The final countdown is on for Christmas and today I have a Christmas card made using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2020 Snip It Grid and Calendar Dies to create an advent calendar with the 25th December highlighted. I have kept to traditional Christmas colours of red and gold and some beautiful Christmas papers and allowed the dies to look like an advent calendar.

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

My Project

My base card is 6″ x 6″ and I have layered red and patterned paper on the base card. I also added some red satin ribbon across the top left and bottom right of the card.

I then added a layer of gold and red cardstock with black foam to create dimension. Following this I then layered some pattern paper with gold cardstock and added this to the top of the card with more black foam.

I die cut the calendar frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2020 Snip It Grid and Calendar Dies out of red cardstock and adhered it to the pattern paper and then matted it to gold cardstock before adding it to the front of the card leaving space above and below for the sentiments and month with more black foam.

I die cut the numbers and the word ‘December’ from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2020 Snip It Grid and Calendar Dies out of red cardstock and adhered the numbers inside the squares. I die cut another frame out of gold cardstock and snipped it to a single square which was added over the 25th square. I die cut the numbers 2 and 5 out of gold cardstock and then adhering them to the highlighted square.

To finish the calendar I added red squares to the empty squares and then some gold pearls to complete the bottom row.

I die cut the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Happy Occasion Words Dies twice – one from red cardstock and one from gold cardstock. I adhered the red words over the gold words slightly offsetting the gold sentiments for a shadow and then adhered the sentiments to the card under the calendar frame. I repeated the same procedure for the word ‘December’ which was place above the calendar frame.

I added a red ribbon bow to the top left corner and added a poinsettia and foliage made using the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Poinsettias Dies to the bow. A gold pearl to the centre of the flower finished the card.

Basket With Love Amazing Paper Grace

A few weeks back I did a 3D pop up vignette using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month January 2020 Pop Up 3D Vignette Bouquet and today I have a card showing you how to use the same dies on a card front. I also wanted to show how easy it is to mix and match old and new Amazing Paper Grace by combining the newer Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Romantic Chargeour with the older Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month January 2020 Pop Up 3D Vignette Bouquet. The two dies fitted together so well that they could have been part of the same set. For my card this time I have gone for blush pink, rose gold and creams with lots of glitter for a very sophisticated and elegant card that could be used for so many different occasions. (I wish you could see how pretty this card is and how it just sparkles – my husband was really taken with it!) Once I had all the flowers made this card came together very quickly.

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

My Project

For my project I have made a top folding 5″ x 7″ card out of white cardstock. I have layered blush pink card and rose gold pearl paper on the front of the card. To add more interest I have scored two lines on each side on the pearl rose gold paper.

I have die cut the large shadow die from the Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Romantic Chargeour out of pearl cream paper and adhered it to the front of the card. I then die cut the inner decorative dies out of the Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Romantic Chargeour in pearl ivory paper and adhered it to the over the shadow base. I added the inner plain die on top of the decorative frame. I die cut the outer decorative frame out of rose gold glitter paper and adhered it to the top of the shadow with foam strips.

I die cut the bouquet from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month January 2020 Pop Up 3D Vignette Bouquet Etched dies out of rose gold glitter card and then die cut the small basket area out of rose gold pearl paper and embossed it before adding it behind the ‘basket’. I added the ‘stems’ made from blush pink to the basket and then adhered the bouquet to the front of the card using foam strips in the centre of the frame to allow the bouquet to sit level.

I used a mix of rose gold pearl paper and rose gold glitter card to make lots of flowers and added them to the top of the basket using various levels of foam squares for more dimension.

I stamped the sentiment from Beccy’s Place Magnolia stamps in WOW embossing ink on rose gold pearl paper and heat embossed it with rose gold embossing powder. I then die cut the sentiment out using the tag die that comes with the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month January 2020 Pop Up 3D Vignette Bouquet Etched dies and adhered it to the basket as shown. I added a small heart from the same die set using the rose gold pearl paper and card and added it to the label as shown.

To finish the card I added a pink and gold silk ribbon bow to the top of the tag and added a pearl to the bow as well as on the heart, on the top of the basket and in the centre of the flowers.

Amazing Paper Grace Congrats Fanfare Elegant Rectangles

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.

Quick and Simple Birthday Card using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month February 2020 – Elegant Reveal Shutter Card Card Dies.

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

I love the versatility of the Amazing Paper Grace dies and how you can make an interactive card with one set of dies and yet make a quick and simple card with the same set. Today I have a very quick and easy card using just the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month February 2020 – Elegant Reveal Shutter Card Card Dies. This die makes the most amazing reveal shutter when you open the card up but here I have kept it simple and used some pretty papers and a lovely sentiments topped with some gorgeous flowers from the same die set. What more could you want from a single die set.

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

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I layered some gold card and pretty pearl paper for the front of the card. I then die cut the decorative small panel out of gold cardstock and the shadow panel out of cream pearl card from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month February 2020 – Elegant Reveal Shutter Card Card. I adhered the decorative panels to the cream shadows and then added them to the front of the card. I cut a piece of gold cardstock 5/8″ x 4 5/8″ and adhered it over the gap in the middle between the decorative panels.

