I'm back with another project created from the recently purchased <a href="https://www.pinkfreshstudio.com/search?q=folk+snowflake" target="_blank">Folk Snowflake set</a> which I fell in love with. The main component was to create a background using the <a href="https://www.pinkfreshstudio.com/products/folk-snowflake-stencil" target="_blank">layering stencil sheets</a>. For the title, I used one of the sentiments from the <a href="https://www.pinkfreshstudio.com/products/folk-snowflake-stamp" target="_blank">Folk Snowflake Clear Stamp Set</a> and die-cut it with its coordinating <a href="https://www.pinkfreshstudio.com/products/folk-snowflake-die" target="_blank">die set</a>.</p><p>I'm submitting this page as a part of the <a href="https://www.pinkfreshstudio.com/blogs/card-making-challenges/december-2023-challenge" style="font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px;" target="_blank">PinkFresh Studio December 2023 Holiday Vibes Challenge</a> using the color palette shown.</p><p>The picture was from an Alaskan Cruise with the glacier behind us...lots of snow and ice. So this set was perfect to showcase this picture. LOL! Also, I wanted to create a CAS-style (Clean and Simple style) page. I loved how this turned out :)</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtxR5uSVrXjKhFe7a4uDzvG4ZdswFST20wIcTF2ordLJMXVpwHW3k54GrbzbbwmvJEnmjtVHWIMWIlyY21PKUYmSaNTH7blna8kE4eoOKMcfg6yAlTxS5_-tQCo_77UItChTpRSkkHzXNHT6gWsmjjnFBUmdVWFqThBuSHv4lbZDhMXGqzD3OrkQ/s800/800wm%20Winter%20Greetings%20SB%20LO%20Margie%20Higuchi%20Main.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgtxR5uSVrXjKhFe7a4uDzvG4ZdswFST20wIcTF2ordLJMXVpwHW3k54GrbzbbwmvJEnmjtVHWIMWIlyY21PKUYmSaNTH7blna8kE4eoOKMcfg6yAlTxS5_-tQCo_77UItChTpRSkkHzXNHT6gWsmjjnFBUmdVWFqThBuSHv4lbZDhMXGqzD3OrkQ/w400-h400/800wm%20Winter%20Greetings%20SB%20LO%20Margie%20Higuchi%20Main.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><p>First I randomly stenciled the snowflakes with different colored inks to create a soft background.

<p>This standard A2 card has triple cardstock layers and two layers of 3D Foam Creative Sheets die-cut with the outer label and the inner label dies. The larger outer label is covered with gold glitter and the smaller inner label is covered with foil. They give a stunning texture and effect to the card front.</p>

<p>I love the shape of this month's set that inspired me to do a shaped card, along with an open box full of tea. It makes for a sweet pick-me-up gift for someone who is not feeling well. Do you think it will work? I sure hope so!<br /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><i><b>My creations were created today with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.</b></i></p>
<p>There are 12 dies included in the Bella Ovalette.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: left;">My Projects for Today's Hop: Get Well Soon Shaped Card</h2>
<p>First, I die-cut two of the largest outline shape in white cardstock and patterned paper. By scoring an inch from the top, I created a hinge on the back of the white cardstock shape. Simply add adhesive to that top scored area and married the two pieces together to make the top-fold shaped card base. The patterned paper side is the front card base.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgW8R1BKWel2CeJIax_IsqOQyxxW1u9zP4aGHjrKD_K_2MWImiB0iDM_6PXKl1cw3z7jx1Q4Bye2FNEr3TFFq1hICruDLIH7BkcxfRQ6GtVLARgShPub6Hu9_Or8kKotPj7aqF_i3Hz-t1xAMfNX8jwGzAJylHkqaEzsrg0nYo2TVaY2wEIKfg=s711" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="565" data-original-width="711" height="318" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgW8R1BKWel2CeJIax_IsqOQyxxW1u9zP4aGHjrKD_K_2MWImiB0iDM_6PXKl1cw3z7jx1Q4Bye2FNEr3TFFq1hICruDLIH7BkcxfRQ6GtVLARgShPub6Hu9_Or8kKotPj7aqF_i3Hz-t1xAMfNX8jwGzAJylHkqaEzsrg0nYo2TVaY2wEIKfg=w400-h318" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<p>After nesting the largest outline and its insert dies together, I die-cut with white cardstock. Add to the card front. Next, I die-cut the rectangle shape and then nested the rectangle shape with its insert die to cut all in white cardstock. Adhere all those pieces together to create the card centerpiece and then pop up the embellished rectangle with Crafty Foam Tape to the card front.</p>

<p>To finish the card front, die-cut the accent die in patterned paper, and center on the card front. Lastly, die-cut all the flowers and leaves in a combination of white, yellow, light, and pale green cardstock. Assemble the flowers as desired and place pearls in the centers. Stamp a sentiment from the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/just-a-note-sentiments-tag-clear-stamp-die-set-from-sweet-serenade-notecards-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">SDS-169 Just a Note Sentiments & Tag Clear Stamp & Die Set</a> in vellum, cut into a strip, and add in the flower clusters.

