Adoring You Amazing Paper Grace

Kia ora Koutou

Cardmaking is so easy when you have beautiful decorative dies that do all the heavy lifting resulting in timeless, classic and elegant cards. My card today features the stunning Amazing Paper Grace February 2019 – Enchantment Tall Flip and Gatefold Etched Dies by Becca Feeken as the base. This die set is so versatile and I have used it several times as a gatefold card but here I have created a 5″ x 7″ card with it. I have used a classic white and gold combination which goes well with the pink flowers and green leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Cherry Blossoms Etched Dies and the gold sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Adoring Fleurette Card Builder Etched Dies. To finish my card I have added a white sating bow and glittery gems to the centre of the open flowers and to the decorative die itself.

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

Sending Big Hugs with Amazing Paper Grace

Kia Ora Koutou

Today’s card has been inspired by a reel from Instagram and I have given it an Amazing Paper Grace Twist by using the Amazing Paper Grace Curvy Labels Etched Dies to create a ‘tunnel’ aperture and I added a pretty edge using the Amazing Paper Grace Floral Tiara Topper Etched Dies which has been lined with the same pink on the butterflies and the base of the card front. I have added foam tape between the layers of white card to create more depth and dimension to the card front and also to the flowers. I think the finished card is so crisp, fresh and also quite elegant and can be used for so many different occasions.

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

My Project

I have created a base card of 6″ x 6″ out of white cardstock. I then added matted pink and white cardstock to the front of the card. I cut two further pieces of white cardstock each 1/8″ smaller and also die cut the aperture out using the Amazing Paper Grace Curvy Etched dies – the bottom card is slightly smaller aperture to get the ‘tunnel’ effect. I also die cut the decorative edge out of the bottom of the top layer using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Floral Tiara Topper Etched Dies using the outer edge cutting die only. I die cut a shadow out of pink cardstock and added it to the back of the decorative edge and added another white complete decorative edge to the top of the previously cut edge for extra strength and depth. On the second layer I have used my scoreboard to score lines 1/8″ to the bottom for more interest. I have created the base for the aperture by hot foiling the Amazing Paper Grace Glorious Glimmer Elegant Background Hot Foil Plate with Opal foil and then sponging pink over it for a resist effect. The layers were all added together with foam tape and I added some acetate behind the bottom layer before adding the pink resist background onto the card front.

I have made the flowers using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motif Etched Dies. I have used pink inks to colour the flowers and then added green foliage and small yellow and green flowers which were added around the left side of the aperture.

To finish the card I added a decorative swirl to the top of the card using the flourish die from the Amazing Paper Grace Delicate Tendril Border Etched Dies and a motif at the top of the decorative edge from the Amazing Paper Grace Marquise Diamond Pendant Etched Dies and added pearls to the decorative dies as shown.

Finally I have added a couple of sweet butterflies from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Motif Etched Dies and the sentiment from the Honey Bee Stamps Mini Messages Stamp set has been stamped in black and cut small to fit the decorative edge using foam strips.

With Love Amazing Paper Grace

Kia ora Koutou

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

Kia ora Koutou

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 Gilded Nobel Chatelaine

Kia ora Koutou

I have another card inspired by the television programme The Gilded Age to share with you today. I love all the opening credits on this programme and the Amazing Paper Grace Nobel Chatelaine Etched Dies from the Vintage Treasures by Becca Feeken reminded me of the ornate necklace at the start of the credits and then to finish the card I have added some flowers and foliage to represent the ornate decorations at the end of the credits. The colour combination I have used here was used on a lot of the decor at the different mansions that are featured in this programme. I have kept the sentiment low key in order to highlight the stunning dies, flowers and foliage.

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

My Project

My base card is 5″ x &” and I have matted white and light blue/green cardstock to create a background using fun foam to add some dimension in the top matted layer.

I die cut a shadow decorative frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Nobel Chatelaine Etched Dies out of white cardstock and then die cut a decorative frame with the centre die cut out from gold cardstock. These were stacked together and added to the front of the card with foam tape and squares. I then added a small scalloped frame to the centre of the gold frame with foam squares for more dimension. I die cut two motifs from the same die set – one from gold cardstock and one from white cardstock. These were stacked together with the gold motif on top and then added into the centre of the frame as shown. I added a small white diamond to the centre and a gold pearl to the centre and sides of the motif and pearls to the centres of the flowers. To further enhance the feel of a necklace I added some iridescent gems from my stash to the decorative frame for lots of bling and sparkle.