I stamped the birthday sentiment to a piece of cream pearl cardstock with Wow Embossing ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I then die cut the sentiment out using the medium label die that comes in the Elegant Reveal Shutter Card Dies. I die cut a frame out of gold cardstock using the medium and small label dies and adhered it to the sentiment frame. This label was then added to the front of the card with foam tape.

I made a full bow out of pink and gold silk ribbon and adhered it to the base of the label slightly to the right.

I die cut the flowers out of pink and yellow cardstock and added some extra yellow ink to the centre of the yellow flowers and pink ink to the centre of the pink flowers. I assembled them with two of each colour flowers and added a gold pearl to the centres. One flower was added to the bow and the other was added to the top of the label as shown.

I die cut the leaves out of green cardstock, shaped them slightly with my hands and then added them around the flowers.

Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month December 2018 Softly Spoke’n Flip and Gatefold Mother’s Day Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Today I have a very special Mother’s Day gatefold card to share with you made using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month February 2019 – Enchantment Tall Flip and Gatefold Card Dies. What a stunning die this is and this is a companion to the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month December 2018 Softly Spoke’n Flip and Gatefold Dies in that these dies can be used to make gift baskets, boxes, gatefold cards and so much more. And I loved this colour combination of cream, rose gold and pink and felt that it was perfect for a very special elegant Mother’s Day card.

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

My Project

For my project I have die cut two side panels out of cream pearl card using only the outline dies and the small triangular inserts on both sides. The left side I also die cut the small aperture out while on the right side I did not die cut the aperture out. I added an extra 1/2″ on one side of each panel which I scored along 1/2″. I added a small strip of pink pearl card behind the small decorative triangles and then folded over each side and adhered the two sides together.

Inside Back of Card

I cut a piece of cream cardstock 5″ x 7″ and glued the 1/2″ flap of the panels to each side of this card. I cut another piece of cream cardstock 5″ x 7″ and adhered it over the base hiding the strips. For the inside of the card I have cut a piece of cream pearl card 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″ and added it to the inside back. I then cut a piece of rose pearl card 4 1/2″ x 6 1/2″ and added it to the inside back. I then added another piece of cream pearl card slightly smaller over the rose card. I die cut a rectangle out of rose gold card using the medium Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangles Dies and cut another plain rectangle out of pink pearl card which was adhered behind the decorative rectangle. I die cut a medium rectangle using the Amazing Paper Grace Picot Petite Rectangle dies and added it to the front of the panel. I cut a small rectangle from the Hemstitch Rectangles die out of cream cardstock and adhered this to the front of the pink panel. I die cut two decorative panels from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month February 2019 – Enchantment Tall Flip and Gatefold Card Dies out of the rose gold pearl card and trimmed them down to added behind the rectangle panel. These were all adhered to the inside back of the card. I die cut the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Merry Everything Words Dies out of the rose gold pearl card and adhered it to the centre of the panel.

Front of Card

For the front of the card I die cut two large decorative panels out of rose gold cardstock and two shadow dies out of pink pearl card and added these together and adhered them to both sides of the card. I die cut an extra four ‘handles’ from the base die out of rose gold card and added them to the front and back of the panels for extra strength.

I stamped the sentiment from the Heartfelt Creations Occasion Sentiments Stamp Set on pink pearl cardstock in Wow Embossing ink and embossed it with Rose Gold Embossing Powder. This was then die cut using the small rectangle die and added to the right side of the card as shown.

I made a full bow out of pink and gold silk ribbon and adhered it to the bottom left of the card front.

I die cut the flowers out from the Enchantment Tall Flip and Gatefold Card Die set out of flower shaping cardstock and coloured them with yellow and pink inks. These were then shaped and assembled using one of each size petal. I added a rose gold pearl to the centre of each flower and added a flower to the bow and three flowers to the top right side of the card.

I die cut the leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Dies out of white cardstock and blended green ink to create realistic looking leaves. These leaves were added around the flowers as shown.

To finish I made a beautiful butterfly from the Summer Label Motif Dies out of pink, cream and rose gold pearl card and added it to the top right of the card.

Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Concertina Wedding Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Today I have a gorgeous wedding card to share with you that I have created using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2019 – Graceful Concertina. This is a stunning die and is designed with tabs on one side that you can use to create concertina cards, votive holders and much more. When I looked at the die I was reminded of a wedding arch and trellis and this quickly became a wedding card with pretty flowers climbing up the sides.

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

My Project

To make my card I made a side folding 5″ x 7″ 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 base. I cut a piece of cream cardstock slightly smaller and scored down the long side ever 1/16″ using my scoreboard before adding this to the front of the card.

I die cut two outer decorative frames – one out of gold cardstock and one out of cream cardstock. After trimming of the tabs I adhered the gold frame behind the cream frame slightly offsetting the gold frame and adhered it to the front of the card. I used the gold inner and adhered it to the inside of the frame and then die cut 3 decorative inner panels out of cream cardstock. These were stacked together and added over the gold panel.

