Amazing Paper Grace Rose and Filigree Slip In Card

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.

Amazing Paper Grace Perfect Marriage

I have a wedding to go to coming up in about three weeks and I thought I would get in early and make a card for the bride and groom. (I am normally leaving everything to the last minute lol). I decided to go with a white and gold theme using the Amazing Paper Grace Clipped Nested Squares as a base for more handcrafted flowers. The sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Beautiful Inside and Out Sentiments Stamp set is just perfect for a wedding card (pun intended) and I have used Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud and Petite Floral Potpourri dies to created my flowers. I will make a box to coordinate with this card to make it extra special.

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

My Project

To make my card I have created a top folding 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I then added a 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ gold card to the front of the card. I cut a piece of white cardstock 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ and scored along all sides at 1/4″ and 3/8″ to create a frame. This was then added to the front of the gold cardstock. I then die cut two large clipped nested squares out of white cardstock and embossed them with the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel Embossing Folder. I die cut two large gold frames using the two largest dies from the clipped nested Squares dies and then adhered them over the front of the card overlapping in the middle. I then used the inside nested square from one of the larger gold frames and added it to the centre of the overlapped clipped nested square panels. I die cut a smaller clipped square out of white cardstock and after stamping the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Beautiful Inside and Out Sentiments Stamp set with Jet Black ink in the centre, I adhered it to the front of the gold nested square. I die cut four frames using the next two size down clipped nested squares – three out of white cardstock and one from gold cardstock. These were stacked together and witht the gold die on top. This was then added to the front clipped square panel framing the sentiment.

I then die cut the corner dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Callista Rectangle Shadow Box Frame Dies out of gold cardstock and added them to the corners to finish the frame.

I made the roses from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud dies which were coloured with Lemon Whip and Ballet Slippers for a soft romantic look. I then added some Cosmic Shimmer Luna Paste – Moonlight Gold to the edges to give the roses an antique shabby chic feel. The large leaves were from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go IV dies and were die cut from green cardstock. The leaves were also given some shine and glitter using the Luna Paste and were added around the roses. The small yellow and pink flowers were made using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Dies. I coloured the yellow flowers with Lemon Whip ink and the pink flowers with Raspberry Bliss ink. The lighter green leaves were also from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Dies set. These were added around the flowers and the nested square dies to create a pretty floral bouquet.

To finish my card I have made a butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters dies out of vellum and gold cardstock. The vellum was coloured with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink and worked in perfectly with the antique-look roses.

Roses for Mother’s Day

Welcome back and today I would like to share another Mother’s Day card that I have made with Heartfelt Creations Classic Roses and some Spellbinders dies.

I was inspired by Sabrina from Aspiring to Creativity for the lacy background but of course I had to add some Classic Roses.  I was really happy with how it turned out with all the texture and the combination of gold and ivory which makes the flowers and leaves to pop.
