A Handbag Style Pop-Up Diorama Birthday Card

I was recently asked to do a birthday card for someone special who loved bears in a forest and purple chrysanthemums. I had an idea to do a diorama card that showed a bear in a forest surrounded by trees and woodland animals and I found this design for a handbag style diorama card on YouTube here that had been designed by Sam Calcott from Mixed Up Crafts. This fitted perfectly with what I was aiming to achieve although I did add some extra dimension and depth inside the diorama where I added some trees to create more of a forest feel and of course I had to add lots of sparkly flowers and butterflies and little creatures to further embellish the scene.

I have used a mix of mainly Amazing Paper Grace and Honey Bee Stamps dies to create this card and used a totally different colour scheme of kraft, teals and purples to what I would normally do but it came together very well. I purchased the bear and some of the woodland animals images from Etsy and they worked in well with the different flowers, trees, grass and animal dies to create the look of a forest.

Lots of shine and sparkle were added with glitter, clear sparkles, glitter paper and Stickles as this reflected on the recipient who is a lovely, bright and bubbly person and a joy to be around.

I know this card will always be treasured and I enjoyed putting all my love and energy into make this a very special birthday keepsake.

(Apologies for the photos – they were taken quickly and in poor light and it was really difficult to show how gorgeous this card really was.)

Today I have my second card for the Pink Fresh Studio August 2024 Challenge. This month the challenge is to use washi tape and or use the following inks: Sparkling Rose/Peony, Lavender, Mulberry Blush, Storm, and Sage.

My card today features the Pink Fresh Studio Enchanting Flora washi tape and was so easy to put together.

Once again I have hot foiled the background with the Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid Press Plate but this time I have used Matte Silver foil for a more subtle finish.

I then die cut four stitched scallop dies out of white cardstock and glued two sets of inner squares together before laying them on the front of the plaid squares overlapping them in the centre of the card front.

I die cut a couple of sets of the Pink Fresh Studio Enchanting Flora washi tapes and then added them over the squares as shown – at the top and bottom of the squares and also in the centre where the squares meet.

I added a frame die cut using the Pink Fresh Studio Notched Corner dies using foam tape to hide the edges of the floral images.

The hot foiled sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil Plate in the same Matte Silver foil and then die cut with the coordinating die. I die cut another three plain dies and stacked them all together with the foiled sentiment on top before adding it to the centre of the card over the flowers with some foam squares to make it even.

To finish the card I have added some silver pearls from Pink Fresh Studio.

Celebrating You with Purple Chrysanthemums from Honey Bee Stamps

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

I enjoy creating beautiful flowers using the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers dies and the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Mum Honey Cuts is just gorgeous and so easy to put together. This card has been created for the August 2024 Honey Bee Stamps/Buzzworthy Challenge on Facebook which is all about sparkle. My card is all about sparkle and shine with glitter paper, sparkly gems and glitter on the flowers and leaves.

To create my card I have created a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I watched an interesting video by Jennifer McGuire on how to use vellum in different ways so I die cut the Honey Bee Stamps Cover Plate Burlap die using vellum and then coloured it with some pale green ink to create my background for the gorgeous purple ‘Mums’. I love the soft finish of the vellum that contrasts with the strong vibrant purple flowers.

To create a focal point for the flowers and sentiment I have added a frame in purple glitter paper paper which also coordinates with the purple flowers. I die cut an extra plain frame out of white cardstock and glued it behind the purple frame for some extra dimension to the frame.

The flowers and leaves have been coloured with Copic markers and I assembled it using the instructions and used some foam squares for more dimension and depth with the flowers. For the sparkle I have used the Bearly Art glue to add some dots of glue on the flowers and leaves and then dusted some Sparkling Dust to create the shine.

To finish the card I have added a sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps Celebrating You Stamp and Die Set that was stamped in dark purple ink on white cardstock before being die cut with the coordinating die. I die cut more plain sentiments and stacked them together with the stamped sentiment on top and then added it over the frame with foam tape to keep the sentiment level over the frame.

To complete the sparkle I have added some Pink Fresh Studio Gems – Glacier around the flowers, frame and sentiment.

Wishing You a Beautiful Day with Amazing Paper Grace

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

What I love about Amazing Paper Grace dies is that the dies do all the heavy lifting and it takes no time at all to create beautiful, elegant and timeless cards. Today’s card uses just four Amazing Paper Grace die sets – one for a stunning background, one for highlighting the sentiment and two die sets for the flowers and leaves.

