Today’s card features some layering with the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Sampler and Candlewick Classics collection by Becca Feeken. These collections are among my all time favourite collections because they work so well together and create beautiful designs and textures that are timeless and classic. I have added some soft pink handmade flowers and very pale lemon flowers on green leaves to continue the romantic feel to this card. Who wouldn’t want to receive this card!

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

My Project

The base card is a side folding 5″ x 7″ card made from Alabaster cardstock. To create the base for the layered dies I have matted gold and Alabaster card to the front of the card and for extra interest I have scored a border using my scoreboard on the top Alabaster layer. I then matted gold cardstock with some ivory embossed paper from my stash and added it to the card front.

I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Rectangle and Square Candlewick Classics dies to create frames out of the Alabaster cardstock. I have added a medium rectangle frame on the card front and added the plain centre. I then added a square frame to the front of the rectangle frame. but turning it around 90 degrees with foam tape. I die cut two of the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Canopy Etched Dies – one from gold cardstock and one from Alabaster card. I stacked these together with the gold frame on top and then wrapped the Canopy frame around a small rectangle frame to the top of the previous frames with foam tape. To finish the layering I have added the plain insert for placing the sentiment on the card.

I die cut four ‘With Love’ sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Card Builder Etched Dies – three from Alabaster cardstock and one from gold cardstock. These were stacked together with the gold sentiment on top and then added to the middle of the layered frames.

I have die cut the leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Flowers III Etched Dies and Cinch and Go Five Etched Dies out of two shades of green cardstock. I added some Mowed Lawn inks to the leaves and then added them around the top left of the frame.

The flowers have been made using the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Five Etched Dies and Grand Cinch And Go Flowers Etched Dies using some soft flower shaping paper. For a harmonious colour palatte I have coloured the big flowers with pinks and light green/yellow inks and then used the same light green/yellow ink on the smaller flowers. I have added flowers over the leaves and added Crystal Stickles to the larger flowers and Frosted Lace for the smaller flowers and pearls to the centre of the small flowers.

To finish the card I have added pearls to the Candlewick Canopy die, the square and rectangle dies and some pearl trim from my stash around the top matted layer and a single pearl flower inside the frame by the sentiment.

Layering Dies with Amazing Paper Grace

My card today has been cased from a card I saw on YouTube which I have always loved. However, I have switched it up by making a square card with matted layers and dimension for the base of the card and using a different hero die – the Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Doily Etched Dies – and I have also used handcrafted flowers to embellish the card. I have also used a stunning pink and ivory colour combination that really shows the delicacy and elegance of the Amazing Paper Grace dies.

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

My Project

For my card I have created a top folding 6″ x 6″ base card out of white cardstock. I then layered ivory pearl cardstock with pearl rose gold cardstock followed by ivory pearl cardstock and pink flocked pattern paper that has been added using fun foam.

I die cut the middle sized rectangle from using the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies out of pearl ivory cardstock and added it to the centre of the card front with foam strips.

For the second layer of dies I die cut the decorative circle die from the Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Doily Etched Dies out of pearl ivory cardstock and added it to the centre of the rectangle using some fun foam for more dimension. I dent die cut a circle out of the patterned paper and added it to the centre of the decorative circle.

I have die cut two inner decorative ovals from the Amazing Paper Grace Victoriana Crest out of pearl ivory paper and stacked the two ovals together before adding it to the front of the patterned circle.

For my final layer I die cut a small rectangle from the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies and added it over the oval and base layering dies with foam strips.

I have hot foiled the sentiment from the Heart Felt Sentiments Hot Foil Plate in Aura foil on Hammermill paper and then die cut it with the coordinating die. I also die cut another two plain dies and stacked these together with the foiled sentiment on top and added it to the centre of the frames.

I have die cut the flowers using the flower dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2020 Snip it grid and Calendar Creator Etched Dies out of Barely Peach Cardstock. I added some Kitsch Flamingo ink to the centre of the flowers, shaped the petals with my fingers and then assembled the flowers with two petals. I die cut the large and medium sized stamens using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies out of flower shaping paper. I coloured the stamens with Lemon Whip ink and then shaped them with a ball stylus. I adhered two of each sized together making sure they overlapped and then added the larger and smaller stamens to the centre of the flower. I then added a pink iridescent jewel to the centre of the flower before adding it to the top left of the frame.

I die cut the leaves out of green cardstock using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month June 2020 Snip it grid and Calendar Creator Etched Die. Coloured the edges with Mowed Lawn ink, shaped them with my fingers before adding them around the flower.

I die cut the flower out of white cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Spring Label Motif Etched Dies, coloured them with pink ink before assembling them. The flower was then added to the card with a triple layer of foam square behind the flower and leaves.

I then die cut more green leaves using the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Lilies Etched Dies and coloured the edges with Mowed Lawn ink before added them to the card under the frame.

I die cut the small leaves from light green cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies and added small sprigs around the flowers and leaves.

To finish my card I have added small pearls to the doily die and medium pearls to the floral oval die.

