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.

Sending a Hug with Amazing Paper Grace Rose Garden

Kia Ora Koutou

I have been enjoying going back through the Amazing Paper Grace Dies of the Month and creating with them and it is interesting to see how much I have progressed both with cardmaking and also with taking photographs since these dies came out. Here is my original post when this die set came out. Today I have made a card using the Amazing Paper Grace December 2020 Die of the Month – Rose Garden Promise. I have coloured the roses and leaves with Copic Makers and added some Wink of Stella to the coloured images to create a sparkly stained glass window effect. Of course I had to add some flowers but these could easily be omitted to be able to send easily in the mail.

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

My Project

For my card I have made a 5″ x 7″ top folding card out of heavy weight white cardstock. I cut a piece of white alcohol marker friendly cardstock 5″ x 7″. I die cut the outline die out of scrap white cardstock and used this as a stencil to colour the roses and leaves with Copic markers. I then added some clear Wink of Stella to the coloured images. I die cut two outline dies out of white cardstock and stacked them together before adding them over the coloured images. I then die cut another die out of gold cardstock and paper pierced the frame to highlight the coloured images.

I die cut three sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace Picture Perfect Window Scene Dies – two from white cardstock and one from gold cardstock. I stacked these together with the gold die on top, cut the sentiment in half and added it to the centre of the frame.

I die cut a flourish out of gold cardstock and adhered it to the top left of the frame. I made some small pink and yellow flowers using the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Dies and added them over the flourish. I die cut small leaves out of green cardstock using the small leaf dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Cherry Blossom dies and added them around the flowers.

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