Amazing Easter Flowers

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

While I am headed for autumn and winter here in New Zealand spring is on its welcome way to the Northern Hemisphere and Easter is just around the corner. Today I have another Easter card featuring gorgeous Amazing Paper Grace flowers to share with you. My inspiration was a picture in my mind of a little bunny rabbit in amongst all the pretty spring flowers with birds singing and Easter eggs strewn around the flowers. For my card I have used two Amazing Paper Grace flower dies for this card – Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V flowers and the ever so useful Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies to create a carpet of flowers with the rabbit sitting in them and some birds singing around it on a background of a gorgeous frame using the Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Chargeour by Becca Feeken.

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

My Project

For my card today I have made a 5″ x 7″ card base and layered a mix of pink papers and white cardstock to create the base for the card front. I have die cut three large decorative frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Chargeour out of white cardstock and stacked them together and then adhered it to the card front. I die cut one of the inner cuts using the smaller decorative die and adhered it to the middle of the frame. Another pink patterned paper was cut out using the smallest die from the same set and adhered it to the centre of the frame. I then added the rabbit and other ephemera to create the base for the flowers.

I have used soft pastel shades to colour the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V Etched Dies once I had shaped and assembled them I added them to the base of the rabbit as shown. I then added the leaves cut out from green cardstock from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V Flowers die set and added them around the flowers. I died some small polystyrene balls purple and added them on the nest and around the flowers.

I have die cut three Happy Easter sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace Merry Everything Etched Dies – two from white cardstock and one from blue pattern paper, stacked them together with the blue sentiment on top and then adhered the words to the top of the card as shown.

Celebrate New Beginnings

Today I am sharing another gorgeous floral Easter card inspiration that is a slight departure from my usual style of cards. It is always good to stretch and challenge oneself! I have just purchased some beautiful Mintay papers – Elodie and I just love the soft pastel shades and designs of this collection. I have combined these papers and die cuts with some cute Easter themed Mintay Chippies and Heartfelt Creations flowers and dies for a sweet one of a kind Easter card. The florals remind us that for many around the world spring is on the way and it is time to ‘celebrate new beginnings’.

My project for today

I have created a 5″ x 7″ card base and layered different blue pattern papers and white cardstock to create the base. I die cut the decorative die from the Heartfelt Creations Decorative Circle Frames three times from white cardstock and then adhered to the front of the card. I die cut the eyelet edge circle from another contrasting pattern from the Elodie papers and adhere to the front of the decorative die. I have then added a mix of die cuts and chippies to the card front to create the background scene for the card. I have made lilies and small clematis flowers out of Rajni Chawla’s Flower Shaping Paper and adhered them around the images and chippies. I then stamped and die cut the leaves from the Garden Lilies stamp and die set and the Holly Berry Spray stamp and die set. I shaped these leaves and then added them around the flowers as shown.

The pink filler flowers have been created adding the pink Prills to some floral wire with a hot glue gun. These make great fillers and the pink toned really well with the Elodie papers.

To complete the card I have stamped the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Seasonal Motif Sentiments Clear Stamp Set in Altenew Obisidian Pigment ink on white cardstock and then die cut it out with the tag die from the Amazing Paper Grace Just a Note Sentiments. This was adhered to the top right of the card and to finish I added a small blue jewel.

Amazing Easter Wishes

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Easter is just around the corner and I have another Easter card to share with you today made using the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motifs Etched Dies from the Seasonal Motifs collection by Becca Feeken. This card was so quick and easy to create as I had everything I needed in this die set from flowers and leaves to the sweet little rabbit. All I needed was to add a butterfly and a gorgeous layering die and I was done! Easy Peasy!

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

My Project Today

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card and layered the largest hemstitch rectangle die from the Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies with a gold background to the front of the card. I have then created the label from the Spring Label Motifs Etched Dies using a combination of yellow, gold and white cardstocks for a pretty base for the embellishments. I have coloured white cardstock with Saltwater Taffy, Kitsch Flamingo, Frayed Burlap and Tumbled Glass inks and die cut the flowers out before assembling them. I have used green cardstock for the leaves and yellow cardstock for the centres of the blue flowers. I die cut the rabbit out with some cream cardstock from my stash and sponged the edge with Frayed Burlap ink. I then added the flowers and leaves to the bottom left of the label and added the rabbit which has been shaped lightly and added it to the card using foam squares.

A sweet butterfly from the Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters Etched Dies and the sentiment from the Merry Everything Etched Dies completed my card.

Easter Lilies

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Today I am sharing an elegant clean and simple Easter card with you. I recently purchased this gorgeous Nellie’s Choice embossing folder called Cross with Lilies. This folder is so pretty and does not need many embellishments and today I have used it for an Easter card but it could be used as a sympathy card instead.

