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.

A Merry Santa Christmas

Christmas has snuck up on me very fast this year and I have been busy making last minute Christmas cards using Spellbinders and Amazing Paper Grace products. I like to give my doctor and his practice some nice chocolates and a handcrafted card. It has been a very hard year for the doctors and I have always received excellent support and help and I wanted to show my appreciation for all that they have done. They were so happy with my gift.

I have been inspired by Bibiana Cameron who has created beautiful Christmas cards using Glimmer Hot Foil background plates and Amazing Paper Grace Seasonal Motifs. For my project today I have created a shaped card using the Amazing Paper Grace Rectangle Postage Edge dies and added a gorgeous background using the lovely Spellbinders Glimmering Swag hot foil plate. I created a label using the Amazing Paper Grace Winter Label Motif dies and then added a very cute Spellbinders Santa. I have finished the card using the sentiment dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Happy Occasions Dies and some glitter to Santa’s hat with some Bearly Art Glue.

I then created a separate label and added it to my wrapped gift.

All Hearts Come Home for Christmas

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I have another Christmas card for you today featuring the Amazing Paper Grace All Hearts Come Home A2 Cardfront Etched Dies from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken from the Amazing Paper Grace The Christmas Flourishes Collection by Becca Feeken. I love the sentiment in this set because that is what Christmas is all about – spending time with friends and family!

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

My Project for Today

This Christmas card features the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace All Hearts Come Home A2 Cardfront Etched Dies from the Christmas Flourish Collection by Becca Feeken which did not need any embellishments as there is all you need in the one die set. I have paper pierced colours for the trees, presents and house and placed the die on a very pretty Christmassy, snowy paper. To finish I have added some glitter snow on the house and added glitter to the background.

I have used a Dries Clear glue on the roof of the house and then added some fine crystal glitter for a glittery snowy effect.

I die cut the outline die twice to get some dimension with the trees, santa with reindeer and presents.
