My Project for Today
For my card today I have created a base card using the Amazing Paper Grace Half Slimline Diamond Dies by Becca Feeken in a pink and ivory combination over an embossed background. The tulips were really easy to create from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Tulip Dies by Becca Feeken and look fabulous in the centre of the diamond. I have a Spellbinders ‘birthday’ sentiment along with the Joy from the Half Slimline die set. I have stacked two layers of black sentiments with a top layer of gold which helps the birthday sentiment to really pop on the card.
To hide the joins on the background die I have used wide ivory ribbon.
To finish the card I have added small water droplets.
I cannot get enough of the new Amazing Paper Grace Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimline Dies by Becca Feeken. The flowers are so beautiful and really easy to make and the background slimline dies are so versatile and make stunning backgrounds to the blossoms.

I am really loving the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Fleur Bouquet Dies by Becca Feeken. The flowers are so quick and easy to make and they look stunning!! Daisies are such humble flowers and grow so easily and are fabulous in a vase on their own or as filler flowers. This card was so quick and easy to put together but really packs a punch with the flowers really popping on the clean white elegant background. A simple ‘thanks’ is all that is needed to finish the card and keep the spotlight on the flowers.
Due to unforseen circumstances I was not able to participate in the Amazing Paper Grace May Die of the Month Pop Up 3D Vignette What’s Bakin’ Oven so here are my samples now. This is such a fabulous die set and is really easy to create a 3D card and also an A2 card as shown here. I have used a combination of blues, silver and white colours for a very elegant effect.
My creations were created today with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.
There are 14 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette What’s Bakin’ Oven.