To make the floral spray I die cut the small leaf flourishes out of green cardstock from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Card Builder Dies and aded them around the frame. I die cut the small buds out of pink cardstock and sponged the ends with Lemon Whip and Peony inks before adding them to the leaf flourishes. I added the sepals made from green cardstock.

For the flowers I have used the small flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Card Builder Dies. I have used flower shaping paper and coloured them with Lemon Whip and Peony inks and after shaping them I added some Heart of Gold Prills to the centres of the flowers before adding them to the leaf flourishes.

I die cut three ‘Congrats’ sentiments out of cream cardstock and stacked them together before adding them to the top of the inner panel as shown.

To finish I added some pearls to the decorative dies and at the corners at the top of the card.

An Amazing Paper Grace Easter Basket

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Happy Easter to all those that celebrate. I have a very sweet, spring inspired Easter basket to share with you today featuring the stunning Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – December 2018 Softly Spoke’n Flip and Gatefold Card. This die has been designed by Becca Feeken to create beautiful and elegant baskets as well as stunning cards. This basket is perfect for Easter eggs and/or chocolate or even a special gift for someone special.

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

My Project

I have created the basket following the directions by Becca Feeken here using yellow cardstock as my base. However, I added some pearlescent vellum behind the decorative dies at the top of my basket to allow me to add some embellishments later. I die cut two handles out of gold cardstock for each side of the basket.

I decorated the base of the basket using the Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Slimline Borders Dies out of white and yellow pearlescent cardstock. I then added a strip to the centre of the edge dies to coordinate with the gold handle accents. I used the left over oval from the basket and added it to the front and back of the basket over the decorative edges with foam tape. I die cut the centre motifs out of white cardstock and gold cardstock and added them to the yellow oval and added a gold pearl to the centre of the motifs. To finish the trims I added pearls to the lace edges.

For the flowers I have used the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Dies and coloured them with blue ink. I added the flowers to a stem from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Daisy Dies with some leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Dies. I die cut some leaves from the same die set from gold cardstock and made a small bouquet with the flowers and leaves which was then glued to the top of the basket as shown. To finish the bouquet I added a bow made from white seam binding.

I stamped the sentiment from the Beccy’s Place Magnolia stamp set on white pearl card with Wow Embossing ink and heat embossed it with gold embossing powder. I then die cut this sentiment out using the small tag die from the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace die and added it around the bow with white satin ribbon.

To complete the basket I die cut two butterflies from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Dies out of white and yellow pearl cardstock and the body out of gold cardstock. I assembled the butterflies and added them to the basket with foam tape.

Amazing Paper Grace Pop Up 3D Vignette Typewriter

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I am really enjoying taking a stroll down memory lane with the Amazing Paper Grace Dies of the Month and I really love the Pop Up 3D Vignettes as they are just ‘amazing’ and so full of detail that they look so real. Today I have the stunning Amazing Paper Grace Pop Up 3D Vignette Typewriter which was the Die of the Month for April 2020. This die takes me back to my school days and learning to type on the old typewriters little knowing how vital touch typing was going to be in the future. For my card I have chosen to create a ‘flat’ card using pretty papers and embellishments and a beautiful background die to showcase this beautiful die set.

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

My Project

To create my card I have created a top folding 5 3/4″ x 6″ base card out of white cardstock. I then layered gold card and patterned paper from Mintay Peony Garden paper to the front of the card.

I die cut three frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Ornamental Valance dies – two from pearl pink paper and one from gold cardstock. I stacked the two pink dies together and then trimmed the gold die in half before adding it behind the pink dies offsetting slightly for a hint of gold. The frame was added to the front of the card and then I added the inner label in gold on top of the frame.

I die cut the typewriter out of gold and pearl pink cardstock and assembled it according to the instructions. Becca Feeken also has a video here on how she constructed the Amazing Paper Grace Pop Up 3D Vignette Typewriter here. For the sentiment pieces I have used some labels from the Mintay Paper Elements – Peony Garden, 27 pcs as white or cream cardstock was too stark. And I added black cardstock on the back to highlight the sentiments. I layered the sentment pieces on first and then added the typewriter base over them with foam tape for dimension. I embellished the typewriter with ephemera from Mintay Peony Garden die cuts using foam tape for dimension and stability.

To finish the card I added pearls on the keys, and on the typewriter as well as on the Ornamental Valance die and gold pearls to the front of the typewriter.

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 birthday card to share with you today. I really love using my Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month dies as they are so versatile for many occasions. My brother-in-law loves VW Beetles and owns one so I thought the Amazing Paper Grace June 22 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Road Trip looked just like a VW Beetle. What do you think? I was so thrilled at how this card turned out and it did not take me very long at all!

My Project:

I have created a shaped card using the Amazing Paper Grace Postage Edge dies in silver cardstock. I have then hot foiled a background using the Spellbinders Crossed Lines Glimmer Plate on light blue cardstock and die cut it using the stitched frame in the Amazing Paper Grace Postage Edge die set. I made a silver frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics die set to add a focus to the card. I added the car front to the card at an angle to create a sense of movement. To finish the card I decorated it with flowers from the Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms die set.
