Roses and Butterfly Pink Fresh Studio Challenge June 2024

Kia ora Koutou

I have my first entry for this month’s Pink Fresh Studio Monthly Challenge for June 2024. This month the challenge is to create an ombre or gradient element and the ink colours are Waterfall, Slumber, Sparkling Rose, Mimosa, Lemon Whip & Soft Lilac.

For my card I have really embraced the gorgeous rainbow colours on both the flowers and card base by creating rainbow coloured roses and a hot foiled rainbow coloured panel using the new Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid BetterPress Plate on the background of the card.

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I then cut another piece of white cardstock the same size and used the Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid BetterPress plate to emboss this card without colour using my Spellbinders Platinum machine. This embossed panel was then added to the front of the card base.

I then hot foiled another piece of white cardstock using Spellbinders Opal foil which acted as a type of resist and then created a rainbow effect by using all the inks in this challenge. I trimmed a piece of this rainbow card to 5 1/2″ x 1 1/2″. I die cut the decorative edge from white cardstock using the Pink Fresh Studio Lacey Edges 1 die set and adhered this behind the rainbow strip. This panel was then added to the left side of the card. I finished this edge by adding a very thin strip of white cardstock along the edge with the lace edge.

I stamped the rose image from the Pink Fresh Studio Garden Roses set using VersaMark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing Powder. I then coloured the roses in a rainbow effect using the stencil and the challenge inks. I die cut this image out and then stacked the die with another 3 plain dies withe the coloured image on top before adding to the front of the card.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil Plate in gold foil and die cut it with the coordinating die. I stacked two plain dies with the foiled sentiment on top and added it to the bottom left of the card over the roses.

I hot foiled the butterflies from the Pink Fresh Studio Small Butterflies Hot Foil Plate in Matte Gold foil and coloured them with Mimosa and Sparkling Rose inks before die cutting with the coordinating die. I added a butterfly using foam squares under the wings.

To finish the card I have added Glacier Jewels around the sentiment and flowers.

Amazing Paper Grace Snip it Grid and Calendar Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Today I am using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – June 2020 Snip it Grid and Calendar Creator dies for my project. This is a fabulous die set that can be used to create special handcrafted calendars, invitations and so much more and I love how it includes an alphabet as well as numbers to personalise your projects. Here I have made a card that is going in my wedding album as a special memento of my wedding day. This would be perfect as a keepsake for a wedding album and the two extra sentiment dies help make it easy to use as an invitation or as a decorative introduction to the album – or even wedding stationery. I have used this for a wedding but it could be easily used for many other occasions as well. Check out how Becca Feeken has used the letters to make a crossword puzzle card here.

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

My Project

For my project I have created a side folding base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of gold cardstock 5″ x 7″ and added it to the front of the card. I then cut a piece of pearlised ivory embossed paper slightly smaller and added it to the front of the gold card.

I die cut two grids from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2020 Snip It Grid and Calendar Creator Etched Dies – one from gold cardstock and one from cream cardstock. I stacked the two dies together with the gold die on top. I cut a piece of ivory pearl card to fit behind the grid.

I die cut the letters and numbers from the same set twice – one from gold and one from cream cardstock. I stacked the numbers and letters together with the gold die on top and then added them to the grid. The grid was then added to the top of the card as shown.

I cut a piece of gold card 5″ x 1 1/2″, scored at 1/8″ along the long side and then added to the bottom of the card. I cut a piece of ivory pearl card 5″ x 1 1/8″ and added it to the gold strip. I die cut two banners – one from gold cardstock and one from ivory pearl card. I trimmed the gold banner in half and added it behind the ivory banner slightly offsetting the gold at each end. I die cut two sentiments – one from gold and one from cream cardstock. These were stacked with the gold die on top and added to the banner.

I die cut the flowers and leaves using the flower and leaf dies from this set out of soft flower shaping paper. I coloured the flower petals using a soft peach and pink ink and the leaves with green inks. I spritzed the petals and leaves with water and then shaped them. Once dry the flowers were assembled with two petals of each size and the flowers and leaves were added to the front as shown.

To finish I added some Frosted Lace Stickles to the petals and leaves and pearls to the centres of the flowers and empty grid squares and on each end of the banner.

Amazing Paper Grace Rose and Filigree Slip In Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have another very simple and yet very dramatic card to share with you today. I am normally using pastel colours but here I have used a black background to highlight stunning watercoloured roses using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month December 1919 Rose and Filigree Duo Slip in Card. I have taken my inspiration for this card from a YouTube video that showed how to watercolour images by using a die to emboss watercolour paper then watercolouring the embossed image and adding the outline die over top. I kept the background and sentiment very simple to highlight the gorgeous roses.

