Amazing Paper Grace Joy to the World

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations4 Comments

I have another Christmas card to share with you today for my Christmas in July collection. I am really in love with this colour combination and I couldn’t stop playing with the Amazing Paper Grace Christmas collections. This card features the gorgeous classic Amazing Paper Grace Joy Flourish Doily from the Christmas Flourishes Collection by Becca Feeken. This set has everything needed to make a stunning card and all I have done is added some handmade poinsettias and leaves.

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

My Project

For my card I have made a base card of 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ out of white cardstock. I have layered gold and white cardstock to the front of the card and embossed the top white layer using the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder. I die cut the base of the Amazing Paper Grace Joy Flourish Doily out of gold cardstock and then die cut the edge using the base and the decorative die and adhered it to the edge of the base. I die cut three decorative dies out of white cardstock using the decorative die and the inner plain die to make a frame and stacked them together. I adhered them to the front of the base and added a single layer of the inner to the centre of the frame as shown. I die cut two ‘joy’ sentiments – one from gold cardstock and one from white cardstock and stacked them together with the gold sentiment on top. This was then added to the centre of the doily. I die cut the ‘TO THE WORLD’ sentiment out of a strip of 1/4″ strip of white cardstock and then matted it with gold cardstock and adhered it over the ‘joy’ sentiment.

I die cut several leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – November 2020- 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh out of green cardstock and added them to the bottom left and top right of the decorative doily. I handcrafted pink and green poinsettias from the same set and added them over the leaves. To finish I added some holly leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Joy Flourish Doily in a different green cardstock around the flowers and other leaves.

To finish I added some gold pearls to the centres of the flowers, around the flowers and on the doily.

Amazing Paper Grace Oh What Fun!

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations4 Comments

Today I am continuing my theme of gold, white, pink and green Christmas cards by going back in time and using the stunning November 2020 Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh with the Amazing Paper Grace Pinstripe Bracket Card Builder hot foil plate and the Amazing Paper Grace Mosaic Bracket Card Builder die set from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Medley Collection by Becca Feeken for a beautiful Christmas card. I love how easy it is to mix and match Amazing Paper Grace Christmas collections and I know that my friends and family will love their Christmas cards.

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

My Project

For my card today I have made a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ base card. I have cut a piece of white cardstock 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ and hot foiled one side using the Amazing Paper Grace Pinstripe Bracket Card Builder hot foil plate in gold foil. I adhered this to the front of the card with the foiled side at the top of the card. I then die cut two decorative brackets from the Amazing Paper Grace Mosaic Bracket Card Builder die set – one from gold card and one from white card. I adhered the two brackets together with the white bracket on top of the gold bracket which is slightly offset. I then created a base for the brackets by cutting a piece of white cardstock 5 1/2″ long and using one of the edge dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Mosaic Bracket Card Builder die set I die cut the edge to fit the mosaic brackets on. This bracket was then added to the bottom of the card – I had to trim the sides of the bracket. I then hot foiled the trim from the Amazing Paper Grace Pinstripe Bracket Card Builder hot foil plate set and die cut using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Mosaic Bracket Card Builder die set. This was then added to the top of the brackets to neaten the edge.

The sleigh ha been die cut out using gold and white cardstock using the November 2020 Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh. I added this to the front of the card using foam squares and then added pink and green poinsettias to the sleigh over green leaves.

To finish the card I used the sentiment die from the November 2020 Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh and added it to the top left of the card.

An Amazing Paper Grace Noel Christmas Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

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.

Amazing Paper Grace Square Postage Squares – A Pink Christmas

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I have seen many pink Christmas cards on Instagram this year and was inspired to create this gorgeous pink Christmas card using the new Amazing Paper Grace Postage Edge Squares from the Postage Edge Shapes Collection by Becca Feeken decorated with the very sweet little birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Etched Dies from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken.

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

My Project for Today

For my card I have created a base card of 5 3/4″ x 5 3/4″ and added layers of silver and pink card. I have die cut the largest square postage die from the Amazing Paper Grace Postage Edge Squares from the Postage Edge Shapes Collection by Becca Feeken out of silver cardstock and added a white layer embossed with the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish 2D Embossing Folder from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken. I then cut a frame using the 2nd largest postage edge die and straight edge die from silver cardstock and adhered to the front of the embossed layer as shown.

I have decorated the card with the birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Etched Dies from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken in pink tones. To complete the card I have used the small accents from the Amazing Paper Grace Winter Label Motifs Etched Dies from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken and pink poinsettias from the Amazing Paper Grace Shapeabilities Cinch and Go Poinsettia Etched Dies Etched Dies A Charming Christmas Collection by Becca Feeken and the sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace Happy Occasion Words Etched Dies from the Right Words Collection by Becca Feeken.
