Wishing everyone a safe and happy Christmas Day filled with fun and laughter and the love of family and friends.

New Zealand is the first country in the world to celebrate Christmas Day and I am waking up to Christmas Day here while I know some people are still in Christmas Eve around the world. This is my final Christmas card for this year and it seems fitting that I have used this die set from Amazing Paper Grace – All Hearts Come Home. The sentiments are just lovely and I have only used the one die set and an embossing folder for this very elegant and pretty Christmas card. I have sort of CASEd a card from one I saw on Instagram but I have added some sparkling embossing to make it my own.

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

My Project

For my card I have made a side folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of Glacier cardstock 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and adhered it to the front of the card. I then cut a piece of vellum the same size and embossed it with the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder and added some glitter with WOW Embossing Ink for a little sparkle.

I die cut two frames from the Amazing Paper Grace All Hearts Come Home Dies out of Snowdrift cardstock and adhered them together before gluing them to the front of the sparkly embossed vellum. I die cut the house out of Snowdrift cardstock and adhered some gold mirror cardstock on the back which was trimmed to the house. This was added to the middle of the frame. Finally I die cut the banner sentiment out of gold and Snowdrift cardstock and adhered them together and added to the top of the vellum. I added glue to the back of the vellum behind the die cut shapes only and adhered this to the front of the blue card on the card base.

I die cut two sets of the ‘for christmas’ sentiments – one from gold and one from white cardstock. I adhered the gold card sentiment dies to the white sentiment dies and adhered the sentiments to the base of the frame as shown.

To finish the card I have added gold .pearls to the frame as shown

This is my penultimate Christmas card for the year and I have my final New Zealand themed Christmas card. I have used a similar design that I have used in the past but this time I changed the orientation and I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Victoriana Crest Dies for the background and used pink papers and a pink poinsettia for a more non-traditional feel to go with the summer Christmas themes. Once again I have used the fantail image from Montarga Rubber Stamps shop as my focal point on a background of stenciled clouds. The Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers Poinsettia and Winter Greenery Honey Cuts are just gorgeous and make it so easy to create beautiful bouquets of flowers and foliage on my cards.

We are on the last week before Christmas and I have another downunder Santa Christmas card to share with you. We are meant to be in summer here but we have had a lot of rain and storms over the last week so it will be quite a relief if we get a warm summer’s day for Christmas Day. My card today features another image from Montarga Rubber Stamp Shop in Christchurch and I have teamed it with the Amazing Paper Grace Richelieu Square Dies which made a wonderful frame for the festive green, red and gold papers. I have also added some embellishments from the Amazing Paper Grace Noel Mini Slimline Dies on the corners of the square frame. Once I had the image coloured it did not take long for me to make the card once I had sorted the papers and dies.

Amazing Paper Grace Peonies, Pussy Cats and Lace

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations4 Comments

Sometimes it is best with pretty papers just to let the background dies and beautiful papers tell the story when making a card. I have just purchased some beautiful papers from Mintay Papers and decided to create a shabby chic look with lacy background dies to highlight the stunning images from this collection. Rather than using actual lace the Amazing Paper Grace Tallulah Frill Layering Frame Dies did all the work for me to create the lacy shabby chic look which allowed the pretty images to show through. All I needed to finish this card was a sweet little sentiment and pearls and my card was done.

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

My Project

For my card I created a side opening 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2: base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of green cardstock the same size and added it to the front of the card. I then layered a busy floral background paper to the front.

I die cut two outer decorative frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Tallulah Frill Layering Frame Die out of white pearl cardstock and adhered them together for more depth and dimension. Before adding this to the card front I cut another piece of green cardstock 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ to fit just under the centre of the frame to add some contrast to the pattern paper and I then added it to the card front. I cut another piece of green cardstock the same size as the smaller layering die and added a small floral and cat image to the front of this. I die cut two inner decorative frames out of pearl cardstock and adhered them together before adding them to the pre-prepared floral panel and then added it to the centre of the larger frame.

I then added the ephemera to the card using some foam squares for extra dimension.

I stamped the ‘hello’ sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Seasonal Motif Sentiments Clear Stamp Set in English Ivy ink on white pearl cardstock. I die cut this out using the small tag die from the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace Die set and adhered it to the base of the flowers at the bottom right of the card. I added a small white satin bow to the tag.

To finish I added pearls to the inner and outer decorative frames.

A Paddington Bear Christmas Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

Christmas is just around the corner and I have a special card I made for a colleague of my husband. the brief was to have Paddington Bear and lots of snow. I purchased a cute Paddington Bear image from Bubblegum Designs from Etsy and printing it on watercolour paper and then made my card around this image. I used the Heartfelt Creations Ornate Window stamp and die set to create a window that can be opened out to look at Paddington Bear in the snow with his presents and Christmas tree beside a cute street lamp. I even added a little robin to the top left of the window frame to further add to the English Christmas theme. I was very happy with how this card turned out.