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

My Project

For my card I have created a top folding 6″ x 5″ base card out of white cardstock. I die cut the black frame using the rectangle frame and the slip in rose filigree die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month December 1919 Rose and Filigree Duo Slip in Card. I then die cut another rose filigree shadow die out of watercolour cardstock and embossed it using the decorative insert. I watercoloured the image using watercolour paints and then adhered the painted image behind the black outline die.

I then cut a piece of gold cardstock 5 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ and a piece of old green wood pattern paper 4 3/8″ x 5 3/8″ and adhered to the front of the gold card. I then slipped this panel behind the filigree slip. This card front was then added to the front of the base card.

I die cut three ‘best wishes’ dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Make a Scene Bold Greetings – two from black cardstock and one from gold cardstock. I stacked these together with the gold sentiment on top and then added the sentiment to the bottom right.

To finish the card I added some gold pearls around the sentiment.

I love ‘twofor’ cards where I can make two cards out of one lot of die cutting. A little while ago I made a card using the Amazing Paper Grace December 2020 Die of the Month – Rose Garden Promise – you can see it here. I die cut the die set out of gold cardstock and just used the gold inlay pieces on the frame for that card but I still had the frame and the rest of the inlay rose and leaf pieces left over. So it was so easy to create a second card using these pieces and some flowers left over from another project. The result was an elegant congratulations card that was so quick and easy to make and so easy to post as well.

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

My Project

For my project I made a top folding 5″ x 7″ card base out of white cardstock and then I added a piece of 5″ x 7″ cream cardstock to the front of the card.

I added the gold frame and the gold leaves and roses inlays from the Amazing Paper Grace December 2020 Die of the Month – Rose Garden Promise to the front of the card.

I die cut three sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace March 2020 Die of the Month March 2020 Elegant Infinity Etched Dies – two from cream cardstock and one from gold cardstock. These were stacked together with the gold die on top and then added to the centre of the frame as shown.

I die cut the flourish from the Amazing Paper Grace December 2020 Die of the Month – Rose Garden Promise out of gold cardstock and trimmed it in half before adding the flourish to both sides of the sentiment.

The flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Happily Ever After Die set were die cut out of ivory pearl card and added over the flourish. To finish the card I added a gold pearl to the centres of the flowers.

Kia ora Koutou

Welcome back for another Amazing Paper Grace post. Today I have gone back to my favourite style – ivory and gold classic and elegant card featuring the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2020 Fanfare Elegant Rectangles Etched Dies. I so love the lacy and delicate dies that are perfect to add pretty handcrafted flowers made with the flower dies that came in the same set. This would be the perfect wedding card that will make a wonderful keepsake for the wedding album.

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

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I then added some gold cardstock to the front and layered some ivory pearl card over it after scoring two lines on each side 1/8″ apart.

I die cut to outer decorative frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2020 Fanfare Elegant Rectangles Etched Dies – one from ivory pearl card and one from gold card. I trimmed the gold frame in half and added it behind the ivory frame and then adhered it to the front of the card.

I die cut 8 medallions from the same die set out of ivory pearl card and trimmed 6 of them in half. These motifs are designed to be trimmed and can be slotted on to edges for a decorative finish. I added four flourishes to each corner of the card and then added a lacy decorative edge to each side of the inner cut out and I then added the 6 lacy edges around the inner cut out and adhered the pretty lace edged inner cut out to the centre of the frame with foam tape.

I die cut an oval frame out of ivory pearl card using the small oval dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Oval Etched Dies and added the frame to the centre of the inner panel with foam tape and the inner oval to the centre of the frame.

I die cut the leaves out of light green cardstock using the leaf dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Flowers III Etched Dies and trimmed them to add to the top left and bottom right of the oval frames. I die cut small leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motif Etched Dies out of gold glitter cardstock and added them around the green leaves.

I die cut the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2020 Fanfare Elegant Rectangles Etched Dies out of soft flower shaping paper. These were coloured with pink, yellow and blue inks, shaped and assembled with wire pollens. The wires were trimmed and the flowers were added over the tleaves.

I die cut the butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Etched Dies using the ivory pearl card and yellow pearl card with the body made from gold glitter cardstock. The butterfly was assembled and added to the bottom of the fluted classic frame.

I die cut four sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2020 Elegant Infinity Etched Dies – three from ivory pearl card and one from gold cardstock. These were stacked together with the gold die on top and then added to the centre of the oval fluted classic frame.

To complete the card I added pearls to the decorative frame and the corner motifs.

Pink Fresh Studio Challenge Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I am leaving this a bit late but here is my challenge card for the Pink Fresh Studio May 2024 Challenge. The challenge for May is ‘Flower Power’ and the recommended inks are Bubble Gum, Sunkissed, Citron, Atlantis, & Ocean Breeze. For my card I have used the Vines & Roses stamp, stencils and coordinating dies to create the flowers and use the inks. I had a lot of fun mixing and matching the Citron, Atlantis and Ocean Breeze inks on the leaves and the Bubble Gum and Sunkissed inks on the flowers.

