Today’s card features some layering with the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Sampler and Candlewick Classics collection by Becca Feeken. These collections are among my all time favourite collections because they work so well together and create beautiful designs and textures that are timeless and classic. I have added some soft pink handmade flowers and very pale lemon flowers on green leaves to continue the romantic feel to this card. Who wouldn’t want to receive this card!

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

My Project

The base card is a side folding 5″ x 7″ card made from Alabaster cardstock. To create the base for the layered dies I have matted gold and Alabaster card to the front of the card and for extra interest I have scored a border using my scoreboard on the top Alabaster layer. I then matted gold cardstock with some ivory embossed paper from my stash and added it to the card front.

I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Rectangle and Square Candlewick Classics dies to create frames out of the Alabaster cardstock. I have added a medium rectangle frame on the card front and added the plain centre. I then added a square frame to the front of the rectangle frame. but turning it around 90 degrees with foam tape. I die cut two of the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Canopy Etched Dies – one from gold cardstock and one from Alabaster card. I stacked these together with the gold frame on top and then wrapped the Canopy frame around a small rectangle frame to the top of the previous frames with foam tape. To finish the layering I have added the plain insert for placing the sentiment on the card.

I die cut four ‘With Love’ sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Card Builder Etched Dies – three from Alabaster cardstock and one from gold cardstock. These were stacked together with the gold sentiment on top and then added to the middle of the layered frames.

I have die cut the leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Flowers III Etched Dies and Cinch and Go Five Etched Dies out of two shades of green cardstock. I added some Mowed Lawn inks to the leaves and then added them around the top left of the frame.

The flowers have been made using the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Five Etched Dies and Grand Cinch And Go Flowers Etched Dies using some soft flower shaping paper. For a harmonious colour palatte I have coloured the big flowers with pinks and light green/yellow inks and then used the same light green/yellow ink on the smaller flowers. I have added flowers over the leaves and added Crystal Stickles to the larger flowers and Frosted Lace for the smaller flowers and pearls to the centre of the small flowers.

To finish the card I have added pearls to the Candlewick Canopy die, the square and rectangle dies and some pearl trim from my stash around the top matted layer and a single pearl flower inside the frame by the sentiment.

Amazing Paper Grace Best Wishes

I have another card to share with you that has been inspired by The Gilded Age television programme. This time I have used the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace Tiffany Lavaliere Etched Dies from the Vintage Treasures Collection by Becca Feeken. For this card I have added a handmade rose and small filler flowers to complement the gorgeous dies that I have used. I played on the blue and gold theme again and also added some white shadows for a bigger contrast. To finish the card I have added a foiled sentiment that is so versatile and can be used for many different occasions.

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

My Project

My base card is a top folding 5 1/2 x 5 1/2″ white card and I have added gold card to the front. I then added a matted white and light teal card to this using fun foam to keep the weight down. To add more interest to the light teal card I have added an embossed border using my scoring board.

I die cut the outer frame, inner frame and decorative middle out of gold cardstock. I added the outer gold frame out to the card front with foam squares. I die cut the white layer using the middle decorative dies and then added the gold decorative frame on top and added this inside the frame. I die cut two more inner frames out of white cardstock before stacking these together and then adding the previous gold frame to the top and added it to the centre of the frame. I die cut one white shadow inner motif and two decorative motifs out of gold cardstock. I added one gold motif to the white shadow die with foam squares and then rotated the other gold motif 90 degrees before adding it to the other motif with foam squares before adding to the base card as shown.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Glorious Glimmer Elegant Ovals Foil Plate using Aura foil on white cardstock. I die cut this out using the banner die from the Amazing Paper Grace Just a Note Sentiments Tag Clear Stamp Die Set and added this across the centre of the decorative dies using some foam squares for more shape.

The leaves have been cut out of different green cardstocks using the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud, Petite Floral Potpourri and the Die of the Month December 2022 Sweetheart Envelope and Notecard Set Etched Dies. I added the light green foliage around the left side of the frame and then I have inked the larger green leaves with Mowed Lawn ink and shaped them before adding them over the light green foliage.

The rose has been made using the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies. I have used flower shaping paper and dipped this in some water with pink re-inker ink to colour the petals pink. Ater shaping the rose and assembling it I added some TCW Stardust Butter – Opalescent for a porcelain look at dusted it with some Micro Sparkling Dust for some shimmer and this has been added to the left side over the sentiment banner to anchor it.

The small flowers are from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies. I have kept the larger flowers white and added some blue ink to the smaller flowers that matched the light teal cardstock. The white flowers have had some Frosted Lace Stickles applied and the blue flowers have had Crystal Stickles applied and then the flowers have been added over the leaves and foliage. To finish the flowers I have added some pearls to the centre.

