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.
