I was asked to make a birthday card for my husband’s colleague for her father-in-law who is a keen golfer and here is the card that I made for her. I have created a z-fold card to set a scene for a golf course with trees, foliage, golfing accessories and a bird that symbolises the scoring at golf. The golfing images have been coloured with copic markers and I have used a range of different Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers dies to make my backdrop. This is such a fun interactive card and I know that the recipient will cherish this.

Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Cascade

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Today I have my final Christmas in July themed card. This time I have created a beautiful interactive card using the Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Cascade Collection by Becca Feeken from September 2020. I love making interactive cards and Becca has made it so easy with this collection. All the elements to make this card come with the Christmas Cascade Collection and I just added a frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Deco Bloom Dies for the kinetic element to sit in. I have also kept to my white, gold, pink and green theme for a very elegant card that I am sure will delight the recipient.

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

My Project

For my project today I have created a 5″ x 7″ card base out of white cardstock. I die cut two outer frames using the three outer dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Deco Bloom Dies out of white cardstock and adhered them together. I then die cut a frame out of gold cardstock using the plain outer frame dies and adhered the decorative frame to the plain gold frame before adding the frame to the card front with foam tape. I used one of the leftover inner rectangles and embossed it using the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Flourish Embossing Folder and added this to the centre of the frame. I then used the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Cascade Dies (you can find a video tutorial here on how to create the base: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6XAL_CovQrE) out of white cardstock. I have then decorated the flaps with embellishments from the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Frame Gala Dies and Holiday Word Blocks Dies from the same collection, and the flowers and leaves are from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – November 2020- 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh. To keep with my pink, gold, white and green theme I have blended some pink ink on the birds and on some spare white cardstock and then die cut the word blocks out again and inlaid the pink to gold words to highlight the words.

To finish I have added gold pearls to the centres of the flowers and the bird dies.