To complete the card I die cut the small motif from the Amazing Paper Grace Nobel Chatelaine Etched Dies out of gold cardstock, trimmed then and added them to the four corners of the card. Finally I added some pearls to the centres of these corners.

Amazing Paper Grace Gift Basket

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Today I am continuing with the wedding theme and possibly taking myself to Valentine’s Day. I have a gorgeous gift basket to share with you made using the Amazing Paper Grace Favorably Simple Gift Box Etched Dies from one of Becca Feeken’s earliest collections the Wedding Collection. This die set was incredibly easy to put together (you can see a video on how to make this box here) and it took me longer to decorate the box. This gift box would be great to put the wedding rings in for a wedding ceremony, or put an engagement ring for a proposal or even special jewellery or chocolates for Valentine’s Day.

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

My Project

I die cut the front and back out of Barely Peach card and the bases of the box out of gold card. I have used some very pretty pearlised embossed paper from my stash to decorate the front and back of the box. I then used the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Edged Corners in gold highlights at the top and bottom of the box.using the Barely Peach card for some contrast on the bottom of the gift box. Scroll down to see the back of the box for what I have done both front and back of the box.

The pretty flowers and leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Edged Corners and made using some soft flower shaping paper while the leaves have been die cut out of green cardstock. I have set the flowers on a gorgeous flourish from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies die cut out of gold and Barely Peach card..

To finish the gift box I have added two double sided hearts made from the Amazing Paper Grace Primrose Heart Facade dies decorated with some crystals and a silk ribbon bow at the top of the flourish and flowers.

Save the Date Wedding Invitation Using Amazing Paper Grace Dies

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

We are in the middle of the summer wedding season here in New Zealand and today I have a special card that is also a Save the Date invitation that can be kept as a special memento for the wedding album. Most wedding planning etc is done online and I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Classic Elegance Tall Pocket to create a pocket for an Save the Date invitation using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2020 Snip it grid and Calendar Creator with the dates on the back. I have used sweet blush and pink tones for the card front and the invitation. The flowers are from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2020 Snip it grid and Calendar Creator and the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms. I absolutely love the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Sampler Collection dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Edged Corners Etched Dies was perfect for the top of the invitation.

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

My Project

My card base is 5″ x 7″ and I have matted gold and Barely Peach card on the card front. I then cut another piece of Barely Peach card slightly smaller and embossed it with the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel 3D Embossing Folder. I then ink blended the edges with Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar oxide inks. I die cut the pocket from the Classic Elegance Tall Pocket Etched Dies out of Barely Peach card. I also die cut a pocket out of acetate and trimmed it to fit behind the pocket before adding this to the card front. The acetate backing allowed me to add the flowers to the pocket.

To make the invitation I cut a piece of Barely Peach card 4″ x 5″ and using the bottom edge die from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Edged Corners Etched Dies die cut the edge from one short end. then cut another peice of gold cardstock 3″ x 4″ and matted it with a smaller blush card which had two lines scored around each end and has been ink blended with Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar inks. This was then placed on the front of the invitation. I die cut the ‘Save the Date’ words from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2020 Snip it grid and Calendar Creator Etched Dies out of gold cardstock and two layers of blush card. These were stacked together on added to the front of the envelope.

For the back of the envelope I repeated the same process with the matted layers and then added the grid and the Date and the numbers from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2020 Snip it grid and Calendar Creator Etched Dies.

I die cut two flourishes from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Edged Corners Edged Corner Dies and added them to the base of the matted layers and also die cut two edges from the same die set out of gold cardstock and added them to the top front and back of the invitation.

I have die cut the flowers using the flower dies from the Die of the Month June 2020 Snip it grid and Calendar Creator Etched Dies out of Barely Peach Cardstock. I added some Kitsch Flamingo ink to the centre of the flowers, shaped the petals with my fingers and then assembled the flowers with two petals. I die cut the large and medium sized stamens using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies out of flower shaping paper. I coloured the stamens with Lemon Whip ink and then shaped them with a ball stylus. I adhered two of each sized together making sure they overlapped and then added the larger and smaller stamens to the centre of the flower. I then added a pink iridescent jewel to the centre of the flower. I added the flowers to the bottom left of the pocket and also to the decorative edge and the top of the pull out invitation.

I die cut the leaves out of green cardstock using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2020 Snip it grid and Calendar Creator Etched Die and the leaf dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Edged Corners Edged Corner Dies. I coloured the edges with Mowed Lawn ink, shaped them with my fingers and spritzed the with some Glimmer Mist before adding them around the flowers.

I die cut the small flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies out of flower shaping paper. I coloured them with Lemon Whip ink and spritzed them with water before shaping them. Once they were dry I added them around the larger flowers and leaves and added a yellow iridescent gem to the centre of the flowers.