My Project

I have created a side folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut another piece of white cardstock the same size and lightly blended Ocean Breeze ink on using the stencil from the Stained Glass Window stencil set. I die cut the Stained Glass die out of white cardstock using the coordinating die and adhered this over the stenciled image. This panel was then added to the front of the card.

I die cut two large frames using the Pink Fresh Studio Notched Corner Frame dies out of white cardstock. I stacked these together and added the frame to the front of the card.

I stamped the images from the Pink Fresh Studio Roses & Vines stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink on white cardstock and coloured the images with the challenge inks before die cutting with the coordinating die. I added a leaf spray to the top right and bottom left of the card going over the frame.

I die cut three medium frames and one background from the Pink Fresh Studio Notched Corner Frame dies and stacked them together on the plain background before adding them to the card front over the leaves.

I then added the leaves and flowers to the top right and bottom left of the inner frame using foam squares to get some depth and dimension to the layers.

The sentiment is from the Pink Fresh Studio roses & Vines stamp set and has been stamped in Tuxedo ink on white cardstock and die cut with the coordinating die. I also die cut three plain dies and stacked the dies together with the stamped sentiment on top. This was added to the card as show using some foam tape where needed.

To finish the card I have added some Glacier jewels to the centre of the frame for some sparkle.

Amazing Paper Grace Victorian Crest Shabby Chic Birthday Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I was recently asked to do a birthday card for my husband’s boss and the brief was that the recipient loved fashion. I purchased some gorgeous fashion related papers and ephemera and teamed it up with the Amazing Paper Grace Victoriana Crest Dies to create a very romantic, shabby chic birthday card. I have also used just one floral die set – the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies to create three different flowers which were the aged using Perfect Pearls to further enhance the shabby chic feel of the card.

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

My Project

I created a side folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I layered rose pink cardstock, floral paper, ivory pearl paper and striped paper to create the background to the embellishments.

I die cut the large decorative frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Victoriana Crest Etched Dies out of rose pink cardstock and embossed it for more depth and dimension. I then added this to the front of the card using foam tape. I then die cut two inner floral frames from the same die set out of ivory pearl paper, stacked them together and them added it to the inside of the frame.

I fussy cut the elements from the Mintay Her Story Paper and added them to the inside left of the frame using foam tape to add more dimension to some of the images.

I die cut the leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched dies out of soft flower shaping paper and coloured them with Sage and Eucalyptus inks to tie in with the colours on the pattern paper. These were spritzed lightly before shaping and when dry were added to the bottom left of the frame over the ephemera.

I die cut the rose petals using the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched dies out of soft flower shaping paper. I coloured the roses using Coral Berry and Lemon Whip inks before spritzing them, shaping and assembling. into two roses. The small rose petals were coloured with Ballet Slipper, Strawberry and Grapevine inks and the small pale pink flowers were coloured with Lemon Whip and Cherry Blossom inks. I used wire pollens for the centres of the small flowers. When the flowers were assembled I added Copper, Bronze, and Pearl Perfect Pearls to the flowers using a water brush to get the antique look I was after. Once all the flowers were assembled and completely dry I added them over the leaves.

I then added more floral and foliage ephemera from the pattern paper around the flowers and leaves.

I stamped the sentiment from the amazing Paper Grace Lyrical Layers Clear Stamp and Die set on ivory pearl paper with Wow embossing ink and heat embossed it with Rose Gold Embossing Powder. I die cut the sentiment out using the coordinating die and another couple of plain dies. These were stacked together with the sentiment on top and then added to the card as shown.

To finish my card I added pearls to the outer and inner decorative frames and on the chair.

Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Knots Anniversary Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have a stunning anniversary card to share with you today featuring the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month August 2019 Elegant Knots Etched Dies as a base for gorgeous flowers and some elegant Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist layering dies. A timeless and classic hot foiled sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant occasion Hot Foil Plate and a pretty coordinating ribbon bow finishes the card beautifully.

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

My Project

To make my card I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of cream cardstock. I added a layer of rose pearl card and another layer of pink pearl paper that I had scored every 1/8″ for some texture.

Using the outer shadow die I die cut a shadow out of pink pearl paper which I then embossed with the inner decorative die. I die cut two decorative dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month August 2019 Elegant Knots Etched Dies – one from rose pearl card and one from rose glitter card. I trimmed the glitter die in half and then adhered the rose die over the glitter die slightly offsetting the glitter die. This was then added to the embossed shadow die before adhering to the front of the card.

