Amazing Paper Grace February Die of the Month Blog Hop – Bella Diamante


This month's Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month is an elegant tall card with a diamond motif as a focal point. It's a new shape to the line-up and today I'm introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for February 2021, Bella Diamante.

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

Becca says a book cover with had four elegant corners inspired her, she thought it was a dreamy and dramatic way to showcase a frame. Bella Diamante is a 5 x 7 card front, with several element layers and rims to use as inlays. These multiple rims and elements will allow for both A2 and A7 cards. Elegance reigns supreme with the ability to create shaped cards, framed cards, or simply embellish with class.



There are 7 dies included in the Bella Diamante


My Project Today using Bella Diamante
I prepared a shaped card from white paper. On the top I glued a gold frame and gold and mint pattern. The sentiment was printed and die cut. 
Using a small flower die included in a set I made some flowers and decorated my card.

My second project is a small box. Using a a big die a created a lid to my box. On the top I put 3 small flowers with a bow.

For My beautiful Friend - Hot Foil Stamp


Because I really love watercolour paint I decided to prepare my own background paper.  I used Jane Davenport watercolour paints JD-042 dropping blue, green and purple on a wet paper. In the same way, I created a pink paper for my flowers (DOMAPG-JUN20, S4-1015).


I used the outer rectangle frame from Spellbinders S5-414 Sentimental Finery.  Then I used a beautiful set of dies from Spellbinders S5-422 Rosa Diamante.

I foiled the sentiment "For my Beautiful Friend" in gold foil. I used a coordinating die to cut die.


Thank you for stopping by :)

A card with a bow


I used a beautiful frame from Spellbinders S5-415 Ornamental Valance. I cut die it twice, from gold and blue paper. I glued them together and slightly offset. 

In the middle, I put the sentiment that I printed on a white paper. Decorative elements come from Spellbinders S4-1016 Candlewick Canopy. In the end, I added a grey bow.
