Interactive Car Themed Birthday Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

One of my brother-in-laws loves VW cars and has his own VW Beetle which is his pride and joy, so I always try to make a birthday card featuring a VW car. I had an old Crafter’s Companion Die-sire ‘Circle Swing’ die set and this became a fun interactive base for the car. He also loves gardening and I have used Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery Honey Cuts and Lovely Layers – Dianthus Honey Cuts to decorate the card. The stamp is from Montarga Rubber Stamps shop and it fitted perfectly on the card framed with all the flowers and foliage.

My Project

For my project I die cut and assembled the base card following the instructions from the ‘Circle Swing’ die set. I used the Heartfelt Creations Snowy Pines pale green paper as a background for the decorative dies.

I stamped the VW car image using Memento ink on copic friendly cardstock. I coloured the image with Copic markers and then fussy cut the image. I placed this image on the inner circle that is facing the front when the card is folded up.

I die cut three ‘happy birthday’ dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Happy Occasions Words Dies, stacked them together and then added them to the back side of the inner circle.

I die cut the foliage and flowers from the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Spring Greenery Honey Cuts dies in different colours and assembled them before adding them to the sides of the card and both front and back of the inner circle. I coloured the Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Dianthus with purple and green inks before assembling them and adding them around the foliage as shown.

Amazing Paper Grace Cozy Home Scene

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations4 Comments

Today I have a special card to share with you that I have made for someone that has moved into our neighbourhood and in my street. I wanted to make a card to welcome her to our friendly neighbourhood and Amazing Paper Grace had the perfect dies to do this. I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Make a Scene collection – in particular the Amazing Paper Grace Make a Scene – Cozy Home Dies. I just love all the details and textures in these dies. I have also added a couple of cats from the Amazing Paper Grace Rolling Along Scene dies as these are coming soon to the household. And to finish the card I have added some Amazing Paper Grace Layered Cherry Blossoms to remind her that it was spring when she moved in. These are not colours I normally use but I am really pleased at how they worked together in this card.

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

My Project

I have used grey cardstock to make the card base using the Amazing Paper Grace Make a Scene Card Base dies. I have added some scenic pattern paper in the background to create my scene background and used acetate to hold the sentiment so the background is not blocked. For the house I have added yellow cardstock behind the windows and white trims to the windows and a white door. I also die cut the bottom half of the house out again in green cardstock to create grass. The fence has been die cut in white and I also added some green grass in front of the fence using the grass die from the Amazing Paper Grace Rolling Make a Scene Along Dies.

The measurements for the inserts are:

Back insert – acetate is 4 3/4″ x 3 1/4″

Middle insert – House is 4 3/4″ x 2 3/4″

Front insert – Fence is 4 3/4″ x 1 3/4″

For the front of the card scene I have added a white scallop frame and a blue rectangle decorative frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Scallop Facade Frame Dies. The blue frame is the same colour in the background paper and tides the whole card together.

To finish the front I have added some pink and yellow cherry blossoms from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Cherry Dies.

The Make a Scene interactive section has then been added to a top folding 5″ x 7″ grey card base. Inside the card I have added a piece of white cardstock to write on and made a label using the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Adornments dies out of white and grey cardstock. I have also hot foiled the ‘Welcome to the Neighbourhood’ sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace You Are My Home Hot Foil Plates on grey cardstock in blue foil.

Pink Fresh Studio Surprise Pop Up Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I was inspired to create this pop up card by a reel on Instagram from Pink Fresh Studio with instructions on how to make the card. The finished card looks amazing but it was incredibly easy to make and the instructions were very easy to follow. It took longer to die cut all the washi tape flowers and decorate the card! And I love how I have used the sentiments to create a little story for the recipient! This would make a fabulous birthday, wedding or any very special occasion card for someone very special.

‘Say Cheese’ Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette – Twin Lens

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I have another card to share with you featuring the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette – Twin Lens Etched Dies by Becca Feeken. This die is part of the 3D Vignette Collection that was released late last year and so retro! I love these dies as they can be used in so many different ways. You can make a 3D Vignette that is interactive and will fit in a standart 5″ x 7 envelope, or you can put them on a card front. I have used blues, black and silver in this 3D Vignette and the inside pull out cards are white and can be used to put photos or special notes and sentiments to personalise this very special gift. And a big bonus with this set is that it has a beautiful flower and leaf die so I did not need any other dies to complete this card.

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

My Project:

I have created a 3D vignette following the instructions with this die set using a black base to add pale blue and blue accents to bring the camera alive. I have used silver to highlight the lens, cord holder and the knobs. The flowers have been made using a 160 Ib flower shaping paper and the leaves are from green cardstock. I have die cut the words into the pull out cards and left them blank at this stage to personalise later.

Amazing Paper Grace | The 3D Vignette Collection

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Today I have a very sweet 3D Vignette Pet House and a card featuring the same die on a card using the 3D Vignette Collection – Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Pet House Etched Dies from 3D Vignette Collection by Becca Feeken. My pet houses are so pretty with flowers growing on either side of the house and a butterfly hovering over the animals with sparkly collars.

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

There are 22 dies in the 3D Vignette Pet House set.


My Projects for Today

For my 3D Vignette I have used different pink colours touched with gold for a delicate look. The flowers are from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken and the leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motifs Etched Dies from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken. The butterfly is from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken set.

For my card I have added some texture with an embossing folder to the background and added some decorative corners from the Amazing Paper Grace A2 Filigree Marquis Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken. This time I have used the dog and cat dies together for a very special card for an animal loving person. Once again I have used flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken and the leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motifs Etched Dies from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken. The butterfly is from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken set.

I have added a sparkle to the collar with a pink iridescent gem.

I have used small flowers in keeping with the size of the vignette and the soft pastel colours work well with the pink and gold background.

The butterfly has been cut out of vellum and coloured with Fossilised Amber ink.

The dog and cat are very good friends and wear matcing collars with some blue sparkle.

The pink flowers are a lovely contrast to the blue pet house.

Today’s projects were created with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

My Project for Today

I have made a pretty interactive card using the new Amazing Paper Grace Daisy Delight Garden Shutters A2 Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken.

I have created a frame using the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Rectangles Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection by Becca Feeken and the Amazing Paper Grace Picot Petite Rectangles Etched Dies Picot Petite Collection from Amazing Paper Grace by Becca Feeken and then added the interactive mechanism to create the shutter card.

I really love the lattice inserts and thought they would be gorgeous as a back drop to handmade daisies using the dies that come with the set combined with Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V flowers. Can you spot a sweet little bee from the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cardlets set? I really love making wings by hot foiling the wings on clear acetate and then die cutting them before adding them to the bee.

For a tutorial on how I have made these three dimensional flowers please go to the Amazing Paper Grace Encouragement Group.


Designers Tip:

In order to fit the birthday sentiments I angled the sentiments on the shutters and trimmed between ‘birth’ and ‘day’ in order to fit them on the shutters.

For my interactive card I have used a pretty decorative paper on the front and then added the flowers and leaves to create a spray of flowers across the card. The butterflies have gorgeous holographic wings to add some sparkle and shine to the card.


Designers Tip:

I found that it was better to have a heavier weight cardstock for the interactive base.
