Amazing Paper Grace Happily Ever After

Kia ora Koutou

I have another timeless and elegant wedding card for you today. While I love making elaborate cards with handmade flowers, sometimes it is quite refreshing to make a quick and easy card using just a few dies. The Amazing Paper Grace Layered Happily Ever After Dies from the 3D Vignette Collection by Becca Feeken had just what I needed for a card and all I needed to complete the card was just three other die sets (listed below the photos) also from Amazing Paper Grace. This card looks amazing in real life and it only took about an hour to complete.

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

My Project

I have made a 4 3/4″ x 6″ top folding card base out of white cardstock and I added a layer of ivory cardstock to the front of the card. I die cut a large rectangle from the Amazing Paper Grace Picot Petite Rectangle dies out of gold cardstock and added it to the front of the card. I cut a piece of pearl ivory embossed paper from my stash to fit the inside of the decorative frame.

I die cut two large label dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Francesca Labels dies – one from ivory and one from gold cardstock. I cut the gold label in half and added it behind the ivory label offsetting the top and bottom of the label for a hint of gold. This was then added to the front of the card.

I die cut the wedding couple using the edge and wedding couple die from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Happily Ever After Dies out of gold cardstock. I then die cut three die cuts using the Happily Ever After die and border die out of ivory cardstock. I stacked the three dies together and then adhered these over the gold wedding couple die. I die cut another label from the Francesa Labels die out of vellum and adhered the decorative dies to the label. I then added the vellum label with the decorative dies to the other labels on the front of the card just by adding glue behind the die cuts.

I made a bow from the Amazing Paper Grace Petite Double Bow and Flowers Die set from ivory cardstock and adhered it to the base of the decorative dies. I die cut the flowers from the ivory cardstock and added them around the bow.

To finish I added gold pearls to the centre of the flowers and a large one at the top on the label.

A Heartfelt Love Wedding Card

Kia Ora and Welcome Back

Today I have a card that has taken some time to make as I was looking for the right embellishments on it.  This is a gatefold card that was inspired by Emma Lou Beechy from Heartfelt Creations when the Heartfelt Love collection was released last November.  I have embellished the card with Arianna Blooms and Wildwood Floral flowers and the leaves are from the Classic Leaf stamp and die set.  I have used iCraft flower making cardstock which is amazing to use for creating flowers and even making leaves.  I love the Ranger Archival inks and have used them to colour all the embellishments here.

I hope you have enjoyed this card.  Watch out for another beautiful Butterfly Dreams card on Wednesday.

More digital shabby chic

Hi there

I have been further developing my theme of digital shabby chic and using my wedding photos in a layout using shabby chic embellishments from a range of sources.  I have also used black and white photos to good effect (I think) in the second layout.

Two things I love about digital scrapbooking or art is 1) there is no mess and 2) there is an undo and redo button and you can change to your heart’s content.  I do have to watch that I stop before too much is definitely too much though.

These layouts would look lovely on the new photo panels or in the Everyday Display from Creative Memories.

As usual I will put the instructions on how I have made these layouts on my Digital Creations page.  I try to remember what I have done, but if you are unsure of any steps please feel free to contact me.

Wedding card

I have got a lot of inspiration from Pinterest and decided to try my hand at doing a wedding card, using a different range of techniques.

I have embossed a cream metallic paper with a cuttlebug embossing folder.

Then on some scrap paper I have drawn a template for a dress and used that to cut out the shape from the embossed paper.

With my Creative Memories Blossom place’n’punch I have punch out a flower from some cream metallic paper.  I creased all the edges and then cut one crease to the middle.  I have pleated up the flower and then glued to flower onto the waist of the dress.

I have made the small flowers out of using my Border Maker system twinkle chain cartridge.  I have glued them with my CM glue pen onto the bodice.  I then put some pearls onto the middle of the flowers and also the middle of the larger flower.

I then cut a piece of Divine dark brown paper to back onto my cardstock.

I cut an oval out of cream Divine paper and laid it over the top of the brown paper.  I also trimmed the cream paper to make the brown paper mat the cream paper. I just eyeballed how much I trimmed it.

I then stamped a Congratulations from Stamp’n’Up on a piece of scrap cream paper.  This was then matted in onto the brown paper and then placed it on the bottom front of the card.Cheers for now.  Patricia
