Amazing Paper Grace May 2022 Die of the Month Blog Hop

For today's blog, I prepared 2 projects: 3D Vignette Oven and a card. 

My creations were created today with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

There are 14 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette What's Bakin' Oven.

My first creation is a 3D Vignette Oven. I made it in cream colours with gold decorations. 

My second project is a card. I use light and darker pink paper. As you noticed I love gold additions and this time I used gold paper as well. 

The card's shape is cut with S4-1013 Gilded Nested Rectangle Dies and decorated with GLP-103 Gilded Nested Rectangle Glimmer.

To decorate my card I used small flowers and leaves.

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. 

To cut out my glimmer foiled wreath I used a circle decorative outline that comes from the S6-177 Scalloped Symphony Notecard.

I also used S6-175 Hemstitch Slimline from Amazing Paper Grace. From white paper, I die cut large and medium rectangles. The medium one I inked with Distress Oxide Ink - Spun Sugar and Kitsch Flamingo. Deers are foiled with gold and brown Glimmer foil rolls.

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

Sweet Blooms Border Glimmer Hot Foil Plate

The last Delicate Impressions Collection designed by Amazing Paper Grace contains Glimmer Hot Foil Plates. One of them is GLP-234 Sweet Blooms Border. I can say that this is my favourite. The flowers are amazing. 

I foiled the border once on the left side, then I flip it and foiled again on the right side. This way I have covered my card. I used a Glimmer HotFoil Roll Gold and Glimmer Hot Foil System from Spellbinders.

The sentiment is foiled from the GLP-218 Heart Melt Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set.

To colour my card I used Jane Davenport watercolour paints.  Flowers are painted by JD-042 Watercolor Set Brights and leaves are painted by JD-091 Watercolor Set Glitz-Sea.

Introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cardlets Collection

 

What's a Cardlet, pray tell?  A Cardlet is a small motif, complete with background, sentiment and character that combine to make small card or layers onto a larger card.  We're delighted to introduce you to the Sweet Cardlets Collection.

Becca Feeken sent over these lovely dies and watercolors for me to try.

Sweet Cardlets show up in a Glimmer format with a matching die.   They are metal plates that are used in the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System to transfer foil to paper through a combination of heat and pressure.  The Glimmer machine base is rolled through your die cut machine to deliver that pressure.  As long as you have a machine that can accommodate thick dies - like steel rule dies, you're all set. 

A word to the wise, it is very addicting.  (Compatibility charts on the Spellbinders website)

The Inspiration behind Sweet Cardlets

We gotta fess up here.  There's no such word as cardlets, yep, Becca straight up made it up.  You have to agree though, it sounds really cute, right?  Well that was the inspiration behind sweet cardlets.  As you can imagine it has something to do with cards and moreover, little cards.  

Always mindful of the budget, Becca wanted to create a collection where each set is all you need to make a little card.  Sweet Cardlets are small motifs with a 3" x 3" footprint.  Each has a background, a main character and several sentiments.  

We found it the right size to fit on an A2 card and even to layer onto an A7 card.  In fact, the 3" background can be repeated for a long background or a larger background.  Dies cut out each main character and three sentiments with each set give you lots of options.

Each of our Creative Team members will show you their take on cards made with the Sweet Cardlets Collection.  Today we're all using Jane Davenport Watercolors in some technique to show off Sweet Cardlets.

My Projects For Today

First up is Amazing Paper Grace GLP-237 by Spellbinders.

Here is what the dies look like:  

Today I created a card and cover for mini notes. 

I started my card by painting flowers using watercolour paints by Jane Davenport. I have never tried that before but honestly, I love this type of background. 

To create them I used colours: Fairytale, Ladybug, Mystic and Royal from  JD-042 Watercolors Set Brights ArtEssentials by Jane Davenport. Leaves are painted by Water Spirit colour from JD-091 Watercolors Set Glitz-Sea ArtEssentials by Jane Davenport. 

When I finished my flowers I started to add glimmer embellishments. I used a beautiful honeycomb Glimmer plate from GLP-237 Just Bee-cause Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Die set and a GLF-032 Prism Glimmer Hot Foil. You can foil your paper first and then paint the background.

To foil my little bees I used a GLP-006 Pink and GLF-015 Skybright (light blue) Glimmer foil. I think that they suit great to my flowers' colours.

In the end, I have foiled "So Proud of You" sentiment from GLP-219 Heart Felt Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set Sweet Cardlets by Becca Feeken.

My second project, the mini notes cover. I've made it the same style. I've painted some delicate flowers and have added bees and honeycomb. 

Designer Tip: 
Watercolour - If you want to have a beautiful watercolour effect make sure you use a watercolour paper. A proper paper doesn't work with this kind of paints. 

Glimmer Hot Foil System - before every use put an ordinary thin paper on the surface of your Glimmer Machine and then put your plates. This helps to keep the surface flat and undamaged.

Here is the Spellbinders video showing amazing new samples as well as a walkthrough of the entire collection.c
