Instructions:

Cut a piece of Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper 8” x 9”, score at 4” along the shorter side and fold to create a base card 4” x 9”.  Cut a piece of dark teal weave pattern paper 3 ¾” x 8 ¾” and adhere to the front of the card.  Die cut the eyelet slimline die using the No. 2 eyelet slimline die from the HCD3-7431 Slim Eyelet Rectangle Die out of gold cardstock and adhere to the front of the card.  Die cut a plain slimline panel using the No. 2 die from the HCD3-7432 Slim Basic Rectangle Die set out of pale teal pattern paper and adhere to the front of the gold eyelet slimline die.  Die cut two decorative dies using the HCD3-7433 Slim Lattice Oval Die – one from gold cardstock and one from Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper. Add Frosting Powder to the white decorative die with Dries Clear Glue on a sponge and then adhere over the gold decorative die slightly offsetting the dies.  Adhere to the front of the card.  

Stamp the basket and handle image from the HCPC-31008 Wicker Basket Cling Stamp Set and single flowers  from the HCPC-31009 Basket Florals Cling Stamp Set and the HCPC-31010 Basket Blooms Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol marker friendly paper.  Colour the images using alcohol markers and die cut with the coordinating dies.  Using a craft knife cut a slit along the inside of the basket along the front of the basket.  Adhere the basket to the front of the card using foam tape on the front of the basket.  Trim the flowers to fit ‘in’ the basket and adhere using foam squares for dimension.  Add the handle to the basket. 

Stamp the ribbon bow from the HCPC-31008 Wicker Basket Cling Stamp Set in Tuxedo Black ink on alcohol friendly paper.  Colour with alcohol markers and die cut with the coordinating die.  Adhere the bow to the basket as shown.

Die cut the sentiment out of gold cardstock using the sentiment die from the HCD1-7203 Ornamental Tags Die set.  Die cut the background using the same die with the sentiment removed out of pearlescent vellum.  Adhere the gold sentiment to the vellum background and adhere to the top of the card as shown.

To finish add blue iridescent jewels to the lattice background die.

Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Home Quilt Congrats Mini Slimline Card

Happy New Year!

The new Amazing Paper Grace The Home Sweet Quilt Collection is just stunning with so many different combinations to make gorgeous cards. Quilting is one of the few crafts I never really got into as I struggled with sewing large volumes of fabric. But with the Amazing Paper Grace The Home Sweet Quilt Collection it is so easy to create paper quilts with a lot less stress and mess!! Today I am using the French Braid dies from the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Panels Etched Dies to create a mini-slimline card.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

My Project

For my card today I have used the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Panels Etched Diesto create a mini-slimline card. I have created a background of white, blue and silver layers to make the base for the paper ‘quilt’. I die cut three ‘quilts’ using the decorative die and the outline die – two from blue cardstock and one from silver cardstock. I then die cut the white background using the outer die from the set to which I added the silver outline die. I inlaid blue pieces to the outside of the quilt and silver squares down the centre of the ‘quilt’. I then added the blue outline die to the ‘quilt’ but upside down to create a plaid pattern.

To decorate the ‘quilt’ I have made some daisies using the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V flower dies. The filler flowers have been made using the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies and the leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Lilies Etched Dies.

To complete the card I have used the ‘Congrats’ die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2020 Elegant Infinity and the butterfly is from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies.

I have added some glitter to the flowers using clear gloss gel medium and a paintbrush for some extra sparkle.

The sentiment has been die cut twice – one from silver cardstock and one from blue cardstock. These have been stacked together with the silver on top.