A Kiwi Amazing Paper Grace Christmas

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I live in New Zealand and we have warm Christmases here and snowy Christmas scenes are not relevant, so I have found some fabulous free A1 generated kiwi Christmas images from a Facebook group to create some kiwi Christmas cards. I love this sweet kiwi on the beach surrounded by our New Zealand Christmas trees – the pohutakawa, and created a quick and simple Christmas card using layering of coloured cardstock and a lovely frame die. The Amazing Paper Grace Richelieu Square Etched dies was perfect to frame the image and I added some gorgeous red poinsettia and green foliage with a simple Merry Christmas die to complete the card.

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

My Project

My card base is a top folding 6″ x 6″ white base card. I have layered white and red cardstocks to create the background with the top matted red and white layer raised with fun foam.

I die cut the raised frame using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Richelieu Square Etched diesusing white and red cardstocks and then added the image to the centre of the frame. To get the raised effect of the frame I die cut three frames out of white cardstock and adhered it over the red base.

I added glossy accents to the light bulbs and glitter to the sea, flowers and background.

I die cut the postage image using the die from the Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Postman Etched Dies out of dark grey pearl cardstock and adhered it over the top left corner to provide a base for the flowers.

The poinsettias and foliage are from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month November 2020 Pop up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh Etched Dies and have been die cut out of red and green cardstocks. To add a bit of shimmer to the flowers I have used Lisa Horton Cloud 9 Interference ink Crimson Cheer to the edges of the petals and Lisa Horton Cloud 9 Interference ink Festive Fir to the foliage and green petals before assembling them with a gold pearl in the centres of the flowers.

To complete the card I added the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Make a Scene Silent Night Etched Dies set. To get the dimension for the sentiment I die cut three sentiments out and stacked them together before adding it to the base of the image as shown.

Merry Christmas Amazing Paper Grace

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

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.

Amazing Paper Grace Away in the Manger

I really love the versatility of the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignettes and I also love the beautiful vignette scenes as well where you can layer a 3D scene very quickly, including the sentiment for any occasion. Today’s Christmas card has a nativity scene made using the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Lattice Arch Dies with the Amazing Paper Grace Nativity. Layering Set Dies in a classic and elegant white and gold combination. I have made the nativity scene the focal point of the card by using foam strips to layer the vignette in the centre of the card and making it pop from the stunning background die. I have finished the card with some white and gold poinsettias from the Amazing Paper Grace November 2020 Die of the Month Pop up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh Dies.

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

My Project

My finished card is 5″ x 5 1/2″ and the base is layered in gold and white card. I die cut a plain frame and a gold frame using the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Lattice Arch Dies and adhered them together.

I die cut two star ‘ray’ vigentte dies – one from gold card and one from white card and adhered them together with the gold slightly offset. I then die cut the nativity scene from white card and two sentiment vignettes from gold card. I adhered the two sentiment vignettes together and then layered all the vignettes together with foam strips.

I die cut a plain insert out of white card and ink blended yellow and green inks and added it behind all the vignettes.

I then added the frame to the front of the card with foam tape and then added the vignettes to the centre of the frame.

To finish I added some pearls to the star ‘rays’ and the white poinsettias and gold foliage to the top left of the card.

Amazing Paper Grace Hot Foiled Gold and White Thank You Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

Today I have a very elegant white and gold thank you card to share with you. I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Glimmer Place Card Mini Topper Hot Foil Plate as a base for layering die cuts and added some sweet flowers. I have also used a die – the Amazing Paper GraceA2 Swirl Background Etched Dies – to create the embossed finish on the background

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

My Project

For my card today I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of brushed gold cardstock 4 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ and I then cut a piece of white cardstock and embossed it using the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Swirl Background Etched Dies for some texture and added it to the front of the gold card.

I heat embossed both ends of the Amazing Paper Grace Glimmer Place Card Mini Topper Hot Foil Plate and then die cut it with the die that comes with this set. I matted this with some brushed gold cardstock and added it to the front of the card. I then die cut two edges out of brushed gold cardstock using the small topper die from the same set. I added these over the hot foiled images on the front of the card. To hide the join I cut a 1″ strip of brushed gold cardstock, embossed a line 1/8″ each side before adding a strip of hot foiled border using the hot foil plates from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Glimmer Borders and Sentiments on top and then adding to the front of the card and folding the edges of the band behind the front panel before adhering the complete panel to the card base.

I die cut three small circles using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Circle dies – one from brushed gold cardstock, one from gold glitter cardstock and one from mirror gold cardstock. I layered these together to show the brushed gold cardstock rim, the gold glitter shadow and the mirror gold elegant twist on top. This was then added to the front of the band and panel with some foam tape.

The sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Glorious Glimmer Elegant Occasions Hot Foil Plate has been hot foiled using Aura foil on Hammermill cardstock. This was die cut with the coordinating die and I also die cut two other plain dies to stack together with the foiled sentiment on top. This was then added to the centre of the circle medallion.

