I am excited to announce that I will be teaching some classes at SENZ North that is being held at the Due Drop Events Centre in Auckland. I will be taking mini classes at the Krafters Cart stand and teaching 4 different themes. These classes are suitable for beginners to intermediate and you will learn new skills and techniques to create fabulous cards for your family and friends.
And here is my second card to share with you and this time I have a sweet shaped card for you. I have used the Floral Friend Sentiment Dies from Heartfelt Creations to make the shaped card and decorated it with the painted image. This was a quick and easy card to make and can be made in many different colour combinations.
Today’s project was created with products provided by Heartfelt Creations.

I love playing with Amazing Paper Grace flower dies as there are so many options to choose from. The Layered Fleur Bouquet collection is such a fun collection as the flowers are so easy to make and you can choose so many different colour options. Today I have made a card using the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Daisies and coloured them in shades of pink and yellow to complement the ink blended background. The reverse gold hot foiled sentiment works well with the pink flowers and green leaves and to finish the card I have added some sweet butterflies.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
For my project today I have created a top folding 5″ x 7″ card. I have added a mat of gold cardstock and then ink blended a slightly smaller card with Distress Oxide inks – Spun Sugar, Saltwater Taffy, Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry. I splattered some gold paint on it and than adhered it to the gold card front.
I die cut the all the layers of the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace dies out of white cardstock and made sure that I also embossed the dies for an extra decorative finish. I layered all the dies over the pink base.
I die cut all the flowers and leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Daisies dies out of white cardstock and coloured the daisies in shades of pink with a touch of yellow, and the leaves in shades of green – inks listed below. I assembled the daisies and added some Go Man Go Prills to the centre of the open flowers for more dimension to the flowers. Once everything was dry I added the flowers and leaves to the front of the card leaving room for the sentiment.
I reverse hot foiled the sentiment using matte gold foil using the birthday sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Occasions Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and die cut it out with the coordinating die before adding it to the centre of the card with foam tape.
To finish the card I made two butterflies out of vellum using the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif dies. These butterflies were coloured with Distress Oxide inks – Squeezed Lemonade, Saltwater Taffy and Kitsch Flamingo and I have dabbed some gold glitter Lunar Paste for some glittery shine. The butterflies were added to the top right and the bottom left of the card.
Today I am sharing a card that has a pocket inside that is just right for a gift voucher to give to someone special to say thank you. This card design could also be used for birthday and Christmas as well and is very easy to make. I was inspired for this card by a card that Pink Fresh Studio Influencer Yasmin Diaz created on Instagram. I have switched it up and turned it around and made the pocket for the gift voucher rather than for another smaller card like Yasmin has done.
My project
I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card that is side folding. I have created three layers of lacey edges for the front using the lacey edge die from the Lacey Edges 1 die on the front of the card. I then added a panel in the front of the card and embossed it with the Stained Glass Die for more texture. For the inside of the card. I have cut a piece of white cardstock 5 3/8″ x 4 5/8″, scored at 2 1/2″ aong the long side and folded it to create a pocket. I have glued down the edges and then adhered the pocket to the inside of the card. I then added an embossed panel 2 3/8″ x 5 1/4″ to the front of the pocket.
I stamped the image from the Garden Rose Stamp in Versamark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I coloured the images with pink and green inks using the coordinating stencils and then die cut with the matching die. I also cut another plain die to adhere the coloured image on top. I trimmed the roses to fit the front and inside back of the card as shown.
I hot foiled the sentiments from the Perfect Sentiment Hot Foil plate and die cut them out with the coordinating die. I also die cut another plain die to add the foiled sentiment on top. I then adhered the ‘Just a note’ sentiment to the top left of the card and the ‘thank you’ sentiment to the bottom right of the inside back.
To finish I have added some gold pearls around the sentiments.
