Amazing Paper Grace 3D Pop Up Bouquet Card

I really enjoy playing the Amazing Paper Grace Pop Up 3D Vignettes as they are so versatile and can be used any way. Plus they can be folded up to fit in a standard envelope – a win win in my book. Becca Feeken is an amazing and innovative designer and this Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month January 2020 – 3D Pop Up Bouquet is no exception. I have made a pop up card as well as making a conventional card (keep following me to see what I have made) using this die set. Everything is included in this die set to make a complete card and all I needed to do was choose my colour combination and the sentiment.

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

My Project

For my project today I have made a 3D Pop Up Vignette using the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month January 2020 – 3D Pop Up Bouquet following the instructions given with the packaging. I have used a mix of gold and glitter gold cardstock with white cardstock to make the flowers. For the base of the card I have die cut another front and back out of gold cardstock and added behind the white dies slightly offsetting them so there is a hint of gold on the base of the card front and back.

The sentiment is from the Beccy’s Place Magnolia Stamp Set which perfectly fitted the tag that goes with this die set.

To finish this gorgeous bouquet I added gold and white pearls to the centres of the flowers depending on the combination of colours of the flowers and I added a small white ribbon bow to the tag on the front and added a small gold flower and a gold pearl in the centre. White pearls were also added to the front of the ‘vase’ to complete the pop up card.

I had so much fun using the Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid Press Plate making different backgrounds that coordinate with the flowers that I have made. My card today uses the Summer Shower and Eucalyptus inks that I used to colour the leaves in the Pink Fresh Studio Delighted For You Stamp for the diagonal plaid and it makes the whole card look cohesive and balanced. I also ink blended the lighter yellow and blue tones of these colours for the background inside the frame which helps to make the flowers pop more from the background. I also added an extra layer behind the flowers to give the flowers more stability and dimension and did the same for the sentiment. To finish my card I added some Pink Fresh Studio Glacier gems for some sparkle around the sentiment.

Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Baby Boy

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I have a sweet baby boy card to share with you today featuring the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month October 2019 One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies as the base for the oversized ‘Sweet’ word from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies and the gorgeous stork from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace Layered Bundle of Joy Dies. The florals and small leaves are in the One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies and all I needed to add was some more foliage from the Amazing Paper Grace Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies.

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

My Project

For my card I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card out of white cardstock. I added the lovely blue floral paper from Mintay to the front of the card. I die cut the frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month October 2019 One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies out of white cardstock and added it to the front with foam tape. I used the same die to cut out the bottom half of the die out of blue wood effect paper and then added the paper to the inside of the frame as shown.

I die cut the inner decorative banner out of the blue wood effect paper and added it to the panel that goes across the front of the card. I then die cut a piece of white cardstock using the inner plain die and sponged the edges with blue ink before adding over the decorative blue frame. I die cut the letters to spell ‘Baby Boy” out of dark blue cardstock and added it to the panel as shown.

For the sentiment I die cut the large ‘Sweet’ sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies out of white cardstock and ink blended an ombre effect using Faded Jeans Distress Ink. I then die cut another sentiment out of dark blue cardstock, added it behind the ombre sentiment and adhered it to the top half of the card.

I die cut the stork from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Bundle of Joy out of white cardstock and coloured it with grey and orange inks. I die cut the bundle out of white cardstock and ink blended it with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and added it to the stork. To finish the stork I used a black pen to add the eye. This stork was then added to the card on the right using foam squares.

I die cut some foliage from the Amazing Paper Grace My Sweet Friend Etched Dies out of light green cardstock, trimmed the foliage and then added it to the bottom right and top left of the sentiment panel as well as on the bundle on the stork. I die cut the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month October 2019 One Kind Word Alphabet Etched Dies out of soft flower shaping paper and coloured them with lavender and yellow inks. These were spritzed and shaped and once dry were added over the foliage around the central panel and on the bundle. I coloured the leaves with green ink and added them around the flowers.

