Amazing Paper Grace Happily Ever After

I have another timeless and elegant wedding card for you today. While I love making elaborate cards with handmade flowers, sometimes it is quite refreshing to make a quick and easy card using just a few dies. The Amazing Paper Grace Layered Happily Ever After Dies from the 3D Vignette Collection by Becca Feeken had just what I needed for a card and all I needed to complete the card was just three other die sets (listed below the photos) also from Amazing Paper Grace. This card looks amazing in real life and it only took about an hour to complete.

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

My Project

I have made a 4 3/4″ x 6″ top folding card base out of white cardstock and I added a layer of ivory cardstock to the front of the card. I die cut a large rectangle from the Amazing Paper Grace Picot Petite Rectangle dies out of gold cardstock and added it to the front of the card. I cut a piece of pearl ivory embossed paper from my stash to fit the inside of the decorative frame.

I die cut two large label dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Francesca Labels dies – one from ivory and one from gold cardstock. I cut the gold label in half and added it behind the ivory label offsetting the top and bottom of the label for a hint of gold. This was then added to the front of the card.

I die cut the wedding couple using the edge and wedding couple die from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Happily Ever After Dies out of gold cardstock. I then die cut three die cuts using the Happily Ever After die and border die out of ivory cardstock. I stacked the three dies together and then adhered these over the gold wedding couple die. I die cut another label from the Francesa Labels die out of vellum and adhered the decorative dies to the label. I then added the vellum label with the decorative dies to the other labels on the front of the card just by adding glue behind the die cuts.

I made a bow from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Double Bow and Flowers Die set from ivory cardstock and adhered it to the base of the decorative dies. I die cut the flowers from the ivory cardstock and added them around the bow.

To finish I added gold pearls to the centre of the flowers and a large one at the top on the label.

Amazing Paper Grace Pearls and Lace with Love

I have another soft and romantic card full of pearls and lace to share with you today featuring the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace March 2022 Die of the Month – Bella Ovalette. I have been going through my stash of papers and dies and found this absolutely beautiful pearl embossed paper that my daughter had bought for me from Sydney many years ago. It is such a soft and pretty silver/blue colour and was perfect as the background to the stunning dies. Everything is included in this Bella Ovalette die set including the flowers and leaves and all I needed to add extra was the sentiment from Beccy’s Place. Lots of different layers on top of the embossed paper makes this card so ‘amazing’ in real life.

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″ card out of white cardstock. I trimmed the blue/silver paper to 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″ and added it to the front of the card.

I die cut the one decorative base out of white cardstock using the large decorative frame and then die cut two decorative frames using the decorative frame and the inner rectangle frame from white cardstock. These were stacked together and then added to the card front. I then die cut 4 decorative rectangles using the plain rectangle die, the middle decorative die and the inner plain die out of white cardstock. I stacked these together and added them inside the larger decorative frame.

I die cut two inner decorative accents using the small accent die and the circle die and adhered them together.

Using the decorative accent as a guide for placement I stamped the sentiment from Beccy’s Place on one of the discarded inner panels from the rectangle dies using Tuxedo Black ink. This stamped inner panel was then added to the inside of the rectangle frames.

I die cut the flowers out of soft flower shaping paper and coloured one set with light blue ink and the other set with light yellow inks. After spritzing the petals with water I shaped them using a small and medium ball stylus on foam mats. Once dry these were arranged on the bottom right and the top left of the rectangle frame as shown.

I die cut the leaves from the light green cardstock and added them around the flowers as shown.

To finish I added pearls to the flower centres and on the die cuts.

I have been going through my considerable stash of dies that I have and I decided it was time to start using them in my cards. I have also been going through my cardstock stash and discovered some very pretty cardstock that I have forgotten about. Once again my card has been inspired by one that Becca Feeken has done but I have put my own twist in it by using slightly different dies and cardstock. I love the bright and summery colours I have used and that this card can be mailed easily as it is flat.

My project

I have created a top folding 6″ x 6″ base card out of heavy pearlescent cardstock. I then layered yellow and pearlescent cardstock to create the base for the decorative dies. I die cut layers out of pearlescent and yellow cardstock using the dies from the A2 Scalloped Borders One Dies from Spellbinders. I have slightly decreased the size of the top two layers to create some interest.

I die cut a large and medium label from the Amazing Paper Grace Francesca Labels – the larger label from yellow cardstock and the smaller from pearlescent card stock and these were added to the top of the card. I then die cut the band using the die from the Spellbinders Romantic Agenda set out of pearlescent card stock and then added some yellow cardstock behind it. I die cut two small ovals from the Spellbinders Floral Ovals die – one from pearlescent cardstock and one from yellow. I removed the little stars from the pearlescent oval and added the yellow oval behind so the yellow stars would show. I then added this oval behind the embossed oval on the band. This was then added to the card over the base of the labels as shown.

