Amazing Quilty Hugs

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

I really love it when I can make two different designs using one set of die cutting. In January I created a card using the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilt Etch Dies in a gold and white combination. Using the left over pieces from that card I was able to make a totally different design using from the same colour combinations and similar flowers and butterflies. This time I have recessed the ‘quilted’ panel and added some pretty flowers and a butterfly to create a very elegant card.

You can see the other card here for a comparison.

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

My Project

I have created a base card of 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ out of white cardstock. I then cut a piece of white cardstock slightly smaller than the base card and die cut the recess out using the outline die from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilt Etch Dies. I then embossed this using the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel Embossing Folder and then adhering it to the front of the card using some foam tape. I added the quilted panel to the recess and decorated the card with flowers made using the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies and Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go IV Etched Dies and a butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection.

To complete the card I have added the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilt Etch Dies in gold to the bottom of the card.

I have coloured the vellum using Saltwater Taffy and Kitsch Flamingo inks for the butterfly before adding the gold accents.

I have stacked the sentiment dies for more depth and dimension.

I have added the embossed layer to the front of the card using foam tape to create the recess for the ‘quilted’ panel.

3D Pillar Display Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations3 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

I have something very special to share with you today.. I love making my own paper flowers using dies from Heartfelt Creations and Amazing Paper Grace. But sometimes the flowers are really bulky and will not fit into the clear dimensional boxes from Heartfelt Creations. So I came across this 3D Pillar Display design from Mixed Up Crafts and it was perfect for showcasing the floral bouquet that I had made. I adapted the card to make the pillars deeper as my flowers were very dimensional – the sides are 1 1/2″ deep as opposed to 1″ deep. And I also put in a little box at the base of the card to hide the ends of the bouquet of flowers and added some moss in it. I love this sentiment that I used as it is so versatile and the card can fit so many different occasions.

You can find the instructions here: https://youtu.be/aymMouDji8A.

I have taken a class from my fellow Design Team member Rajni Chawla on how to create several different types of Sweet Peas and I was thrilled with how my sweet peas turned out. She also taught us how to create a bouquet using florist wire and tape and this was my first bouquet that I made.

Because this card was bulky I created a box to put the card in. I again used a pattern from Mixed Up Crafts and decorated it with dies from Heartfelt Creations and embossing from Amazing Paper Grace. Once again I adapted the box to make it deeper – The bottom of the box is now 1 1/2″ deep instead of 1″.

An Amazing Paper Grace Valentine

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I can now share this Valentine’s Day card that I made as the recipient has now received it. I have used a wide range of Amazing Paper Grace dies to create this beautiful pink and silver card. And as I had most of the flowers already made it did not take me very long to create and I know that the giver of this card was very happy with it.

My Project

I have made a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. The embossed layer was coloured pink by adding Kitsch Flamingo ink to the Amazing Paper Grace Embossing Folder – Orange Peel and that was layered over a silver mat. I have layered a white and silver rectangle panel using dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Rectangle Elegant Twist Etched Dies. I added another layer of embossing out of white cardstock using an old Swiss Dots embossing folder.

I have die cut the heart from the Amazing Paper Grace December Die of the Month Dec 22 Sweetheart Envelope & Notecard Set in white and backed it with some beautiful pearlescent vellum and this was added to the panel on an angle. The words are from the Amazing Paper Grace Merry Everything Words Etched Dies and I have used Picked Raspberry to create the ombre effect before adding the words to the card front as shown.

To complete the card I have made flowers and leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched , Amazing Paper Grace Summer Labels Motifs Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Fall Labels Motifs Etched Dies and the butterflies are from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters Etched Dies.

I have used a mix of dimensional flowers and flat flowers to create depth and dimension.

The butterflies have been made using vellum that has been coloured using Picked Raspberry ink before adding the silver accents.

