a basic 4″ x 4 x 1 3/4″ box and embellished the box with the dies from the S4-1198 Amazing Paper Grace Half Slimline Oval Etched Dies from the Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimlines Collection by Becca Feeken. I have covered the joins with lilies and the tiny flowers from the same die set. The decorative handle has been created using the S4-1165 Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Slimline Borders Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken. I have finished the box with some gorgeous butterflies from the S6-183 Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken.

Amazing Paper Grace Flowers With Love

Today I have another card featuring the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace A2 Filigree Marquis Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken. I have been inspired by my Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team mate Rajni Chawla and how she snips decorative dies to create beautiful cards with lots of different layers. For my card I have used the inner decorative medallion die and created layers by snipping one die in half and and layering them behind the main medallion to fit a 5″ x 7″ card.

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

The flowers are created using the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken.

The sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Card Builder Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken. This sentiment is so versatile and can be used for so many different occasions – birthday, wedding, sympathy and more.

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. They are such a sweet addition to any card.

The green leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Flowers Etched Dies by Becca Feeken. These leaves are so beautiful to use and the green really makes the pink flowers pop. The silver leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go III Etched Dies by Becca Feeken and make a great accent for this card.

To complete my card I have used a gorgeous embossing folder by Spellbinders – Diamond Plaid embossing folder.

Amazing Paper Grace April 2022 Die of the Month Blog Hop

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations4 Comments

I love flower gardens and I love making my own flowers so I was thrilled to see the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Watering Can Bouquet. These flowers are just delightful and so easy to create for a one of a kind bouquet of flowers. There is no need for special papers or tools – just paper, inks and imagination! The watering can is such a fun way to present flowers and I so love all the details on the watering can.

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

There are 15 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Watering Can Bouquet.

For my first project I have created a special thank you card that would be perfect to give to someone who loves flowers and/or gardening. This card is a 3D vignette decorated with flowers and butterflies and folds flat to fit into a 6″ x 7″ envelope. You can make it fit into a 6″ x 6″ envelope by shortening the flowers.

For my second project I have used the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace Eyelet Lace Frame Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken to create a gorgeous base to add my watering can with flowers on. The ‘With Love” sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Card Builder Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken is such a versatile sentiment that can be used for so many different occasions. This die set is just in time for Mother’s Day next month in New Zealand.

Butterflies from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken finish this card perfectly!

Once all the flowers are created (and they are super easy) these cards were very quick to create. Perfect for those last minute cards.

Golden Anniversary

Have you have die cut or hot foiled a project and missed a part! Well I did that with the beautiful Magnolia Glimmer Blooms Hot Foil Plate. I had cut off part of a leaf but rather than throw it away I decided to create a card with it. I have combined the magnolia image with the Geo Foliage Hot Plate and Foil Plate and Die set for a golden wedding anniversary card.

All products used in this card are from Spellbinders and purchased privately.

The diagonal foil is from the Diagonal Glimmer Stripes Hot Foil Plate. I love how it creates a gorgeous background.

The frame is from the Geo Foliage Hot Foil Plate and Die set.

The sentiment is from the Sentiments Everyday Hot Foil and Plate Set.

Please follow me on Instagram where I will be showing a short reel on how this card has come together.
