I often like to make more than one card at a time when I have a die out just to get a feel of how versatile the die set is. And the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2019 – Spun Blessing Oval Etched Dies was no exception. For my card today I have used the small decorative side panels to create a pretty background for the sweet flowers and the sentiment and I kept the same colour combination that I used in the previous card as it was just beautiful and elegant. This card was very quick and easy to made and great to have in my stash.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
For my card I made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of ivory pearl card to fit on top of the card.
I die cut the frame using the largest frame dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangle Etched Dies out of ivory pearl cardstock and made sure to emboss the die to get the texture and dimension from the die. I die cut a shadow frame out of silver cardstock by removing the decorative die from the frame. I adhered the silver shadow frame to the decorative frame and then adhere the frame to the front of the card using foam strips.
I die cut the panel out of green pearl cardstock by using the decorative side pattern twice to create a 4 1/4″ x 3 1/2″ and this was adhered to the front of the card. I stamped the birthday sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Giving Occasions Stamp and Die Set in Versamark ink on the green pearl cardstock and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. I die cut this out with the coordinating die from the same stamp and die set. The sentiment was then added to the card with foam squares.
I die cut the word ‘Hello’ using the die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2021 – Tiara Trifold Etched Dies three times – once from silver cardstock and twice with pearl green cardstock. I stacked these dies toghether with the silver die on top and then added it at an angle above the sentiment as shown.
I die cut flowers out of pink cardstock and leaves out of a mint coloured green cardstock using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies. I added some flowers and leaves from the top right and bottom left of the card and finished the card by adding some pearls to the centres of the flowers.
