Halloween Card

 

Besides we have July now I decided to make a Halloween card. The "Merry Everything Words" set has 8 different words and a tag. I used this tag and 2 words "Happy Halloween". 

All tags are colored with Distress Inks, and words and awful spiders are cut from black cardboard (I hate spiders).

Spiders are from S3-405 Spooky Boo, where you can find a cat, bat, and the net.

Thank you and have a nice day.

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:

Beautiful flowers with Sweet Blooms Border

 Hi everyone! 

Have you seen my last card featuring a Sweet Blooms Border Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Delicate Impressions Collection? I love this plate so much so I decided to create another card. 

 I had a lot of fun creating this one. The flowers are so beautiful.

I coloured my card's background using waterbased dye ink "Oasis". Then I foiled a Glimmer Sweet Blooms Border twice on a white paper using a Gold Foil. I coloured them with Copic markers. Using scissors I cut the flowers out and arranged on the background.  

In the middle I put sentiment foiled from GLP-218 Heart Melt Sentiments. 

I hope you like it 💓 

I really appreciate if you leave a comment

Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace supplied the dies for my use today.

S4-1071 - Spooky Cottage Etched Dies Halloween Collection by Becca Feeken

S6-153 - Spooky Cottage Etched Dies Halloween Collection by Becca Feeken

My Project for Today:

Today, I'm using a die designed by Becca Feeken from Amazing Paper Grace called S4-1071 - Spooky Cottage Etched Dies Halloween Collection by Becca Feeken, available at Spellbinders.

Firstly, I created a slimline card and then I decorated a Cottage (S6-153) with (S4-1071) Spooky Cottage Dies. Both in the same style.

Honestly, It is the very first time when I made Halloween cards. I have never made them before. My first thought about Halloween was black and purple so I decided to use these two colours.

I started with the panel 3,93 x 8 inches. From outside to inside I ink blended with 4 Distress Ink to create a card's background. I splattered top of my card with white, acrylic paint.

Next, I die cut trees, fences, mummies, wood plans, bats and arranged a scene. To colour mummies, I used alcohol markers. 

To colour the Cottage I used the same Distress Inks. Roof tiles, mummy and tree were coloured with alcohol markers. The windows are made with vellum paper. Door and window frame is die cut from plain paper painted with gold acrylic paint. 

I've been really enjoying with these Halloween sets of Dies. They give you lots of possibilities to create.

SUPPLIES:
Stamps: none
Paper: white paper, black paper
Ink: Distress Ink: Scattered Straw, Picked Raspberry, Dusty Concord, Stormy Sky
Accessories:  The Halloween Collection from Amazing Paper Grace by Becca Feeken,, S4-1071 - Spooky Cottage Etched Dies Halloween Collection by Becca Feeken, S6-153 - Spooky Cottage Etched Dies

Elegant Twist Circles | Hello

Hello my Friends,

I'm sharing a "Hello" card featuring Elegant Twist Circles Dies designed by Becca Feeken. I used my favourite colours: pink and mint.

I love vintage style cards. I used a "Vintage Photo" distress ink on the background to add a little colour on the edge of a card and I stamped a script on it.

In the middle, just around the clock, I adhered a large ring. I cut it using the outer and inner rim and pattern between. I used a foam 3D tape to add a dimension.  In the same way, I die-cut a middle size ring and fit it a little under. 

I cut the Stamperia flowers right up to the edge using my little scissors and put them on the bigger circle.

In the middle, I put the small circle. I stamped it using a Script Stamp.  Then I add a sentiment "Hello" with the coordinated background.  Lastly, I embellished my card with handmade flowers.

Supplies:

S4-1048  Elegant Twist Circles Dies 

DOMAPG-APR19  Elegant Swivel & Sashay Card  (Hello)

S4-1015  Candlewick Rosebud  (flower)

S4-1022  Candlewick Grand Pocket  (flowers)

Amazing Paper Grace July Die of the Month Blog Hop - Fanfare

Hello Gracelets!!  You are about to fall in love with the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for July 2020 – Fanfare.  This large filigree filled oval reminds us of an oval doily. The open aperture center works like a frame for images or even a shaker. Use only half to make it appear rounded or as a border or pocket. The fan motif can be cut, tucked in, or layered to create a number of embellishments in no time. Ahhhh, romance, can you ever get enough?

Thank you Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace for the dies to use today. 

