The first Amazing Paper Grace collection by Becca Feeken’s for Spellbinders was just gorgeous! The filigree details on her dies were stunning and the ability to emboss them just elevated them to a whole new level! For my card today I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace Pocket Dies from this collection to create a beautiful detailed background for a hot foiled sentiment, pretty flowers and finished with butterflies and pearls and of course a light dusting of glitter on the flowers.

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

My Project

My base card is a side folding 5″ x 7″ card made from white cardstock. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″ and die cut the pockets from the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace Pocket Dies using just the decorative insets and made sure I embossed both ends, I then die cut 4 pockets – two from white cardstock and two were from gold cardstock. the white pockets were embossed and the gold dies were adhered under the white dies slightly offset, before adding them to the decorative die cuts on the white panel. I then die cut the inner section out of the blue cardstock using the edge dies to cover the mid section. The entire panel was then added to a piece of 5″ x 7″ blue card.

I created a medallion by die cutting two ends of a piece of white cardstock using the half circle decorative die and the outer edge die from white cardstock. I die cut two separate medallion dies out of gold cardstock and added them under the white die cut sides slightly offsetting the gold dies. I then die cut a shadow out of blue cardstock using just the edge dies and adhered this behind the decorative dies. This medallion was added to the front of the card with foam tape.

I made a band using a combination of gold, white and blue cardstocks and added it across the centre of the card and wrapped over the edges and secured with double sided tape. This was then added to the front of the base card.

I die cut and embossed two decorative label dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace Dies from white cardstock, stacked them together before adding the label across the band with foam tape.

The sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Crescent Band Hot Foil Plate set and has been reverse hot foiled with Aura foil and die cut using the small circle die from the Amazing Paper Grace Richelieu Square Dies. I die cut another two plain white circles which were all stacked together and added the foiled sentiment on top. I added the sentiment to the centre of the decorative label.

The leaves and rose buds and flowers have been handcrafted using the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies. The leaves were cut from light green cardstock and I have added Mowed Lawn ink to the edges before shaping the with my fingers and then adding them to the top left of the sentiment. I have used a soft floral shaping paper for the flowers and coloured them with a soft pink ink before assembling them. I have used the sepal de from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Flowers III Dies on the rosebuds before adding them over the leaves.

I added small blue flowers made using dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies around the roses and leaves.

To finish the card I have made three butterflies from the Amazing Paper Grace Garden Shutter Butterfly Bliss Etched Dies from blue, white and gold cardstocks with black bodies and some pearls on the decorative dies. A light dusting of Sparkle dust on the flowers and leaves finishes the card.

Amazing Paper Grace Hot Foiled Gold and White Thank You Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

Today I have a very elegant white and gold thank you card to share with you. I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Glimmer Place Card Mini Topper Hot Foil Plate as a base for layering die cuts and added some sweet flowers. I have also used a die – the Amazing Paper GraceA2 Swirl Background Etched Dies – to create the embossed finish on the background

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

My Project

For my card today I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of brushed gold cardstock 4 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and I then cut a piece of white cardstock and embossed it using the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Swirl Background Etched Dies for some texture and added it to the front of the gold card.

I heat embossed both ends of the Amazing Paper Grace Glimmer Place Card Mini Topper Hot Foil Plate and then die cut it with the die that comes with this set. I matted this with some brushed gold cardstock and added it to the front of the card. I then die cut two edges out of brushed gold cardstock using the small topper die from the same set. I added these over the hot foiled images on the front of the card. To hide the join I cut a 1″ strip of brushed gold cardstock, embossed a line 1/8″ each side before adding a strip of hot foiled border using the hot foil plates from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Glimmer Borders and Sentiments on top and then adding to the front of the card and folding the edges of the band behind the front panel before adhering the complete panel to the card base.

I die cut three small circles using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Circle dies – one from brushed gold cardstock, one from gold glitter cardstock and one from mirror gold cardstock. I layered these together to show the brushed gold cardstock rim, the gold glitter shadow and the mirror gold elegant twist on top. This was then added to the front of the band and panel with some foam tape.

The sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Glorious Glimmer Elegant Occasions Hot Foil Plate has been hot foiled using Aura foil on Hammermill cardstock. This was die cut with the coordinating die and I also die cut two other plain dies to stack together with the foiled sentiment on top. This was then added to the centre of the circle medallion.