My Project Today

My card base is 5 3/4″ x 4 1/2″ – slightly larger than a normal A5 card so that I could create some layers behind the embossed layer. I have handmade some lilies using the Garden Lily flowers from Heartfelt Creations out of Rajni Chawla’s flower shaping paper. The leaves behind it are from the Creative Expressions Finishing Touches – Leafy Branches. The sentiment is from Amazing Paper Grace Merry Everything Words Etched Dies from the Right Words Collection by Becca Feeken.

To finish the card I have dusted the flowers with some glitter after painting the flowers with a clear gloss gel medium.

Amazing Paper Grace Irises and Hexagons

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Today I am sharing a card that was inspired by the colours of my handcrafted irises. I have used the stunning Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Etched Dies by Becca Feeken to create a lovely decorative background for the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Etched Dies from the Home Sweet Quilt Collection by Becca Feeken. The hexagon panel fitted perfectly over the decorative background. To complete the card I have made a bouquet made using irises I created from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go IV Etched Dies – they were the perfect dies because of the three petals and irises have 6 petals. This card would be perfect for any celebratory occasion – birthday, milestone, wedding…

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

My Project Today

I have created a 5″ x 7″ card based and layered gold, pale blue and lilac cardstock to create the base to the decorative dies. I have then die cut the decorative die from the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace die out of gold cardstock making sure that I also embossed this die and placed it on the front of the card. I then made the panel from the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Panels Etched Dies using blue, purple and gold hexagons and added it to the front of the decorative die. The sentiment banner is from the Amazing Paper Grace Vintage Pierced Banners Etched Dies and I have added the sentiment die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2020 – Elegant Infinity.

I have handcrafted the irises from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go IV Etched Dies using Rajni Chawla’s Flower Shaping Paper and adhered them to the side of the panel with leaves and accents from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Tulip Etched dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month August 2022 – Peekaboo Trellis Etched Dies. To finish the floral bouquet I have added some fillers made using yellow Prills and florist wire.

The sweet butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Etched Dies completes the card.

The sentiment has been curved a little to fit the curved banner.

I have created a pretty petal pattern with the hexagon panel using a mix of the purple, blue and gold hexagons.

The leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Tulip Etched dies were perfect for the irises.

I have used a hot glue gun to add the Lemon Chiffon Prills to some florist wire to create the filler flowers.

I have made the butterfly out of vellum and gold cardstock to coordinate with the background colours. I have used Tumbled Glass and Shaded Lilac to colour the wings.

A Blue and Silver Christmas Ensemble

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

Today I am sharing the Christmas ensemble that I did for my son last year. This time I have used a blue and silver combination for the projects and used the Summer Label Motifs as the background for the sweet cat and foliage. I made a box for a bar of chocolate and unfortunately I did not get to take a photo of it separately. I used the same Summer Label Motif on this box and hot foiled the sentiment from the Spellbinders Crossed Lines Card Front Glimmer Plate to go on the front of the box. It was wonderful that I could do a little mass producing but still be able to personalise the projects for each person. I have one more ensemble to show you at another time.

My Projects:

My son also loves cats so for my card I have added a sweet cat with some Christmas foliage to the front of the gorgeous Summer Labels Motif Dies in blue and silver. The largest stitched edge die from the rectangle Amazing Paper Grace Postage Edge dies is the perfect size to trim the hot foiled background to fit the 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base. A hot foil sentiment on blue cardstock finishes this card perfectly. The small snowflakes are from the Holiday Label Motif Dies.

Finally I have made an envelope for the gift voucher using the December 2021 Die of the Month – Enchanting Pocket Notecard, Tag and Envelope. The Christmas foliage helped to tie all the different elements to create a stunning ensemble and this took very little time to complete and for once I had my projects finished well before Christmas Day!

Amazing Quilty Hugs

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations4 Comments

I really love it when I can make two different designs using one set of die cutting. In January I created a card using the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilt Etch Dies in a gold and white combination. Using the left over pieces from that card I was able to make a totally different design using from the same colour combinations and similar flowers and butterflies. This time I have recessed the ‘quilted’ panel and added some pretty flowers and a butterfly to create a very elegant card.

You can see the other card here for a comparison.

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

My Project

I have created a base card of 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ out of white cardstock. I then cut a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller than the base card and die cut the recess out using the outline die from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilt Etch Dies. I then embossed this using the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel Embossing Folder and then adhering it to the front of the card using some foam tape. I added the quilted panel to the recess and decorated the card with flowers made using the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies and Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go IV Etched Dies and a butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection.

To complete the card I have added the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilt Etch Dies in gold to the bottom of the card.

I have coloured the vellum using Saltwater Taffy and Kitsch Flamingo inks for the butterfly before adding the gold accents.

I have stacked the sentiment dies for more depth and dimension.

I have added the embossed layer to the front of the card using foam tape to create the recess for the ‘quilted’ panel.