I wrapped some pink/gold silk ribbon to the centre of the dies.

I then die cut the layers for the centre using the large and medium dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant twist Ovals Etched Dies alternating the rose pearl card and the rose glitter cad. I added the top layer using foam tape.

I hot foiled the sentiment to the pink pearl paper using Rose Gold Foil and die cut the sentiment using the coordinating die. I die cut another plain die from the rose card and adhered the sentiment to this before adding to the middle of the oval dies.

I die cut the leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cottage Flowers dies out of light green cardstock and inked the leaves with green ink to create shape and dimension. The leaves were then added to the left side of the oval.

I die cut small leaves out of light green cardstock from the Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motif Etched Dies and added them around the bigger leaves.

I die cut the flourish from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud dies out of rose gold glitter cardstock and adhered it over the leaves.

I die cut the flowers out of flower shaping paper using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Cinch and Go Flowers dies. I coloured these with pink inks and sprayed them with Glimmer Mist. The flowers were then shaped and assembled when dry with two of one size petals and one smaller petal. I used brown wire stamens in the centres. I die cut the sepals out of green cardstock and inked the edges with green ink before adding them to the base of the flowers. The wires were trimmed and the flowers added over the top of the leaves.

I die cut the smaller flowers out of flower shaping paper using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies. These were coloured with pink and peach inks and sprayed with Glimmer Mist. Once dry these were shaped and I added some yellow pearl stamens to the centres. I then added the small flowers around the leaves and larger flowers.

To finish the card I made a bow out of the pink and gold ribbon and added it to the right side of the oval and added a rose coloured pearl to the centre.

Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Reveal Shutter Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Last week I posted a quick and simple card made using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month February 2020 – Elegant Reveal Shutter Card Card Dies. This week I have a card showing the elegant reveal shutter element when you open the card using the dies provided in this die set. This would be a perfect wedding card or a very special card for a significant occasion. This die set makes it so easy to create a stunning interactive card in no time at all.

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

My Project

There is a video tutorial from Becca Feeken on how to assemble this card here.

Inside Back of Card

I have cut a piece of cream cardstock 6″ x 12″ and scored at 3″ and 9″ and folded the sides in to make a 6″ x 6″ gatefold card base. For the inside back of the card I have added a piece of gold cardstock and coordinating cream and gold pearl pattern paper. I then added a gold frame using the small and medium size label dies. I die cut the shutter mechanisms out using the dies in the die set out of cream cardstock. I die cut the label out of the of the middle using the middle sized label die and then adhered this to the inside back by the top and bottom tabs using foam tape. I gold embossed the sentiment on some scrap cream cardstock and die cut it out with the middle sized label die and then added the stamped label inside the aperture. To finish the centre panel I added a gold frame using the medium and large label dies to the aperture opening.

I die cut two side pieces out of cream cardstock using both the decorative panel and base and added gold cardstock behind the decorative panels.. These side panels were added to each side of the centre panel according to the instructions for the die set.

Back of Card

I die cut two decorative panels out of gold cardstock making sure they matched and threaded cream organza ribbon through the centre of the dies and then added both panels on the back of the card.

Front of Card

I added a gold and cream pattern pearl paper to both front panels. I die cut two decorative panels out of gold cardstock and threaded cream organza ribbon through the centres of the panels before adding a plain cream backing to the panels. These panels were added to both side panels.

I die cut the flourishes from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebuds out of the cream cardstock and added one to the top left and one to the bottom right of the side panels. I die cut, coloured and assembled the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month February 2020 – Elegant Reveal Shutter Card Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies. These flowers were added over the flourishes as shown. I added small green leaves around the flowers and small light green leaf flourishes from the Amazing Paper Grace Adoring Fleurette Etched Dies around the flowers.

To finish the card I added small pearls to the centres of the flowers and closed the card with the organza ribbon.

Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Concertina Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

Many years ago when I started paper crafting I remember making these beautiful screen cards by folding card stock and using punches to create the legs and decorate the tops. Becca Feeken has taken this concept to the next level with the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2019 – Graceful Concertina. Making delicate and intricate concertina cards is now so quick and easy and it took me longer to decide on the decorations of the card. This card reminded me of Victorian style screens that could be found in the boudoir in a stately house, and I selected the Mintay Peony Garden papers and ephemera to further emphasize the vintage feel.

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

My Project

I have made the concertina base card using the instructions from Becca Feeken here, however, I did not use the gold accents and instead keeping to a very simple design with cream cardstock. I have decorated the card with papers from Mintay Peony Garden collection and added extra die cuts to create my scenes. I kept the centre panel plain to add the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Card Builder Dies on the front and to have a space for the greeting on the back.

To finish I added some pearls to the decorative panels.
