Graceful Swan by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace.

 Hi Friends,

Today I have a card featuring GLP-236 Graceful Swan Glimmer Hot Foil Plate and Die Set. This set is a part of the Sweet Cardlets Collection by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace.

I also die cut a square from S5-432 Picot Petite Squares and put it under my swans.

A sentiment is foiled with a plate from the same set as swans. I used 3 colours of foils to achieve an interesting effect. 

Thank you for stopping by

Amazing Paper Grace November Die of the Month Blog Hop - Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

If you haven't already jumped into Christmas preparations, are you ready to sleigh it? 

Today we are sharing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for November 2020 - Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh. This one is a little bit different because it folds down flat for mailing as do all the dies in the 3D Vignette lines.

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

Poinsettia Sleigh Details

This die can be used as flat detail on a 2D surface but transforms into a 3D show piece so easily that we're happy you will have both options. Becca traditionally creates a high end die that doubles as a decoration piece in November of each year. Let's just call it icing on the cake for the holidays. It's really a satisfying venture to grab a cup of coffee and sit down to put it together as it is to set it out on the table. 

Today we want to inspire you to think of different combinations using the Poinsettia Sleigh. 

Here's what we had in mind:

1. Table Center Piece
2. Table Setting Favor
3. Filled with Candy and Goodies
4. Part of a Wonderland Menagerie
5. Flat 2D on the front of a card

In the comments let us know how you think it should be used. 

There are 21 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

My Project Today using the Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

My first project is a 3D Sleigh full of poinsettias. I used a blue paper to create the sleigh and I decorated it with silver mirror and glitter paper.

My second project is a card with the sleigh. I used the same poinsettias but with single layers of petals.

Supplies:

Stamps: none

Paper: silver mirror paper, glitter paper

Ink: Distress Ink Twisted Citron

Accessories: Amazing Paper Grace November 2020 Die of the Month - Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh 

P.S. In the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Encouragement Facebook Group there are two Step-by-Step Tutorials that take a novice through creating some spectacular poinsettias. I hope you'll join the group so that you have both of those methods in your toolbox. They'll come in handy this Christmas Season.

Lovely Ladybug by Amazing Paper Grace

I'm really excited about the new collection Sweet Cardlets by Amazing Paper Grace. 

This time I prepared a card with GLP-235 Lovely Ladybug Glimmer Hot Foil Plate. In this set, you can find a stunning background Pattern, ladybug glimmer plate with dies and 2 lovely sentiments.

I started by cutting 3 small squares from watercolour paper. I painted them with 3 different colours with JD-042 Watercolors Set Brights ArtEssentials by Jane Davenport. Then I foiled a background pattern with a gold foil on each of them. Using my scissors I cut off the excess of paper to show a beautiful pattern. 

I made the frame using S5-399 Candlewick Rectangles. I connected two rectangles to make my frame a little higher. 

In the end, I added stunning ladybugs from a white paper and foiled with a gold foil.

I foiled the sentiment "With Grateful Thanks" from GLP-219 Heart Felt Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set.
