Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Serenade Notecards Intro Blog Hop

 

The Sweet Serenade Notecard Collection is simply to extend a sweet thought or warm greeting to let them know you’re thinking of them through a heartwarming notecard. The inspiration behind this collection is the ability to create beautiful notecards. 

Everything in this collection coordinates together from the card base to the embellishments to the stamps to make wonderful notecard creations! Notecards also make a wonderful gift as a boxed set! 

Swoon your family and friends with a special handmade gift! 

Make it seasonal for fall or for the holidays. Maybe a specific style such as soft vintage, clean and simple, or even a mixed media twist!

Today's projects were created with dies provided by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace.

My Projects for Today

 I'm using S6-185 Flourished Sonata Notecard. 

I prepared for today's Blog Hop 4 Thank You notecard. 

Two of them are slimline format 8"x4" and the second two are made from the same format but fold and the final size is 4"x4 3/4".

I used floral stamps from SDS-170 and small flowers from S3-420 to decorate my first two bigger cards. The smaller notecards have fewer flowers but you can open and close them. 

For the whole set, I made coordinated envelopes and a white box.

Amazing Paper Grace October Die of the Month Blog Hop – Flourished Fleurit

Elegance is our go-to style at Amazing Paper Grace. We are always on the hunt for those elegant elements that you can add to a card that gives it just the right feel and appeal. This month we're head over heels for a year around a cascade of tendrils that can be snipped here and there to be used for top and bottom card decoration. Say welcome to the Amazing Paper Grace October 2021 Die of the Month - Flourished Fleurit.

The inspiration for Flourished Fleurit comes from looking through our stashes for just the right Rectangle or just the right Square. Guess what - Flourished Fleurit can be both. A snip here or a snip there puts give is just the right proportion to be a rectangle or a square. We cleverly added in sprigs of flowers so that you can cover your transitions. Hunting for elegant corners for a slimline - look no further. A slip or two has you covered.

Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:

1. Snip between all four corners for slimline decoration
2. Snip between the connecting rod and cinch for a square
3. Cut as a rectangle for a beautiful A7 layout with many options.

Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.

There are 9 dies included in the Flourished Fleurit.

My Project Today using Flourished Fleurit.

Because the Holiday time is coming I decided to create a Christmas card. I use white and gold paper. I coloured edge of the background with a red marker and inked by Distress ink. Then I painted white cardstock with an Americana Decor paint to have a beautiful red coloured paper. I die cut a main shape and added a white back.

I foiled the sentiment from the last year GLP-194 set. I used a gold foil. 

At the bottom I added a white bow with a decorative jewellery. 

In addition to my card, I die cut the same big, main shape and cut off every corner to decorate the envelope. At the back I glued a smaller element cut from the same painted red paper. 

Designer Tip: for glimmer hot foil system I use 250gsm paper that gives a fantastic effects.

Christmas Card with Mosaic Bracket

 Hello Friends, 

Today I prepared a simple Christmas card featuring the Mosaic Bracket Card Builder from Amazing Paper Grace. 

I cut the pattern 3 times and glued them together creating a nice background. Under that, I put a watercolor pastel paper. From the same set, I die cut a sentiment "Happy Holidays" from gold paper and added a white background. 

I decorated my card with small blue snowflakes from S5-465 Celebrate Scrollwork Card Builder. Small holy leaves are from S5-464 Merry Filigree Card Builder. 

All sets of dies you find in the new collection the Holiday Medley. 

Thank you

Kate
