I am really enjoying taking a stroll down memory lane with the Amazing Paper Grace Dies of the Month and I really love the Pop Up 3D Vignettes as they are just ‘amazing’ and so full of detail that they look so real. Today I have the stunning Amazing Paper Grace Pop Up 3D Vignette Typewriter which was the Die of the Month for April 2020. This die takes me back to my school days and learning to type on the old typewriters little knowing how vital touch typing was going to be in the future. For my card I have chosen to create a ‘flat’ card using pretty papers and embellishments and a beautiful background die to showcase this beautiful die set.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
To create my card I have created a top folding 5 3/4″ x 6″ base card out of white cardstock. I then layered gold card and patterned paper from Mintay Peony Garden paper to the front of the card.
I die cut three frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Ornamental Valance dies – two from pearl pink paper and one from gold cardstock. I stacked the two pink dies together and then trimmed the gold die in half before adding it behind the pink dies offsetting slightly for a hint of gold. The frame was added to the front of the card and then I added the inner label in gold on top of the frame.
I die cut the typewriter out of gold and pearl pink cardstock and assembled it according to the instructions. Becca Feeken also has a video here on how she constructed the Amazing Paper Grace Pop Up 3D Vignette Typewriter here. For the sentiment pieces I have used some labels from the Mintay Paper Elements – Peony Garden, 27 pcs as white or cream cardstock was too stark. And I added black cardstock on the back to highlight the sentiments. I layered the sentment pieces on first and then added the typewriter base over them with foam tape for dimension. I embellished the typewriter with ephemera from Mintay Peony Garden die cuts using foam tape for dimension and stability.
To finish the card I added pearls on the keys, and on the typewriter as well as on the Ornamental Valance die and gold pearls to the front of the typewriter.
