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.

I am learning so much about quilting patterns using the Amazing Paper Grace The Home Sweet Quilt Collection – I never realised that there were so many different combinations you can get with one pattern! I have been late to the ink blending party and I have admired all those that ink blend with ease. Today I have a pretty pink and feminine card to share with you featuring the gorgeous Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Eight Point Star Etched Dies from Home Sweet Quilt Collection by Becca Feeken. I have ink blended the background for a soft and romantic feel to the card and allow the quilted pattern to shine. Handcrafted flowers, a sweet butterfly and white satin bows add a shabby chic finish.

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

My Project

For my card I have created a base card of 5 3/4″ x 5 3/4″. I have added some Picked Raspberry ink to one side of the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel Quilt Embossing Folder before embossing the white cardstock. This gave me a soft pink embossed card to add over a silver layer on the card front. I have added white and silver layers over the embossed card using the largest dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Postage Edge Squares Etched dies. I have ink blended the backgrounds of the Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Eight Point Star Etched Dies before adding the outline and decorative dies in white on top. I decided to keep the decorative elements to a minimum and just create a star. I have used inked vellum for the centre motifs and then added the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Quilty Hugs Sentiments Clear Stamp which has been die cut using the sentiment strip die from the Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Eight Point Star Etched Dies. To finish I have added a mix of dimensional and flat flowers using the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motifs Etched Dies,mazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motifs Etched Dies from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken, Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Flowers V Etched Dies. The butterfly has been made from vellum and is from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Etched Dies. I finished the card with pearls around the edge of the quilted motif.

I put all the base pieces into the pattern and taped them together so I could ink blend the pieces from the centre out. This way I was able to get an even blend.

I inked the centre background motif on vellum with picked Raspberry. I then layered the vellum onto white cardstock before adding to the centre of the card as shown.

I die cut 4 layers of the sentiment die and stacked them together for more dimension.

Designers Tip:

I would place the quilt bases on the card front first before adding the outline and decorative inlay dies to the front. I ended up adding a row of pearls to kept the outer edge straight.

Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Home Quilt Congrats Mini Slimline Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Happy New Year!

The new Amazing Paper Grace The Home Sweet Quilt Collection is just stunning with so many different combinations to make gorgeous cards. Quilting is one of the few crafts I never really got into as I struggled with sewing large volumes of fabric. But with the Amazing Paper Grace The Home Sweet Quilt Collection it is so easy to create paper quilts with a lot less stress and mess!! Today I am using the French Braid dies from the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Panels Etched Dies to create a mini-slimline card.

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

My Project

For my card today I have used the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Panels Etched Diesto create a mini-slimline card. I have created a background of white, blue and silver layers to make the base for the paper ‘quilt’. I die cut three ‘quilts’ using the decorative die and the outline die – two from blue cardstock and one from silver cardstock. I then die cut the white background using the outer die from the set to which I added the silver outline die. I inlaid blue pieces to the outside of the quilt and silver squares down the centre of the ‘quilt’. I then added the blue outline die to the ‘quilt’ but upside down to create a plaid pattern.

To decorate the ‘quilt’ I have made some daisies using the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V flower dies. The filler flowers have been made using the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies and the leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Lilies Etched Dies.

To complete the card I have used the ‘Congrats’ die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month March 2020 Elegant Infinity and the butterfly is from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies.

I have added some glitter to the flowers using clear gloss gel medium and a paintbrush for some extra sparkle.

The sentiment has been die cut twice – one from silver cardstock and one from blue cardstock. These have been stacked together with the silver on top.
