Mother’s Day Roses Pillar Card

Now that Easter is behind us it is not far until Mother’s Day. Every year I like to make a Mother’s Day card for myself and this year I have made another pillar card featuring Susan’s Garden Floribunda Rose dies, Ferns & Ivy dies and Forget-Me-Knot & Ladybugs Dies. I finished off the card with a sweet butterfly from the Spellbinders Glimmering Butterflies that I had hot foiled onto acetate. The sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace Merry Everything Dies by Becca Feeken. The embossed finish is from the Amazing Paper Grace 3D Orange Peel Embossing Folder by Becca Feeken – one of my go to embossing folders.

For the flowers I have used Rajni Chawla’s Flower Shaping Paper. I absolutely love using this paper as it is so easy to colour and shape and when dry is very robust. For more information on this paper please contact Rajni on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/rajni.chawla.121.

The little ladybirds are so sweet and very easy to make. I die cut them out of red cardstock, shaped them and added the black marks with a fine tip black pen.

Pink Roses for Mother’s Day

I would like to wish you all a happy Easter. I hope you all have a lovely weekend celebrating this occasion with family and friends.

Mother’s Day is not far away and I have a sweet Mother’s Day card to share with you. I fell in love with the Altenew Vintage Lace Embossing Folder and the coordinating stencils because the honeycomb background is just gorgeous and I just love roses! I tend to gravitate to roses all the time… I have made a step card using a retired die from Spellbinders – Decorated Birthday Pop Up die and decorated the front with strips made from die cutting white card with the Lawn Fawn Quilted Background die. I then embossed a piece of white cardstock and coloured the roses with the coordinating stencil. I trimmed this down and added a frame using the Amazing Paper Grace Oval Fluted Classics with foam tape to put the focus on the roses.

I reverse hot foiled the Mother’s Day sentiment from Spellbinders Happy Parents hot foil plate and die cut it with the coordinating die.

To finish I have added pink jewels to the intersections of the quilted background.

A Merry Santa Christmas

Christmas has snuck up on me very fast this year and I have been busy making last minute Christmas cards using Spellbinders and Amazing Paper Grace products. I like to give my doctor and his practice some nice chocolates and a handcrafted card. It has been a very hard year for the doctors and I have always received excellent support and help and I wanted to show my appreciation for all that they have done. They were so happy with my gift.

I have been inspired by Bibiana Cameron who has created beautiful Christmas cards using Glimmer Hot Foil background plates and Amazing Paper Grace Seasonal Motifs. For my project today I have created a shaped card using the Amazing Paper Grace Rectangle Postage Edge dies and added a gorgeous background using the lovely Spellbinders Glimmering Swag hot foil plate. I created a label using the Amazing Paper Grace Winter Label Motif dies and then added a very cute Spellbinders Santa. I have finished the card using the sentiment dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Happy Occasions Dies and some glitter to Santa’s hat with some Bearly Art Glue.

I then created a separate label and added it to my wrapped gift.

A Purr-fect Happy Birthday

Every so often I get the chance to have a play with all the different products in my craftroom. I was asked to make a birthday card for someone that likes cats or dogs and also loves my floral cards. So I had a lot of fun!

I had just received some amazing flower shaping paper from Rajni Chawla who is the most amazing paper florist and I am so fortunate to be working along side of her in the Heartfelt Creations Design Team and also the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team. She has developed this special paper that is light and easy to shape but is also robust. I really loved using this paper as it is easy on my arthritic hands when I shape flowers by hand.

The products I have used in this card:

Heartfelt Creations – Classic Rose Die, Wild Aster Die, Clematis Flower Die, Fancy Classic Oval Frame Die, Lattice Flourish Gateway die

Heartfelt Creations Black cardstock, Luxe Silver Cardstock

Amazing Paper Grace – Candlewick Rosebud

Golden Anniversary

Have you have die cut or hot foiled a project and missed a part! Well I did that with the beautiful Magnolia Glimmer Blooms Hot Foil Plate. I had cut off part of a leaf but rather than throw it away I decided to create a card with it. I have combined the magnolia image with the Geo Foliage Hot Plate and Foil Plate and Die set for a golden wedding anniversary card.

All products used in this card are from Spellbinders and purchased privately.

The diagonal foil is from the Diagonal Glimmer Stripes Hot Foil Plate. I love how it creates a gorgeous background.

The frame is from the Geo Foliage Hot Foil Plate and Die set.

The sentiment is from the Sentiments Everyday Hot Foil and Plate Set.

Please follow me on Instagram where I will be showing a short reel on how this card has come together.

Thinking of You with APG Dies

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Welcome back and today I thought I would share a card made with some gorgeous Amazing Paper Grace dies finished off with some handcrafted flowers.

To make this card I have created a base card of 5″ x 7″ and cut a piece of light blue card to adhere to the front leaving a small white border. I have die cut the lovely Doily Round die and embossed it through the die cutting machine before trimming in half and adhering to the top and bottom of the card. I have layered up the white decorative dies from the Richelieu Square die set onto a piece of light blue card and adhere to the front of the card with some foam tape.

To finish the card I have made some flowers using the Heartfelt Creations Wild Rose set from Soft floral Oriental Paper from Dress My Craft over some Leafy Accents.

The sentiment is from Altenew – Paint a Flower Poppy that I have heat embossed with white embossing powder on black cardstock.

Pearls were added to the corners of the square.

I hope that I have inspired you to look at dies in different ways.
