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 Stenciled Thank You Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Today I want to show that Amazing Paper Grace dies are not just for die cutting and layering. For my projects I have used the Amazing Paper Grace Round Doily die as a stencil for ink blending. This die has such a pretty pattern and I was really pleased with how the ink blending has turned out and I was able to get two cards out of the one action which is also very pleasing.

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

My Project

I have made a top folding base card of 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ out of white cardstock. I have die cut the largest rectangle from the Amazing Paper Grace Rectangle Fluted Classics Dies set from white cardstock and adhered it to the front of the card. I then die cut the stenciled image using the next size fluted die from the same set and adhered it to the front of the card.

I hot foiled the sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace Elegant Occasions Sentiments Hot Foil Plate in matte gold and die cut it out with the coordinating die. I also die cut another two plain dies and stacked the dies together with the foiled sentiment on top and adhered it to the card front over the stenciled image.

I added some pink daisies left over from another card and a small butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutter Dies to decorate the card.

To finish the card I have added some pink jewels.

Pink Fresh Studio Garden Roses Pocket Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

Kia ora Koutou

Today I am sharing a card that has a pocket inside that is just right for a gift voucher to give to someone special to say thank you. This card design could also be used for birthday and Christmas as well and is very easy to make. I was inspired for this card by a card that Pink Fresh Studio Influencer Yasmin Diaz created on Instagram. I have switched it up and turned it around and made the pocket for the gift voucher rather than for another smaller card like Yasmin has done.

My project

I have created a 4 1/4″ x 5 1/2″ base card that is side folding. I have created three layers of lacey edges for the front using the lacey edge die from the Lacey Edges 1 die on the front of the card. I then added a panel in the front of the card and embossed it with the Stained Glass Die for more texture. For the inside of the card. I have cut a piece of white cardstock 5 3/8″ x 4 5/8″, scored at 2 1/2″ aong the long side and folded it to create a pocket. I have glued down the edges and then adhered the pocket to the inside of the card. I then added an embossed panel 2 3/8″ x 5 1/4″ to the front of the pocket.

I stamped the image from the Garden Rose Stamp in Versamark ink and heat embossed with gold embossing powder. I coloured the images with pink and green inks using the coordinating stencils and then die cut with the matching die. I also cut another plain die to adhere the coloured image on top. I trimmed the roses to fit the front and inside back of the card as shown.

I hot foiled the sentiments from the Perfect Sentiment Hot Foil plate and die cut them out with the coordinating die. I also die cut another plain die to add the foiled sentiment on top. I then adhered the ‘Just a note’ sentiment to the top left of the card and the ‘thank you’ sentiment to the bottom right of the inside back.

To finish I have added some gold pearls around the sentiments.

Pink Fresh Studio Surprise Pop Up Card

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Kia ora Koutou

I was inspired to create this pop up card by a reel on Instagram from Pink Fresh Studio with instructions on how to make the card. The finished card looks amazing but it was incredibly easy to make and the instructions were very easy to follow. It took longer to die cut all the washi tape flowers and decorate the card! And I love how I have used the sentiments to create a little story for the recipient! This would make a fabulous birthday, wedding or any very special occasion card for someone very special.

I love making floral cards and love the challenge of adding dimensional flowers with flat flowers and rose to the challenge creating the beautiful flowers using the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Etched Dies from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken and the pretty flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken for a bright and summery Thank You card.

Today’s projects created were used with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

My Project for Today

For my project today I have created an 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ card and created a base for the flowers using the Amazing Paper Grace Emmeline Treillage Etched Dies by Becca Feeken and a frame from the Amazing Paper Grace Candelwick Rectangles Etched Dies by Becca Feeken. The beautiful label from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Etched Dies from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken fits perfectly inside the frame. I have created flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Etched Dies from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken and the the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken to highlight the frame and the butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Etched Dies from Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken is so beautiful!! To complete my card I have added a hot foiled sentiment from the Spellbinders Mini Everyday Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set from Simply Perfect Collection.

I have used yellow, gold and white colours for a soft, summer background.

Some flowers have been coloured using ink blending and some flowers are made using coloured cardstock only.

I have added the frame to the card front using foam tape for more dimension.

Amazing Paper Grace Layered Tulips

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations2 Comments

My theme this week is Back in Black and today I have a card to share with you that features a black textured background with vibrant yellow tulips and a pretty blue die. I have not done a lot of cards with black so it was really good to challenge myself. I had a play with colour combinations and decided on black, blue, yellow and gold. Black and blue are an unusual combination but this worked for me as blue and yellow are primary colours and blue and yellow combine to make a secondary colour – green. By keeping the colours simple all the colours harmonised well I think. This combination also allows the tulips to really ‘pop’ on the card. And I have kept the gold accents to a minimum to allow the focus to be on the tulips.

I have an exclusive step by step photo tutorial on how I have created the tulips coming up on the 21st July (CST) for members of the Amazing Paper Grace – Creative Encouragement Group. Ask to join this wonderful community to view this tutorial and many other tutorials to inspire your creativity. (And don’t forget to answer the questions to get accepted. I look forward to seeing you there!).

Today’s projects were used with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

My Project Today.

For my card I have made a 5″ x 7″ card featuring the fabulous Amazing Paper Grace Eyelet Lace Frame Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken as a frame for beautiful tulips from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Tulips Etched Dies from the Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimlines Collection by Becca Feeken. I have created a textured background by using the decorative panel die from the Amazing Paper Grace Thank you for your Kindness Etched Dies from the Right Words Collection by Becca Feeken die cut twice and layered black on black. I have finished the card with a ‘thank you’ sentiment from the same die set.

To finish, I have added a sweet butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters 5 x 7″ Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken

I have combined three different green coloured cardstocks to create more dimension and interest in the leaves.

I didn’t need to add any bling to this card as the tulips are the hero of the card and embellishments would detract from them.

The black decorative die on plain back cardstock makes a gorgeous texture.

I have die cut two sentiments – one gold and one black. The gold sentiment has been adhered to the black sentiment slightly offsetting it to create a shadow.
