Sweet Amazing Paper Grace Baby Boy Card

Kia ora Koutou

I have another sweet baby boy card to share with you today. This time I have made a gorgeous shaped card using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2022 – Tiara Trifold Etched Dies and decorated it with some lovely soft knit blue patterned paper by Mintay. Most of the embellishments came from this die set with the ‘baby boy’ word dies from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies. This card was so quick and easy to make and so pretty with the gorgeous paper.

Check out Becca Feeken’s video here on how you can make bifold, trifold and many more options on YouTube here.

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

My Project

For my card I have made a bi-fold card usinf the base and decorative tiara inerts from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2022 – Tiara Trifold Etched Dies out of heavy weight pearl cardstock. I die cut two plain panels out of the blue pattern paper and two decorative panels out of pearl cardstock. I adhered the decorative dies to the paper panels and then adhered the panels to the front and back of the card.

I decorated both front and backs of the card using the flowers and leaf dies that came with the Tiara Trifold die set. I added a ‘Hello’ sentiment to the front of the card and also added the small label die to the bottom of the card front with foam tape. This was decorated with some flowers and the ‘baby boy’ word dies from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies which I die cut from the pattern paper.

To complete the card I added pearls to the decorative top, flower centres and on the trellis on the front of the card and a sweet bird above the flower on the front of the card.

Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Baby Boy

Kia ora Koutou

I have a sweet baby boy card to share with you today featuring the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month October 2019 One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies as the base for the oversized ‘Sweet’ word from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies and the gorgeous stork from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Layered Bundle of Joy Dies. The florals and small leaves are in the One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies and all I needed to add was some more foliage from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies.

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

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. These were spritzed and shaped and once dry were added over the foliage around the central panel and on the bundle. I coloured the leaves with green ink and added them around the flowers.

To finish the card I added small pearls to the centres of the flowers and to the decorative panel as shown.
