It’s The Most Wonderful Time of the Year with Amazing Paper Grace

Kia ora Koutou

Today I have my last Christmas card for Christmas in July and I have used the Amazing Paper Grace May 2019 Die of the Month – Nostalgic Serenade to create a background for the gorgeous bird and snowman and some snowy poinsettias. The very sweet embellishments take the background layering dies to a new dimension for a classic, timeless and elegant card that will delight the recipient for many years to come. And the copperplate script hot foiled sentiment adds the perfect finish to this card.

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

My Project

For my project I have created a top folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I then layered gold and ivory pearl card to the front. I then die cut the outer frame from the Amazing Paper Grace May 2019 Die of the Month – Nostalgic Serenade out of gold cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card with foam strips. I die cut the inner label from the same die set out of gold cardstock and added it to the centre of the frame using thicker foam tap. I hot foiled the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Holiday Glimmer Sentiments using gold foil on ivory pearl card before die cutting with the inner plain edge die and added this to the gold label with foam tape.

I die cut two flourishes out of gold cardstock from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Dies and adhered one to the top right of the frame and one to the bottom left of the frame. I die cut the bird out of white and gold cardstocks, assembled it before adding it to the top right of the frame over the flourish with foam tape.

I die cut the snowman out of white, blue, orange cardstock using dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Let It Snowman A2 Card Front Dies and assembled it before gluing to some gold cardstock. I cut the snowman out leaving the gold behind the snowman and then added it to the left of the frame over the flourish with foam tape

I die cut the foliage from the Amazing Paper Grace November 2020 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Poinsettia Sleigh out of green cardstock and added the leaves around the bird and snowman.

I die cut the poinsettia flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace November 2020 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Poinsettia Sleigh out of white cardstock. I coloured the flowers with green and blue inks before assembling with two petals per flower of the same size. I added snow to the flowers using TCW Opalescent Stardust Butter and then when dry added them around the bird and snowman.

To complete the card I added some gold pearls to the centre of the snowman belly, the poinsettias and around the sentiment.

Amazing Paper Grace All Hearts Come Home for Christmas

Kia ora Koutou

I have another Christmas in July card for you today featuring the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – Die of the Month July 2021 Home Sweet Home along with some Christmas themed die sets from the Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Flourishes Collection as well as a dies from other collections and even including from a Halloween die set – products listed below the photos. I wanted to show how to mix and match different dies to create a single card to show how versatile Amazing Paper Grace dies are and how they can all fit together in many different themes.

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

My Project

To make my card I have created a to folder 5″ x 7″ card base out of white cardstock. I then embossed a piece of white cardstock 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ using the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder and added it on the front of the card. I then die cut a decorative frame out of blue cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Eyelet Lace Frame and backed it with a gold frame before adding it to the front of the card.

I die cut the house out of white, yellow, gold and blue cardstock using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2021 – Home Sweet Home Dies and assembled it according to the instructions. Before adding the house to the front of the card I die cut two trees from the Amazing Paper Grace Spooky Cottage dies out of brown cardstock, trimmed the trees and added a tree and extra branch on the right side of the card and a small branch on the top left of the frame. I then added the house to the front of the card with some foam for extra height in the centre of the card.

I die cut the small birdies from the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Frame Gala Dies out of white and gold cardstock. I trimmed each bird and mixed the gold and white sections. Two birds were added to the top of the tree branches on the right side of the card and one bird to the top left of the card using a small foam square.

I die cut the snowman out of white, blue, orange cardstock using dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Let It Snowman A2 Card Front Dies and assembled it before gluing to some gold cardstock. I cut the snowman out leaving the gold behind the snowman and then added it to the left of the house with foam tape.

I die cut the sentiment banner from the Amazing Paper Grace All Hearts Come Home A2 Card Front Dies from white cardstock and backed it with gold cardstock before adding to the top of the house using multiple layers of foam tape to make it flat. I die cut three sentiment words from the same die set – two from white and one from gold cardstock. I stacked the sentiments together with the gold sentiment on top and added it to the frame under the house.

I die cut the small holly leaves and berries from green and red cardstocks using the small dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Dies and adhered them to the top of the decorative eaves and either side of the sentiment on the frame.

