I have a stunning anniversary card to share with you today featuring the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month August 2019 Elegant Knots Etched Dies as a base for gorgeous flowers and some elegant Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist layering dies. A timeless and classic hot foiled sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant occasion Hot Foil Plate and a pretty coordinating ribbon bow finishes the card beautifully.

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

My Project

To make my card I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of cream cardstock. I added a layer of rose pearl card and another layer of pink pearl paper that I had scored every 1/8″ for some texture.

Using the outer shadow die I die cut a shadow out of pink pearl paper which I then embossed with the inner decorative die. I die cut two decorative dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month August 2019 Elegant Knots Etched Dies – one from rose pearl card and one from rose glitter card. I trimmed the glitter die in half and then adhered the rose die over the glitter die slightly offsetting the glitter die. This was then added to the embossed shadow die before adhering to the front of the card.

I wrapped some pink/gold silk ribbon to the centre of the dies.

I then die cut the layers for the centre using the large and medium dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant twist Ovals Etched Dies alternating the rose pearl card and the rose glitter cad. I added the top layer using foam tape.

I hot foiled the sentiment to the pink pearl paper using Rose Gold Foil and die cut the sentiment using the coordinating die. I die cut another plain die from the rose card and adhered the sentiment to this before adding to the middle of the oval dies.

I die cut the leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cottage Flowers dies out of light green cardstock and inked the leaves with green ink to create shape and dimension. The leaves were then added to the left side of the oval.

I die cut small leaves out of light green cardstock from the Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motif Etched Dies and added them around the bigger leaves.

I die cut the flourish from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud dies out of rose gold glitter cardstock and adhered it over the leaves.

I die cut the flowers out of flower shaping paper using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Cinch and Go Flowers dies. I coloured these with pink inks and sprayed them with Glimmer Mist. The flowers were then shaped and assembled when dry with two of one size petals and one smaller petal. I used brown wire stamens in the centres. I die cut the sepals out of green cardstock and inked the edges with green ink before adding them to the base of the flowers. The wires were trimmed and the flowers added over the top of the leaves.

I die cut the smaller flowers out of flower shaping paper using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies. These were coloured with pink and peach inks and sprayed with Glimmer Mist. Once dry these were shaped and I added some yellow pearl stamens to the centres. I then added the small flowers around the leaves and larger flowers.

To finish the card I made a bow out of the pink and gold ribbon and added it to the right side of the oval and added a rose coloured pearl to the centre.

Amazing Paper Grace Snip It Flowers Anniversary Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

I have been a huge fan of Becca Feeken since she first started Amazing Paper Grace and I have absolutely loved her intricate and decorative designs that can be used in so many ways. The Amazing Paper Grace September 2019 Die of the Month – Snip It Flowers is one of these dies that can be used in so many ways and I know that I will be using this die a LOT! I love the floral motifs that can be snipped to create lots of different designs and here I have created a small square with the die and framed them with the newer Picot Petite Square and Fluted Classic Square dies for an elegant, timeless and classic design. Of course I had to add some flowers, butterflies and pearls to finish the card.

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

My Project

For my card I have made a 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ top folding card base out of heavy white cardstock. I then added a layer of gold, ivory and blue cardstock. I cut another piece of ivory and blue cardstock and layered them together and added this to the front of the card with fun foam. I die cut two panels of the Snip It Flowers out of ivory cardstock and trimmed one die to 9 flowers. I then trimmed the flowers only of the second die and adhered them to the complete die for a little more dimension. This was then added to the front of the blue square. I die cut the larger floral motif out of blue cardstock and the smaller floral motif out of ivory cardstock and layered them to the centre of the flowers.

I die cut the large square frame from the Picot Petite Square dies out of gold cardstock and then added the large square frame die cut from the large Fluted Classic Square dies out of ivory cardstock. The whole frame was then added to the front of the decorative dies with foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment from the All Occasions Sentiments Stamp in Wow embossing ink on vellum and heat embossed it with fine detail gold embossing powder. I die cut this out using the banner die from the Just a Note Sentiments Tag Clear Stamp and Die Set and adhered this to the centre of the card at each end only and added a pearl to each end to hide the glue.

I die cut the leaf flourish from the My Sweet Friend die set out of light green cardstock, trimmed it and added it around the right side of the sentiment. I die cut small flowers using the dies from the Petite Floral Potpourri die set and coloured them with pink, yellow and blue inks. These were shaped and I added some wire pollen stamens to the centre. I trimmed the wires and added the flowers over the leaves and around the sentiment as shown.

To finish I added two butterflies from the Butterfly Garden Shutter set made from ivory, blue, black and gold cardstocks and white pearls to the centre of the flowers on the background die.

Amazing Paper Grace Happy Anniversary

Today I have combined three of my favourite techniques – flower making, die cutting and hot foiling in this anniversary card. I have been toying with an idea about hot foiling on acetate and finally managed to do a card with this idea. I still have other others in my head with hot foiling on acetate so watch this space… I have made a beautiful panel embossing rose coloured pearl card and hot foiling acetate with the same plate using the Amazing Paper Grace Diamonetta Background Hot Foil Plate and I was very pleased with how this card turned out. Add some beautiful borders from the Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Brackets and hand made Layered Cherry Blossoms finished with a very elegant hot foiled sentiment and the card is so elegant and very pretty

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

My Project

For my card I have created a top folding 6″ x 6″ card base out of white cardstock. I layered the front with gold and Rose Glow card. I scored double lines down each side of the Rose Gold card to create some interest in the background.

I cut a piece of Rose Glow card 2 1/2″ x 5 3/4″ and embossed it with the Diamonetta Background Hot Foil Plate and added it across the front the card in the centre. I then hot foiled a piece of acetate 3″ x 5 3/4″ using the same hot plate in gold foil and adhered it over the embossed panel with double sided tape.

I die cut two background borders out of gold cardstock and two decorative borders out of Ivory cardstock using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Brackets. I adhered the decorative borders over the gold background slightly offsetting the dies to show some gold. These were then added either side of the centre panel. I die cut two scallop borders from the Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Brackets dies out of gold cardstock and adhered them to the borders as shown.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Occasions Sentiment Hot Foil Plate and Die in gold foil and die cut it with the coordinating die. I also die cut three plain dies and stacked them together and added the foil sentiment on top. This was then placed in the centre of the decorative panel.

I die cut the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Cherry dies and coloured them and assembled them. These were adhered to the right and left of the sentiment. I die cut the leaves from green cardstock and added them around the flowers.

To finish I added clear Wink of Stella to the flowers and gold pearls to the centres of the lattice and to the centres of the flowers.