I reverse hot foiled the sentiment from the Spellbinders Be Bold Glimmer Sentiment in gold and die cut with the coordinating die. I die cut two extra plain dies and stacked them together with the foiled sentiment on top. This was added to the top of the card as shown.

I die cut flowers and leaves from the Spellbinders Be Bold Blooms from blue, yellow and green cardstock. I die cut the leaf accents out of gold cardstock and then added the flowers and leaves to the top left of the card and peeking out of the bottom right of the band.

I die cut two butterflies from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters Dies out of pearlescent, yellow and gold cardstock, assembled them and adhered them to the card as shown.

To finish I added pearls to the centre of the band, around the sentiment and the top corners.

Hello Happy Birthday

I have another birthday card to share with you using more of the clematis flowers that I made last week for my YouTube channel. Once again I have used a die that I have had in my stash for many years. I love dies that have ornate decorative features and lots of lattice and this die from Sue Wilson – Striplets – Lattice Window is one that I will never give away. I love making layers to create dimension and depth and here I have die cut several times to get the dimension I wanted and was able to use all the die cuts with no waste. Another bonus. I have also started going through my cardstock stash and begun using my old stock up. Another bonus! Overall I was really happy with how this card turned out.

My Project

For my card I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card out of white cardstock. I then layered up white pearlescent cardstock to create the base for the decorative dies. I die cut three lattice windows out of the pearlescent card. I stacked three outer frames together and added it to the centre of the card. I die cut the lattice inner using the left over inner panels and adhered them to the centre and sides of the decorative lattice window.

I die cut three ‘hello’ dies – two from scrap pearlescent card and one from silver card. I stacked the sentiments together with the silver on top and then adhered it to the bottom right of the decorative windows.

I hot foiled the sentiment using silver holographic foil on pearlescent card and die cut it with the coordinating die. I matted the sentiment using silver metallic cardstock and added it below the ‘hello’ sentiment with some foam tape.

I then made the leaves and flowers (see video below my list of products I have used) and adhered them to the card as shown.

Amazing Paper Grace With Grateful Thanks

I have just purchased a new hot foil machine so of course I had to try it out and yes I am much happier with this machine. I really love the border hot foil plates from the Amazing Paper Grace Delicate Impressions collection by Becca Feeken. The Amazing Paper Grace Diamonetta Background Hot Foil Plate creates the perfect background to add some gorgeous fussy cut coloured flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Blooms Border Hot Foil Plate. Add these to a very pretty decorative floral border and a ‘heartfelt’ sentiment and the card is complete.

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

My Project

For my card I have cut a piece of cardstock 6 3/4″ x 8″ and scored at 5″ along the long side leave a front flap of 3″. I die cut the decorative floral border from the Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Floral Border Dies out of white cardstock and adhered the side under the front flap. I cut a piece of white cardstock 6 3/4″ x 2 7/8″ and adhered it to the underside of the front flap hiding the end of the decorative border. I then cut a piece of gold cardstock 2″ x 6 3/4″ and adhered it to the right side of the inside back of the card. I cut a piece of gold cardstock 6 1/2″ x 2 3/4″ and adhered it to the front flap. I cut a piece of white foil friendly paper 6 1/4″ x 2 1/2″ and foiled it with with Amazing Paper Grace Diamonetta Background Hot Foil Plate with gold foil. This was then applied over the gold panel on the flap. To finish the panel I die cut decorative edges out of gold cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Graceful Floral Lace dies and adhered them to the panel to add a decorative finish to the panel.

I hot foiled the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Blooms Border Hot Foil Plate onto Hammermill white cardstock with gold foil. I then coloured the flowers and leaves with Copic markers and fussy cut the images out. These were then added over the diamond background within the border as shown.

To finish the card I hot foiled the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Heartfelt Sentiments in gold foil on white cardstock and diecut it with the coordinating die. I also die cut two plain sentiment dies from white cardstock and stacked all three dies together with the foiled sentiment on top. This was then added to the front of the decorated panel on the card.

Amazing Paper Grace Silent Night Christmas

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

Christmas is less than two months away and I have some more Christmas card inspiration for you today. I was inspired by a couple of cards I saw on Instagram and thought I would mix the two ideas to make my own version using Amazing Paper Grace dies. So for my card I have mixed two Amazing Paper Grace interactive collections – Make a Scene and Pop Up 3D Vignettes to create a beautiful elegant slightly dimensional Christmas card embellished with some beautiful Christmas Roses or Hellebore flowers. I love the soft tones that I have used in this card with the muted ink blended background highlighting the white on white scene from the Amazing Paper Grace Silent Night Make a Scene Dies. The Amazing Paper Grace Grand Christmas Lattice Arch Dies were a perfect frame for the Make a Scene dies and also gave me some space for my flowers.