<p>Die-cut two rectangle shapes in white cardstock. Nest the rectangle outline die with its insert die in patterned paper to create the box front. Adhere together with one of the white rectangle shapes. Then die-cut the accent piece in white cardstock and center on the box front. Create your box base in white cardstock and assemble.</p>

Wonderful mixed media artist friend, Tina Walker, called out to makers interested in contributing to her article over at StencilGirl earlier this year. Well, I ended up creating two projects. One for Tina's article, <a href="https://margieh.blogspot.com/2021/01/stencilgirl-woodland-mushroom-canvas.html" target="_blank">Woodland Mushroom Canvas</a>, and this one, Mushroom Gills Cloud Canvas. As a fan girl of Debi Adams' style and design, I had to showcase this stencil because I LOVE how it turned out! LOL! </p><p>When I researched more about mushrooms, I had no idea the different colors there are! Inspired by the unique coloring, I grabbed my Gelatos and stencil paste to go to work! What do you think?</p>
<p><i>**I receive products from Faber-Castell for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**</i></p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Making the Background</h3>
<p>I used a piece of 2.5 x 3.5-inch mixed media paper to create my ATC. The background was colored with three Gelatos and then blended with a baby wipe. Keep layering colors until you get the desired look. Let dry.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Adding Colors</h3>
<p>Before adding colors, I placed the Mushroom Gills Stencil back on the dried paste. It would serve as a guide when I wanted precise coloring. </p>

There are three full mushrooms in the center.

What I created with this wonderful background die from <a href="https://craftfancy.com/" target="_blank">Craft Fancy</a>. I've always wanted a plaid-inspired design and this contemporary motif fits the bill! Let me show you how I made this card so you can recreate one too!</p>
<p>**I receive products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**</p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Wickerwork Card Panel</h3>
<p>For the card panel, I cut a black, red, and white cardstock with the <a href="https://craftfancy.com/collections/craft-fancy-exclusive-die/products/cf240-wickerwork-craft-die" target="_blank">Wickerwork</a> die to make the background. Slightly shift each color to peek through for interest. Secure each layer with the Dual Tip Glue Pen.</p>

<p>Although there are many ways to create with this wonderful <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/amazing-paper-grace-die-of-the-month-membership/" target="_blank">Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree</a> set, I made mine as a gatefold card with the split between the two larger trees. This was so much FUN to create especially using papers like silver mirror cardstock and red glitter paper, and the perfect bling (Christmas Lights Bling) to decorate the tree! Let's get started.</p>

<p><b>My Project Today using Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree.</b><br />On a piece of 8.5 x 5.5-inch cream cardstock, score on the long side at 2 1/8-inch and 6 3/8-inch and burnish the score lines to create your A2-size (4.25 x 5.5-inch) gatefold card base.</p>

Let's work on the embellishments. Die-cut the smallest tree in green for the outline die and nest with the insert die to cut the silver mirror cardstock. Die-cut the medium tree in silver mirror cardstock for the outline die and nest the insert die to cut the green cardstock. You should have a total of four tree shapes. Adhere the matching shapes together to form two trees.<div><br />

Using various scraps of patterned paper, I die-cut the different boxes and lids. Not shown here but I die-cut the ornaments in cream cardstock and red glitter paper. Assemble everything together and set aside to work on the sentiment.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0t23gz8EfOzQWP9pSLEQBwKIxcTlUT4fIbtyYqhrwivZN5Wkk_G2qsivtmrkZPEDVsD37OKBhVps0mJw-diJ18yM7DJp92k5zN-3O4GdfZBF2-eby8t8j_cLMbpbrfaXD4MA0nA/s800/800+Christmas+Tree+Gatefold+Card+Margie+Higuchi+NOV21+Step+6.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh0t23gz8EfOzQWP9pSLEQBwKIxcTlUT4fIbtyYqhrwivZN5Wkk_G2qsivtmrkZPEDVsD37OKBhVps0mJw-diJ18yM7DJp92k5zN-3O4GdfZBF2-eby8t8j_cLMbpbrfaXD4MA0nA/w400-h400/800+Christmas+Tree+Gatefold+Card+Margie+Higuchi+NOV21+Step+6.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>I decided to place the sentiment over the pile of presents. With the busy patterns, I chose to use cream cardstock for my sentiment strip, nest the banner, and insert dies together to die-cut. Then die-cut the banner outline die in silver mirror cardstock.

