Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Medley Intro Blog Hop



This magical menagerie of dies helps celebrate one of the most festive times of the year through paper crafting! The Holiday Medley Collection consists of eight die sets and a Glimmer Hot Foil Plate Set that coordinates with one of the die sets. The array of dies can be mixed within existing die sets to offer more creative options. These include the Make a Scene Card Base and 3D Vignettes. The versatile new Merry Filigree Card Builder, Celebrate Scrollwork Card Builder and Joy Crescent Card Builder sets create different card formats from A2, A7, Mini Slimline, to Slimline. In addition, you can remove the Christmas Motifs and use them year-round. Visit each of the designers’ blogs for inspiration and ideas from the Holiday Medley Collection!



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

My Projects for Today

I'm using S4-1146 All is Calm Word Frame.  

I've created a slimline card ard and 2 small cards with Christmas wishes. In the first one, I did a pattern background using a pattern insert. On the top, I put the same square with a scallop square. 
My small poinsettia is made using APG November 2020 Die of the Month - Pop Up 3D Poinsettia Sleigh




My second project is 2 small cards that can be used as wishes cards. They can be sent in an envelope to your friends or you can put them on the table beside the plate.

It's time to start Christmas cards


I know that it's only August but Christmas is coming quickly. I used Bless Your Heart Vignette from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken. I wanted to show you how easily you can arrange your card with not Christmas die. 


Poinsettias are handmade with Amazing Paper Grace die S4-960 Cinch and Go Poinsettia


In the middle, I put the sentiment NOEL. You can find it and 3 more in S5-430 Holiday Word Blocks from Christmas Cascade Collection. 



Thank you

Kate

Romantic Chargeour by Amazing Paper Grace

Today, I prepared a Wedding card using a S6-174 Romantic Chargeour Die. The decorative insert is so beautiful and delicate. I think it's perfect for a wedding celebration. 


On the diamond insert, I stamped a sentiment from the same as the S6-174, Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken. 




Than you

Kate

Amazing Paper Grace August Die of the Month Blog Hop – Lattice Petal Foldover



It's a square card front! It's an envelope! It's both!! In the transformers world of dies, we love for our dies to be used in many different ways. This die was designed to function as both a card front and for the petals to fold over to enclose a notecard. The pretty lattice filigree is just the icing on top. Welcome to your stash, the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for August 2021 - Lattice Petal Foldover.

You asked and we listened. Our May 2020 Die of the Month was so popular that we made a slightly smaller, dainty version. Becca said that the inspiration for this die set is all about the Note Card. As someone who loves to drop a little notecard into lunch boxes, drop them into packages, and even leaves them on the door for delivery people - this is quick and easy. Die-cut 10 of the lattice petal jackets and 10 of the 3" (or 3x6 for a folded note) notes for inside and you'll always be ready with a stunning note.

Here are some ideas that will inspire you to create with the foldover elements:
1. A box with the foldover as the lid
2. Notecards (there is even a closure piece)
3. A sweet, petite basket


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


There are 14 dies included in the Lattice Petal Foldover.




My Project Today using Lattice Petal Foldover.

Firstly, I made a slimline card. I used crescent inserts, put them together, and cut beautiful, decorative, circle motifs. On the top, in the middle, I put 3 squares, 2 in blue colours and 1 in pink. 
I also created small roses and put them on my card. 



My second project is a box with a decorative lid. I used a big die to embellish it.  I also added smaller elements cut from gold and purple paper.
