I really love the versatility of the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignettes and I also love the beautiful vignette scenes as well where you can layer a 3D scene very quickly, including the sentiment for any occasion. Today’s Christmas card has a nativity scene made using the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Lattice Arch Dies with the Amazing Paper Grace Nativity. Layering Set Dies in a classic and elegant white and gold combination. I have made the nativity scene the focal point of the card by using foam strips to layer the vignette in the centre of the card and making it pop from the stunning background die. I have finished the card with some white and gold poinsettias from the Amazing Paper Grace November 2020 Die of the Month Pop up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh Dies.

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

My Project

My finished card is 5″ x 5 1/2″ and the base is layered in gold and white card. I die cut a plain frame and a gold frame using the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Lattice Arch Dies and adhered them together.

I die cut two star ‘ray’ vigentte dies – one from gold card and one from white card and adhered them together with the gold slightly offset. I then die cut the nativity scene from white card and two sentiment vignettes from gold card. I adhered the two sentiment vignettes together and then layered all the vignettes together with foam strips.

I die cut a plain insert out of white card and ink blended yellow and green inks and added it behind all the vignettes.

I then added the frame to the front of the card with foam tape and then added the vignettes to the centre of the frame.

To finish I added some pearls to the star ‘rays’ and the white poinsettias and gold foliage to the top left of the card.

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.

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

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 Decorative Gatefold Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Here is my second card for my Christmas in July series. This time I have created a gatefold card using the Amazing Paper Grace Delicate Tendril Border Dies to create a stunning, elegant and timeless Christmas card to keep on the mantle all year round. I love how Becca has added two separate edge dies on her border dies and this makes it so much easier to create gatefold cards. Here I have created a decorative gatefold card using the Delicate Tendril Border die, decorated it inside with the Amazing Paper Grace Richelieu Square dies and accented it with the beautiful flourish from the Delicate Tendril Border Dies set. I made a belly band to keep the card together and used the Amazing Paper Grace Splendid Trilliant Dies to decorate the band and although this die set is from another of Becca’s collections it worked really well here as it is a similar motif. The band was decorated with flowers and Christmas accents from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif dies.

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

My Project

Front of Card

For my project I cut a piece of white cardstock 5″ x 10″, scored at 2 1/5″ and 7 1/2″ along the long side before folding the card into a gatefold card measuring 5″ x 5″. I die cut each end of the card using the outer edge die and the inner decorative dies from the Paper Grace Delicate Tendril Border Dies to make the decorative sides. I die cut and embossed two border motifs using both edge dies and the inner decorative die out of white cardstock and adhered these to the sides. I then die cut four decorative flourishes – two from gold cardstock and two from white cardstock. I adhered the white dies behind the gold dies and then added the flourishes to each side by the folds as shown.

Inside Back of Card

For the inside cut a piece of white cardstock 4 3/4″ x 4 3/4″ and adhered it to the inside back of the card. I die cut a decorative frame out of white cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Richelieu Square dies and then added this to the inside back. I die cut two decorative square frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Square dies out of white cardstock and a plain frame out of gold cardstock. I stacked the decorative frames together and added the gold frame behind before adding this to the inside back over the decorative square. I die cut the small shadow circle out of gold cardstock and the decorative circle from white cardstock. I added the decorative circle over the gold circle and then added it to the centre of the square decorative dies. I die cut four flourishes from the Paper Grace Delicate Tendril Border Dies, trimmed them to the central motif and added them around the circle dies. I die cut four sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace Make a Scene dies – three from white cardstock and one from gold cardstock. I stacked the dies together with the gold die on top and then added the die inside the frame as shown.

To complete the card I added pearls to the decorative dies on the front and inside back of the cards.

Belly Band.

I cut a piece of white cardstock 1″ x 12″ and scored at 3 3/8″ and 8 5/8″ and fold to create the band. I then cut a piece of gold metallic card 3/4″ x 11″ and scored along each long side 1/8″ before adding to the white band. I then glued the band together making sure the band was loose enough to go over the pearls on the card.

I die cut and embossed the motif from the Amazing Paper Grace Splendid Trilliant dies out of white cardstock and adhered it to the front of the band. I die cut two flourishes from the Paper Grace Delicate Tendril Border Dies, trimmed them to the central motif added them to the top and bottom of the central rectangle of the motif. I have handcrafted the green and pink poinsettia out of flower shaping paper and green cardstock using the poinsettia dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Poinsettias and added it to the centre of the motif. I added some gold flourishes that I had trimmed along with holly and ivy from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motifs Dies set and the branches from the November 2020 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh.

To finish the belly band I added a gold pearl to the centre of the poinsettia and pearls to the decorative die.

Wishing You a Wonderful Kiwi Christmas

I have another Kiwi Christmas card to share with you today that features a gorgeous Tui using a stamp from Montarga Rubber Stamps. The Tui looks black but the colours when up close are purple/blue, green and bronze iridescent colours but as I am still learning about Copic markers I have stuck to blues and purple colours. You can find more on the Tui here.

I have used a range of Heartfelt Creations, Amazing Paper Grace and Honey Bee Stamps products to make this card and I was very happy with the result. I love how the tui on the flax branch just organically rises up from the poinsettia and Christmas foliage. I have die cut the leaf image from the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Cinch and Go Flowers in silver to represent the silver fern and make it uniquely New Zealand.

Amazing Paper Grace Let It Snowman

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

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.

Plus there is a cheeky kiwi peeking out from behind the Christmas tree with a wee present.

This card came together very quickly.

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

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.

I die cut the tree and presents out of white and gold cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace November 2021 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree. The tree and presents had their embellishments added and was then added to the front of the card inside the frame.

To finish I added the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace November 2021 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree in white backed with gold to go across the tree as shown.
