Today I have a sweet and simple card to share with you today made using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2019 – Enchanting Battenburg Corners Etched Dies. Sometimes a simple and yet so elegant card is all you need to convey your feelings and this card says it all. Becca Feeken often takes her inspiration from traditional sewing and needlework techniques and many of the Amazing Paper Grace dies are designed to be embossed to create the look of lace. The Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2019 – Enchanting Battenburg Corners Etched Dies were designed to create the beautiful textures that is reminiscent of the beautiful Battenberg lace. You can find out more about the origin of Battenburg lace here.

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

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock.

I created the shadow for the lace dies by using the corner edge dies on two sides of a piece of 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ blue cardstock. I then die cut two complete corner dies using the small lace corner dies out of white cardstock and embossed them to create the texture. These were then added to the shadow die.

I die cut a small label from white cardstock and the next size up label out of blue cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Franscesca Labels Etched Dies. I glued the white label to the blue label before adding it to the centre of the decorative dies.

I then cut a piece of blue cardstock 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ and embossed it using the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel 3D Embossing Folder. I added the decorative medallion I had created to this using foam tape.

I added a strip of white satin ribbon across the centre of the decorative medallion and adhered it behind the embossed card and then added the entire panel to the front of the card.

I stamped the sentiment from Beccy’s Place Magnolia Stamp set on white cardstock using Tuxedo Black ink and then die cut it out using the small tag die from the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace Etched Dies. This was then added to the centre of the labels using some foam tape.

To complete the card I added a double bow using the white satin ribbon and some pearls to the decorative die and on the bow.