I die cut snowflakes out of white glitter paper using the snowflake dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Let It Snowman A2 Card Front Dies and added them around the house and on the frame.

To finish I added iridescent gems to the snowman and in the centres of the snowflakes for some sparkle.

Amazing Paper Grace Let It Snowman

Kia ora Koutou

Today I am sharing a card that I have created for a challenge in a Facebook group I belong to and the challenge is to create a card featuring a snow globe from any company’s designs. Of course I had to go to Amazing Paper Grace and the Let It Snowman dies from the Christmas Flourishes Collection by Becca Feeken. The colour combination on this card has been inspired by a card I saw on Instagram. I don’t normally put gold accents with soft blue and white but this combination really does work. This die set is an A2 set by I have made this A5 to really show up the embossed background I have created.

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

My Project

To make my card I have created a side opening 5″ x 7″ card from white cardstock. I have added a piece of 5″ x 7″ Snowdrift card to the front of the card to coordinate with my die cuts. I then cut a piece of soft blue cardstock 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″ and added it to the front. I cut a piece of vellum the same size and embossed it with the Holly Flourish Embossing Folder. Before adding the vellum to the front of the card I die cut three frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Let it Snowman A2 Card Front Dies out of Snowdrift cardstock and some snow flakes from some white glitter paper I had in my stash. I stacked the three frames together and added them to the embossed vellum. I added some snowflakes above the frame. I then added some glue behind the snowflakes and frame and added the vellum to the front of the card.

I die cut the main body of the snowman out of Snowdrift cardstock and then added gold to the back of the body and trimmed it to fit. I hot foiled Opal foil to some blue cardstock and then die cut the hat and some snowflakes out of the lovely shiny blue card. The accents were die cut from gold cardstock and the nose from orange cardstock. I assembled the snowman and added it inside the frame.

I die cut the sentiment from Snowdrift and gold cardstocks, assembled them and added them to the base of the frame.

I added the blue snowflakes to the frame and more white glitter snowflakes to the centre of the frame around the snowman as shown.

To finish I added gold pearls to the frame, snowflakes and the snowman.

This card came together very quickly.

My Project

I have made a 5″ x 7″ side folding card base out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and embossed it with the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder before adding it to the frame of the card. I then made a frame using the Amazing Paper Grace Deco Bloom Die out of white and gold cardstock.

An Amazing Paper Grace Noel Christmas Card

Merry Christmas – or Meri Kerihimete as spoken here in New Zealand

I have the last of my Christmas cards using the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace The Christmas Flourishes Collection. I love this gorgeous frame and embellishments from the Amazing Paper Grace Noel Mini Slimline Frame Etched Dies from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken. And once again I have used a non-traditional colour scheme of silver and blue with some very pretty pale blue poinsettias and some stunning holly leaves in green.

Today’s creations were made with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.



My Project for Today

For my card I have created a 5″ x 7″ base and used dark blue and silver layers with a pale blue embossed layer using the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish 2D Embossing Folder on the top. I have added some extra decoration using a frame from the Spellbinders Layering Mini-Slimline dies and a decorative flourish from the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Filigree Marquis Etched Dies. I have backed the pinhole frame with silver cardstock and added it to a plain pale blue background with foam tape aand then was added over the background decorative elements. The sentiment and flourish has been added to the centre of the frame and to finish I have added some holly made using dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Noel Mini Slimline Frame Etched Dies around the flowers. This card was so quick and easy to put together.

I have die cut two sentiments and flourishes – one in silver and one in dark blue. I have adhered them together slightly offsetting the silver over the blue for the sentiment to pop in the centre of the frame.

I have added some glitter to the flowers using clear gloss gel medium on a paintbrush to go along with the iridescent gems for some Christmas sparkle.

The flower centres of the Amazing Paper Grace Noel Mini Slimline Frame Etched Dies were perfect to go with the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Poinsettia Etched Dies Etched Dies. The soft yellow was perfect with the pale blue poinsettias.

I have used the Fluted Classics Ovals Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken as a base for the flourishes and sentiment to sit on.

I have die cut four flourishes – two from silver and two from light blue cardstock. I then adhered the silver flourish under the blue flourish before trimming the flourishes and adding to each end of the oval base.
