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.
