Amazing Paper Grace Sending a Hug

For my card today I have been inspired by a card by Becca Feeken from Amazing Paper Grace layering the Braided Grace Square dies to create a stunning and elegant card. I have layered the Braided Grace dies in a similar fashion and then added the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classic Square dies to create new layers and dimension. I then added some pretty handcrafted flowers and some gold pearls for a card that would be suitable for many occasions. I will look to do a video on how I have made these flowers at some stage. 

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

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 6″ x 6″ base card and layered it with gold cardstock and some very pretty gold and ivory floral paper. I then added a large Fluted Classic Square die in gold and layered it with some more of the pretty paper on the top to create a base for the decorative dies.

I die cut four decorative squares from the Braided Square Dies – two from ivory cardstock and two from gold cardstock. I adhered the ivory dies behind the gold dies and layered them on top of the Fluted Square dies – the first as a diamond and the second as a square to create eight points.

I then die cut the smallest square from the Fluted Classic Square dies out of gold cardstock and then added a small square of the patterned paper. This was then added to the centre of the Braided Square dies with foam tape in a diamond shape. To finish the card front base I die cut two small braided motifs from gold cardstock, stacked them together and added it to the top of the small square.

I stamped the sentiment from the Just a Note Sentiments Stamp set in clear embossing ink on vellum and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment out using the coordinating die in the same stamp set and adhered it across the centre of the diagonal square with some glue on each end.

I die cut the leaves from the Petite Floral Bouquet Dies and the Cinch and Go Four Flowers Die out of green cardstock. I added the lighter green leaves from the Cinch and Go Four Flowers Die around the sentiment and centre square.

I die cut the flowers from the Grand Cinch and Go Flowers, Cinch and Go Four Flowers Die and Cinch and Go V Flower die sets from soft flower shaping paper. I coloured the petals with a combination of pink and yellow inks (listed below) and shaped and assembled them. I have used the Grand Cinch and Go Flower Dies with the Cinch and Go V Flower Dies for the larger flowers. I inserted yellow wire pollens through the centres of the small flowers. I added the three large flowers around the centre square and sentiment and added the larger darker leaves around them. I trimmed the wires to the small flowers and added them as fillers around the larger flowers. 

To complete the card I added gold pearls to the centres of the large flowers and to the end of the vellum sentiment banner to hide the glue.

I follow WPlus9 Designs on YouTube and I just love how Dawn colours her flowers from Honey Bee Stamps and this card has been inspired by a couple of her cards made using the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Peony and Wildflowers. I don’t have a lot of Honey Bee Stamps cover dies and the flowers I used were rather too big for a small card so I dug out an old Spellbinders die that I really love called Majestic Labels Twenty-Five to create a very elegant background to my pretty flowers. I really like the stamp sentiment as it can be used on its own or could have a specific sentiment added to them such as a ‘happy birthday’ to personalise it.

My Project.

For my card I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of light blue cardstock 5″ x 7″ and adhered it to the front of the card. I cut a piece of Snowdrift cardstock 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and adhered it to the front of the card.

I cut another piece of Snowdrift cardstock 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and die cut the frame and inner using the outer frame and next size frame dies. I adhered the outer frame to the white cardstock using foam strips and then added the inner die inside the frame. I die cut the label out of Snowdrift cardstock and added it over the centre of the frame. I stamped the sentiment from Beccy’s Place Magnolia stamp set in Tuxedo Black ink to the bottom right of the label as shown.

I die cut the light green leaves using the leaf die from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery Honey Cuts and adhered it to create a base for the flowers to the top left of the frame.

I then die cut the leaves and stems from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Wildflowers Honey Cuts and added some green ink to create more dimension to the stem and leaves. I used Altenew Shadow Creek ink on the green (Rainforest cardstock) stems from the blue bell flowers and Pink Fresh Studio ink Grassy Knoll and Key Lime inks on the green (Sprout cardstock) leaves for the light blue flowers. I then die cut the flowers using white cardstock and coloured the blue bell flowers with Altenew Crystal Violet and Alpine Aster before adding them to the stem. I adhered this flower stem over the base leaves to the left of the frame.

I die cut the leaves leaves and stems only for the light blue and yellow flowers. I added some Pink Fresh Studio Key Lime ink to the leaves and then added one stem to the base flowers. The light blue flowers were coloured using Pink Fresh Studio Lemon Whip, Crystal Violet, Maple Yellow and Doe inks and then assembled them before added a flower to the stem already on the card with foam squares for dimension. I added a single flower to the left of the foliage and then trimmed the leaves to fit around the flower.

