Amazing Paper Grace July 2022 Die of the Month

For today's Blog Hop I've prepared two projects: a card and a small basket.

I love the diamond-shaped pattern that is very elegant.

Today's creations were created with the dies supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.

There are 13 cutting dies included in the Tiara Trifold.

Here are pictures of my projects:

For this project, I used two additional sets of dies: S5-475 Fluted Classics Rectangles and

S5-434 Picot Petite Rectangles. Picot Petite sets have bigger size dies that can be placed under other dies. 

My second creation is a small basket.

 

I made colorful flowers using dies from the DOM set and decorated my basket.

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.

Supplies:

Make a Scene - Celebration Scene

Have you tried to make a scene already? 

If not, I ensure you that is super easy and at the same time very effective. Effortlessly fold the card and put it into the envelope. Then surprise your recipient with the 3D stunning card.

To create this scene you need S6-165 Card Base where you can find a beautiful banner to use. 

Inside, I created a scene with balloons and cake using the S5-440 Celebration Scene.  From this set, I especially love a  filigree balloon and cake insert. 

Here you can find all sets from the Make a Scene Collection designed by Becca Feeken Amazing Paper Grace from Spellbinders. 

Thank you

Amazing Paper Grace November Die of the Month Blog Hop - Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

If you haven't already jumped into Christmas preparations, are you ready to sleigh it? 

Today we are sharing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for November 2020 - Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh. This one is a little bit different because it folds down flat for mailing as do all the dies in the 3D Vignette lines.

Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace sent me these lovely dies to create with.

Poinsettia Sleigh Details

This die can be used as flat detail on a 2D surface but transforms into a 3D show piece so easily that we're happy you will have both options. Becca traditionally creates a high end die that doubles as a decoration piece in November of each year. Let's just call it icing on the cake for the holidays. It's really a satisfying venture to grab a cup of coffee and sit down to put it together as it is to set it out on the table. 

Today we want to inspire you to think of different combinations using the Poinsettia Sleigh. 

Here's what we had in mind:

1. Table Center Piece
2. Table Setting Favor
3. Filled with Candy and Goodies
4. Part of a Wonderland Menagerie
5. Flat 2D on the front of a card

In the comments let us know how you think it should be used. 

There are 21 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

My Project Today using the Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

My first project is a 3D Sleigh full of poinsettias. I used a blue paper to create the sleigh and I decorated it with silver mirror and glitter paper.

My second project is a card with the sleigh. I used the same poinsettias but with single layers of petals.

Supplies:

Stamps: none

Paper: silver mirror paper, glitter paper

Ink: Distress Ink Twisted Citron

Accessories: Amazing Paper Grace November 2020 Die of the Month - Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh 

P.S. In the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Encouragement Facebook Group there are two Step-by-Step Tutorials that take a novice through creating some spectacular poinsettias. I hope you'll join the group so that you have both of those methods in your toolbox. They'll come in handy this Christmas Season.

You can also view the 6.5 minutes Youtube on the Poinsettia Sleigh Assembly.

3D Project Step by Step - March Die of the Month - again

Amazing Paper Grace March Die of the Month again.

Because lots of people are up for how I did a mini table I decided to show you this project step by step.

Here you are March DOM. I used only these dies.

You will need 8 of the corner die cuts to make table legs. 

I used gold paper for this.

Use square die to cut one "tabletop". I did it with white paper.

I put two corners widthways of the white square. Secure them to the mat using tape.

Using a knife cut them exactly at the midpoint.

This is how they should look like. Complete all four pair of corners this way.

Put together two pieces of cut corners on cardstock and trace them. 

Use scissors to cut out the shape, background for corners. Make sure you cut a little more than trace to hide the edge of pink background under the gold corners.

This is what you should have.  You’ll need four of these.

Adhere gold corners on cardstock (I used pink this time) end to end.

You should have one tabletop and four legs.

Cut 4 strips (there are white on photo) and score in half.

Adhere white paper to the one panel at the edge (tabletop upside down) and then adhere panels side to side.

Using smaller strips, I attached legs together with the same way.

Here is the previous mini table I did for March DOM Blog.

Embellish outside with circle die and flowers. ENJOY!

Thank you for stopping by.
