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.

Christmas is fast approaching and for my projects today I have created an ensemble that is perfect as a gift for Christmas. The beautiful Amazing Paper Grace October 2022 Die of the Month – 3D Poinsettia Surprise Envelope is so versatile and can be used in a number of different ways. The dimensional envelope is perfect as home decor or as a dimensional card.

The gift tag is made using the label motifs from the Amazing Paper Grace Winter Label Motifs Etched Dies from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken and can be taken out to use as a tag on a gift. The different blues on the background go well with silver accents and traditional reds and greens with the poinsettias. I love how the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish 2D Embossing Folder from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken coordinates so well with the flourishes in the Amazing Paper Grace October 2022 Die of the Month – 3D Poinsettia Surprise Envelope.

There are 22 cutting dies included in the 3D Poinsettia Surprise Envelope.

Amazing Paper Grace | The Christmas Flourishes Collection Intro Blog Hop

I love decorative dies that can be trimmed to create a totally different look and I also love mixing and matching past Amazing Paper Grace dies for an elegant and timeless look. The Amazing Paper Grace Merry Flourish Etched Dies from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken was perfect for trimming to create an elegant Christmas card and also to create a sparkling Christmas decoration that can be personalised or use as a tag for a Christmas present

Today’s projects created were used with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

My Projects for Today

Today I am sharing a Christmas card and coordinating Christmas decoration made using the Amazing Paper Grace Merry Flourish Etched Dies from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken and with the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish 2D Embossing Folder from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken. I have used the Fluted Classics Ovals Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken to create a base for the decorative dies and embellishments. The card has been decorated with poinsettias from the Amazing Paper Grace Shapeabilities Cinch and Go Poinsettia Etched Dies Etched Dies A Charming Christmas Collection by Becca Feeken, birds and holly from the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Frame Gala Etched Dies Christmas Cascade Collection by Becca Feeken.

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.

I have I have added the band using Pearlescent vellum to the centre of the card for the Christmas sentiment on.

To finish the card I have made some poinsettias from the Amazing Paper Grace Shapeabilities Cinch and Go Poinsettia Etched Dies Etched Dies A Charming Christmas Collection by Becca Feeken to compliment the holly and birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Frame Gala Etched Dies Christmas Cascade Collection by Becca Feeken.

I have created a shaker element by stacking 5 layers of the decorative die and trimming out the sentiment and the band to allow me to add the sequins. The back is plain to add the sequins to. I have die cut the sentiment for the top layer and adhered it to acetate before adding it to the front of the decoration. You can personalise the decoration on the back of the decoration. I have added some iridescent jewels for a sparkly finish.

Instructions: 

Cut a piece of white cardstock 12” x 6”, score at 6” along the long side and fold to create a base card of 6” x 6”. Cut a piece of dark blue patterned paper 6” x 6” and adhere to the front of the card. Cut two identical squares with trees on the background from the paper collection using the outer plain square die from the HCD1-7283 Courtyard Elegance Die set. Adhere one to the front of the card.

Stamp the cabin from the HCPC-3922 Woodsy Winterscapes Cling Stamp Set and the truck and the leaf branch from the HCPC-3921 Festive Winterscapes Cling Stamp Set in Jet Black ink on Iris cardstock. Colour with Zig Clean Colour Brush markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. Add snow effects to the cabin with Dries White glue and Ultrafine Crystal glitter. Adhere to the centre of the patterned paper on the front of the card.

Die cut the outer decorative die from the HCD1-7283 Courtyard Elegance Die set using the large plain edge die, the outer decorative die and the circle die from the HCD1-7283 Courtyard Elegance Die Set. Using this as a template draw the circle on the patterned paper squares and then die cut the circle out with the circle die. Adhere the silver decorative die to patterned paper and then adhere to the front of the card with two layers of heavy cardboard.

Stamp the large and small tree and the deer images from the HCPC-3922 Woodsy Winterscapes Cling Stamp Set in Jet Black ink on Iris cardstock.

Colour the centres with Vermillion ink and die cut with the coordinating dies. Shape using the coordinating mold and then assemble with two of the same size and add Frosting Powder using Dries Clear glue on a damp sponge. Add Heart of Gold Prills to the centres of the flowers and adhere to the top left as shown.

Stamp the holly leaf images from the HCPC-3881 Christmas Poinsettia & Holly Stamp set in Library Green ink on Deluxe Flower Shaping Paper.
