Welcome back and today I have a beautiful, sweet and elegant birthday card made for a special person. I have made a shaped card using the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Mini Album Collection Etched Dies by Becca Feeken. I have also added other elements from the Amazing Paper Grace – Heart Felt Sentiment, Die of the Month August 2022 – Peekaboo Trellis Panels and the Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5×7 Card Base to embellish the card. And I have used soft pink, cream, white with a touch of gold accents for a very sweet, romantic and elegant card and the recipient loved the card.
Becca has done a video on how to create the interactive element using the Amazing Paper Grace Interactive Pivot Banner Etched Dies here: https://youtu.be/AMmUn1SxksI?si=VPKv1w4e5X0euV_o. Plus you can see how the shaped card is made by die cutting the base using the shadow die from the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Vaulted Cabinet Etched Dies right along the edge of some folded card.
Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today’s creations.

Today I am sharing the first Christmas card I have made this year and I am so happy to have made a start on them. The Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Dies make it so easy to make a shaped card with a nifty little hinge by die cutting close to the side edge with the tabs over the fold. This helps with allowing the card to fold over and more space if you wish add extra embellishments inside the card as well. For this card I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Snow Globe Dies as the base and the Amazing Paper Grace Santa Claus Layering Set Dies to decorate the front of the card.

My Project
For my project today I created the base card using the outer shadow die from the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Snow Globe Dies out of white cardstock. I then die cut three decorative panels using the shadow and inner decorative dies out of pearlescent cardstock that had a tinge of gold. I then added some double sided paper adhesive to the base of the front and the inner panels. I then removed the top of the adhesive paper before adding the decorative panels and then added some Diamond Sprinkles to the sticky paper for a sparkly finish.
I die cut two decorative circle frames out of gold mirror cardstock and white cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Twist Circle dies. These were stacked together with the gold on top and then added to the top of the circle on the front of the card.
I then die cut the sun ray die from the Amazing Paper Grace Santa Claus Layering Set Dies out of the pearl card. I added some more double sided adhesive paper to some pearl card and die cut it out with the plain circle die. I removed the top of the adhesive paper and then added the sunray die to the circle before adding some more Diamond Sprinkles.
I then die cut the Santa and tree die from the same set out of pearl cardstock and made sure to emboss the die before adding to the sunray circle with foam strips. This was then added to the middle of the gold Elegant Twist frame.
To finish the front I added some gold holly leaves to the base of the card, a gold pearl to the centre of the sun ray and some clear gems with gold dust radiating out from the centre and also the the leaves.
I repeated the same steps to the inside right panel of the card this time using the Christmas Greetings die from the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Snow Globe Dies.
I left the inside left panel blank to write the greeting.

Today I have a very special birthday card I made for a very special person using dies from the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Mini Album Collection by Becca Feeken. Shaped cards are so easy when you use a 3D Vignette die and my favourite 3D Vignette die is the Amazing Paper Grace Grand Vaulted Cabinet Etched Dies. I love the shape of the aperture and I especially love the swirls and flourishes in the decorative background too. I have paired these dies with the Amazing Paper Grace Birthday Wishes Vignette Etched Dies from the Beautiful Sentiment Vignette Dies Collection by Becca Feeken to change this to a birthday card. Finally I added a beautiful hot foiled sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Heart Felt Sentiments Hot Foil Plate and Dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cardlets Collection on the interactive pivot banner for extra meaning and a sweet butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Etched Dies to the front.
I have used soft pinks, cream and white with accents of gold for this card for a soft, vintage, romantic and elegant shaped card that the recipient loved.
