Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Birthday Wishes

Kia ora Koutou

The first Amazing Paper Grace collection by Becca Feeken’s for Spellbinders was just gorgeous! The filigree details on her dies were stunning and the ability to emboss them just elevated them to a whole new level! For my card today I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace Pocket Dies from this collection to create a beautiful detailed background for a hot foiled sentiment, pretty flowers and finished with butterflies and pearls and of course a light dusting of glitter on the flowers.

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

My Project

My base card is a side folding 5″ x 7″ card made from white cardstock. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″ and die cut the pockets from the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace Pocket Dies using just the decorative insets and made sure I embossed both ends, I then die cut 4 pockets – two from white cardstock and two were from gold cardstock. the white pockets were embossed and the gold dies were adhered under the white dies slightly offset, before adding them to the decorative die cuts on the white panel. I then die cut the inner section out of the blue cardstock using the edge dies to cover the mid section. The entire panel was then added to a piece of 5″ x 7″ blue card.

I created a medallion by die cutting two ends of a piece of white cardstock using the half circle decorative die and the outer edge die from white cardstock. I die cut two separate medallion dies out of gold cardstock and added them under the white die cut sides slightly offsetting the gold dies. I then die cut a shadow out of blue cardstock using just the edge dies and adhered this behind the decorative dies. This medallion was added to the front of the card with foam tape.

I made a band using a combination of gold, white and blue cardstocks and added it across the centre of the card and wrapped over the edges and secured with double sided tape. This was then added to the front of the base card.

I die cut and embossed two decorative label dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace Dies from white cardstock, stacked them together before adding the label across the band with foam tape.

The sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Crescent Band Hot Foil Plate set and has been reverse hot foiled with Aura foil and die cut using the small circle die from the Amazing Paper Grace Richelieu Square Dies. I die cut another two plain white circles which were all stacked together and added the foiled sentiment on top. I added the sentiment to the centre of the decorative label.

The leaves and rose buds and flowers have been handcrafted using the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies. The leaves were cut from light green cardstock and I have added Mowed Lawn ink to the edges before shaping the with my fingers and then adding them to the top left of the sentiment. I have used a soft floral shaping paper for the flowers and coloured them with a soft pink ink before assembling them. I have used the sepal de from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Flowers III Dies on the rosebuds before adding them over the leaves.

I added small blue flowers made using dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies around the roses and leaves.

To finish the card I have made three butterflies from the Amazing Paper Grace Garden Shutter Butterfly Bliss Etched Dies from blue, white and gold cardstocks with black bodies and some pearls on the decorative dies. A light dusting of Sparkle dust on the flowers and leaves finishes the card.
