Amazing Paper Grace Irises and Hexagons

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Today I am sharing a card that was inspired by the colours of my handcrafted irises. I have used the stunning Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Etched Dies by Becca Feeken to create a lovely decorative background for the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Etched Dies from the Home Sweet Quilt Collection by Becca Feeken. The hexagon panel fitted perfectly over the decorative background. To complete the card I have made a bouquet made using irises I created from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go IV Etched Dies – they were the perfect dies because of the three petals and irises have 6 petals. This card would be perfect for any celebratory occasion – birthday, milestone, wedding…

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

My Project Today

I have created a 5″ x 7″ card based and layered gold, pale blue and lilac cardstock to create the base to the decorative dies. I have then die cut the decorative die from the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace die out of gold cardstock making sure that I also embossed this die and placed it on the front of the card. I then made the panel from the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Panels Etched Dies using blue, purple and gold hexagons and added it to the front of the decorative die. The sentiment banner is from the Amazing Paper Grace Vintage Pierced Banners Etched Dies and I have added the sentiment die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2020 – Elegant Infinity.

I have handcrafted the irises from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go IV Etched Dies using Rajni Chawla’s Flower Shaping Paper and adhered them to the side of the panel with leaves and accents from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Tulip Etched dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month August 2022 – Peekaboo Trellis Etched Dies. To finish the floral bouquet I have added some fillers made using yellow Prills and florist wire.

The sweet butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Etched Dies completes the card.

The sentiment has been curved a little to fit the curved banner.

I have created a pretty petal pattern with the hexagon panel using a mix of the purple, blue and gold hexagons.

The leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Tulip Etched dies were perfect for the irises.

I have used a hot glue gun to add the Lemon Chiffon Prills to some florist wire to create the filler flowers.

I have made the butterfly out of vellum and gold cardstock to coordinate with the background colours. I have used Tumbled Glass and Shaded Lilac to colour the wings.

Amazing Quilty Hugs

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

I really love it when I can make two different designs using one set of die cutting. In January I created a card using the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilt Etch Dies in a gold and white combination. Using the left over pieces from that card I was able to make a totally different design using from the same colour combinations and similar flowers and butterflies. This time I have recessed the ‘quilted’ panel and added some pretty flowers and a butterfly to create a very elegant card.

You can see the other card here for a comparison.

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

My Project

I have created a base card of 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ out of white cardstock. I then cut a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller than the base card and die cut the recess out using the outline die from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilt Etch Dies. I then embossed this using the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel Embossing Folder and then adhering it to the front of the card using some foam tape. I added the quilted panel to the recess and decorated the card with flowers made using the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies and Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go IV Etched Dies and a butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection.

To complete the card I have added the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilt Etch Dies in gold to the bottom of the card.

I have coloured the vellum using Saltwater Taffy and Kitsch Flamingo inks for the butterfly before adding the gold accents.

I have stacked the sentiment dies for more depth and dimension.

I have added the embossed layer to the front of the card using foam tape to create the recess for the ‘quilted’ panel.

An Amazing Paper Grace Valentine

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia Ora Koutou

I can now share this Valentine’s Day card that I made as the recipient has now received it. I have used a wide range of Amazing Paper Grace dies to create this beautiful pink and silver card. And as I had most of the flowers already made it did not take me very long to create and I know that the giver of this card was very happy with it.

My Project

I have made a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. The embossed layer was coloured pink by adding Kitsch Flamingo ink to the Amazing Paper Grace Embossing Folder – Orange Peel and that was layered over a silver mat. I have layered a white and silver rectangle panel using dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Rectangle Elegant Twist Etched Dies. I added another layer of embossing out of white cardstock using an old Swiss Dots embossing folder.

I have die cut the heart from the Amazing Paper Grace December Die of the Month Dec 22 Sweetheart Envelope & Notecard Set in white and backed it with some beautiful pearlescent vellum and this was added to the panel on an angle. The words are from the Amazing Paper Grace Merry Everything Words Etched Dies and I have used Picked Raspberry to create the ombre effect before adding the words to the card front as shown.

To complete the card I have made flowers and leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched , Amazing Paper Grace Summer Labels Motifs Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Fall Labels Motifs Etched Dies and the butterflies are from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters Etched Dies.

I have used a mix of dimensional flowers and flat flowers to create depth and dimension.

The butterflies have been made using vellum that has been coloured using Picked Raspberry ink before adding the silver accents.

Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Retro TV

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I have another bright and cheerful card to share with you today with a real groovy feel. My card today showcases the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace 3D Retro TV Vignette Etched Dies by Becca Feeken from the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken. I love the attention to detail with this set and it reminds me of the television in the movie Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory (the original movie with Gene Wilder) where the little boy gets pulled into the television. This set is just so the 60’s and because I already had the flowers made this card came together very quickly which is always a bonus!

