Amazing Paper Grace October Die of the Month Blog Hop – Flourished Fleurit



Elegance is our go-to style at Amazing Paper Grace. We are always on the hunt for those elegant elements that you can add to a card that gives it just the right feel and appeal. This month we're head over heels for a year around a cascade of tendrils that can be snipped here and there to be used for top and bottom card decoration. Say welcome to the Amazing Paper Grace October 2021 Die of the Month - Flourished Fleurit.

The inspiration for Flourished Fleurit comes from looking through our stashes for just the right Rectangle or just the right Square. Guess what - Flourished Fleurit can be both. A snip here or a snip there puts give is just the right proportion to be a rectangle or a square. We cleverly added in sprigs of flowers so that you can cover your transitions. Hunting for elegant corners for a slimline - look no further. A slip or two has you covered.

Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:

1. Snip between all four corners for slimline decoration
2. Snip between the connecting rod and cinch for a square
3. Cut as a rectangle for a beautiful A7 layout with many options.

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



There are 9 dies included in the Flourished Fleurit.



My Project Today using Flourished Fleurit.
Because the Holiday time is coming I decided to create a Christmas card. I use white and gold paper. I coloured edge of the background with a red marker and inked by Distress ink. Then I painted white cardstock with an Americana Decor paint to have a beautiful red coloured paper. I die cut a main shape and added a white back.
I foiled the sentiment from the last year GLP-194 set. I used a gold foil. 
At the bottom I added a white bow with a decorative jewellery. 

In addition to my card, I die cut the same big, main shape and cut off every corner to decorate the envelope. At the back I glued a smaller element cut from the same painted red paper. 

Designer Tip: for glimmer hot foil system I use 250gsm paper that gives a fantastic effects.

Christmas Card with Mosaic Bracket

 Hello Friends, 

Today I prepared a simple Christmas card featuring the Mosaic Bracket Card Builder from Amazing Paper Grace. 


I cut the pattern 3 times and glued them together creating a nice background. Under that, I put a watercolor pastel paper. From the same set, I die cut a sentiment "Happy Holidays" from gold paper and added a white background. 


I decorated my card with small blue snowflakes from S5-465 Celebrate Scrollwork Card Builder. Small holy leaves are from S5-464 Merry Filigree Card Builder
All sets of dies you find in the new collection the Holiday Medley


Thank you

Kate

Joy Crescent Card Builder | Amazing Paper Grace Spellbinders

 Good morning crafty Friends,

This week I present a winter card 6x6 made with Amazing Paper Grace dies. I used S5-466 Joy Crescent Card Builder. With this set, you can create different size cards, from A2 to slimline. It only depends on your imagination.  


Elements from the hero set are cut from thick pearl paper. Under a Joy to the World, I put a vellum paper.


To embellish my card I made poinsettias with S4-960 Cinch and Go Poinsettia. I used Distress Ink to add some colours.
