You are in for a treat today with this stunning 3D Valentine’s Day card made using the Amazing Paper Grace Pop Up 3D Vignette Valentine Mailbox. I love how easy it is to put this card together and it took longer to decide on the embellishments from the Peony Garden collection from Mintay. The front opens up like a mailbox but I decided to leave the front closed and created a diorama scene instead using some pretty papers. The pink and gold combination is so pretty and very romantic with a shabby chic feel. This mailbox would be a gorgeous decoration to sit on the table for a romantic candlelight dinner with roses and chocolates. If you did want to send this in the post the card will lay flat for posting.

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

My Project

I have die cut the mailbox out of pink cardstock and assembled the mailbox according to the instructions from Amazing Paper Grace. To create the diorama I have added some scenic paper die cut using the inner plain die to the second panel from the front and I added a small butterfly using foam tape for some more depth and interest to the diorama. For the front door I have kept it shut and added some acetate behind the decorative front for stability and to add the gold glitter decorative die to the front. 

To decorate the mailbox I die cut two ‘MAIL’ sentiments – one from pink cardstock and one from gold glitter cardstock and adhered the gold sentiment behind the pink sentiment and slightly offset it for a peak of gold glitter. This was then added to the top of the mailbox.

The mailbox was embellished with die cuts from the Peony Garden collection from Mintay and I have added a small envelope made from a die in this Valentine’s Day die set and added some hearts made from pink and gold cardstock in the envelope and on the top behind the sentiment. 

To finish I have added some pink jewels to the gold decorative die on the front.

Sometimes it is best with pretty papers just to let the background dies and beautiful papers tell the story when making a card. I have just purchased some beautiful papers from Mintay Papers and decided to create a shabby chic look with lacy background dies to highlight the stunning images from this collection. Rather than using actual lace the Amazing Paper Grace Tallulah Frill Layering Frame Dies did all the work for me to create the lacy shabby chic look which allowed the pretty images to show through. All I needed to finish this card was a sweet little sentiment and pearls and my card was done.

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

My Project

For my card I created a side opening 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2: base card out of white cardstock. I cut a piece of green cardstock the same size and added it to the front of the card. I then layered a busy floral background paper to the front.

I die cut two outer decorative frames from the Amazing Paper Grace Tallulah Frill Layering Frame Die out of white pearl cardstock and adhered them together for more depth and dimension. Before adding this to the card front I cut another piece of green cardstock 3 1/4″ x 4 1/2″ to fit just under the centre of the frame to add some contrast to the pattern paper and I then added it to the card front. I cut another piece of green cardstock the same size as the smaller layering die and added a small floral and cat image to the front of this. I die cut two inner decorative frames out of pearl cardstock and adhered them together before adding them to the pre-prepared floral panel and then added it to the centre of the larger frame.

I then added the ephemera to the card using some foam squares for extra dimension.

I stamped the ‘hello’ sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Seasonal Motif Sentiments Clear Stamp Set in English Ivy ink on white pearl cardstock. I die cut this out using the small tag die from the Amazing Paper Grace Cascading Grace Die set and adhered it to the base of the flowers at the bottom right of the card. I added a small white satin bow to the tag.

To finish I added pearls to the inner and outer decorative frames.
