I have another baby card to share with you that I made for my daughter’s friend who loves unicorns and rainbows. I have used a mix of Amazing Paper Grace and Pink Fresh Studio dies to make this card and the unicorn, rainbow and bow images I purchased off Etsy to create this gender neutral card which the recipient loved.
To keep with the rainbow theme I ink blended the background with rainbow colour inks using a cloud stencil. I then partially embossed it with the Spellbinders 3D Tufted Embossing Folder. I also made the flowers with the same ink colours to create further harmony with the colours.
The Amazing Paper Grace Grand Cabinet Dies were the perfect frame for the sweet unicorn and the rainbow and reminds me of beautiful draping of a baby cradle.
Sparkle was added with lots of stickles on the flowers and images, iridescent gems on the frame and the holographic card for the large letter dies from Lawn Fawn.

My Project
For my card I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card out of white cardstock. I added the lovely blue floral paper from Mintay to the front of the card. I die cut the frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month October 2019 One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies out of white cardstock and added it to the front with foam tape. I used the same die to cut out the bottom half of the die out of blue wood effect paper and then added the paper to the inside of the frame as shown.
I die cut the inner decorative banner out of the blue wood effect paper and added it to the panel that goes across the front of the card. I then die cut a piece of white cardstock using the inner plain die and sponged the edges with blue ink before adding over the decorative blue frame. I die cut the letters to spell ‘Baby Boy” out of dark blue cardstock and added it to the panel as shown.
For the sentiment I die cut the large ‘Sweet’ sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies out of white cardstock and ink blended an ombre effect using Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I then die cut another sentiment out of dark blue cardstock, added it behind the ombre sentiment and adhered it to the top half of the card.
I die cut the stork from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Bundle of Joy out of white cardstock and coloured it with grey and orange inks. I die cut the bundle out of white cardstock and ink blended it with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and added it to the stork. To finish the stork I used a black pen to add the eye. This stork was then added to the card on the right using foam squares.
I die cut some foliage from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies out of light green cardstock, trimmed the foliage and then added it to the bottom right and top left of the sentiment panel as well as on the bundle on the stork. I die cut the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month October 2019 One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies out of soft flower shaping paper and coloured them with lavender and yellow inks.

My Christmas card today is full of layers, textures and dimension created using several different dies from Amazing Paper Grace. The hero of the card is the gorgeous and very versatile Amazing Paper Grace Pop Up 3D Vignette Animal House Dies. This die set can be used as a cat or dog house but can equally be used as a birdhouse because of the circle die that goes with this set. I have paired this bird house with the sweet birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Dies and Christmas foliage and flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif Dies. The texture on this card comes from the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder, the background die – A2 Amazing Paper Grace Corner Cotillion Dies and the embossed woodgrain finish on the base of the bird house.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
To create my card I have created a top folding 5″ x 6″ base card out of white cardstock. I added a layer of gold cardstock and then added embossed a piece of 4 3/4″ x 5 3/4″ blue cardstock with the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder before adding it to the front of the card. I die cut two decorative dies from the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Corner Cotillion dies out of white cardstock and added it over the blue embossed layer.
To make the birdhouse I die cut the base die out of brown cardstock and embossed it with an old woodgrain embossing folder from my stash. I then sponged some brown ink on the edges to create more depth to the embossing. I then die cut an inner base out of blue cardstock using the plain die and then adhered it to the base house die. I then die cut two decorative fronts – one from white cardstock and one from gold cardstock. I then die cut the circle out of both dies before adhering them together with the gold die behind the white die slightly offset. This decorative front was then added to the base of the birdhouse using foam strips. I die cut the roof out of brown cardstock and sponged the edges with brown ink before adding the two white edges to create the ‘fringe’. The roof was then added to the top of the birdhouse with foam strips and then the entire bird house was adhered to the card front.
I die cut the birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Dies out of white, gold and blue cardstocks and then assembled them. I added some holly and ivy to the birds using the dies from this set then I die cut four flourishes from the same die set out of gold cardstock. I stacked two dies together to create two flourishes. I added a flourish to the top right of the bird house and the other to the bottom left of the birdhouse. The birds were then added over the flourishes using several layers of foam tape as required to secure the birds as shown.
I die cut and assembled the foliage dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif Dies using brown, red and green cardstocks. These were then added under and over the flourishes and the birds. I die cut the poinsettia flowers out of white cardstock and coloured them with blue ink before assembling them with two layers of petals each. I added a gold centre to each flower and then adhered them to the base of the birds.
I made the sentiment out of white and cardstock using the sentiment strips from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Dies and adhered it to the birdhouse with foam strips.
To finish the card I added Simply White Nuvo Drops to the flourishes on the background dies and on the birdhouse front.
Today I have my last Christmas card for Christmas in July and I have used the Amazing Paper Grace May 2019 Die of the Month – Nostalgic Serenade to create a background for the gorgeous bird and snowman and some snowy poinsettias. The very sweet embellishments take the background layering dies to a new dimension for a classic, timeless and elegant card that will delight the recipient for many years to come. And the copperplate script hot foiled sentiment adds the perfect finish to this card.

I loved the Amazing Paper Grace dies by Becca Feeken since I first discovered them several years ago for their timeless, romantic and classic look which will never date. Today I have made a card using one of Becca’s earlier designs for the Die of the Month series – Lacework Finery Slip In Card. Here is a video on how Becca has made a card using the ‘slip-in’ feature of the dies. I have still used the ‘slip-in’ feature but in a different way. And I love that there are some flower dies in this set so I could create beautiful flowers for the card. This is such a pretty and feminine card that would be great for special birthdays, weddings or any celebration.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
For my card I have made a 5″ x 7″ card base out of pink Centura Pearl cardstock. I used the outside die and the inner ‘slip’ decorative die and the two corner dies to die cut the card front.

I then die cut another single decorative panel and added it to the the front of the card crossing over the other decorative panel. To hide the join I cut a strip of 1″ wide pink cardstock and adhered a strip of 5/7″ ivory cardstock and a strand of ribbon which was then added over the centre of the dies and the edges were folded over the sides of the card. I then added this front panel to the base card.

To finish the card I added pearls to the ovals in the centre of the card and to the decorative dies and edges of the card front as shown.
