Halloween Collection from Amazing Paper Grace includes 3 sets and one of them is S4-1069 Nested Clipped Squares. They perfectly suit with spider net from S3-405 Spooky Boo but I used them for Christmas card as frames. They are so versatile that you can die-cut full clipped square or frame. What more, the frame can be thin or thick.
Flowers are handmade. I use pattern paper to make them and 2 sets of dies. The bigger flower is created using S4-1022 Candlewick Grand Pocket from Candlewick Sampler Collection (by the way, this set of dies is on sale in great price just now and include 3 different sizes of flower!)
Amazing Paper Grace has gone back to her roots with classic sewing inspired motifs! Introducing the Picot Petite Collection!
Becca Feeken sent over these lovely dies for me to try.
Over time we've had lace-inspired designs and have loved the feel of Hemstitching and Candlewicking. Reminiscent of needlework and treasured handwork proudly displayed, Becca Feeken has developed another classic line of layering shapes that feel so much like tatting or picot crochet. As you might imagine, these shapes are crisp, clean, and timeless. Whether you are simply adding a classic layer to a card or cutting an aperture to highlight a lovely sentiment - these shapes mix and match with other sewing inspired motifs as well as intricate backdrops.
Today you're in luck! Our Creative Team is sharing makes from the Picot Petite Collection.
Classic Shapes are Timeless
With each Classic Collection, Amazing Paper Grace creates the most popular die-cutting shapes in oval, round, square, and rectangles. Moreover, these classic shapes mix and match with Hemstitch Classics, Candlewick Classics, Elegant Twist Classics, and now Picot Petit.
The Inspiration behind Picot Petite
If you've ever seen tatting, the little loop produced along the edge is called a "picot". It's this little loop that is the basis for the border on all of the Petite Picot shapes. They are lovely as a backdrop for any other layerings as the little picot peeks out. It's just a subtle way to bring in the ways of classic needlework to give texture and dimension to the backdrop of our cards.
Each of our Creative Team members will show you their take on cards made with a classic picot flair.
My Projects For Today
First up is S5-432 Picot Petite Squares by Spellbinders.
Here is what the dies look like:
Classic shapes dies are one of those must-have dies. You can simply create a card only with these dies or use them as a supplement.
For today's Blog Hop I prepared a card in pink-purple colours. I used small and medium squares. On the big one, I put a frame from gold and white paper. Under squares, I used foam tape to create dimension.