Fanfare Details

Not only do you get the large romantic die that fits a 5x7” card or frame, you get a smaller fan motif die that will make corners or embellishments. Four flower dies allow you to create beautiful dimensional accents. What a great value, above and beyond the low kit price! But if you’re on the fence, use code JULY to get 10% off your first month, subscribe here! (New club subscriptions only, for a limited time.) Fanfare is a $45 value.

These are some ways to use Fanfare:

1. As a Background
2. As a Large Frame
3. As a Shaker
4. Make Corner Embellishments from the Fan motif
5. Flowers!
6. Cut in half the short way to make a topper
7. Cut in half the long way to make a border or edge
8. Fold in half to make a pocket

How many ideas do you have?

There are SIX dies included in the Fanfare set

My Project Today using Fanfare

This month I prepared a card 13x18cm and a napkin holder. This set of dies is so amazing that I decided to create a simple card to show the uniqueness and style of this set.

I adhered a pale pink paper onto my card as a background. Anyway, I love this colour. 

I die cut a shape from a dust blue paper and white and gold a decorative pattern die cut. 

The sentiment is printed. In a graphic programme, I usually match the size of my sentiment to the size of the die-cut and then I print it.  

I embellished my card with handmade flowers made with dies from July DOM.

If you want to decorate your table or put something unique you can create a napkin holder using July DOM.  It's very easy to make. You only need to die cut the shape with a decorative pattern. Then cut it in a half and then you have 2 sides of your holder. To hold the napkins inside I put there a small box.

Supplies:

- DOMAGP-JUL20 Fanfare

- Texture paper: pink, blue, white,

- gold mirror paper

- ribbon, pearls

Summer card

Happy Monday Friends!

Today I have a card to share featuring the Spellbinders new Collection designed by Becca Feeken. 

This Collection is called the Elegant Twist and it contains 6 sets of dies.

For this card, I used outer rim and pattern together from the large square and the same combination with a  medium square. 

To create a sentiment I foiled one "You are on my mind". This comes from Borders and Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plates from the Elegant Twist Collection by Becca Feeken. On the picture, it seems silver but in reality, the colour is changing depending on what angle you look at it.

I embellished my card with handmade flowers (APG June Die of the Month) and leaves

I will never forget your kindness

I'm excited to be back today with a card that I made using a beautiful die called Splendid Trilliant from Elegant Twist Collection by Becca Feeken.

I die cut the background of my shape and two layers with inlay design. I have adhered them so that they are slightly offset. 

To create a sentiment I foiled "I will never forget your kindness" using Glimmer Hot Foil Plates from The Elegant Twist Collection and Gold Foil, cut out using a rectangle die. 

I foam mounted onto my card.

Using flowers dies that come with Candlewick Grand Pocket I created small flowers to decorate my card. 

Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget to check out the newest Collection from Becca Feeken.

Have a great day!

Amazing Paper Grace June Die of the Month Blog Hop - Snip It Grid

Are you ready for another versatile Snip It Grid Die?

As a member of the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team, I receive free product for use in my projects. 

Hello Gracelets!!  We are so tickled to share our inspiration for the newest Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for June 2020 - A2 Snip It Grid and Calendar Creator.  In fact, since Our earlier Snip It Die was a hit and Becca decided to give you another option with lots of extras!  All of us on the Creative Team want to show you our take on how to use it.

Snip It Grid Extras

The extras added on to this die set make it a wonderful value.  In addition to the grid, you get an entire lower case alphabet plus enough of the upper case alphabet to do Day of Week abbreviations and Months.  If you are already a Member of the Die of the Month Club then you might be tickled to know that this lower case alphabet matches the Upper Case alphabet from October 2019 Die of the Month - One Kind Word (still available).

We kicked around how we might use the die and here's what we came up with:

1. Background
2. Large Frame
3. Double Frame with two apertures
4. Calendar
5. Snip out the cross pieces and make a lined background
6. Shaker Card
7. Weaving
8. Crossword Puzzle

Okay, okay, you get the idea!  But we want you to know that this transforms and gives you so many unique options.

Here are the dies included in the set:

My Project Today using Snip It Grid:

Today I'm showing you a Birthday Card. I used letters from the set to create a Happy Birthday sentiment and the date. 

My second project is a little box with ribbon and handmade flowers. On the right side I put a gold sentiment "On This day".  Flowers are incredibly beautiful.

Supplies: 

Stamps: none

Paper: printed

Ink: Distress Ink picked raspberry,  Distress Ink evergreen bough

Accessories:  APG June 2020 Die of the Month - A2 Snip It Grid and Calendar Creator, ribbon
