Amazing Paper Grace September Die of the Month Blog Hop

Another month has come and this month behind the scenes we've been marveling at all the ways you can use the September Die of the Month called Snip It Flowers.  (Hint: Inspirational PDF attached)

At first glance, it looks like a background die; it is anything but a background die.  It was designed so that each of the flowers can be snipped out to create a panel, frame or element.  Whether you want the 4 x 4 frame, the 3 x 4 frame, a one layer border, a two-layer border or a corner, all you have to do is "snip".  Each one of us has taken the die and spun it into a creation - we hope to inspire!!


This die is so universal. Can be used as a background or single flowers. Petals are so delicate, just beautiful. I hope everyone will find some inspiration and will create amazing cards.

My Project Today:

My first card is a Birthday Card.
I cut a background using die of the Month from gold and white paper. I put them together using 3D tape. I cut off two flowers on the opposite corners.  I embellished my card with a blue bow. To make a card richer I put some small flowers on the top of  the background flowers.

My second Project

This card is mostly dedicated for children. It is simply and clear.
I cut three double flowers from die of the Month. I put some little flowers on the top in different colours. To create flowers I just  added leaves.

Supply List:
Paper:Paper: Pink Linen Textured Card A4, gold mirror paper.
Accessories: ribbon, embellishment, Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for September,

Flourish

Hello,

I'd like to show you my new card.

I took a mint paper and die cut flourish pattern without two outer rims. I did it on both sides of my card - up and down. Beneath this paper, I offset a little the same gold design.

I decorated my card with Foil Flowers Glorious Glimmer.

I used one square plate from Crowned Rimmed Squares Glimmer to decorated one element with gold foil.

I used:

S4-996 - Delicate Tendril Border Etched Dies Vintage Treasures by Becca Feeken 
GLP-127 - Crowned Rimmed Squares Glimmer Hot Foil Plate 
GLP-037 - Foil Flowers Glorious Glimmer Hot Foil Classic Plates by Becca Feeken

Thank you
Kate

Introducing Vintage Treasures Blog Hop

We are so tickled today to be introducing  Vintage Treasures. You'll find a collection chalked full of classics!!  As always, there is a rectangle, oval, square and circle that will work well with everything in your stash and are perfect for layering. Next are several embellishment sets.  As you hop through all the links in the blog hop, you'll see all the new dies and how we used them.

Inspiration for Vintage Treasures

There is a special place in our hearts for those things kept in a hope chest.  Other than a promise of the future, they symbolize things of value and keepsakes that bring back treasured memories.  I delved there to find memories, filigree jewelry and keepsakes of old.  From long-forgotten turn of the century jewelry to the edgings on an old tattered handkerchief, I love bringing the past into the present in a style that is ....well, timeless.  These things -- bejeweled lockets, a sweet tiara and vintage adornments from long ago -- provided the sweet inspiration and restoration of some lovely, lovely Vintage Treasures.

The physical dies in this collection have an extra measure of flexibility and function.  Most templates have an outer rim, and inlay and an inner rim that you can use for your sentiment.

My Project For Today:

I'm tickled to introduce an adorable set of dies S4-990 Bella Luce Oval Etched Dies Vintage Treasures by Becca Feeken.
I think that the oval frame is magnificent and so elegant. Marvellous outer rim makes the card luxuriant and exceptional.

I used gold and delicate pink papers as a background. An oval pattern I cut from a gold paper. In the middle, I put the smaller oval floral background and two layers of the outer rim. To add dimension I used a 3D tape for each element. 

I decorated my card with handmade flowers using an adorable set of dies Spellbinders S4-995 Cinch and Go V Etched Dies Vintage Treasures by Becca Feeken.


Here is what the plates actually look like:

My second card is made using Spellbinders S5-393 Tiffany lavaliere Etched Dies Vinatge Treasures by Becca Feeken.
  

Here we have so many combinations of background and layers.
I used light green and creme colours with extra gold. I decorated this card with handmade flowers using the smallest dies of Spellbinder S4-995 Cinch and Go V Etched Dies Vinatge Treasures by Becca Feeken. Tinny flowers are so cute. I added some pearls too and word "Thank You".

Availability:

These plates are available right now on the Spellbinders website —–> HERE

Christmas card for APG - Gold 2 Merry Christmas

I started creating this card a few months ago.  My intention was to make a birthday card but after I cut the background I lost the idea.

When I'd got the beautiful Collection - A Charming Christmas by Becca Feeken I decided to finish my card.

The background is created with Graceful Damask from Amazing Paper Grace Collection.

Then I used a beautiful Charming Snowflake Doily Etched Die

and Yuletide Snowflakes Etched Dies
