Amazing Paper Grace Slimline Postage Edge Hugs

I haven’t done an Amazing Paper Grace slimline card for a while and thought it was time to rectify this. I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Slimline Postage Edge Etched Dies by Becca Feeken as my base for this card and decorated it with handcrafted flowers and butterflies to highlight a gorgeous base. I was inspired by Becca Feeken’s way of using the Amazing Paper Grace Square Elegant Twist Etched Dies by Becca Feeken to create the panel in the front of the card. I so love how you can create so many looks with just one die! You can see the video I have used here: https://youtu.be/D0z4ys1ymKU

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

My Project Today

My base card has been cut to be 8 1/2″ x 3 1/2″ out of white cardstock. I have cut a piece of gold cardstock 3 1/4″ x 8 1/4″ and layered it on the cardfront. I have then die cut the largest slimline postage edge die from the Amazing Paper Grace Slimline Postage Edge Etched Dies by Becca Feeken out of white cardstock and two plain edge panels – one from gold cardstock and one from white cardstock. I die cut the decorative die from the Amazing Paper Grace Splendid Trilliant Etched Dies out of the white panel and then adhered it to the front of the gold panel before adding to the card front. I then die cut two decorative dies Amazing Paper Grace Splendid Trilliant Etched Dies from white cardstock, stacked them together before adhering over the previously die cut panel. I have die cut four decorative edges using the smallest edge dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Square Elegant Twist Etched Dies by Becca Feeken. I adhered one frame over the other one by making one frame upside down to create a different decorative edge and added this to a plain background. I then layered the single frames behind this decorative panel and adhere to the front of the card as shown.

I have handcrafted the flowers from the Cinch and Go III Flowers Dies set using Flower Shaping Paper from Rajni Chawla. The leaves have been die cut from green cardstock and then added to the left of the square panels and the flowers have been added over the top of them. The small gold ferns and the ‘Hugs’ sentiment are from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – August 2022 – Peekaboo Trellis. And to finish I have added a sweet butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters Etched Dies by Becca Feeken and some gold gems.

Welcome to my second post today for Inspiration Wednesday at Heartfelt Creations. The new Black Friday 2022 dies are just amazing and my favourite die in this collections is the HCD3-7431 Slim Eyelet Rectangle Die. It is so very elegant and I really love the ‘Love’ sentiment die that goes with this set. This die works with the basic and eyelet slimline dies so well.

For my card I have tried to create a garden of flowers with the Classic Rose, Wild Aster and Lush Lilac dies cascading over the gorgeous dies.