Flower Garden Just For You

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I follow WPlus9 Designs on YouTube and I just love how Dawn colours her flowers from Honey Bee Stamps and this card has been inspired by a couple of her cards made using the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Peony and Wildflowers. I don’t have a lot of Honey Bee Stamps cover dies and the flowers I used were rather too big for a small card so I dug out an old Spellbinders die that I really love called Majestic Labels Twenty-Five to create a very elegant background to my pretty flowers. I really like the stamp sentiment as it can be used on its own or could have a specific sentiment added to them such as a ‘happy birthday’ to personalise it.

My Project.

For my card I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of light blue cardstock 5″ x 7″ and adhered it to the front of the card. I cut a piece of Snowdrift cardstock 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and adhered it to the front of the card.

I cut another piece of Snowdrift cardstock 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and die cut the frame and inner using the outer frame and next size frame dies. I adhered the outer frame to the white cardstock using foam strips and then added the inner die inside the frame. I die cut the label out of Snowdrift cardstock and added it over the centre of the frame. I stamped the sentiment from Beccy’s Place Magnolia stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink to the bottom right of the label as shown.

I die cut the light green leaves using the leaf die from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery Honey Cuts and adhered it to create a base for the flowers to the top left of the frame.

I then die cut the leaves and stems from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Wildflowers Honey Cuts and added some green ink to create more dimension to the stem and leaves. I used Altenew Shadow Creek ink on the green (Rainforest cardstock) stems from the blue bell flowers and Pink Fresh Studio ink Grassy Knoll and Key Lime inks on the green (Sprout cardstock) leaves for the light blue flowers. I then die cut the flowers using white cardstock and coloured the blue bell flowers with Altenew Crystal Violet and Alpine Aster before adding them to the stem. I adhered this flower stem over the base leaves to the left of the frame.

I die cut the leaves leaves and stems only for the light blue and yellow flowers. I added some Pink Fresh Studio Key Lime ink to the leaves and then added one stem to the base flowers. The light blue flowers were coloured using Pink Fresh Studio Lemon Whip, Crystal Violet, Maple Yellow and Doe inks and then assembled them before added a flower to the stem already on the card with foam squares for dimension. I added a single flower to the left of the foliage and then trimmed the leaves to fit around the flower.

I die cut the peony and bud from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Peony Honey Cuts and coloured the pieces using Pink Fresh Studio inks – Ballet Slippers, Bubblegum, Sparkling Rose and Wisteria. Once the colouring was complete I assembled the peony and bud using foam squares for some dimension. I die cut the leaves out of Sprout cardstock and added some shading to create shape to the leaves. These leaves were adhered to the base of the frame with some foam tape on a couple of leaves. I added the peony and bud over these leaves.

To complete the floral arrangement I trimmed another leaf from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery Honey Cuts and added them around the peony and leaves.

I added clear Wink of Stella for all the flowers for some subtle glimmer and shine.

To finish I added some light blue gems around the sentiment and flowers as shown.

Amazing Paper Grace Happy Anniversary

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

Today I have combined three of my favourite techniques – flower making, die cutting and hot foiling in this anniversary card. I have been toying with an idea about hot foiling on acetate and finally managed to do a card with this idea. I still have other others in my head with hot foiling on acetate so watch this space… I have made a beautiful panel embossing rose coloured pearl card and hot foiling acetate with the same plate using the Amazing Paper Grace Diamonetta Background Hot Foil Plate and I was very pleased with how this card turned out. Add some beautiful borders from the Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Brackets and hand made Layered Cherry Blossoms finished with a very elegant hot foiled sentiment and the card is so elegant and very pretty

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

My Project

For my card I have created a top folding 6″ x 6″ card base out of white cardstock. I layered the front with gold and Rose Glow card. I scored double lines down each side of the Rose Gold card to create some interest in the background.

I cut a piece of Rose Glow card 2 1/2″ x 5 3/4″ and embossed it with the Diamonetta Background Hot Foil Plate and added it across the front the card in the centre. I then hot foiled a piece of acetate 3″ x 5 3/4″ using the same hot plate in gold foil and adhered it over the embossed panel with double sided tape.

I die cut two background borders out of gold cardstock and two decorative borders out of Ivory cardstock using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Brackets. I adhered the decorative borders over the gold background slightly offsetting the dies to show some gold. These were then added either side of the centre panel. I die cut two scallop borders from the Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Brackets dies out of gold cardstock and adhered them to the borders as shown.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Occasions Sentiment Hot Foil Plate and Die in gold foil and die cut it with the coordinating die. I also die cut three plain dies and stacked them together and added the foil sentiment on top. This was then placed in the centre of the decorative panel.

I die cut the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Cherry dies and coloured them and assembled them. These were adhered to the right and left of the sentiment. I die cut the leaves from green cardstock and added them around the flowers.

To finish I added clear Wink of Stella to the flowers and gold pearls to the centres of the lattice and to the centres of the flowers.