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

My Project:

My card base is 4 14″ x 5 1/2″ and have used the gorgeous Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Marquis Etched Dies by Becca Feeken as a background for the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Retro TV Vignette Etched Dies by Becca Feeken to sit on top. I have created a shaker element for the screen to add interest to the retro television. To finish the card I have added some handcrafted flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go IV Flower Etched Dies and the leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies by Becca Feeken. The sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Retro TV Vignette Etched Dies by Becca Feeken.

Amazing Paper Grace Quilty Hugs and Daisies

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

We are in ‘summer time’ here in New Zealand but since the start of the new year we have had a lot of rain and little sunshine so I thought I would cheer myself up with a bright and summery card using the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace Quilted Stained Glass Window Etched Dies from Home Sweet Quilt Collection by Becca Feeken from the The Home Sweet Quilt Collection. I used a cheerful yellow and white combination and decorated my card with handcrafted daisies and a sweet butterfly. This card certainly brightened my craft room!

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

My Project:

For my project today I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base from Snowdrift cardstock. I have embossed a piece of 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ Chamomile cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel Quilt Embossing Folder and layered it on top of the card. I have created a semi-circle using the quilt dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Quilted Stained Glass Window Etched Dies and inlaid with Beeswax and Chamomile to achieve a starburst effect. I have placed this semicircle on my card front and added a lace band to the left using the Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Slimline Borders Etched Dies for my flowers to lie on.

To complete my card I have handcrafted daisies from the Amazing Paper Grace Daisy Delight Garden Shutters A2 Card Base Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V flowers and added them to the band on the left of the semi-circle. I added leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – August 2022 Peekaboo Trellis from Rainforest and Peridot cardstock.

No floral card is complete without a butterfly and I have added a sweet butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies.

Finally I have added the sentiment dies from the mazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilts Etched Dies in gold.

There is a tutorial in the Amazing Paper Grace – Encouragement Community on how I have made these flowers here. If you are not a member feel free to ask to join and don’t forget to answer the questions.

I have used two different colours of yellow to represent the sun.

I have die cut two sentiments – one from Snowdrift and one from gold cardstock and stacked them together with the gold on top before adding them to the card front.

I have used the same colours from the card in the butterfly to help with tying the whole card together.

The green foliage helps the daisies really pop on the side of the card.

I have used two different sets of daisy flower dies to create depth and dimension for my florals.

Amazing Paper Grace Quilty Friends

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

I am learning so much about quilting patterns using the Amazing Paper Grace The Home Sweet Quilt Collection – I never realised that there were so many different combinations you can get with one pattern! I have been late to the ink blending party and I have admired all those that ink blend with ease. Today I have a pretty pink and feminine card to share with you featuring the gorgeous Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Eight Point Star Etched Dies from Home Sweet Quilt Collection by Becca Feeken. I have ink blended the background for a soft and romantic feel to the card and allow the quilted pattern to shine. Handcrafted flowers, a sweet butterfly and white satin bows add a shabby chic finish.

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

My Project

For my card I have created a base card of 5 3/4″ x 5 3/4″. I have added some Picked Raspberry ink to one side of the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel Quilt Embossing Folder before embossing the white cardstock. This gave me a soft pink embossed card to add over a silver layer on the card front. I have added white and silver layers over the embossed card using the largest dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Postage Edge Squares Etched dies. I have ink blended the backgrounds of the Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Eight Point Star Etched Dies before adding the outline and decorative dies in white on top. I decided to keep the decorative elements to a minimum and just create a star. I have used inked vellum for the centre motifs and then added the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Quilty Hugs Sentiments Clear Stamp which has been die cut using the sentiment strip die from the Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Eight Point Star Etched Dies. To finish I have added a mix of dimensional and flat flowers using the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motifs Etched Dies,mazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motifs Etched Dies from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken, Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Flowers V Etched Dies. The butterfly has been made from vellum and is from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Etched Dies. I finished the card with pearls around the edge of the quilted motif.

I put all the base pieces into the pattern and taped them together so I could ink blend the pieces from the centre out. This way I was able to get an even blend.

I inked the centre background motif on vellum with picked Raspberry. I then layered the vellum onto white cardstock before adding to the centre of the card as shown.

I die cut 4 layers of the sentiment die and stacked them together for more dimension.

Designers Tip:

I would place the quilt bases on the card front first before adding the outline and decorative inlay dies to the front. I ended up adding a row of pearls to kept the outer edge straight.

Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Home Quilt Congrats Mini Slimline Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Happy New Year!

