Amazing Paper Grace – Happy Birthday

It has been a while since I made some beautiful flowers using Amazing Paper Grace flower dies and I was going through withdrawal symptoms! So today I have a beautiful birthday card full of pretty flowers to share with you. The birthday sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Happy Occasion Words Etched Dies from the Right Words Collection by Becca Feeken was perfect to go with these flowers. This die set is from the Amazing Paper Grace The Right Words Collection which has a number of different sentiments for so many different occasions. The sentiment really makes a statement on this card and who wouldn’t love to receive this card!

Today’s projects were used with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

My Project for Today

For my card I have used another of my favourite Amazing Paper Grace dies – Amazing Paper Grace Annabel’s Trousseau Layering Frame Medium die on a 5″ x 7″ base card. I have stenciled a sun ray pattern with glitter paste for the centre of the decorative frame. There are three different flower dies in my floral spray – the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken, Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Flowers III, and the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cottage Flowers dies. I have added a pretty butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken. And the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Happy Occasion Words Etched Dies from the Right Words Collection by Becca Feeken fits nicely within the beautiful decorative frame.

I have used a glitter paste for the stencil in the middle of the frame and this helps the sentiment to really stand out.

I have die cut three layers of the sentiment – two from white cardstock and one from gold cardstock. I then stacked the layers together before adhering them to the card. This helps the sentiment to really stand out.

I have added some yellow jewels to the centres of the pink flowers for a bit of sparkle.

Butterlies are the perfect accompaniment for a floral card.

I love using pastel colours for my flowers and try to have a range of different colours that coordinate for a harmonious finish.

I have sprinkled Crystal Ultrafine glitter to the flowers after painting the flowers with clear gloss gel medium.

Bless You Amazing Paper Grace

Today I have another card featuring the Amazing Paper Grace You are a Blessing Etched Dies from the Right Words Collection by Becca Feeken from the The Right Words Collection. This is such a gorgeous set with the words creating a beautiful range of sentiments to suit all occasions. I am very blessed to be part of the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team and this card is for Becca, Beth and Margie. I am so grateful for your trust and faith in me. Thank you so much!

This week’s challenge is ‘The Emboss of Me” and I have embossed a die to create a textured finish rather than an embossing folder.

Today’s projects were used with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

My Projects for Today

For my project today I have created a 5″ x 7″ landscape card using the Amazing Paper Grace You are a Blessing Etched Dies from the Right Words Collection by Becca Feeken as the hero. I have created a pretty base using the Amazing Paper Grace Eyelet Lace Frame Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken – one of my all time favourites!! Instead of die-cutting the inner decorative die I have embossed the die instead to create an embossed texture and contrast to the pretty lacy frame. A touch of pink highlights the decorative edge inside the frame and I have also used pink for the sentiment to really pop on the card. I have added the flower motifs on the top left and bottom right of the card to balance it out. The pink flowers and green leaves in the motifs help to lift the motifs on the lacy white background.. This card was very quick and easy to put together and is ‘flat’ and perfect for regular posting.

I have stacked two layers of the sentiment – the white sentimentoffsetting with the pink sentiment to create a shadow.

I have used clear acetate to adhere the floral accents to and enable me to inlay the green leaves and pink flowers.

This close up shows the texture of embossing the inner decorative die. To complete the card I have added flat back pearls to accentuate the pattern of the dies.
