Today my card combines two of my favourite methods of cardmaking – die cutting and flower making using Amazing Paper Grace dies. I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month September 2020 Lattice Quadrante as the base for pretty flowers and an elegant sentiment and finished with some gorgeous butterflies. I love how easy it is to create beautiful, elegant and classic cards with Amazing Paper Grace dies.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.
My Project
For my card I have created a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base out of white cardstock. I have then layered gold, white and pale blue cardstock to the front of the card. I cut a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller than the blue panel and die cut the top right and bottom left using the decorative insert corner inserts from the Amazing Paper Grace Lattice Quadrante dies. I then die cut four more stand alone corner dies using both the decorative inserts and the edge dies – two from blue cardstock and two from gold cardstock. I adhered the gold corners under the blue corners slightly offsetting the gold to allow a peak of gold. I then adhered the corners over the previously cut corners before adding this panel to the front of the card.
I die cut the leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go III dies out of green cardstock and adhered them over the bottom left corner lattice. I die cut, coloured and shaped the flowers from the same die set, assembled them and added them over the leaves. I die cut small filler flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri dies and coloured them in yellow and blue inks, I shaped them and added wire stamens through the centres of the flowers, trimmed the wires and added them to around the larger pink flowers. To finish the bouquet I added some gold leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Pinkaboo Trellis Dies.
I die cut three ‘With Love’ sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace With With Love Regalia Card Builder Dies – two from pale blue cardstock and one from gold cardstock. These dies were stacked together with the gold die on top and then added to the top right lattice corner as shown.
I stamped the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Lyrical Layered Florals Stamp and Die Set in embossing ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. This was then die cut with the coordinating die and I also die cut a plain die and added the embossed sentiment on top. I added this over the die cut sentiment using some foam squares.
To finish the cards I made two butterflies from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Dies out of vellum and accented with gold bodies. These were added around the sentiment as shown.
