Introducing Elegant Twist Blog Hop | Amazing Paper Grace



Elegant Twist Die Collection by Amazing Paper Grace

It's time to introduce another new collection from Amazing Paper Grace. Whether your handmade cards are made up of detailed die-cuts or clean and simple die-cuts, we all have something in common - we love to start with a base shape. 

As a member of the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team, I receive free product for use in my projects. 

The newest Classic Die Collection from Amazing Paper Grace is Elegant Twist. It is a classic set of Rectangles, Squares, Circles, and Ovals with a curvy elongated bordering pattern that reminds us of the undulating pattern of a rope and that's where it gets its name. Elegant Twist gives you an elegant twisted border base shape to either stamp on or layer on.

Inspiration for Elegant Twist

We're tickled about this unique rope inspired pattern. Moreover, it is romantic and draws the eye toward the center of the design. Or do you see something more masculine or nautical?  Beyond what meets the eye, Elegant Twist has a twist! By simply placing two of the same designs back to back, you get a lovely criss-cross pattern! 

Elegant Twist is designed to layer or pair with the other classic finishes in the Hemstitch Classic Collection and the Candlewick Classic Collection. The Elegant Twist set features 7 dies that allow you to have either a frame or a filled-in bordered design. All in all, the Elegant Twist Collection is something different to give your cards or panels a unique flair.

My Project For Today:


For my card, I used the same pattern for the background and a smaller circle. I added a gold layer and a purple layer of large circle pattern. For the medium circle, I added only the gold layer.

I used the same paper pattern for creating a bag. I added a medium circle with 2 layers of colours. All are decorated with a bow and handmade flowers.





To create my flowers I used a die S4-1022 Candlewick Grand Pocket where you can find 3 flowers dies.

The Introducing Flourished Fretwork Blog Hop


The Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team and I are so thrilled to be able to show you the new dies that are a part of the  Flourished Fretwork Collection.  Hop through with all of the designers to see what they have made!

Inspiration for Flourished Fretwork 

Becca wanted to make the Flourished Fretwork dies to have a very wide appeal so the dies are created to do many things.  The dies were designed so that they could be layered on top of or behind so many of the dies you have in your stash.  They are also designed as the central point to an A7 card but are also small enough that they can make A2 cards as well.

This collection is full of rims and the ability to create shadow layers, each die gives you several options.  Whether you like an intricate layer or the solid layer, the choice is yours!

My Project For Today:

I'm tickled to introduce S4-1047 Richelieu Square Etched Dies Flourished Fretwork.
I created a Wedding card 6x6.



Firstly I die-cut the small square inlay from white paper and cut it in half. I adhered them on the opposite side of the card.
Next, I die-cut the large square from white cardstock. Again I used a small square die. I cut two pieces, creme and gold and adhered them on the top of the other slightly offset them.
I repeated this process one more time with a circle.
In the middle, I put a small tag with "It's Your Wedding" sentiment.
I decorated my card with a bow and flower


My second Project 

I created an exploding box with a cake inside. The sweets or little gift can be put inside the box instead of cake. On top of my handmade little cake, I put a rose made with Sweet Cottage Flowers.  On the box's lid is a flower as well made with the same die but I created it in a different way.




Availability:
These dies are available right now on the Spellbinders website —–> HERE
