‘Say Cheese’ Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette – Twin Lens

I have another card to share with you featuring the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette – Twin Lens Etched Dies by Becca Feeken. This die is part of the 3D Vignette Collection that was released late last year and so retro! I love these dies as they can be used in so many different ways. You can make a 3D Vignette that is interactive and will fit in a standart 5″ x 7 envelope, or you can put them on a card front. I have used blues, black and silver in this 3D Vignette and the inside pull out cards are white and can be used to put photos or special notes and sentiments to personalise this very special gift. And a big bonus with this set is that it has a beautiful flower and leaf die so I did not need any other dies to complete this card.

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

My Project:

I have created a 3D vignette following the instructions with this die set using a black base to add pale blue and blue accents to bring the camera alive. I have used silver to highlight the lens, cord holder and the knobs. The flowers have been made using a 160 Ib flower shaping paper and the leaves are from green cardstock. I have die cut the words into the pull out cards and left them blank at this stage to personalise later.

Amazing Paper Grace November 2022 Die of the Month

The Amazing Paper Grace November 2022 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Alarm Clock is so elegant and reminded me of the beautiful and ornate French Ormulu clocks that often had beautiful hand painted floral images and sometimes flowers. For my projects today I have used pearlised cardstock and a pretty floral image in the centre of the clock combined with handcrafted flowers to replicate the look of a porcelain china antique clock.

Today’s creations were created with the dies supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.

There are 21 cutting dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Alarm Clock.

My Projects Today:

Today I have a card and a 3D vignette using the Amazing Paper Grace November 2022 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Alarm Clock. I have paired the clock with Amazing Paper Grace Picot Petite Rectangles Etched Dies Picot Petite Collection from Amazing Paper Grace by Becca Feeken and the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Rectangles Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken for an elegant card. Both projects have handcrafted flower embellishments.

I have used a transfer sheet with a pretty floral spray for the centre of the clocks and have coloured the flowers and leaves to coordinated with the floral image. To complete the porcelain china look I have painted the flowers with clear gloss gel and sprinkled some ultrafine crystal glitter over for a pretty shiny and sparkly finish.

The flowers have been created using the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken, Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken, Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Flowers III and the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud.

I have die cut two layers of the clock hands to help create some dimension and allow the clock hands to stand out.

I have added a gold gem to the middle of the clock.

Amazing Paper Grace | The 3D Vignette Collection

Today I have a very sweet 3D Vignette Pet House and a card featuring the same die on a card using the 3D Vignette CollectionAmazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Pet House Etched Dies from 3D Vignette Collection by Becca Feeken. My pet houses are so pretty with flowers growing on either side of the house and a butterfly hovering over the animals with sparkly collars.

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

There are 22 dies in the 3D Vignette Pet House set.


My Projects for Today

For my 3D Vignette I have used different pink colours touched with gold for a delicate look. The flowers are from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken and the leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motifs Etched Dies from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken. The butterfly is from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken set.

For my card I have added some texture with an embossing folder to the background and added some decorative corners from the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Filigree Marquis Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken. This time I have used the dog and cat dies together for a very special card for an animal loving person. Once again I have used flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken and the leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motifs Etched Dies from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken. The butterfly is from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken set.

I have added a sparkle to the collar with a pink iridescent gem.

I have used small flowers in keeping with the size of the vignette and the soft pastel colours work well with the pink and gold background.

The butterfly has been cut out of vellum and coloured with Fossilised Amber ink.

The dog and cat are very good friends and wear matcing collars with some blue sparkle.

The pink flowers are a lovely contrast to the blue pet house.

Amazing Paper Grace January 2022 Die of the Month Blog Hop – Pop Up 3D Vignette Coffee, Tea or Me


These gorgeous dies reminded me of a having high tea at the most amazing cafe which sadly has closed now. The waiting staff were dressed up in fifties style clothing and there were beautiful lace tablecloths and old china with beautiful floral patterns on them. The food was delicious and we had a wonderful time there.

Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.

There are 21 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Coffee, Tea or Me.


For my card I have made a lace background with the Amazing Paper Grace Eyelet Lace Frame Etched die and then made a shaker element using the cup and lace dies from the Die of the Month set. I have then added some hearts and flowers to create a vase of flowers. To finish I added a small tea bag for the tea lover.

For my second project I have made a 3D vignette with the cup dies. I have used a pretty pattern paper for the cup to emulate the beautiful floral antique china cups. I have added some flowers and hearts to coordinate with the card. This would make a stunning Valentine’s Day gift for a special tea lover.

My Project Today using Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree.

I have made a 3D Vignette Christmas Tree card using a grey and silver colour combination and some hologram card for extra sparkle. For my other card I have created a base card using the Amazing Paper Grace Picot Petite Rectangles Etched Dies Picot Petite Collection from Amazing Paper Grace by Becca Feeken and the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Rectangles Etched Dies from the Elegant Twist Collection by Becca Feeken and some pretty silver foil paper to add my Christmas tree on to.

The small decoration at the top of the card are from the Amazing Paper Grace Wedded Bliss Scene Etched Dies from Make a Scene Collection by Becca Feeken. To finish I have used some iridescent gems on the Christmas tree.

A Country Cottage Card

Kia Ora Koutou

Welcome back and today I have a lovely all occasion card that is positively smothered in lilacs.  I think this collection must be my all time favourite and I can’t get enough of the soft hues and the gorgeous papers.  The flowers are so easy to make.  Here I have used a Becca Feeken die – the Grand Cabinet  die and the cottage fitted inside this die so perfectly.  I have die cut three of the dies to add dimension.  I love adding the little birds from the Woodsy Wonderland collection as well.  They add life to the card.

I hope that I have inspired you to do something different with the lilacs.

Happy Crafting