I die cut some leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Etched Dies out of gold cardstock and added them to the left of the decorative frame. I then die cut three different leaf shapes out of three different green cardstocks using dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies, Sweet Cottage Flowers Etched Dies and the Layered Daisies Etched Dies. I added depth to the leaves with Mowed Lawn ink and then added them over the gold leaves.

The large flower has been made using the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cottage Flowers Etched Dies out of white flower shaping paper. I have dyed the paper a very pale pink and then shaped two petals similar to the flowers on the decor in The Gilded Rose television programme. Once dry I added some TCW Stardust Butter – Opalescent to the petals which gave the flower a shimmery porcelain finish. To finish the flower I added some gold edging to the petals with Cosmic Shimmer Luna Paste – Moonlight Gold. I used a styrofoam bud for the centre and added some gold pearls to the bud before adding some pearl stamens around the base of the stamen. The flower was added over the leaves using a foam square.

The small flowers have been made from the Amazing Paper Grace and the Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies and the Die of the Month March 2020 – Elegant Infinity Etched Dies. I have coloured the larger flowers with yellow ink and the smaller flowers with a pale blue ink that matches the colour of the background blue/green cardstock. These were shaped and added around the larger flower and I have added gold pearls to the centre of the yellow flowers and oyster pearls to the centre of the blue flowers. To finish the flowers I added some Stardust Stickles to the blue flowers and Stardust Stickles to the yellow flowers.

I stamped the sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace Seasonal Motif Sentiments Clear Stamp Set and the Becca’s Place Magnolia Stamp Set using Versamark ink on white cardstock and then heat embossed them with gold embossing powder. I die cut them both out using the small tag die from the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Etched Die set. I added a gold thread before attaching the tags to the card under the large flower. To finish the tags I die cut another motif out of gold cardstock and trimmed it to decorate the top of the tags and then added two small iridescent gems to them.

I die cut another two motifs and trimmed them in half and added these to each corner of the card over the blue/green cardstock to show the ornate decorative elements that were widely used in ‘The Gilded Age’. I added some oyster pearls to the centres of the flowers to tie in with the rest of the card.

‘Tis the Season With Amazing Paper Grace

Kia ora Koutou

Gosh we are almost into August and I can’t believe how fast this year has gone. July is nearly done but I have one more Christmas card to share with you featuring the Amazing Paper Grace Gilded Vines Glimmer Plates from The Gilded Age collection by Becca Feeken. I have been watching The Gilded Age series on TV and it is just fabulous and I love looking at all the beautiful gilded decor, gold jewellery and stunning outfits. So this card has been inspired by all the lavish gilding on the walls and even the ceilings. I have kept my card fairly simple and added some Christmas embellishments from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif dies from the Seasonal Labels Motif dies collection.

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

My Project

My card base is 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ made from white cardstock. I added a lovely texture to the top and bottom by die cutting a single decorative edge from the Amazing Paper Grace Infinity Link Border dies out of white cardstock and cutting it in half. I then foiled the background using the Amazing Paper Grace Gilded Vines Glimmer Plates using Aura foil and trimmed the card down and matted it with gold mirror card before adding it to the base card using some Fun Foam.

For the sentiment I used the sentiment from the Christmas Damask Jubilee Hot Foil Plate Set and foiled it on white cardstock before using the rectangle die from the Amazing Paper Grace All Occasions Stamp and Die set before adding it to the centre of the decorative background.

I die cut two frames using the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Rectangle die set – one from gold mirror cardstock and on from white cardstock. These were stacked together and added around the sentiment as shown.

I then made a range of Christmas embellishments using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif dies out using a variety of colours and also some accents in gold mirror cardstock. These embellishments were added to the top left and bottom right of the card as shown. I also added glossy accents to the berries for more dimension and shine.

To finish the card I added some gold pearls to the bottom left, top right and around the sentiment as shown.

Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Gift Box

Kia ora Koutou

Today I have a gorgeous Christmas gift box that I have made using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month November 2019 – Winter’s Solstice. I enjoy making boxes or bags to add small treats such as chocolates for my family for Christmas and when I saw that Becca Feeken had made a video demonstrating how to make this box I had to make it. You can see the video here. I had a lot of fun making this and decorating it with various dies from Amazing Paper Grace.