The flowers were die cut from white cardstock, coloured with light yellow ink and then shaped using my fingers and then added to the bottom left of the circles. I die cut green leaves using the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Lilies Etched Dies, shaped with my fingers and added around the flowers. I also added some gold glitter leaves using the die from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif Etched Dies.

To finish the card I added some Frosted Lace stickles to the flowers and gold pearls to the centre of the flowers and on the decorative dies, corners of the central panel and on the hot foiled border.

Amazing Paper Grace Rolled Flowers Elegant Birthday Cards

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

My card today is centred around the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace Flourish Frame die along with some gorgeous rolled flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Loop Roll Flowers. It is always good to try something different and I was happy with these flowers once I realised that I had to use a very light weight paper when rolling these flowers. I have also had a play with layering different die cuts for the background and I love the different textures I created. And I absolutely loved this pale blue, cream and pale green colour combination and will definitely revisit it again in the future. The hot foiled sentiment in silver really added some elegance to the card.

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

My Project

For my project I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card out of white cardstock. I then matted some light blue embossed paper with some cream cardstock and added this panel to the front of the card.

I then die cut the inner decorative dies out of cream cardstock and embossed the small detail die on each end of the inner elongated oval die. These were adhered to the centre of the card.

I then die cut a medium rectangle frame out using the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies and adhere it around the inner decorative dies on the front of the card.

I then die cut the outer frame out of cream cardstock and embossed the die for more detail. I added this to the card using foam strips.

Another rectangle frame was made this time using the small dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies and adhered horizontally over the outer frame using some foam strips to keep the frame level.

To finish the background I die cut a circular frame using the Amazing Paper Grace Tiara Rondelle Etched Dies out of cream cardstock and this was added over all the frames and dies.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Glorious Glimmer Elegant Occasions Hot Foil Plate in Prism foil on Hammermil cardstock and then die cut it with the coordinating die. I die cut another two plain dies and a silver die and stacked them together before adding the foiled sentiment on top and the silver die slightly offset to show some silver at the bottom. The sentiment was then added to the centre of the frames using foam squares in the centre to keep level.

I die cut one large loop die and three small loop dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Loop Roll Flowers out of pearl paper from my stash. I used double sided tape to adhere the edges together before rolling the dies to make flowers. I added one small flower to the centre of the large flower and added it to the bottom left of the sentiment. I then added another small flower beside that flower and the other small flower to the top right of the frame.

I then die cut the leaves out of green cardstock – some were left intact and some were the outline dies. These were added around the flowers and I had to trim the leaves around the small flower at the top right of the card.

To finish the card I added pearls to the centre of the flowers and on the decorative frame.

Amazing Paper Grace Congratulations Card

Welcome back and today I have another card to share with you today that was quick and easy to make using just a couple of dies and an embossing folder for more texture and depth to the background. I had coloured a beautiful foiled floral image with Copic markers and because there is no coordinating die I decided to use the Amazing Paper Grace Bella Luce Oval Etched Dies to die cut the image out with an oval die and make it the centre piece of the card.

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 then cut a piece of brushed gold cardstock 5″ x 7″ and matted it with white cardstock before adding another layer using brushed gold cardstock and an embossed a layer of white cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel 3D Embossing Folder with fun foam. I then added gold ribbon to the four corners before adding the entire panel to the front of the card.

I then die cut the decorative frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Bella Luce Oval Etched Dies out of white cardstock and then die cut a shadow frame out of brushed gold cardstock. The gold frame was adhered behind the decorative frame and then was added to the card front with foam squares.

I hot foiled the press plate from the Better Press System with gold foil and then coloured the image with Copic MarkI die cut the coloured image out using the inner plain oval die from the Amazing Paper Grace Bella Luce Oval Etched Dies and then I die cut the decorative inner frame out of white cardstock before adhering it to the coloured oval image. This was then added to the centre of the frame.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Glorious Glimmer Elegant Occasions Hot Foil Plate in Aura foil on Hammermill cardstock before die cutting it with the coordinating die. I then die cut another two plain dies before stacking the dies together with the foiled sentiment on top. The sentiment was then added to the frame using some foam tape in the centre of the frame to keep the sentiment level.

I added a gold ribbon bow to the top of the oval frame and pearls to decorate the decorative oval frame and also the decorative oval over the coloured image.