The new Amazing Paper Grace The Home Sweet Quilt Collection is just stunning with so many different combinations to make gorgeous cards. Quilting is one of the few crafts I never really got into as I struggled with sewing large volumes of fabric. But with the Amazing Paper Grace The Home Sweet Quilt Collection it is so easy to create paper quilts with a lot less stress and mess!! Today I am using the French Braid dies from the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Panels Etched Dies to create a mini-slimline card.

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

My Project

For my card today I have used the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Panels Etched Diesto create a mini-slimline card. I have created a background of white, blue and silver layers to make the base for the paper ‘quilt’. I die cut three ‘quilts’ using the decorative die and the outline die – two from blue cardstock and one from silver cardstock. I then die cut the white background using the outer die from the set to which I added the silver outline die. I inlaid blue pieces to the outside of the quilt and silver squares down the centre of the ‘quilt’. I then added the blue outline die to the ‘quilt’ but upside down to create a plaid pattern.

To decorate the ‘quilt’ I have made some daisies using the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V flower dies. The filler flowers have been made using the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies and the leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Lilies Etched Dies.

To complete the card I have used the ‘Congrats’ die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2020 Elegant Infinity and the butterfly is from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies.

I have added some glitter to the flowers using clear gloss gel medium and a paintbrush for some extra sparkle.

The sentiment has been die cut twice – one from silver cardstock and one from blue cardstock. These have been stacked together with the silver on top.

An Amazing Paper Grace Noel Christmas Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Merry Christmas – or Meri Kerihimete as spoken here in New Zealand

I have the last of my Christmas cards using the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace The Christmas Flourishes Collection. I love this gorgeous frame and embellishments from the Amazing Paper Grace Noel Mini Slimline Frame Etched Dies from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken. And once again I have used a non-traditional colour scheme of silver and blue with some very pretty pale blue poinsettias and some stunning holly leaves in green.

Today’s creations were made with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.



My Project for Today

For my card I have created a 5″ x 7″ base and used dark blue and silver layers with a pale blue embossed layer using the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish 2D Embossing Folder on the top. I have added some extra decoration using a frame from the Spellbinders Layering Mini-Slimline dies and a decorative flourish from the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Filigree Marquis Etched Dies. I have backed the pinhole frame with silver cardstock and added it to a plain pale blue background with foam tape aand then was added over the background decorative elements. The sentiment and flourish has been added to the centre of the frame and to finish I have added some holly made using dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Noel Mini Slimline Frame Etched Dies around the flowers. This card was so quick and easy to put together.

I have die cut two sentiments and flourishes – one in silver and one in dark blue. I have adhered them together slightly offsetting the silver over the blue for the sentiment to pop in the centre of the frame.

I have added some glitter to the flowers using clear gloss gel medium on a paintbrush to go along with the iridescent gems for some Christmas sparkle.

The flower centres of the Amazing Paper Grace Noel Mini Slimline Frame Etched Dies were perfect to go with the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Poinsettia Etched Dies Etched Dies. The soft yellow was perfect with the pale blue poinsettias.

Amazing Paper Grace December 2022 Die of the Month

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations4 Comments

I am so excited for the release of the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace December Die of the Month – Sweetheart Envelope and Notecard Set. This set is so beautiful and can be used in so many ways. For my projects I have made a small 4/14″ x 5 1/2″ card and some sweet envelopes to hold some gift cards. I was inspired by one of the other Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team members using the heart die to create a butterfly and here I have laid the ‘wings’ over layered dies from the small decorative rectangle dies from the Sweetheart Envelope and Notecard Set, Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Rectangles Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken and the Amazing Paper Grace Postage Edge Rectangles from the Postage Edge Shapes Collection by Becca Feeken. The pretty flowers from the Sweetheart Envelope and Notecard Set finish the body of the ‘butterfly’. The small envelopes were very quick and easy to create and coordinate with the card very well.

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

There are 14 cutting dies included in the Sweetheart Envelope and Notecard Set.

The decorative rectangle dies were the perfect size to fit with the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Rectangles Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken and the Amazing Paper Grace Postage Edge Rectangles from the Postage Edge Shapes Collection by Becca Feeken.

I have backed the lacy dies with pearlescent vellum to create a softer look.

I have used very small velcro dots to close the envelopes.

Amazing Paper Grace Square Postage Squares – A Pink Christmas

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I have seen many pink Christmas cards on Instagram this year and was inspired to create this gorgeous pink Christmas card using the new Amazing Paper Grace Postage Edge Squares from the Postage Edge Shapes Collection by Becca Feeken decorated with the very sweet little birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Etched Dies from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken.

Today’s creations were made with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

I then cut a frame using the 2nd largest postage edge die and straight edge die from silver cardstock and adhered to the front of the embossed layer as shown.

I have decorated the card with the birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Etched Dies from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken in pink tones.
