Let it Snow | Amazing Paper Grace

Let it Snow, let it snow, let it snow... 
Have you seen these snowmen before? I'm sure, you have. 
This week I made a card with two handsome snowmen holding banner "let it Snow". 


They come from S5-533 Let it Snowman from the Christmas Flourish Collection.


I added some snowflakes from the same set in blue and silver colour.

Merry Christmas in red

Hello, my Crafty Friends!

How are you today? I hope you all are fine. My today's card is a Christmas card made in white and red.


I hope you have not enough Holiday creations and look forward to enjoying the family time :)  

Firstly, I used the Holly Flourish embossing folder to make a fancy background. 


Then I die-cut a red Flourish Merry element and decorated it with gold Christmas balls.


The sentiment "Christmas" comes from the same set as the rest of my die cuts, from Merry Flourish
I die-cut it twice. The one is from white paper and the second is from a gold piece that I put underneath the white. I like the combination when I put the gold die cuts underneath the proper ones slightly displaced.

Christmas Card with JOY


Hello Crafters! 
Today I have prepared a simple Christmas card. As I said the last time I have more of them in store. 
I had to make some cards in advance because I'm going to have leg surgery. Then it will be challenging to make crafts with a broken leg.


For this card, I used S5-532 Joy Flourish Doily. This set comes from the Christmas Flourish Collection where you can explore more Christmas sets. 


This is a 6x6" card. I used mint paper as a background and then gold and white.

In the square, I cut a circle to make space for a sentiment JOY. The square and sentiment are placed on 3D tape. On the top, I put a decorative element also using 3D tape. I love layering cards :)

I hope my creation inspires you to make beautiful cards. 

Thank you for joining me today.

Christmas Card with 2 birds

Hello my Friends,

Today I'm showing you a Christmas card created with the Sugarplum Tweets. The card is flat with no special decoration or flowers. It makes it easy to put to envelope and send to the relatives.

I'm currently working with the Christmas Flourish Collection so you can expect more Christmas cards in the close future.

I prepared a 6x6" card with a red background. I used a embossing folder and red ink to make it.

Celebrate Scrollwork Card Builder | Amazing Paper Grace


Hello my Friends,
I'm going to show you today my next Christmas Card. I made it using 3 different dies + 1 circle die or any decorative die in a circle shape. 
As a background, I die cut a beautiful scroll pattern twice and glued them onto my card. 

In the middle, I put a decorative element. I used S5-431 Picot Petite Circles in blue colour. 

Then, I foiled the Wreath with sentiments "Seasons Greetings & Merry Christmas" and bells on white paper using Glimmer Hot Foil Roll Teal.
Filigree Wreath comes from GLP-197 Filigree Glimmer Wreaths

What a magical sight to see a beautifully decorated Christmas tree with gifts piled high around its trunk! The Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree includes a set of graduated trees for a full dimensional design, along with details of presents, bows, and ornaments to complete this set. Change up the colors for an elegant or casual look. Best of all, it folds for easy mailing. Use just the elements to work with a flat card format from A2 to A7. Detailed die cuts make it easy to personalize for the holidays. The choice is yours!

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

My Project Today using Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree. 
I prepared a 3D project with white trees and a slimline card. 
In front, I placed a matt gold tree's shape with a red decorative outline. |At the bottom, I put many presents cut from the same gold paper.

I love the perforation around the trees so I decided to enhance it on my card. Decorative sentiments are a perfect addition to my card and the 3D project.

The last Christmas Card in 2020

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today is penultimate day of 2020 and I know that Christmas is over but I'm still feeling the festive spirit. Here you are my last Christmas card in 2020.


I used S4-960 Cinch and Go Poinsettia to create beautiful flowers. They are so sweet and delicate. I love them.  I used Distress ink to add some colour inside. 
I added some snowflakes from S5-429 Snowflake Splendor. I put them under flowers and on the background. Christmas leaves are from November 2020 Die of the Month where you can find amazing small flowers poinsettias and these leaves.





Thank you for watching and have a nice day!
Kate

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

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

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.