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

My Project

For my card I have created a top folding base card measuring 5″ x 5 3/4″ out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of plain white card 5 3/8″ x 4 5/8″ adhered it to the front of the card. I die cut a plain frame and decorative frame out of white cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Christmas Lattice Arch Dies. I ink blended one of the inside panels using Lemon Whip, Sky Blue and Summer Shower inks and added it to the front of the card using the previously cut frame as a guide. I then die cut three different height white ‘hills’ using the three different shaped landscape dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Silent Night Make a Scene dies. The width of these pieces was 3 3/8″ just enough to cover the sides of the coloured insert. I then added these to the bottom of the ink blended panel using foam squares in between each piece. I then adhered the decorative frame over the plain frame and added it to the font of the card using thicker foam strips.

To decorate the inside of the frame I have die cut the different houses and trees from the Amazing Paper Grace Silent Night Make a Scene Dies out of white cardstock and added them in between the layers using foam squares as need.

I die cut three Santa and reindeer dies out of white cardstock and stacked them together. I die cut a shaped strip out of acetate using the die from the Amazing Paper Grace Silent Night Dies and adhered the Santa and reindeer dies to it before added it to the frame as shown.

I die cut four Merry Christmas sentiments out of white cardstock using the die from the Amazing Paper Grace Silent Night Make a Scene dies. I stacked the four dies together and then adhered the sentiment at the base of the scene.

I die cut some foliage and holly leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Labels Motifs Dies out of different colours of green cardstock and adhered them to the top left of the card on the frame. I handcrafted the flowers using the larger flower die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – March 2020 Elegant Infinity using soft flower shaping paper and micro thread stamens. These were added over the foliage. To finish the flowers I added some green leaves using the leaf die from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go V Dies.

Amazing Paper Grace Shabby Chic Congratulations

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

Today I have a pretty shabby chic card to share with you that has been inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest. I used the same dies that was used for the card – Amazing Paper Grace Callista Rectangle Shadowbox Frame Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace All Occasions Sentiments Dies, but I added my own touch with the handcrafted flowers and pretty images from Mintay. The flowers ended up different to what I wanted to make but I am still happy with them. To me they look like helichrysum flowers that were very poplular in the 1980s and 1990s for dried flower arrangements. What do you think?

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

My Project

For my card today I have created a top folding 4 3/4″ x 6″ base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of white cardstock 4 5/8″ x 5 7/8″ and adhered it to the front of the card. I then cut a piece of pink check paper 4 1/2″ x 5 3/4″ and placed this over the top. I cut a piece of white card 3 3/4″ x 4 7/8″. I die cut the frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Callista Rectangle Shadowbox Frame Dies out o gold cardstock and added the small white card to the back of the frame and added it to the front of the card. I then cut a piece of pink paper 2 1/2″ x 3 7/8″ and placed it in the centre of the frame. I die cut the inner panel from the Amazing Paper Grace Callista Rectangle Shadowbox Frame Dies out of white cardstock and placed this over the pink panel inside the frame. I finished the front by adding a motif from the Mintay Elodie Die Cuts.

I die cut the decorative frame from the Amazing Paper Grace All Occasions Sentiments Dies out of gold cardstock and added it to the centre of the card. I stamped the sentiment from the same set in embossing ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I die cut the sentiment out using the coordinating rectangle die and added it to the centre of the frame.

I added some motifs from the Mintay Elodie Die Cuts to the front of the card.

I handcrafted pink flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and yellow and blue flowers from the Go V flowers and the Petite Floral Potpourri Dies. Once they were dry and assembled I added them at the bottom of the card and at the base of the woman and the birds. The leaves from the Cinch and Go V flowers were die cut using blue/green paper from the Mintay Elodie Paper Pack to coordinate with the paper.

To finish my card I added some clear iridescent rhinestones to around the sentiment and the flowers.

Amazing Paper Grace Merry Christmas

Yikes!!! Christmas is just around the corner!! I really don’t know where the time has gone but I am feeling very organised for my Christmas cards this year. My theme has been white, gold, pink and green and I have another Christmas card to share with you today to inspire you. I have used the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace February 2022 Die of the Month – Marvelous Medallion. I love how easy it is to get the gold shadows with this set. I have paired this die with the Amazing Paper Grace November 2020 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Sleigh poinsettias and the gorgeous birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Frame Gala dies. The sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace Silent Night Make a Scene dies. I made a lot of flowers and birds at once so once I did my die cutting this card came together very quickly.