The lovely soft green and silver cardstock I have used makes a beautiful combination and really highlights the gorgeous Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2019 – Spun Blessing Oval Etched Dies. I then used the Amazing Paper Grace Beautiful Dreamer Stamp and Die Set to create the focal point for the silver heat embossed sentiment on the lovely tag die that comes with the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2019 – Spun Blessing Oval Etched Dies. The flowers were a combination of the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Five Flowers Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies that I had already made in my stash. This card took no time at all to come together.

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

My Project

For my card I have created a top folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I have then created layers using silver and green cardstock on the front of the card. I then die cut the shadow die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2019 – Spun Blessing Oval Etched Dies out of white pearl cardstock. I then die cut the decorative die using all the inlay decorative dies out of green cardstock and adhered it to the shadow die. This was then added to the front of the card using fun foam for more dimension. I finished the card front with a piece of coordinating green ribbon across length ways over the decorative die.

I die cut the decorative label die from the Amazing Paper Grace Beautiful Dreamer Stamp and Die Set out of silver cardstock and adhered it to the centre of the decorative frame die with foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps Mini Messages Stamp set in Versamark ink on green cardstock and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment out using the long decorative tag die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2019 – Spun Blessing Oval Etched Dies and adhered it to the front of the decorative label die.

I had some leaves and flowers already made and used a petal from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched dies with a flower that I had made earlier here from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Five Flowers Etched Dies to make a totally new flower. The leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched dies had been coloured with a soft mint colour ink which matched the colours I had used so well

To finish the card I added a ribbon bow out of green ribbon with a pearl on top to the right side of the sentiment label and then added pearls to the decorative dies as shown.

Sending Big Hugs and Irises With Love

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Today I have a card made for a very special person. She loves yellow and purple and was an avid gardener and taught me so much about gardening although I definitely do not have green fingers!! Her gardens were a riot of colour with the most amazing flowers including irises. This card is also my submission for the Honey Bee Stamps Buzzworthy Challenge for sparkly cards on Facebook.

The Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Iris Honey Cuts were perfect for this card. The irises look so real and are very easy to assemble even without the instructions. I have used purple and yellow inks to colour the irises and then added some yellow pollen to the centre of the flowers and some Ultrafine Crystal Glitter on the outside of the flowers for some sparkle. The leaves have been coloured with green inks before assembling with the flowers.

For the background to the flowers and foliage I have embossed white cardstock using the Honey Bee Stamps 3D Embossing Folder – Sandie’s Garden which is just lovely layered with purple glitter cardstock.

The background foliage are leaves from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Winter Greenery Honey Cuts which have been die cut from a light green cardstock and ink blended with green ink.

No garden is complete without bees and I have used the gorgeous bee from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Bugs Honey Cuts made from black and yellow cardstocks. The wings have been die cut out of vellum, coloured with a pale purple alcohol marker and then finished with some Perfect Pearls – Pearl for a luminescent finish.

The ‘With Love’ sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Etched dies and has been die cut out of purple glitter cardstock and stacked with another two layers of white dies before adding to the top right of the card. I have stamped the sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps Mini Messages Stamps in dark purple ink on white cardstock and then die cut with the coordinating die. This was then matted with purple glitter cardstock and then added to the centre of the sentiment die with some foam squares.

Pink Fresh Studio Challenge August 2024 – Hope Your Day Is Wonderful

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have finally got round to finishing off my cards for the Pink Fresh Studio August 2024 Challenge. This month the challenge is to use washi tape and or use the following inks: Sparkling Rose/Peony, Lavender, Mulberry Blush, Storm, and Sage.

For my first card I have chosen to use the challenge inks to colour the images of the Vines and Roses – Peony, Lavender, Mulberry Blush, Storm and Sage. These are interesting colours to use together and ones that I would not normally put together. So I was pleasantly surprised how the coloured images came together to create a cool colour combination. I normally use a lot of gold and warm colours on my cards so it was nice to use silver for a change.

For my background for my card I have hot foiled the Diagonal Plaid Press Plate with Matte Silver and Silver Speckled Prism foils. The press plates foiled perfectly and the background really sparkles with the Speckled Prism foils.

One of my favourite frame layering dies is the Pink Fresh Studio Notched Corner dies and I use them a lot. Here I have die cut an outside frame as well as in inner frame for the florals and sentiments to be the focus of the card.

The sentiment is also one I use a lot as it can be used for so many different occasions – Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and Die. I have foiled the sentiment in Matte Silver foil and then stacked it with another two plain dies to add to the centre of the card.

To finish I added some silver pearls from Pink Fresh Studio for a clean and fresh look.