To finish the card I added small pearls to the centres of the flowers and to the decorative panel as shown.

Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Christmas Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

My Christmas card today is full of layers, textures and dimension created using several different dies from Amazing Paper Grace. The hero of the card is the gorgeous and very versatile Amazing Paper Grace Pop Up 3D Vignette Animal House Dies. This die set can be used as a cat or dog house but can equally be used as a birdhouse because of the circle die that goes with this set. I have paired this bird house with the sweet birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Dies and Christmas foliage and flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif Dies. The texture on this card comes from the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder, the background die – A2 Amazing Paper Grace Corner Cotillion Dies and the embossed woodgrain finish on the base of the bird house.

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

My Project

To create my card I have created a top folding 5″ x 6″ base card out of white cardstock. I added a layer of gold cardstock and then added embossed a piece of 4 3/4″ x 5 3/4″ blue cardstock with the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder before adding it to the front of the card. I die cut two decorative dies from the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Corner Cotillion dies out of white cardstock and added it over the blue embossed layer.

To make the birdhouse I die cut the base die out of brown cardstock and embossed it with an old woodgrain embossing folder from my stash. I then sponged some brown ink on the edges to create more depth to the embossing. I then die cut an inner base out of blue cardstock using the plain die and then adhered it to the base house die. I then die cut two decorative fronts – one from white cardstock and one from gold cardstock. I then die cut the circle out of both dies before adhering them together with the gold die behind the white die slightly offset. This decorative front was then added to the base of the birdhouse using foam strips. I die cut the roof out of brown cardstock and sponged the edges with brown ink before adding the two white edges to create the ‘fringe’. The roof was then added to the top of the birdhouse with foam strips and then the entire bird house was adhered to the card front.

I die cut the birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Dies out of white, gold and blue cardstocks and then assembled them. I added some holly and ivy to the birds using the dies from this set then I die cut four flourishes from the same die set out of gold cardstock. I stacked two dies together to create two flourishes. I added a flourish to the top right of the bird house and the other to the bottom left of the birdhouse. The birds were then added over the flourishes using several layers of foam tape as required to secure the birds as shown.

I die cut and assembled the foliage dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Label Motif Dies using brown, red and green cardstocks. These were then added under and over the flourishes and the birds. I die cut the poinsettia flowers out of white cardstock and coloured them with blue ink before assembling them with two layers of petals each. I added a gold centre to each flower and then adhered them to the base of the birds.

I made the sentiment out of white and cardstock using the sentiment strips from the Amazing Paper Grace Sugarplum Tweets Dies and adhered it to the birdhouse with foam strips.

To finish the card I added Simply White Nuvo Drops to the flourishes on the background dies and on the birdhouse front.

Pink Fresh Studio July 2024 Challenge

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I am enjoying playing with the Pink Fresh Studio Challenge July 2024 this month. This month the challenge is using Geometric designs on your projects and the coordinating inks are: Cherry Blossom, Mimosa, Marigold, Summer Shower & Eucalyptus.

I have gone totally outside my comfort zone with my first (hopefully) card for this challenge and gone with a black and white theme using the Pink Fresh Studio Stained Glass Die as my geometric element. I have die cut two dies – one from silver glitter paper and one from white cardstock and mixed up this die by putting the white die on top of the silver die upside down to create even more patterns with the die. I have also used the Pink Fresh Studio Essentials Stitched Scallop Square Dies as a diamond in the centre of the card to tie in the diamond geometric theme and also provide a focal point for the sentiment which has been heat embossed with white on black cardstock.

I have coloured the floral images from the Pink Fresh Studio Delighted For You Stamp set using a no line colouring technique and after die cutting the images I have gone around the edges with black Copic marker to help the images blend into the black background. I am not a fan of using grey colours to colour flowers white and for the flowers I used the colours that Dawn from Wplus9 Design demonstrated here and I was very pleased with my first effort. I also used Dawn’s method of adding glitter to the images but next time I will use a much finer glitter but it still looks stunning in real life.