Amazing Paper Grace Quilty Hugs and Daisies

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

We are in ‘summer time’ here in New Zealand but since the start of the new year we have had a lot of rain and little sunshine so I thought I would cheer myself up with a bright and summery card using the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace Quilted Stained Glass Window Etched Dies from Home Sweet Quilt Collection by Becca Feeken from the The Home Sweet Quilt Collection. I used a cheerful yellow and white combination and decorated my card with handcrafted daisies and a sweet butterfly. This card certainly brightened my craft room!

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

My Project:

For my project today I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base from Snowdrift cardstock. I have embossed a piece of 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ Chamomile cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel Quilt Embossing Folder and layered it on top of the card. I have created a semi-circle using the quilt dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Quilted Stained Glass Window Etched Dies and inlaid with Beeswax and Chamomile to achieve a starburst effect. I have placed this semicircle on my card front and added a lace band to the left using the Amazing Paper Grace Romantic Slimline Borders Etched Dies for my flowers to lie on.

To complete my card I have handcrafted daisies from the Amazing Paper Grace Daisy Delight Garden Shutters A2 Card Base Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V flowers and added them to the band on the left of the semi-circle. I added leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – August 2022 Peekaboo Trellis from Rainforest and Peridot cardstock.

No floral card is complete without a butterfly and I have added a sweet butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies.

Finally I have added the sentiment dies from the mazing Paper Grace Log Cabin and Flower Mini Quilts Etched Dies in gold.

There is a tutorial in the Amazing Paper Grace – Encouragement Community on how I have made these flowers here. If you are not a member feel free to ask to join and don’t forget to answer the questions.

I have used two different colours of yellow to represent the sun.

I have die cut two sentiments – one from Snowdrift and one from gold cardstock and stacked them together with the gold on top before adding them to the card front.

I have used the same colours from the card in the butterfly to help with tying the whole card together.

The green foliage helps the daisies really pop on the side of the card.

I have used two different sets of daisy flower dies to create depth and dimension for my florals.

Amazing Paper Grace November 2022 Die of the Month

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

The Amazing Paper Grace November 2022 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Alarm Clock is so elegant and reminded me of the beautiful and ornate French Ormulu clocks that often had beautiful hand painted floral images and sometimes flowers. For my projects today I have used pearlised cardstock and a pretty floral image in the centre of the clock combined with handcrafted flowers to replicate the look of a porcelain china antique clock.

Today’s creations were created with the dies supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.

There are 21 cutting dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Alarm Clock.

My Projects Today:

Today I have a card and a 3D vignette using the Amazing Paper Grace November 2022 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Alarm Clock. I have paired the clock with Amazing Paper Grace Picot Petite Rectangles Etched Dies Picot Petite Collection from Amazing Paper Grace by Becca Feeken and the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Rectangles Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken for an elegant card. Both projects have handcrafted flower embellishments.

I have used a transfer sheet with a pretty floral spray for the centre of the clocks and have coloured the flowers and leaves to coordinated with the floral image. To complete the porcelain china look I have painted the flowers with clear gloss gel and sprinkled some ultrafine crystal glitter over for a pretty shiny and sparkly finish.

The flowers have been created using the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken, Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken, Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Flowers III and the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud.

I have die cut two layers of the clock hands to help create some dimension and allow the clock hands to stand out.

I have added a gold gem to the middle of the clock.

Today I have something very different to share with you. The Craft-A-Flower layering dies from Altenew are just beautiful and I could not resist the Antique Rose layering dies. These dies do make flower making so incredibly easy and a lovely break from making dimensional flowers.

I have created the base of the card using the Altenew – Diamond Stars 3D Embossing Folder.

I have created a band across the card using the Altenew – Creative Edges: Lace Die. The diamond foil is from Amazing Paper Grace Diamonetta Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken and the sentiment is from the Pink Fresh Studio – Perfect Sentiments.

I have used a combination of cardstock from Spellbinders and Creative Expressions Foundation cardstock. I have also die cut some leaves from vellum for a different texture.