I die cut the peony and bud from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Peony Honey Cuts and coloured the pieces using Pink Fresh Studio inks – Ballet Slippers, Bubblegum, Sparkling Rose and Wisteria. Once the colouring was complete I assembled the peony and bud using foam squares for some dimension. I die cut the leaves out of Sprout cardstock and added some shading to create shape to the leaves. These leaves were adhered to the base of the frame with some foam tape on a couple of leaves. I added the peony and bud over these leaves.

To complete the floral arrangement I trimmed another leaf from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery Honey Cuts and added them around the peony and leaves.

I added clear Wink of Stella for all the flowers for some subtle glimmer and shine.

To finish I added some light blue gems around the sentiment and flowers as shown.

Amazing Paper Grace Pearls and Lace with Love

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

I have another soft and romantic card full of pearls and lace to share with you today featuring the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace March 2022 Die of the Month – Bella Ovalette. I have been going through my stash of papers and dies and found this absolutely beautiful pearl embossed paper that my daughter had bought for me from Sydney many years ago. It is such a soft and pretty silver/blue colour and was perfect as the background to the stunning dies. Everything is included in this Bella Ovalette die set including the flowers and leaves and all I needed to add extra was the sentiment from Beccy’s Place. Lots of different layers on top of the embossed paper makes this card so ‘amazing’ in real life.

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″ card out of white cardstock. I trimmed the blue/silver paper to 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″ and added it to the front of the card.

I die cut the one decorative base out of white cardstock using the large decorative frame and then die cut two decorative frames using the decorative frame and the inner rectangle frame from white cardstock. These were stacked together and then added to the card front. I then die cut 4 decorative rectangles using the plain rectangle die, the middle decorative die and the inner plain die out of white cardstock. I stacked these together and added them inside the larger decorative frame.

I die cut two inner decorative accents using the small accent die and the circle die and adhered them together.

Using the decorative accent as a guide for placement I stamped the sentiment from Beccy’s Place on one of the discarded inner panels from the rectangle dies using Tuxedo Black ink. This stamped inner panel was then added to the inside of the rectangle frames.

I die cut the flowers out of soft flower shaping paper and coloured one set with light blue ink and the other set with light yellow inks. After spritzing the petals with water I shaped them using a small and medium ball stylus on foam mats. Once dry these were arranged on the bottom right and the top left of the rectangle frame as shown.

I die cut the leaves from the light green cardstock and added them around the flowers as shown.

To finish I added pearls to the flower centres and on the die cuts.

I have another card featuring Honey Bee Stamps products and this time I have used the Spring Greenery and Birds dies. These are just fabulous and so easy to make cards with.

My project.

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ top folding base card. I then die cut a piece of light blue cardstock 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and adhere it to the front of the card. I have then cut a piece of white cardstock 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and die cut it using the Honey Bee Stamps Honey Bee Stamps – Delicate Daisy A2 Cover Plate Base – Honey Cuts. I sponged around the edges with Sky Blue ink and then adhere it to the front of the card. I die cut two dies using the Honey Bee Stamps – Delicate Daisy A2 Cover Plate Top – Honey Cuts, stacked them together and adhered it to the front of the card.

I have die cut the bird using blue, red, black, grey and cream cardstock. I have sponged blue ink on the winds and body of the bird before assembling it and adhering it to the top right of the card.

I have die cut a range of leaves from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery and adhered them on the bottom left of the card. I die cut the flowers out of blue and purple cardstock and sponged the edges with Lavender Fields ink before assembling them and adding them over the leaves.

To finish I have stamped the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Perfect Sentiments stamp set in Jet Black ink on white cardstock. I have die cut this with the coordinating die and also die cut another plain die. These were adhered together with the stamped image on top and adhere to the bottom right of the card.

Have a Wonderful Day with Roses

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

I love love love roses and when I saw the new Crafters Companion Vintage Rose 3D Embossing Folder – Timeless Rose I had to get it and it is just gorgeous. I have coloured the image with Copic Markers and then added a stunning frame to showcase the beautiful roses. Of course I had to add some cute butterflies made from Memory Box dies that I have had for many years. I really love this sentiment as it is so versatile and can be used for so many different occasions.

My Project

I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card base out of white cardstock. I then cut a piece of X-Press It paper 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and embossed it using the Timeless Rose embossing folder. I coloured the roses and background with Copic markers and adhered it to the card front.

