Amazing Paper Grace September Die of the Month Blog Hop

Another month has come and this month behind the scenes we've been marveling at all the ways you can use the September Die of the Month called Snip It Flowers.  (Hint: Inspirational PDF attached)

At first glance, it looks like a background die; it is anything but a background die.  It was designed so that each of the flowers can be snipped out to create a panel, frame or element.  Whether you want the 4 x 4 frame, the 3 x 4 frame, a one layer border, a two-layer border or a corner, all you have to do is "snip".  Each one of us has taken the die and spun it into a creation - we hope to inspire!!


This die is so universal. Can be used as a background or single flowers. Petals are so delicate, just beautiful. I hope everyone will find some inspiration and will create amazing cards.

My Project Today:

My first card is a Birthday Card.
I cut a background using die of the Month from gold and white paper. I put them together using 3D tape. I cut off two flowers on the opposite corners.  I embellished my card with a blue bow. To make a card richer I put some small flowers on the top of  the background flowers.

My second Project

This card is mostly dedicated for children. It is simply and clear.
I cut three double flowers from die of the Month. I put some little flowers on the top in different colours. To create flowers I just  added leaves.

Supply List:
Paper:Paper: Pink Linen Textured Card A4, gold mirror paper.
Accessories: ribbon, embellishment, Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for September,

Amazing Paper Grace August Die of the Month Blog Hop

We're so tickled to get to show you a new Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for August called Elegant Knots.  Becca's dies don't normally have an abundance of embossing but this one has a ridge throughout the design so that it can be stenciled to add charm.  When released on August 1st Becca showed how easy it was to use for Valentines Day, Christmas and an anniversary - it goes with everything!! Each one of us has taken the die and spun it into a creation.
Please join us as we bring you more inspiration.

I really like the Elegant Knots dies. This is a set of 4 dies which can cut and emboss. Instead of an outer frame, I can use a rim die with an inner pattern to make a little bigger die cut.
With this amazing set, we have the possibility of making a big variety of cards or 3D items.
Today I prepared two different cards, elegant and floral.

My Project Today:

I prepared a base card using only the inner pattern die and a rim die. I cut two pieces and glued them together. 

I decorated the base card with one vertical, creme pattern shape. Then I cut two the same patterns, gold and white. While adhering them, I offset them a little and put them horizontally on my card.

I decorated my card with two little foamiran flowers and ribbon bow.

My 2 project:

My second card is A5 size. As a background, I used a floral paper. I die cut the Elegant Knots from floral paper as well. 

I decorated a card with foamiran flowers and white bow.

The sentiment "Wishing You Happiness" is printed.

Supply List:
Stamps: "Happy Birthday" (made by myself),
Paper: Neutral Linen Textured Card A4, gold mirror paper, Meadow Impressions paper
Ink: black ink
Accessories: ribbon, foamiran, soft pastels, embelishment, Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for August,

Introducing Royal Flourish | Card and Box Ensembles

Glimmeristas, I hope you are ready for more Glimmer Fun!!!  We have a new mini collection we are introducing today called Royal Flourish. With two card fronts as well as an oval border shape and square border shape - we'll have some stash-worthy things for you to look at. We thought it would be fun to make a card and a matching box using some of our favorite die sets and the new Royal Flourish Glimmer Plates.  It's easy to do and is a show stopper when we need to give a gift.

Inspiration for Royal Flourish

Have you ever noticed during period dramas like Game of Thrones that the Royalty each have their own insignia and way of writing? It's so cool and really fascinating that these things mattered to them.  There was actually a lot of thought and flair behind the written word.   It’s really no different today; we all have our own flourishes of style that we lay down to call things our own.  It was this spirit of honing a style that Becca said provided the inspiration for Royal Flourish.  Glimmer is such a lovely way to add rich detail and embellishment!

We've been especially loving using borders with glimmer.  For this collection, Becca created two border sets that you can cut with Hemstitch Squares and Hemstitch Ovals.   Card fronts that can take a sentiment seem to be the favorite, so happily there are two details plates that will make lovely frames to your favorite sentiments.

My Project For Today: 

I'm happy to introduce GLP-125 - Royal Flourish Glimmer by Becca Feeken Imperial Adorned Ovals Foil Plate.

I prepared a gift box for today. In contrast to my previous projects, this one is black.
Firstly, I made a frame from matt black paper. I used the S4-981 Shadowbox Frame with 1" Border from the Shadowbox Collection. To add a little subtlety, I used a gloss, black Glimmer Hot Foil only on the front of the frame.
Next, to create the cover of my gift box,  I took two pieces of thick chipboard and cut them to have a back and front side.
I covered the outside with black paper and the inside with gold matt.

I decorated the outside of the box with black oval elements with gold Glimmer Hot Foil. I used the plates that I'm introducing today. The sentiment is from Elegant Occasion Sentiment Glorious Glimmer Hot Foil.
To finish my project, I put a gold ribbon to complete the decoration of the box.

My second project: a card.

I made a card using the same plates GLP-125 - Royal Flourish Glimmer by Becca Feeken Imperial Adorned Ovals Foil Plate. and the sentiments "Happy Birthday" from Elegant Occasion Sentiment Glorious Glimmer Hot Foil 

Availability:

These plates are available right now on the Spellbinders website —–>HERE

Amazing Paper Grace May Die of the Month Blog Hop

This month's Nostalgic Serenade Card Frame Die Set is absolutely amazing. It is a little bigger than most of dies. From the same die, you can prepare a big A5 card or you have a possibility to create a beautiful 3D project, such as a box, a book cover or basket.

My Project Today:

I prepared a box for a card. Firstly, I made a base from a white paper. I cut off the longer part of the die cut and glued it to the base as a handle.  

Then I made a rest of the box. On the top, I cut out the hole using the second die (in terms of size) from the set. I took a rectangle, bigger paper than the hole on the top and cut out the decorative pattern. I glued it underneath the hole. I cut three pieces of the frame with a hole in the centre, from white and gold paper. I adhered them alternately on the top using 3D tape.

As you can see I decorated the box with a bow and some flowers.

My second project:

My second project for this hop is a card.
The cover is made from two pieces of die cut (white and pink) adhered using 3D tape. Front and back of the card I connected using a narrow ribbon. I decorated a card using flowers and leaves.

Supply List:

Paper: white 250gsm paper, digital paper, gold paper
Accessories: ribbon, pearls, flowers, 3D tape, Platinum Die Cutting and Embossing Machine, May Die of the Month

For this month's Die of the Month, we cut it up and folded it up!
