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:

I'm excited to introduce  S4-1048 - Elegant Twist Circles Etched Dies from the Elegant Twist Collection by Becca Feeken

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.

Availability:

These Elegant Twist Collection, including my Die S4-1048 - Elegant Twist Circles and plates are available right NOW on the Spellbinders website!

Amazing Paper Grace May Die of the Month Blog Hop

We just love dies that transform into different things!  When you look at this die template there is no limit to the ways it can be fixed and flipped and folded to give you a beautiful prop, box, or card.  Welcome to the APG May 2020 Die of the Month - Fleur de Lis Grandeur Fold Over. 

We often talk about that "easy to use die template" that you reach for time after time after time.  

This is one of those.  This month after using it we've seen it make the most darling filigree envelope that simply requires cutting and folding.  We've seen it make a simple notecard that will produce a card in under five minutes.  We've seen it make a box top that simply takes the time to score and fold the box and drape the die over the top.  As always, the die makes a card that goes from just die-cutting to one that has layers of the filigree elements crisscrossed.  Lol, do cards make themselves?  

Almost with this one - that puts in on our "goto" list.

Here are the dies included in the set:

My project today:

My first inspiration for today's Hop is a horizontal card with decorative sides. 

On the top, I added two layers of square beautiful die-cut, gold and cream.

Flowers are made with a die from this set. 

Sentiment on printed firstly on a paper and then die cut.

My second project is a box with triangular walls. 

I die cut each side with die without an outline and then I added the same die cut twice with the outline.  At the top of my box, I cut out holes to tie it up with a ribbon.

Supply List:

Stamps: none; sentiment is printed 

Paper: Mint, creme and gold paper

Ink: none

Accessories: APG May 2020 Die of the Month – Fleur de Lis Grandeur Fold Over

Harmony Doily

My new inspiration for Amazing Paper Grace.

I used  S4-1061 Spellbinders Pointed Harmony Doily Etched Die set from the Dimensional Doilies Collection by Becca Feeken 

Flowers are handmade. The light pink roses are made with Spellbinders dies (S5-050 Donna Salazar Rese Creation), one of the first dies I ever bought.

The dark pink flower is made with S4-1015 Candlewick Rosebud - one of my favourite.

Leaves are from S4-1025 Sweet Cottage Flowers

To decorate I used a little of White Gesso and glitter.

I also added a decorative element made from resin and painted Prima's paints.

Thank you for stopping by
