Introducing Candlewick Sampler | Giveaway



If you're a "Gracelet" or by chance happened by the Amazing Paper Grace website over time, you have no doubt wondered how Becca comes up with her names and inspiration.  Today, we're excited to give a little peek into a new collection and the inspiration.  Join us as we share lovely creations made using Candlewick Sampler

Since the age of 12 Becca has loved fiber - she quilts, knits, crochets, does cross stitch and before becoming a Licensed Die Designer sewed most of her own clothes. Fascinated with intricate textures and the look of laces, fabrics, and embroidery, Becca tried to replicate the look and feel of those textures in dies.  Candlewicking has such a distinct look and Becca thrilled at the prospect of getting that look and feel into a die.  If you've loved her lace look collections or that elegant look of Hemstitch, you'll love Candlewick Sampler. 

The Inspiration Behind Candlewick Sampler

Candlewicking is a type of whitework embroidery normally done on cream or white fabric embellished with cream or white french knots.  The series of french knots create the outlines of the pattern giving it a unique look while adding a touch of elegance.  In these dies, you can see rounded motifs that hint at the texture of dots.  Without overpowering, it's a sweet little detail present on all the dies in the collection.  Plus, it just happens to be the perfect spot to place a pearl.  Google candlewicking and you'll see exactly what we mean.


My Projects For Today

I'm introducing a S3-382 Candlewick Colonnade Border - Candlewick Sampler Collection by Becca Feeken. This is a set of two dies that includes a beautiful intricate topper inlay design and an outer top cut piece.




For my project today I made a Wedding Invitation and Respond Card. I used a textured peach paper. Firstly,  I cut the opposite sides of the paper and I folded two cut pattern to inside. In this way I prepared a Invitation.
The respons card I just have cut one patern on the left side and put the text on the right side.

Here is what the plate actually looks like.

My second project: 




My second project is a pendant decoration. I cut twelve cut dies. Firstly I glued 2 pieces together 6 times then I glued them all together. I decorated it with a bow and flowers.

Availability:

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