I cut a piece of white cardstock 5″ x 7″ and die cut the frame using the Nos. 3 and 4 dies from the Heartfelt Creations Fancy Classic Oval Dies. I wanted to keep the decorative frame see through so I cut a piece of acetate 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and adhered it behind the whole frame. I then added the decorative frame to the acetate inside the outer frame and cut the inner oval out using scissors (I found it much easier doing it that way). To complete the decorative frame I have die cut the outer decorative frame from gold cardstock and added it to the frame as shown. The frame was then added to the front of the card with foam strips.

I heat embossed the sentiment from the Heartfelt Creations Heartfelt Sentiments on black cardstock using gold embossing powder. I then die cut the sentiment out using a die from the Altenew Featured Sentiments Die Set and added it to the front of the roses with foam strips.

I die cut the butterflies out using Lawn Fawn Pearlescent Paper and Heartfelt Creations Luxe Gold Cardstock. These were assembled and added to the card front.

To finish I have added gold pearls around the frame.

Just a Little Note from Honey Bee Stamps

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have been going through my considerable craft stash and found this Stitched Lattice Frames die from Creative Expressions. I do love the gorgeous stitched trellis background and thought it would be great to have this as a background for some pretty dogwoods and a sweet little birdie from Honey Bee Stamps. My inspiration again has come from Dawn at Wplus 9 Designs.

My project

I have created a side opening base card of 5″ x 6 1/8″. I die cut a piece of blue cardstock using the second smallest die from the Stitched Lattice Frames die and adhered it to the front of the card. I die cut two lattice frames using the lattice and smallest frame dies – one from blue and one from white cardstock. These were adhered together and adhered to the front of the blue card front. I die cut two white frames using the two smallest frame dies from the Stitched Lattice Frames dies and adhered the together and added it to the front of the card using foam strips.

I stamped the sentiment from the Beccy’s Place Magnolias stamp in Jet Black ink on white cardstock and die cut it out using the smaller Stitched Scallop circles die from Pink Fresh Studio. I die cut another two circles and adhered three outside circle frames and two inner circle frames together and added them to the front of the card. I finished by adding the stamped image to the centre of the frame.

I die cut the dogwood branches out of white cardstock and coloured the branches with brown copic markers before adding all the flowers to the branches. I added one branch coming from the top right and one branch coming from the bottom left triming the ends of the branches.

I die cut the birdie out of grey, black, white and brown cardstocks and assembled them according to the instructions on the Honey Bee Stamps website. I added the bird to the left of the circle frame with foam squares. I added some more spare flowers and leaves to the base of the bird and the branches.

To finish I have added some blue iridescent gems around the sentiment.

Celebrating Your Special Day with Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Rose

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations5 Comments

Kia ora koutou

I really am getting a little obsessed with the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers dies. Today I have the Lovely Layers Rose to share with you. I have used the same shading technique I used for my peony and it came out lovely. Roses are my favourite flowers and I especially love the Double Delight Rose which is a beautiful full rose with yellow centres and dark pink edges and the most amazing scent. I have tried to replicate this rose with the colours I have used. And every rose deserves an elegant frame and for my card I have used one of my favourite frames from Heartfelt Creations – Fancy Classic Oval Frame. I have gone with my favourite style with a white on white background which allows the pretty rose to pop out and be the hero of the card.

My Project

I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card base out of white cardstock. I then cut a piece of white cardstock 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and embossed it using the Spellbinders Tufted 3D Embossing Folder and adhered it to the front of the card. I die cut two frames out of white cardstock using the dies from the Heartfelt Creations – Fancy Classic Oval Frame. These were stacked together and added to the front of the card with foam strips. I then added a plain oval from the die to the centre of the frame.

I die cut all the flowers and leaves from white cardstock and coloured them with pink, yellow and green inks (listed below the photos). The rose, bud and leaves were assembled according to the instructions from the Honey Bee Stamps website using some foam tape for more dimension. I die cut a plain stem and leaves out of green cardstock and adhered the coloured stem and leaves to it to create more strength for the leaves and stem. The stem, full rose and bud were then added to the centre of the frame.

I stamped the sentiment from an old Heartfelt Creations stamp set – Heartfelt Sentiments in Jet Black ink on white cardstock and die cut this out using the long eyelet rectangle from the Heartfelt Creations Ticket and Tags die. I trimmed the edges and adhered the sentiment to the front of the card as shown.

