Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Cascade

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Today I have my final Christmas in July themed card. This time I have created a beautiful interactive card using the Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Cascade Collection by Becca Feeken from September 2020. I love making interactive cards and Becca has made it so easy with this collection. All the elements to make this card come with the Christmas Cascade Collection and I just added a frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Deco Bloom Dies for the kinetic element to sit in. I have also kept to my white, gold, pink and green theme for a very elegant card that I am sure will delight the recipient.

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

My Project

For my project today I have created a 5″ x 7″ card base out of white cardstock. I die cut two outer frames using the three outer dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Deco Bloom Dies out of white cardstock and adhered them together. I then die cut a frame out of gold cardstock using the plain outer frame dies and adhered the decorative frame to the plain gold frame before adding the frame to the card front with foam tape. I used one of the leftover inner rectangles and embossed it using the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder and added this to the centre of the frame. I then used the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Cascade Dies (you can find a video tutorial here on how to create the base: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XAL_CovQrE) out of white cardstock. I have then decorated the flaps with embellishments from the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Frame Gala Dies and Holiday Word Blocks Dies from the same collection, and the flowers and leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – November 2020- 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh. To keep with my pink, gold, white and green theme I have blended some pink ink on the birds and on some spare white cardstock and then die cut the word blocks out again and inlaid the pink to gold words to highlight the words.

To finish I have added gold pearls to the centres of the flowers and the bird dies.

Christmas Poinsettias on a Triple Diamond Point Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations1 Comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have another Christmas card to share with you today that I have made for a challenge in a Facebook Group I belong to. The challenge was to use Susan’s Garden poinsettia flowers in a project. I have had the original Susan’s Garden Poinsettia dies from when Susan was with Sizzix and have never used them as I did not have all the right products to make them. Now this challenge has got me to make the poinsettia and yes I do have all the right tools and equipment now.

My project

I have made the base card using the instructions for the Triple Diamond Point Cards from YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3ESQqfhJSs&t=19s and decorated it with the new Heartfelt Creations Holiday Ornament paper collection and gold cardstock. One diamond point has a small decorative border from the Pink Fresh Studio Stitched Scallop Squares die.

I die cut the basket from the Susan’s Garden Gathering Basket dies out of Portabello cardstock and inked the basket with some brown inks to really show the texture of the basket. This was added to the bottom right of the card.

I have made the poinsettia, Bee Blossom flowers and leaves out of Susan’s Garden specialty papers which have been coloured with Copic markers. This paper is new to me and it was interesting to use but I am happy with the results. I have added Lemon Chiffon and Heart of Gold Prills to the stamens in the centre of the poinsettia and yellow pollen to the ends of the stamens in the Bee Blossom These were adhered to the basket and card as shown. I painted the poinsettia with clear gloss gel medium and finished with some clear Wink of Stella for a subtle shine. The holly and ivy sprays were die cut out of green cardstock. I painted the holly leaves with clear gloss gel medium and then added Red Berry Nuvo Drops to the berries and when dry I have added them around the flowers and leaves.

I have dyed some small styrofoam balls with green alcohol ink and adhered them over the the lighter green leaves and added some spots to them with a fine tip black marker.

To finish I have heat embossed in gold the sentiments from the Heartfelt Creations Christmas Holly Accents Cling stamp and die cut with the coordinating die. I then die cut another two plain dies and stacked the dies together with the embossed sentiment on top and adhered it to the centre diamond. I added some holly leaves and berries to the corner of this point.

I then added gold pearls to the front of the card.

For the inside of the card I have heat embossed the sentiment from the Starry Holiday Greetings in gold on white cardstock and die cut it with the coordinating die. This was adhered to the inside of the card.

Celebrating with Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Magnolia – Honey Cuts

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations1 Comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have a very pretty card to share with you today featuring the gorgeous Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Magnolia – Honey Cuts. This is a beautiful flower with lots of details and was so easy to colour and put together. The pink flower really pops as I have used a complementary colour – green to coordinate with the pink. I am definitely going to invest in more Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers flowers as they are just stunning.

My project today

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base out of white cardstock. I then layered black and white cardstock using my Crafty Corners. I cut a piece of white cardstock 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ and stenciled the brick background using Mint ink and the Gina K Designs – Stencils – Brick Wall. This was then added to the card front to create the base for the leaves and flowers.

I die cut the large leaves from the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers: Spring Greenery – Honey Cuts out of Neenah Classic Crest 80Ib White Cardstock. I coloured them with Fresh Pear, Grassy Knoll and Key Lime inks and shaped them lightly with my fingers. I then trimmed the ends and added them to the card front creating a corner on the lower left of the card.