The flowers were die cut from white cardstock, coloured with light yellow ink and then shaped using my fingers and then added to the bottom left of the circles. I die cut green leaves using the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Lilies Etched Dies, shaped with my fingers and added around the flowers. I also added some gold glitter leaves using the die from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif Etched Dies.

To finish the card I added some Frosted Lace stickles to the flowers and gold pearls to the centre of the flowers and on the decorative dies, corners of the central panel and on the hot foiled border.

Amazing Paper Grace Rolled Flowers Elegant Birthday Cards

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

My card today is centred around the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace Flourish Frame die along with some gorgeous rolled flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Loop Roll Flowers. It is always good to try something different and I was happy with these flowers once I realised that I had to use a very light weight paper when rolling these flowers. I have also had a play with layering different die cuts for the background and I love the different textures I created. And I absolutely loved this pale blue, cream and pale green colour combination and will definitely revisit it again in the future. The hot foiled sentiment in silver really added some elegance to the card.

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

My Project

For my project I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card out of white cardstock. I then matted some light blue embossed paper with some cream cardstock and added this panel to the front of the card.

I then die cut the inner decorative dies out of cream cardstock and embossed the small detail die on each end of the inner elongated oval die. These were adhered to the centre of the card.

I then die cut a medium rectangle frame out using the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies and adhere it around the inner decorative dies on the front of the card.

I then die cut the outer frame out of cream cardstock and embossed the die for more detail. I added this to the card using foam strips.

Another rectangle frame was made this time using the small dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies and adhered horizontally over the outer frame using some foam strips to keep the frame level.

To finish the background I die cut a circular frame using the Amazing Paper Grace Tiara Rondelle Etched Dies out of cream cardstock and this was added over all the frames and dies.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Glorious Glimmer Elegant Occasions Hot Foil Plate in Prism foil on Hammermil cardstock and then die cut it with the coordinating die. I die cut another two plain dies and a silver die and stacked them together before adding the foiled sentiment on top and the silver die slightly offset to show some silver at the bottom. The sentiment was then added to the centre of the frames using foam squares in the centre to keep level.

I die cut one large loop die and three small loop dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Loop Roll Flowers out of pearl paper from my stash. I used double sided tape to adhere the edges together before rolling the dies to make flowers. I added one small flower to the centre of the large flower and added it to the bottom left of the sentiment. I then added another small flower beside that flower and the other small flower to the top right of the frame.

I then die cut the leaves out of green cardstock – some were left intact and some were the outline dies. These were added around the flowers and I had to trim the leaves around the small flower at the top right of the card.

To finish the card I added pearls to the centre of the flowers and on the decorative frame.

Wishing You a Beautiful Day with Amazing Paper Grace

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

What I love about Amazing Paper Grace dies is that the dies do all the heavy lifting and it takes no time at all to create beautiful, elegant and timeless cards. Today’s card uses just four Amazing Paper Grace die sets – one for a stunning background, one for highlighting the sentiment and two die sets for the flowers and leaves.

The lovely soft green and silver cardstock I have used makes a beautiful combination and really highlights the gorgeous Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2019 – Spun Blessing Oval Etched Dies. I then used the Amazing Paper Grace Beautiful Dreamer Stamp and Die Set to create the focal point for the silver heat embossed sentiment on the lovely tag die that comes with the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2019 – Spun Blessing Oval Etched Dies. The flowers were a combination of the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Five Flowers Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies that I had already made in my stash. This card took no time at all to come together.

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

My Project

For my card I have created a top folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I have then created layers using silver and green cardstock on the front of the card. I then die cut the shadow die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2019 – Spun Blessing Oval Etched Dies out of white pearl cardstock. I then die cut the decorative die using all the inlay decorative dies out of green cardstock and adhered it to the shadow die. This was then added to the front of the card using fun foam for more dimension. I finished the card front with a piece of coordinating green ribbon across length ways over the decorative die.

I die cut the decorative label die from the Amazing Paper Grace Beautiful Dreamer Stamp and Die Set out of silver cardstock and adhered it to the centre of the decorative frame die with foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps Mini Messages Stamp set in Versamark ink on green cardstock and heat embossed it with silver embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment out using the long decorative tag die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2019 – Spun Blessing Oval Etched Dies and adhered it to the front of the decorative label die.

I had some leaves and flowers already made and used a petal from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched dies with a flower that I had made earlier here from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Five Flowers Etched Dies to make a totally new flower. The leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched dies had been coloured with a soft mint colour ink which matched the colours I had used so well

To finish the card I added a ribbon bow out of green ribbon with a pearl on top to the right side of the sentiment label and then added pearls to the decorative dies as shown.