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

My Project

I have made the box according the the instructions from Becca Feeken up to adding the gold dies. You can see the video here. I did inlay some of the gold accents in the large outer decorative die and added some gold pearls to decorate them. I also added the ribbon but left the bow and decorated the top of the box with floral elements for a festive feel.

To decorate my box I have die cut several foliage elements from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif Dies and Petite Floral Potpourri Dies from green, red and brown cardstock to create the base.

The lantern is also from the Holiday Label Motif Dies and made from gold mirror cardstock and I have used Copic markers to colour the flame on the candle. This was added using foam squares.

The poinsettia is from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Poinsettia Dies and I have used Copic markers to colour the flowers and leaves before assembling the flower. I then used some Moonlight Gold Lunar Past for some golden sparkle and the stamens have been made from yellow Nuvo drops and I have added a dot of red in the centres with a red Copic marker.

The white flowers are made using the flower die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2020 – Elegant Infinity and after shaping and adding the stamens I added some Crystal Stickles to the petals for some shine and sparkle.

To finish the box I added a gold ribbon to the sides of the top and finished it with a gold pearl.

Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Greetings

Kia ora Koutou

Today I am sharing the first Christmas card I have made this year and I am so happy to have made a start on them. The Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Dies make it so easy to make a shaped card with a nifty little hinge by die cutting close to the side edge with the tabs over the fold. This helps with allowing the card to fold over and more space if you wish add extra embellishments inside the card as well. For this card I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Snow Globe Dies as the base and the Amazing Paper Grace Santa Claus Layering Set Dies to decorate the front of the card.

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

My Project

For my project today I created the base card using the outer shadow die from the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Snow Globe Dies out of white cardstock. I then die cut three decorative panels using the shadow and inner decorative dies out of pearlescent cardstock that had a tinge of gold. I then added some double sided paper adhesive to the base of the front and the inner panels. I then removed the top of the adhesive paper before adding the decorative panels and then added some Diamond Sprinkles to the sticky paper for a sparkly finish.

I die cut two decorative circle frames out of gold mirror cardstock and white cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Circle dies. These were stacked together with the gold on top and then added to the top of the circle on the front of the card.

I then die cut the sun ray die from the Amazing Paper Grace Santa Claus Layering Set Dies out of the pearl card. I added some more double sided adhesive paper to some pearl card and die cut it out with the plain circle die. I removed the top of the adhesive paper and then added the sunray die to the circle before adding some more Diamond Sprinkles.

I then die cut the Santa and tree die from the same set out of pearl cardstock and made sure to emboss the die before adding to the sunray circle with foam strips. This was then added to the middle of the gold Elegant Twist frame.

To finish the front I added some gold holly leaves to the base of the card, a gold pearl to the centre of the sun ray and some clear gems with gold dust radiating out from the centre and also the the leaves.

I repeated the same steps to the inside right panel of the card this time using the Christmas Greetings die from the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Snow Globe Dies.

I left the inside left panel blank to write the greeting.

Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Birthday Wishes

Kia Ora Koutou

Today I have a very special birthday card I made for a very special person using dies from the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Mini Album Collection by Becca Feeken. Shaped cards are so easy when you use a 3D Vignette die and my favourite 3D Vignette die is the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Vaulted Cabinet Etched Dies. I love the shape of the aperture and I especially love the swirls and flourishes in the decorative background too. I have paired these dies with the Amazing Paper Grace Birthday Wishes Vignette Etched Dies from the Beautiful Sentiment Vignette Dies Collection by Becca Feeken to change this to a birthday card. Finally I added a beautiful hot foiled sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Heart Felt Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and Dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cardlets Collection on the interactive pivot banner for extra meaning and a sweet butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Etched Dies to the front.

I have used soft pinks, cream and white with accents of gold for this card for a soft, vintage, romantic and elegant shaped card that the recipient loved.

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

You can watch a video here on how to create the pop up element on a card as well as in the mini album here: https://youtu.be/AMmUn1SxksI?si=xtKsM7mR1UkQKgII. You can also see how adding the shadow die to the edge of folded cardstock creates the shaped card.