Amazing Paper Grace Sending a Hug

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

For my card today I have been inspired by a card by Becca Feeken from Amazing Paper Grace layering the Braided Grace Square dies to create a stunning and elegant card. I have layered the Braided Grace dies in a similar fashion and then added the Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classic Square dies to create new layers and dimension. I then added some pretty handcrafted flowers and some gold pearls for a card that would be suitable for many occasions. I will look to do a video on how I have made these flowers at some stage. 

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

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 6″ x 6″ base card and layered it with gold cardstock and some very pretty gold and ivory floral paper. I then added a large Fluted Classic Square die in gold and layered it with some more of the pretty paper on the top to create a base for the decorative dies.

I die cut four decorative squares from the Braided Square Dies – two from ivory cardstock and two from gold cardstock. I adhered the ivory dies behind the gold dies and layered them on top of the Fluted Square dies – the first as a diamond and the second as a square to create eight points.

I then die cut the smallest square from the Fluted Classic Square dies out of gold cardstock and then added a small square of the patterned paper. This was then added to the centre of the Braided Square dies with foam tape in a diamond shape. To finish the card front base I die cut two small braided motifs from gold cardstock, stacked them together and added it to the top of the small square.

I stamped the sentiment from the Just a Note Sentiments Stamp set in clear embossing ink on vellum and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment out using the coordinating die in the same stamp set and adhered it across the centre of the diagonal square with some glue on each end.

I die cut the leaves from the Petite Floral Bouquet Dies and the Cinch and Go Four Flowers Die out of green cardstock. I added the lighter green leaves from the Cinch and Go Four Flowers Die around the sentiment and centre square.

I die cut the flowers from the Grand Cinch and Go Flowers, Cinch and Go Four Flowers Die and Cinch and Go V Flower die sets from soft flower shaping paper. I coloured the petals with a combination of pink and yellow inks (listed below) and shaped and assembled them. I have used the Grand Cinch and Go Flower Dies with the Cinch and Go V Flower Dies for the larger flowers. I inserted yellow wire pollens through the centres of the small flowers. I added the three large flowers around the centre square and sentiment and added the larger darker leaves around them. I trimmed the wires to the small flowers and added them as fillers around the larger flowers. 

To complete the card I added gold pearls to the centres of the large flowers and to the end of the vellum sentiment banner to hide the glue.

Honey Bee Stamps: Lovely Layers – Wedding Bells

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have just purchased the beautiful Honey Bee Stamps: Layering Holiday Bells Honey Cuts and started off making a white and gold Christmas card. But I ended up going in a totally different direction in the end and made a wedding card with a bouquet of Honey Bee Stamps Lovely Layers flowers and leaves. Even though it looks totally different from what I initially imagined I am very happy with the results and I hope you like it too.

My Project.

For my card I have made a top folding 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ card base out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of gold card 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ and added it to the front of the card. I die cut a Delicate Daisy Cover Plate Base and Top out of white cardstock and layered them together before adding them to the front of the card.

I die cut an oval using the Amaizng Paper Grace Elegant Twist Oval dies out of gold cardstock and then die cut one oval using the outer and inner decorative twist dies out of white cardstock and added it to the gold base. I then die cut two decorative twist oval frames out of white cardstock and added it to the base oval which was then added to the front of the card.

I die cut the bells from the Honey Bee Stamps: Layering Holiday Bells Honey Cuts out of white and gold cardstock. I assembled them and then added a gold bow out of the same set and added them to the the inside of the oval frame with foam tape.

I have die cut, coloured and assembled the flowers and leaves from the following dies: Lovely Layers – Dianthus (coloured yellow), rosebuds from the Roses dies – coloured blush and green, leaves and lavenders from the Spring Greenery dies and the gold leaves are from the Winter Greenery set. These were all layered around the top of the bells to ressemble a wedding bouquet. To add a little glamour and sparkle I have added some Wink of Stella to the flowers.

To finish my card I have stamped the sentiments from the Honey Bee Stamps Mini Messages stamp set in Wow embossing ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I die cut the sentiments out using the coordinating die set and added them to the card using foam strips.

I then added some gold pearls around the sentiment.

I am channeling my inner Bibi Cameron with this gorgeous trellis card featuring a magnificent rose made using the Altenew Craft-a-Flower Garden Rose Layering Die Set. These roses are so beautiful and very easy to create. I have had some technical difficulties with making a video on how I coloured these roses but I will look at doing one shortly.

My project:

I have made the 5 1/2″ x 4 1/2″ card according to Bibi’s instructions linked below. I have die cut all the petals and leaves out of Neenah Classic Crest 80Ib White Cardstock and coloured them with the inks I have listed below. I assembled the rose according to the instructions on the packaging and added it to the front of the gate card as shown. I then stamped the sentiment from the Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiments Stamp and Die Set on white cardstock and die cut it out using the coordinating die and adhered it to the top of the card.

To finish I have added some clear drops to the rose.

Here is the link to Bibiana’s video with instructions on how to make the trellis card: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2LCC9bkFOCM&t=302s

I have been admiring Bibiana Camerons trellis cards for some time and I had to try one. This one is a diagonal trellis card and they are incredibly easy to make but look amazing. I have decorated the card with roses made from the Birch Press Dainty Rose and Leaves Contour dies which I have coloured with Copic markers. The sentiment is from the Pink Fresh Studio Wonderful Sentiment Stamp and Die Set.

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.
