Kia ora Koutou
I was asked recently to make some New Zealand Christmas themed Christmas cards and I thought it would be a great opportunity to use the Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Borders – Graceful Frame Maker Etched Die to create a frame for this cute kiwi on a beach scene. I was really happy with how this card turned out. And I love the cute Santa kiwi too!
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
I am so amazed at the ingenuity of this die to create so many different frame combinations and for this card I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Borders – Graceful Fans Etched Dies to make a fan border for the image. I have also used the Amazing Paper Grace Classic Fluted Square Etched Dies to complete the frame. I have added some poinsettias and foliage from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month November 2020 Pop up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh Etched Dies and the I have mounted the foiled sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month November 2020 Pop up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh Etched Dies on the banner from the Amazing Paper Grace Vintage Pierced Banners Etched Dies. To finish the card I have added some sparkle on the sea and the flowers using some Diamond Stickles and to the hat with Stickles Frosted Lace and some gold pearls to the corners and flower centres.
You can see how this die works in this video that Becca Feeken has made here:
