Hello Crafty Friends, Today I would like to remind you about a fantastic 3D Collection from Amazing Paper Grace - 3D Vignette Collection. It also includes: 3D Vignette Hot Air Balloon, 3D Vignette Retro Television, and 3D Vignette Twin Lens Camera.


I've made a card telling "You're Pawsome!"  to get a friend to celebrate a friendship.
To make a pet house I used  S6-199 3D Vignette Pet House. This awesome set includes a pet house as well as pets: dog and cat.

3D Vignette Pet House

To make a pet house and dog I used a water colour paper and coloured them with watercolour paints created by Jane Davenport. 
For my card's background I used a Mintay Paper "Cosy Evening" what inspired me to use a watercolour paints.

The last Christmas card with Flourished Ornament Slimline



Hello my Crafty Friends!
Today I'm back with my last Christmas card this year. 
I hope you all will have a wonderful and joyful holiday time. Unfortunately, I can't spent this Christmas with my mum and my daughters. I'm after a surgery and I need time to recovery so travelling would be difficult. Maybe next year.


For this slimline card I used a die designed by Amazing Paper Grace - S6-201 Flourished Ornament Slimline from the Christmas Flourish Collection. Decorative Christmas balls are cut from mirror gold paper with red and white background underneath. 



The sentiment Christmas comes from S5-534 All Hearts Come Home A2 Cardfront

Thank you and Merry Christmas

Amazing Paper Grace | The Home Sweet Quilt Collection Intro Blog Hop


Hello my Friends. This is the first time ever when I used quilt dies. I have 2 different cards for you. 
The first one is a 6x6 flat card with sentiment. For the second project I made 2 Christmas tags.

Dies were provided by Amazing Paper Grace for today's creations.


My Projects for Today

For today's projects I used 3 products from the new Collection:

S5-545 Layered Windmill
S5-545 Layered Windmill


E3D-046 Orange Peel Quilt Embossing Folder

STP-156 Quilty Hugs Sentiments Clear Stamp


My first project is a 6x6 flat card. 

To make a background I cut a smaller square than my card. Then I die cut a shape in the middle using inner diamond.  I glued it to my card and the rest I embossed with  Orange Peel Quilt Embossing Folder


From another piece of paper I die cut one more time my triangles. Before I did it,  I inked the paper with 4 colours  getting nice ombre.


The sentiment "Quilty Hugs" comes from Quilty Hugs Sentiments Clear Stamp


My next images present small Christmas tags that can be add to presents or even to Christmas tree. 


I used similar style to colour my trees. I used 4 colours of 1 tone to achieve an ombre. The stars come from the same set as the sentiment "Quilty Hugs".

Amazing Paper Grace December 2022 Die of the Month


What a sweet set of hearts we have this month. Holding this set in my hands, I had to make something for a baby. That was my first thought. Additionally, I made a small envelope decorated with patterns on both sides.
 
Today's creations were created with the dies supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.

There are 14 cutting dies included in the Sweetheart Envelope and Notecard Set.


Here is my first project.  2 hearts slimline card for a new baby. 
With one of the edges of the die, I die-cut the sheet of paper creating a heart shape. I didn't cut till the end of the die. Just only to make a heart shape. 
Then I did the same on the other side of the paper creating the same shape on both sides.



The beautiful circle in the centre comes from the S6-177 Scalloped Symphony Notecard


I also added gold die-cuts. One is put under a circle a two are under hearts.


The sentiment "BABY GIRL" comes from S5-512 My Sweet Friend. I die cut the words from the same paper as the circle and the rest of my card. I glued them on the rectangular sheet of paper. I also rounded the corners with scissors.

My second project - a sweet envelope.


The small yellow heart is folded, and it can be used as a small letter or card. Just write wishes and put them inside the envelope. 


This is the back of my envelope. The inside paper was colored with inks.

Noel is just around the corner


Today, I'm back with another simple Christmas card. This time I've made something different, I mean I used different colours as usual. 


As a background I used a dark blue paper and embossed it with Holly Flourish 2D Embossing Folder. Before I do it I wet the paper that helps me to enhance details. Moreover, the wet paper embose easier and looks better. 


On the top, I put red Noel Frames with sentiment "Noel". Holly leaves come from the same set S5-535
Noel Mini Slimline Frame


I hope you like it and my card inspire you to create Christmas card with this beautiful die.

Thank you
Kate

Amazing Paper Grace | The Postage Edge Shapes Collection Intro Blog Hop



Hello my Friends,

Today I'm presenting card and gift tags that can be added to boxes or bags featuring Postage Edge Squares.

Today's creations were made with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

My Projects for Today
I'm so happy that I could use this set of square dies. Postage Edge Squares give so many possibilities as you can see in my pictures.

Here is the die I used: 

I have made a flat card 6x6 using so many colours. 



And here is my first Christmas tag.


I got back to the Christmas collection from a few years ago and used some dies from them. 
The sweet small tag that I used for all my cards comes from S6-153 - Shapeabilities Charming Cottage Box.  From the same set, I took the Christmas tree and Swirl Accent.
The sentiment "Jingle all the Way" comes from S4-1145 Jingle Word Frame from the Holiday Medley Collection.


At the top, I placed a sweet reindeer from GLP-287 Deer Friend Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set
I used a Hot Foil Glimmer System to foil the gold reindeer and the blue frame. 


I think the glossy frame suits perfectly to the new collection and it adds some luxury. It comes from GLP-283 You are My Home Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die. The blue foil is GLF-015 Glimmer Hot Foil Roll - Skybright.



My last Christmas gift tag is made in reddish colours.  The sentiment "Joy" is die cut from gold paper and it comes from S5-430 - Holiday Word Blocks- Christmas Cascade.  The small poinsettia comes from the same set.
The green leaves are from S5-535 - Noel Mini Slimline Frame.


Because Christmas time is just around the corner I made more Christmas cards than others. 
But as you can see, tags can be used for Birthday presents as well.
 

The sentiment "Happy Birthday" is taken from S4-1206 - Happy Occasion Words. You can find there much more sentiments. The flowers are coloured with inks. I used S5-484 - Primrose Heart Façade


I added some delicate leaves inked with Distress Ink Twisted Citron.