Amazing Paper Grace 3D Pop Up Bouquet Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I really enjoy playing the Amazing Paper Grace Pop Up 3D Vignettes as they are so versatile and can be used any way. Plus they can be folded up to fit in a standard envelope – a win win in my book. Becca Feeken is an amazing and innovative designer and this Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month January 2020 – 3D Pop Up Bouquet is no exception. I have made a pop up card as well as making a conventional card (keep following me to see what I have made) using this die set. Everything is included in this die set to make a complete card and all I needed to do was choose my colour combination and the sentiment.

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

My Project

For my project today I have made a 3D Pop Up Vignette using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month January 2020 – 3D Pop Up Bouquet following the instructions given with the packaging. I have used a mix of gold and glitter gold cardstock with white cardstock to make the flowers. For the base of the card I have die cut another front and back out of gold cardstock and added behind the white dies slightly offsetting them so there is a hint of gold on the base of the card front and back.

The sentiment is from the Beccy’s Place Magnolia Stamp Set which perfectly fitted the tag that goes with this die set.

To finish this gorgeous bouquet I added gold and white pearls to the centres of the flowers depending on the combination of colours of the flowers and I added a small white ribbon bow to the tag on the front and added a small gold flower and a gold pearl in the centre. White pearls were also added to the front of the ‘vase’ to complete the pop up card.

I had so much fun using the Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid Press Plate making different backgrounds that coordinate with the flowers that I have made. My card today uses the Summer Shower and Eucalyptus inks that I used to colour the leaves in the Pink Fresh Studio Delighted For You Stamp for the diagonal plaid and it makes the whole card look cohesive and balanced. I also ink blended the lighter yellow and blue tones of these colours for the background inside the frame which helps to make the flowers pop more from the background. I also added an extra layer behind the flowers to give the flowers more stability and dimension and did the same for the sentiment. To finish my card I added some Pink Fresh Studio Glacier gems for some sparkle around the sentiment.

Hello Rainbow Unicorn Baby Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I have another baby card to share with you that I made for my daughter’s friend who loves unicorns and rainbows. I have used a mix of Amazing Paper Grace and Pink Fresh Studio dies to make this card and the unicorn, rainbow and bow images I purchased off Etsy to create this gender neutral card which the recipient loved.

To keep with the rainbow theme I ink blended the background with rainbow colour inks using a cloud stencil. I then partially embossed it with the Spellbinders 3D Tufted Embossing Folder. I also made the flowers with the same ink colours to create further harmony with the colours.

The Amazing Paper Grace Grand Cabinet Dies were the perfect frame for the sweet unicorn and the rainbow and reminds me of beautiful draping of a baby cradle.

Sparkle was added with lots of stickles on the flowers and images, iridescent gems on the frame and the holographic card for the large letter dies from Lawn Fawn.

Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Baby Boy

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I have a sweet baby boy card to share with you today featuring the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month October 2019 One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies as the base for the oversized ‘Sweet’ word from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies and the gorgeous stork from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Layered Bundle of Joy Dies. The florals and small leaves are in the One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies and all I needed to add was some more foliage from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies.

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

My Project

For my card I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card out of white cardstock. I added the lovely blue floral paper from Mintay to the front of the card. I die cut the frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month October 2019 One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies out of white cardstock and added it to the front with foam tape. I used the same die to cut out the bottom half of the die out of blue wood effect paper and then added the paper to the inside of the frame as shown.

I die cut the inner decorative banner out of the blue wood effect paper and added it to the panel that goes across the front of the card. I then die cut a piece of white cardstock using the inner plain die and sponged the edges with blue ink before adding over the decorative blue frame. I die cut the letters to spell ‘Baby Boy” out of dark blue cardstock and added it to the panel as shown.

For the sentiment I die cut the large ‘Sweet’ sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies out of white cardstock and ink blended an ombre effect using Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I then die cut another sentiment out of dark blue cardstock, added it behind the ombre sentiment and adhered it to the top half of the card.

I die cut the stork from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Bundle of Joy out of white cardstock and coloured it with grey and orange inks. I die cut the bundle out of white cardstock and ink blended it with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and added it to the stork. To finish the stork I used a black pen to add the eye. This stork was then added to the card on the right using foam squares.

I die cut some foliage from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies out of light green cardstock, trimmed the foliage and then added it to the bottom right and top left of the sentiment panel as well as on the bundle on the stork. I die cut the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month October 2019 One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies out of soft flower shaping paper and coloured them with lavender and yellow inks. These were spritzed and shaped and once dry were added over the foliage around the central panel and on the bundle. I coloured the leaves with green ink and added them around the flowers.

To finish the card I added small pearls to the centres of the flowers and to the decorative panel as shown.
