Amazing Paper Grace Pearls and Lace with Love

I have another soft and romantic card full of pearls and lace to share with you today featuring the beautiful Amazing Paper Grace March 2022 Die of the Month – Bella Ovalette. I have been going through my stash of papers and dies and found this absolutely beautiful pearl embossed paper that my daughter had bought for me from Sydney many years ago. It is such a soft and pretty silver/blue colour and was perfect as the background to the stunning dies. Everything is included in this Bella Ovalette die set including the flowers and leaves and all I needed to add extra was the sentiment from Beccy’s Place. Lots of different layers on top of the embossed paper makes this card so ‘amazing’ in real life.

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

My Project

For my card I have made a top folding 5″ x 7″ card out of white cardstock. I trimmed the blue/silver paper to 4 7/8″ x 6 7/8″ and added it to the front of the card.

I die cut the one decorative base out of white cardstock using the large decorative frame and then die cut two decorative frames using the decorative frame and the inner rectangle frame from white cardstock. These were stacked together and then added to the card front. I then die cut 4 decorative rectangles using the plain rectangle die, the middle decorative die and the inner plain die out of white cardstock. I stacked these together and added them inside the larger decorative frame.

I die cut two inner decorative accents using the small accent die and the circle die and adhered them together.

Using the decorative accent as a guide for placement I stamped the sentiment from Beccy’s Place on one of the discarded inner panels from the rectangle dies using Tuxedo Black ink. This stamped inner panel was then added to the inside of the rectangle frames.

I die cut the flowers out of soft flower shaping paper and coloured one set with light blue ink and the other set with light yellow inks. After spritzing the petals with water I shaped them using a small and medium ball stylus on foam mats. Once dry these were arranged on the bottom right and the top left of the rectangle frame as shown.

I die cut the leaves from the light green cardstock and added them around the flowers as shown.

To finish I added pearls to the flower centres and on the die cuts.

Amazing Paper Grace Flowers and Butterflies

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's CreationsLeave a comment

Today I am taking a fresh look at the Amazing Paper Grace Home Sweet Quilt collection by Becca Feeken. My card today was inspired by a card I saw on Pinterest and I thought that I would challenge myself further and make a shaker card using the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Panel Dies from the Home Sweet Quilt collection. I have added some pretty coloured flowers and butterflies from the Amazing Paper Grace Seasonal Label Motif Collection by Becca Feeken.

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

My Project

I have made a 5″ x 7″ side opening card base from heavy white cardstock. I cut a piece Hammermill cardstock 5″ x 7″ and adhered it to the front of the card. I then cut a piece of white cardstock 4 3/4″ x 6 3/4″ and die cut the hexagon panel out on the left side using the hexagon panel die from the Amazing Paper Grace French Braid and Hexagon Panel Dies. I die cut the outline of the hexagon panels out of white cardstock and adhered it over the die cut panel. I cut a piece of acetate 5 3/4″ x 3″ and adhered it behind the die cut panel on the back. I then added foam strips around the panel and over the rest of the front panel on the back and added some iridescent heart sequins behind the die cut panel and added it to the card front to create the shaker element. I added some of the pieces left over from die cutting the hexagon panel to the left side of the panel to create a base for the leaves and flowers to lie on.

I die cut the flowers from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Dies and the Spring Label Motifs Dies out of Hammermill cardstock and coloured the pink flowers with Light and Medium Carnation inks and the blue flowers using Crystal Violet and Alpine Aster inks. I die cut the leaves and stems out of two green coloured cardstock using the leaves and stems from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Dies, the Spring Label Motifs Dies and the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Cherry Dies. I then arrange the flowers and leaves over the left side of the card using liquid glue and foam squares.

I die cut the butterflies out of vellum using the butterfly dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Summer Label Motifs Dies. I coloured the vellum wings with Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade inks and assembled them with a black body. These were placed over the flowers.

Finally I die cut three ‘With Love’ sentiments from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Dies out of Hammermill cardstock and stacked them together before adhering to the bottom right of the shaker panel.

Amazing Paper Grace Apple Blossoms With Love

On By patriciamanhireIn Patricia's Creations1 Comment

My favourite season of the year is Spring because it heralds warmer and sunnier weather and lots of flowers and beautiful scents! Today my card has been inspired by spring and apple blossoms are just the embodiment of spring. The soft pink flowers just waft in the gentle spring breeze and brings lots of bees to pollinate (as well as pretty butterflies) so we can have apples in the autumn!

I love making flowers using Amazing Paper Grace dies and have used a mix of older dies and newer dies to create this card. I love the little flower die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – March 2020 Elegant Infinity as it can be used in so many different ways. Here I have paired the flowers with the leaves and branches from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Cherry Blossom dies to create a branch of apple blossoms and added them to a gorgeous decorative background. I love this sentiment from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia die and it makes this card perfect for Mother’s Day or any other occasion to show your love.

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

My Project

For my card I have created a side folding 5″ x 7″ card base and added layers of gold and cream cardstock. I have die cut a pretty decorative frame out of cream cardstock using the Amazing Paper Grace Eyelet Lace Frame Die. I have backed this decorative frame with a gold frame and added it to the card front with foam tape. I have then die cut the gorgeous decorative lattice using the dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Emmeline Treillage Dies. I adhered it to the discarded cream panel from the decorative frame and then trimmed the edges before adding this to the inside of the frame.

For the apple blossom branches I die cut the branches from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Cherry Blossoms Die out of white cardstock and green cardstock. I coloured the white cardstock with brown alcohol markers and then adhered these to the green branches. After I coloured the edges with brown alcohol markers I then adhered them to the card coming down from the top right of the card.

The flowers have been made using the larger flower die from the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – March 2020 Elegant Infinity. I made some open flowers and some buds and used some small stamens from my stash which were perfect here. Apple blossoms tend to be in bunches so I have created some bunches using a combination of open flowers and buds. The leaves have been die cut using the leaf dies from the Amazing Paper Grace Layered Cherry Blossoms Die out of green cardstock and added to the branches. The leaves are also in bunches on apple trees and I have tried to do the same here.

The sentiment is from the Amazing Paper Grace With Love Regalia Dies and I have die cut three dies – one from gold and two from white cardstock. These have been stacked together with the gold die on top and adhered to the bottom right inside the frame.

I could not resist putting a pretty vellum butterfly from the Amazing Paper Grace Butterfly Bliss Garden Shutters Die on this card but a bee from the Amazing Paper Grace Just Bee-cause Hot Foil Plate in gold would have been great too. The pink on the butterfly tied in well with the colour of the flowers.

To finish I added some pearls to the flowers on the frame and the centre of the flowers inside the frame.

Scroll past the photos for a list of the products I have used.
