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

Have a nice week.

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.