Some silver pearls finish the card and focus on the sentiment.

Floral Garden Birthday Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I started this card a while ago and it did not look right so I put it to one side for a while and then came back to it to finish it off. I love creating flowers using the Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers dies and after creating my base with Amazing Paper Grace dies and patterned paper from Mintay I added a riot of flowers and foliage from different Lovely Layers sets to create a paper flower garden. A garden would not be complete without birds and bees and and so I have added a couple of birds and a bee to finish this floral birthday card. Somehow all the colours seemed to work together an is reminiscent of a English country garden fill of wildflowers.

I was recently asked to make a birthday card for someone who loves alsatian and bichon frise dogs and off course flowers. So I pulled out a mix of different brands to make the flowers and background which worked well together to create a wonderful garden for the dogs. I purchased the dog images from Etsy and printed them on watercolour paper and fussy cutting them to add to the card. The recipient of the card was thrilled with it.

Roses and Butterfly Pink Fresh Studio Challenge June 2024

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have my first entry for this month’s Pink Fresh Studio Monthly Challenge for June 2024. This month the challenge is to create an ombre or gradient element and the ink colours are Waterfall, Slumber, Sparkling Rose, Mimosa, Lemon Whip & Soft Lilac.

For my card I have really embraced the gorgeous rainbow colours on both the flowers and card base by creating rainbow coloured roses and a hot foiled rainbow coloured panel using the new Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid BetterPress Plate on the background of the card.

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card out of white cardstock. I then cut another piece of white cardstock the same size and used the Pink Fresh Studio Diagonal Plaid BetterPress plate to emboss this card without colour using my Spellbinders Platinum machine. This embossed panel was then added to the front of the card base.

I then hot foiled another piece of white cardstock using Spellbinders Opal foil which acted as a type of resist and then created a rainbow effect by using all the inks in this challenge. I trimmed a piece of this rainbow card to 5 1/2″ x 1 1/2″. I die cut the decorative edge from white cardstock using the Pink Fresh Studio Lacey Edges 1 die set and adhered this behind the rainbow strip. This panel was then added to the left side of the card. I finished this edge by adding a very thin strip of white cardstock along the edge with the lace edge.

I stamped the rose image from the Pink Fresh Studio Garden Roses set using VersaMark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing Powder. I then coloured the roses in a rainbow effect using the stencil and the challenge inks. I die cut this image out and then stacked the die with another 3 plain dies withe the coloured image on top before adding to the front of the card.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments Hot Foil Plate in gold foil and die cut it with the coordinating die. I stacked two plain dies with the foiled sentiment on top and added it to the bottom left of the card over the roses.

I hot foiled the butterflies from the Pink Fresh Studio Small Butterflies Hot Foil Plate in Matte Gold foil and coloured them with Mimosa and Sparkling Rose inks before die cutting with the coordinating die. I added a butterfly using foam squares under the wings.

To finish the card I have added Glacier Jewels around the sentiment and flowers.

Amazing Paper Grace Congrats Fanfare Elegant Rectangles

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

Welcome back for another Amazing Paper Grace post. Today I have gone back to my favourite style – ivory and gold classic and elegant card featuring the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2020 Fanfare Elegant Rectangles Etched Dies. I so love the lacy and delicate dies that are perfect to add pretty handcrafted flowers made with the flower dies that came in the same set. This would be the perfect wedding card that will make a wonderful keepsake for the wedding album.

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″ base card out of white cardstock. I then added some gold cardstock to the front and layered some ivory pearl card over it after scoring two lines on each side 1/8″ apart.

I die cut to outer decorative frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2020 Fanfare Elegant Rectangles Etched Dies – one from ivory pearl card and one from gold card. I trimmed the gold frame in half and added it behind the ivory frame and then adhered it to the front of the card.

