Making Spirits Bright

 Hi evryone,

Today I'd like to share with you my new inspiration Christmas card made for Amazing Paper Grace. 


In the middle, I foiled a sentiment "Making Spirit Bright" from GLP-194 Elegant Holiday Glimmer Sentiments. This set includes 3 large plates and 2 smaller. On my card's background, I foiled a decorative frame using GLP-103 Gilded Nested Rectangle.


I made small poinsettias using S4-960 Cinch and Go Poinsettia and decorated my card.  I put leaves from November 2020 Die of the Month. 
Little birds are die cut from a gold paper using S5-428 Holly Frame Gala.  This set is absolutely amazing and includes birds, ornaments, deer, bow, holly leaf, ornament hanger and more.



I hope you like my card. 
Leave a comment to let me know. Happy Wednesday!

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

Amazing Paper Grace December Die of the Month Blog Hop – Rose Garden Promise


Today I am introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for December 2020, Rose Garden Promise. 

Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace sent me these beautiful dies to create with.

Becca shares her inspiration for this 5x7-inch frame-worthy card front that resembles the look of stained glass. She says, " 'God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December,' a quote by James M Barrie. It is precisely that quote that inspired me to think of roses at the end of the year. It has much to do with the promise of an approaching spring, buds bursting forward, and the gift of hope. As one who loves rituals, I finished off 2019 with a die template that featured roses and decided it was worthwhile to pay them homage at the end of 2020."

Isn't it only fitting to go forward with hope for the future and for new and worthwhile things that will break through. From the entire Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team, let this be a beautiful end to your year; we hope that through making, it brings with it the bonus of lovely memories.

We want to inspire you with different combinations using the December Die of the Month, Rose Garden Promise etched die. These are a few of our ideas!
  1. Stained Glass
  2. Wedding Card
  3. Shaker Card
  4. Anniversary Card

I bet you can come up with a few, share them in a comment!


There are four (4) dies included in the Rose Garden Promise


My Project Today using Rose Garden Promise

I prepared a card using colourful papers. Firstly, I die cut roses from white cardstock and glued everything on the paper. Then I die cut each petal separately using different colours. I did the same with leaves. Every element was embossed to make some dimension. 
It was quite time-consuming but worth it. 

The sentiment was foiled from Heart Melt Sentiments from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken. I used a gold Roll Foil and Glimmer Hot Foil System. 




My second creation is a box decorated with gold Roses. I die cut from a gold mirror paper and cut off two corners with roses. On the box's sides, I glued decorative elements from the same set.