To finish I have added some clear iridescent gems around the sentiment and the flower and added some Clear Wink of Stella to the rose, bud, stem and leaves for some subtle shine.

Amazing Paper Grace Pink Floral Elegance

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

My very pink card today has been inspired by Barbiemania that has swept around the world in the last few weeks. My favourite colour is pink and this was an easy card for me to create with lots of pink and white layers. To soften all the pink I have used the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace Radiant Navette dies to create a pretty lace background for some gorgeous yellow and blue flowers. Also, I know a lot of people struggle with flower making and do not always have flower shaping paper to make flowers. So today I have created my flowers using a light weight white cardstock and with minimal tools and my fingers and I was very pleased with the result. And of course Barbie is full of bling and sparkle and I had to add some pink iridescent jewels and some sparkle with some glitter.

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

My Project

For my card I have created a 5″ x 5 1/2″ top folding base card out of white cardstock. I have then layered pink and white cardstock with the top pink layer embossed using the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel 3D Embossing Folder from the Home Sweet Quilt collection by Becca Feeken. I have then die cut the lace background out of white cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Radiant Navette dies. I then ink blended the plain oval die using Spun Sugar, Saltwater Taffy and Kitsch Flamingo inks before adhering the decorative oval on top. These were all assembled and then added to the front of the card

I have reversed foiled the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Occasion Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and Coordinating Die using gold foil and die cut the die using the coordinating die. I then die cut three additional plain dies and stacked all together with the foiled sentiment on top. The sentiment was then added to the centre of the decorative oval.

I die cut the yellow flowers using the flower dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2021 – 3D Vignette Mason Jar out of Hammermill cardstock. I have coloured the centres with Lemon Whip and Sunshine inks and then shaped them using a large ball stylus. I finished shaping the flowers by pleating the petals with my fingers. I then assembled the flowers together with two of each size. I added pink iridescent jewels to the centres of the flowers and added the flowers to the bottom right and top left of the decorative oval as shown.

I die cut the leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2021 – 3D Vignette Mason Jar and the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Dies using two different green cardstocks. The long leaves were trimmed and added around the flowers and the smaller leaves were added around the yellow flowers.

I die cut the small blue filler dies using the die from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Dies. I have coloured these flowers using Summer Shower ink and shaped them using a small ball stylus. I added some yellow iridescent jewels to the centres and then added them around the leaves and yellow flowers.

To finish I have added some pink iridescent jewels around the flowers and on the decorative dies.

Amazing Paper Grace Flowers and Butterflies

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Today I am taking a fresh look at the Amazing Paper Grace Home Sweet Quilt collection by Becca Feeken. My card today was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest and I thought that I would challenge myself further and make a shaker card using the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Panel Dies from the Home Sweet Quilt collection. I have added some pretty coloured flowers and butterflies from the Amazing Paper Grace Seasonal Label Motif Collection by Becca Feeken.

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

My Project

I have made a 5″ x 7″ side opening card base from heavy white cardstock. I cut a piece Hammermill cardstock 5″ x 7″ and adhered it to the front of the card. I then cut a piece of white cardstock 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and die cut the hexagon panel out on the left side using the hexagon panel die from the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Panel Dies. I die cut the outline of the hexagon panels out of white cardstock and adhered it over the die cut panel. I cut a piece of acetate 5 3/4″ x 3″ and adhered it behind the die cut panel on the back. I then added foam strips around the panel and over the rest of the front panel on the back and added some iridescent heart sequins behind the die cut panel and added it to the card front to create the shaker element. I added some of the pieces left over from die cutting the hexagon panel to the left side of the panel to create a base for the leaves and flowers to lie on.

I die cut the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Dies and the Spring Label Motifs Dies out of Hammermill cardstock and coloured the pink flowers with Light and Medium Carnation inks and the blue flowers using Crystal Violet and Alpine Aster inks. I die cut the leaves and stems out of two green coloured cardstock using the leaves and stems from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Dies, the Spring Label Motifs Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Cherry Dies. I then arrange the flowers and leaves over the left side of the card using liquid glue and foam squares.

I die cut the butterflies out of vellum using the butterfly dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Dies. I coloured the vellum wings with Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade inks and assembled them with a black body. These were placed over the flowers.

Finally I die cut three ‘With Love’ sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Dies out of Hammermill cardstock and stacked them together before adhering to the bottom right of the shaker panel.