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

My Project:

I made a top folding 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ card base out of white cardstock. I layered one gold card and two white layers to the front of the card. The top layer has been embossed with the Amazing Paper Grace Flourished Holly embossing folder.

I die cut the two medallions out of gold and white cardstock and layered the white top layer over the gold layer. These were added to the front of the card . I then die cut two banners out of white cardstock and stacked them together and adhered it across the centre of the medallions. I die cut two Merry Christmas sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace Silent Night Make a Scene dies and stacked them together before adding them to the banner.

The poinsettias have beenI have handcrafted the green and pink poinsettias out of flower shaping paper using the poinsettia dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – November 2020- 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh.and adhered them to the top right of the banner and bottom left of the banner over green leaves from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – November 2020- 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh.

I made a pair of birds from the Amazing Paper Grace Holly Frame Gala dies out of gold and white cardstock and added a touch of pink to the bodies of the birds and then added them above the poinsettias.

To finish the card I have added some gold pearls around the flowers and sentiment.

Amazing Paper Grace Perfect Marriage

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations1 Comment

Kia ora Koutou

I have a wedding to go to coming up in about three weeks and I thought I would get in early and make a card for the bride and groom. (I am normally leaving everything to the last minute lol). I decided to go with a white and gold theme using the Amazing Paper Grace Clipped Nested Squares as a base for more handcrafted flowers. The sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Beautiful Inside and Out Sentiments Stamp set is just perfect for a wedding card (pun intended) and I have used Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud and Petite Floral Potpourri dies to created my flowers. I will make a box to coordinate with this card to make it extra special.

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

My Project

To make my card I have created a top folding 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ base card out of white cardstock. I then added a 5 1/2″ x 5 1/2″ gold card to the front of the card. I cut a piece of white cardstock 5 1/4″ x 5 1/4″ and scored along all sides at 1/4″ and 3/8″ to create a frame. This was then added to the front of the gold cardstock. I then die cut two large clipped nested squares out of white cardstock and embossed them with the Amazing Paper Grace Orange Peel Embossing Folder. I die cut two large gold frames using the two largest dies from the clipped nested Squares dies and then adhered them over the front of the card overlapping in the middle. I then used the inside nested square from one of the larger gold frames and added it to the centre of the overlapped clipped nested square panels. I die cut a smaller clipped square out of white cardstock and after stamping the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Beautiful Inside and Out Sentiments Stamp set with Jet Black ink in the centre, I adhered it to the front of the gold nested square. I die cut four frames using the next two size down clipped nested squares – three out of white cardstock and one from gold cardstock. These were stacked together and witht the gold die on top. This was then added to the front clipped square panel framing the sentiment.

I then die cut the corner dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Callista Rectangle Shadow Box Frame Dies out of gold cardstock and added them to the corners to finish the frame.

I made the roses from the Amazing Paper Grace Candlewick Rosebud dies which were coloured with Lemon Whip and Ballet Slippers for a soft romantic look. I then added some Cosmic Shimmer Luna Paste – Moonlight Gold to the edges to give the roses an antique shabby chic feel. The large leaves were from the Amazing Paper Grace Cinch and Go IV dies and were die cut from green cardstock. The leaves were also given some shine and glitter using the Luna Paste and were added around the roses. The small yellow and pink flowers were made using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Dies. I coloured the yellow flowers with Lemon Whip ink and the pink flowers with Raspberry Bliss ink. The lighter green leaves were also from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Dies set. These were added around the flowers and the nested square dies to create a pretty floral bouquet.

To finish my card I have made a butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters dies out of vellum and gold cardstock. The vellum was coloured with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide ink and worked in perfectly with the antique-look roses.

A Sparkly Rainbow Birthday Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

I recently won a challenge in a Facebook group for one of my cards and I was thrilled with my prize that I received. In it was this gorgeous stencil with no branding on it but I loved it. I am relatively new to stenciling and ink blending so I had another go at a rainbow design but this time I added some sparkle to the ink blending with some Nuvo glitter paste – Moonstone. I was thrilled with the result and I will definitely do this again. I have kept my card very simple so as not to distract from the pretty sparkly pattern and just added a simple white border from the Amazing Paper Grace Hemstitch Rectangles and a white flower die that I embossed from Spellbinders that I have had for quite a while. A simple hot foiled ‘Hello’ from Pink Fresh Studio and a stamped ‘Happy Birthday’ from Honey Bee Stamps finished off this card. I was inspired for my card from a card on Instagram – however that card featured a plain dramatic ink blended background and white accents. I am in my happy space with pastels and sparkles.