A Seaside Wedding Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Kotou

I was recently asked to make a wedding card for my husband’s colleague and the brief was the couple loved the beach and ocean so I immediately thought of the Heartfelt Sea Breeze collection and after that the card came together very quickly. I have added a bridal arch and birds from Marianne Designs and the wedding couple is from Creative Expressions. I had already made the flowers using the Heartfelt Creations Wild Rose dies and the colour was perfect for the card. And I also saved a lot of time die cutting the images from the paper collection.

My Project

I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card from white cardstock for my card base. I then layered gold cardstock and patterned paper for the base for the embellishments. I made sure to measure the top layer so that the boat was visible in the centre of the bridal arch.

I die cut a fence from the paper collection and trimmed it in half placing the halves on the sides of the card. I then die cut some grass from the paper collection and added over the fence on the right side.

I die cut two bridal arches – one from gold cardstock and one from white cardstock. I adhered the gold die behind the white die and offset it lightly for a glimpse of gold. The arch was then added to the front of the card with foam strips.

I die cut two wedding couple dies – one from black cardstock and one from white cardstock. I then embossed the die on some pearlised cardstock and cut around the embossed edge. I added the white die cut over this and trimmed the black die to add the male figure to the die. This was then added to the front of the bridal arch with foam squares.

I die cut the bird on the marker image from the paper collection and then die cut a separate die from plain cardstock. I adhered the coloured image to the plain die and then added it to the bottom left of the card with foam tape.

To complete the background I die cut the birds from the paper collection and trimmed them and added them around the base of the card.

I die cut the flowers using the Small and Large Wild Rose dies from watercolour paper. I coloured them with Pink Peony, Sunflower, Peachy Keen inks, wet them and shaped them with the coordinating molds. When dry I assembled them and added some stamens through the centres and added them to the top right of the card. The leaves were coloured with Pink Peony, Vivid Chartreuse and Leaf Green inks and also shaped using the coordinating mold and were then added around the roses.

To finish I added some glitter to the sea and some die cut birds from the paper collection.

Interactive Car Themed Birthday Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

One of my brother-in-laws loves VW cars and has his own VW Beetle which is his pride and joy, so I always try to make a birthday card featuring a VW car. I had an old Crafter’s Companion Die-sire ‘Circle Swing’ die set and this became a fun interactive base for the car. He also loves gardening and I have used Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery Honey Cuts and Lovely Layers – Dianthus Honey Cuts to decorate the card. The stamp is from Montarga Rubber Stamps shop and it fitted perfectly on the card framed with all the flowers and foliage.

My Project

For my project I die cut and assembled the base card following the instructions from the ‘Circle Swing’ die set. I used the Heartfelt Creations Snowy Pines pale green paper as a background for the decorative dies.

I stamped the VW car image using Memento ink on copic friendly cardstock. I coloured the image with Copic markers and then fussy cut the image. I placed this image on the inner circle that is facing the front when the card is folded up.

I die cut three ‘happy birthday’ dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Happy Occasions Words Dies, stacked them together and then added them to the back side of the inner circle.

I die cut the foliage and flowers from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery Honey Cuts dies in different colours and assembled them before adding them to the sides of the card and both front and back of the inner circle. I coloured the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Dianthus with purple and green inks before assembling them and adding them around the foliage as shown.

Amazing Paper Grace Happily Ever After

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have another timeless and elegant wedding card for you today. While I love making elaborate cards with handmade flowers, sometimes it is quite refreshing to make a quick and easy card using just a few dies. The Amazing Paper Grace Layered Happily Ever After Dies from the 3D Vignette Collection by Becca Feeken had just what I needed for a card and all I needed to complete the card was just three other die sets (listed below the photos) also from Amazing Paper Grace. This card looks amazing in real life and it only took about an hour to complete.

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

My Project

I have made a 4 3/4″ x 6″ top folding card base out of white cardstock and I added a layer of ivory cardstock to the front of the card. I die cut a large rectangle from the Amazing Paper Grace Picot Petite Rectangle dies out of gold cardstock and added it to the front of the card. I cut a piece of pearl ivory embossed paper from my stash to fit the inside of the decorative frame.

I die cut two large label dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Francesca Labels dies – one from ivory and one from gold cardstock. I cut the gold label in half and added it behind the ivory label offsetting the top and bottom of the label for a hint of gold. This was then added to the front of the card.

I die cut the wedding couple using the edge and wedding couple die from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Happily Ever After Dies out of gold cardstock. I then die cut three die cuts using the Happily Ever After die and border die out of ivory cardstock. I stacked the three dies together and then adhered these over the gold wedding couple die. I die cut another label from the Francesa Labels die out of vellum and adhered the decorative dies to the label. I then added the vellum label with the decorative dies to the other labels on the front of the card just by adding glue behind the die cuts.

I made a bow from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Double Bow and Flowers Die set from ivory cardstock and adhered it to the base of the decorative dies. I die cut the flowers from the ivory cardstock and added them around the bow.

To finish I added gold pearls to the centre of the flowers and a large one at the top on the label.
