Amazing Paper Grace Pearls and Lace with Love

I have another soft and romantic card full of pearls and lace to share with you today featuring the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace March 2022 Die of the Month – Bella Ovalette. I have been going through my stash of papers and dies and found this absolutely beautiful pearl embossed paper that my daughter had bought for me from Sydney many years ago. It is such a soft and pretty silver/blue colour and was perfect as the background to the stunning dies. Everything is included in this Bella Ovalette die set including the flowers and leaves and all I needed to add extra was the sentiment from Beccy’s Place. Lots of different layers on top of the embossed paper makes this card so ‘amazing’ in real life.

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

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 5″ x 7″ card out of white cardstock. I trimmed the blue/silver paper to 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″ and added it to the front of the card.

I die cut the one decorative base out of white cardstock using the large decorative frame and then die cut two decorative frames using the decorative frame and the inner rectangle frame from white cardstock. These were stacked together and then added to the card front. I then die cut 4 decorative rectangles using the plain rectangle die, the middle decorative die and the inner plain die out of white cardstock. I stacked these together and added them inside the larger decorative frame.

I die cut two inner decorative accents using the small accent die and the circle die and adhered them together.

Using the decorative accent as a guide for placement I stamped the sentiment from Beccy’s Place on one of the discarded inner panels from the rectangle dies using Tuxedo Black ink. This stamped inner panel was then added to the inside of the rectangle frames.

I die cut the flowers out of soft flower shaping paper and coloured one set with light blue ink and the other set with light yellow inks. After spritzing the petals with water I shaped them using a small and medium ball stylus on foam mats. Once dry these were arranged on the bottom right and the top left of the rectangle frame as shown.

I die cut the leaves from the light green cardstock and added them around the flowers as shown.

To finish I added pearls to the flower centres and on the die cuts.

Amazing Paper Grace Oh What Fun!

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.