I die cut 8 medallions from the same die set out of ivory pearl card and trimmed 6 of them in half. These motifs are designed to be trimmed and can be slotted on to edges for a decorative finish. I added four flourishes to each corner of the card and then added a lacy decorative edge to each side of the inner cut out and I then added the 6 lacy edges around the inner cut out and adhered the pretty lace edged inner cut out to the centre of the frame with foam tape.

I die cut an oval frame out of ivory pearl card using the small oval dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Oval Etched Dies and added the frame to the centre of the inner panel with foam tape and the inner oval to the centre of the frame.

I die cut the leaves out of light green cardstock using the leaf dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Flowers III Etched Dies and trimmed them to add to the top left and bottom right of the oval frames. I die cut small leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motif Etched Dies out of gold glitter cardstock and added them around the green leaves.

I die cut the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month July 2020 Fanfare Elegant Rectangles Etched Dies out of soft flower shaping paper. These were coloured with pink, yellow and blue inks, shaped and assembled with wire pollens. The wires were trimmed and the flowers were added over the tleaves.

I die cut the butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motif Etched Dies using the ivory pearl card and yellow pearl card with the body made from gold glitter cardstock. The butterfly was assembled and added to the bottom of the fluted classic frame.

I die cut four sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2020 Elegant Infinity Etched Dies – three from ivory pearl card and one from gold cardstock. These were stacked together with the gold die on top and then added to the centre of the oval fluted classic frame.

To complete the card I added pearls to the decorative frame and the corner motifs.

Amazing Paper Grace Victorian Crest Shabby Chic Birthday Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I was recently asked to do a birthday card for my husband’s boss and the brief was that the recipient loved fashion. I purchased some gorgeous fashion related papers and ephemera and teamed it up with the Amazing Paper Grace Victoriana Crest Dies to create a very romantic, shabby chic birthday card. I have also used just one floral die set – the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies to create three different flowers which were the aged using Perfect Pearls to further enhance the shabby chic feel of the card.

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

My Project

I created a side folding 5″ x 7″ base card out of white cardstock. I layered rose pink cardstock, floral paper, ivory pearl paper and striped paper to create the background to the embellishments.

I die cut the large decorative frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Victoriana Crest Etched Dies out of rose pink cardstock and embossed it for more depth and dimension. I then added this to the front of the card using foam tape. I then die cut two inner floral frames from the same die set out of ivory pearl paper, stacked them together and them added it to the inside of the frame.

I fussy cut the elements from the Mintay Her Story Paper and added them to the inside left of the frame using foam tape to add more dimension to some of the images.

I die cut the leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched dies out of soft flower shaping paper and coloured them with Sage and Eucalyptus inks to tie in with the colours on the pattern paper. These were spritzed lightly before shaping and when dry were added to the bottom left of the frame over the ephemera.

I die cut the rose petals using the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud Etched dies out of soft flower shaping paper. I coloured the roses using Coral Berry and Lemon Whip inks before spritzing them, shaping and assembling. into two roses. The small rose petals were coloured with Ballet Slipper, Strawberry and Grapevine inks and the small pale pink flowers were coloured with Lemon Whip and Cherry Blossom inks. I used wire pollens for the centres of the small flowers. When the flowers were assembled I added Copper, Bronze, and Pearl Perfect Pearls to the flowers using a water brush to get the antique look I was after. Once all the flowers were assembled and completely dry I added them over the leaves.

I then added more floral and foliage ephemera from the pattern paper around the flowers and leaves.

I stamped the sentiment from the amazing Paper Grace Lyrical Layers Clear Stamp and Die set on ivory pearl paper with Wow embossing ink and heat embossed it with Rose Gold Embossing Powder. I die cut the sentiment out using the coordinating die and another couple of plain dies. These were stacked together with the sentiment on top and then added to the card as shown.

To finish my card I added pearls to the outer and inner decorative frames and on the chair.