I have die cut all the leaves and flowers from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Magnolia – Honey Cuts out of Neenah Classic Crest 80Ib White Cardstock. I coloured the petals with Ballet Slippers and Sparkling Rose inks before assembling the flower using foam tape to pop the petals. I then die cut the leaves from the same card and coloured them with Mint, Meadow and Emerald City inks. These were shaped lightly using my fingers. I added the leaves to the bottom left over the larger leaves using some foam tape for dimension. I then added the magnolia to the top of the leaves with some foam tape.

I stamped the sentiments from the Pink Fresh Studio – Basic Banners Stamp Set in Altenew Obsidian Black ink on white cardstock and die cut with the coordinating die. I then die cut two more banners using plain cardstock and stacked three banners together with the stamped image on top. This was added to the top of the card as shown.

To finish I have added some clear iridescent gems to the card for a bit of sparkle.

Celebrate with Honey Bee Stamps Magnolia Honey Cuts

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations4 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

Welcome back and today I have a sweet celebration card to share with you that would be perfect for any occasion for celebration be it a wedding, birthday or a special milestone. For my card I have used the gorgeous Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers – Dogwood Honey Cuts dies to create a pretty floral accent to the embossed background and beautiful layering dies from Marianne Designs. I have been enjoying mixing and matching different products from different companies to create my cards.

My Project

For my card today I have created a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ card and added an embossed layer using the Honey Bee Stamps Dogwood Blooms 3D embossing folder. I am so impressed with the embossing on this folder! I have then layered the gorgeous dies from the Marianne Designs LR0376 to create a frame for the beautiful layered dogwood blooms. I have die cut two bases for the flowers out of white cardstock and after stacking them together I have used Copic markers to colour the stems. I then die cut the flowers and leaves and coloured them with green and pink inks.

To finish the card I have added a hot foiled sentiment using the Pink Fresh Studio Perfect Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and coordinating die. And then I added some iridescent gems from Taylored Expressions.

Such a quick and easy card that took longer to decide what products to use than actually make the card.

Amazing Paper Grace Joy to the World

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations4 Comments

I have another Christmas card to share with you today for my Christmas in July collection. I am really in love with this colour combination and I couldn’t stop playing with the Amazing Paper Grace Christmas collections. This card features the gorgeous classic Amazing Paper Grace Joy Flourish Doily from the Christmas Flourishes Collection by Becca Feeken. This set has everything needed to make a stunning card and all I have done is added some handmade poinsettias and leaves.

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

My Project

For my card I have made a base card of 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ out of white cardstock. I have layered gold and white cardstock to the front of the card and embossed the top white layer using the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder. I die cut the base of the Amazing Paper Grace Joy Flourish Doily out of gold cardstock and then die cut the edge using the base and the decorative die and adhered it to the edge of the base. I die cut three decorative dies out of white cardstock using the decorative die and the inner plain die to make a frame and stacked them together. I adhered them to the front of the base and added a single layer of the inner to the centre of the frame as shown. I die cut two ‘joy’ sentiments – one from gold cardstock and one from white cardstock and stacked them together with the gold sentiment on top. This was then added to the centre of the doily. I die cut the ‘TO THE WORLD’ sentiment out of a strip of 1/4″ strip of white cardstock and then matted it with gold cardstock and adhered it over the ‘joy’ sentiment.

I die cut several leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – November 2020- 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh out of green cardstock and added them to the bottom left and top right of the decorative doily. I handcrafted pink and green poinsettias from the same set and added them over the leaves. To finish I added some holly leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Joy Flourish Doily in a different green cardstock around the flowers and other leaves.

To finish I added some gold pearls to the centres of the flowers, around the flowers and on the doily.

Pink Fresh Studio Thank You Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia Ora Koutou

Today I am sharing a quick and easy Thank You card featuring the Pink Fresh Studio Anemone Magic washi tape flowers and dies. These flowers were left over from card kits I made for my friend Meetu at Krafters Cart where I will be teaching some classes at SENZ in Auckland next weekend. I love the Pink Fresh studio Stained Glass die and here I have die cut two dies and adhered one upside down to create a new look for my background. The round Stitched Scallop dies created a frame for the pretty flowers and I have finished the card with a hot foiled sentiment and vellum butterflies.

My Project

For my card I have made a tent fold 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base out of white cardstock. I have die cut two dies using the Pink Fresh Studio Stained Glass die and adhered them together by putting one the opposite way to the other to make a wonderful textured background. I then die cut the circle die using the Pink Fresh Studio Essentials Stitched Scallop Circles die and adhered it to the front of the card. I added some flowers around the circle and added a hot foiled sentiment to the centre of the circle from the Pink Fresh Studio Perfect Sentiments set. To finish the card I added a couple of vellum hot foiled butterflies from the Pink Fresh Studio Small Butterflies Hot Foil Plate and Die sets.

This card was so quick and easy to put together.