Use 3D Foam Strips to adhere it on top of the presents.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46_k2RsfIqWMd01SCDPMqSlI2MBluV5iYLvR9Mh4a_F8Zne_-0m8A6ab7MAN-TGdQA9qAvtZLNcpJkQiwPRp4pgLqhL0Pgi1ROyDcxb_PU1BsJvmb9MDkTbtLl74XsYVsK6A_UA/s800/800+Christmas+Tree+Gatefold+Card+Margie+Higuchi+NOV21+Step+7.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj46_k2RsfIqWMd01SCDPMqSlI2MBluV5iYLvR9Mh4a_F8Zne_-0m8A6ab7MAN-TGdQA9qAvtZLNcpJkQiwPRp4pgLqhL0Pgi1ROyDcxb_PU1BsJvmb9MDkTbtLl74XsYVsK6A_UA/w400-h400/800+Christmas+Tree+Gatefold+Card+Margie+Higuchi+NOV21+Step+7.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAoh5MxPsU7ifdVlUN2bDUBF4wSA6LFfxj2xdTo5hwB1m9VUMxd6sPA_P8FGckoP2wTsG39D6dyOq3y8NzzUtidFoxky1L07vzVrZR_myICgHotiq5vW0DNGgFgArzbSwjbvYimw/s800/800+Christmas+Tree+Gatefold+Card+Margie+Higuchi+NOV21+Step+8.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAoh5MxPsU7ifdVlUN2bDUBF4wSA6LFfxj2xdTo5hwB1m9VUMxd6sPA_P8FGckoP2wTsG39D6dyOq3y8NzzUtidFoxky1L07vzVrZR_myICgHotiq5vW0DNGgFgArzbSwjbvYimw/w400-h400/800+Christmas+Tree+Gatefold+Card+Margie+Higuchi+NOV21+Step+8.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Assemble the card front with all the embellishments, starting with the trees. The medium tree goes on the right gatefold panel. Use the other tree and present sentiment as a guide when determining placement. Both trees overhung the middle edge (mark with a pencil, if needed as you can erase later). I used the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesive. It is perfect for paper construction projects like this.</div><div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjfvhFbYupAQ1RPx2TtatswP-HXWe0GENbp3Xa4apxcft6ip6VEPskbeA0W9uixC7bjpHImEV1uL4wrwyOnXRW1zkbR6rW_-jX75bXc03rSvikjQEwN_CUH7p69TRhjjs9mzjSLA/s800/800+Christmas+Tree+Gatefold+Card+Margie+Higuchi+NOV21+Step+9.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="800" data-original-width="800" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjfvhFbYupAQ1RPx2TtatswP-HXWe0GENbp3Xa4apxcft6ip6VEPskbeA0W9uixC7bjpHImEV1uL4wrwyOnXRW1zkbR6rW_-jX75bXc03rSvikjQEwN_CUH7p69TRhjjs9mzjSLA/w400-h400/800+Christmas+Tree+Gatefold+Card+Margie+Higuchi+NOV21+Step+9.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div>Lastly, I added the Christmas Lights Bling, it was perfect for my tree because it needed something!

<p>The split is not even cut which is done on purpose. It's cut on the 3.5-inch mark but I love how it turned out. Just a touch of color on the card front with a muted background of the stamp. What do you think?</p>

<p>Cha-ching! Is there any living person that hasn't absolutely been intrigued by a Cash Register and all of its compartments and treasure it holds inside? As kids, it's one of the first grown up toys we played with. The sound of a cash register ringing means prosperity and so many good things. Say welcome to the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/amazing-paper-grace-die-of-the-month-membership/" target="_blank">Amazing Paper Grace September 2021 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Vintage Cash Register</a>.</p>
<p>The light-hearted, pun-filled sentiments are perfect for any occasion, to send this 3D Fold Flat card. Want to let someone know how valuable they are to you? Then the "Priceless" sentiment will say that loud and clear. Want to express your opinion? Then actually you're looking for the "Just My .02" sentiment. It's so cute, there's even a front drawer where you can actually fold and put in some currency.</p>
<p>Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:<br />
1. Make the traditional cash register and stock it with gift cards.<br />
2. Make a basket from both facades for donations or as a friendly tip jar.<br />
3. Are you in the middle of a fundraiser? Use it as a table favor to break the ice.<br />
4. Create a mini album with a cash register on the front and back for kids to record their savings.</p>

<p><b>My Project Today using Pop Up 3D Vignette Vintage Cash Register.</b></p>
<p>The card is a gatefold card base and its cover is the Pop Up 3D Vignette Vintage Cash Register. The cash register is created with soft colors to match the patterned paper I had just gotten. I lifted up some of the machine parts with 3D Foam adhesive and small pearls for interest.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbEWWpwdneyqDo2rSKIdIEgQvrkCoRg9imbWhDGYv5Y3zM81ZwpkIrIqJnACn2J_ToNmrjgHfsEauXlIWpy-brMmk_GZwZRzeAl5OHN8Rrm06c2XXvJf65VmvDQAeS-vCmJLB5Mg/s767/0921Week2-MargieHiguchi10.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="767" data-original-width="767" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbEWWpwdneyqDo2rSKIdIEgQvrkCoRg9imbWhDGYv5Y3zM81ZwpkIrIqJnACn2J_ToNmrjgHfsEauXlIWpy-brMmk_GZwZRzeAl5OHN8Rrm06c2XXvJf65VmvDQAeS-vCmJLB5Mg/w400-h400/0921Week2-MargieHiguchi10.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<p><b><i>Designer Tip:</i></b> Take advantage of the beautiful embossing design on the cash register body by lightly misting with water on the cardstock before die-cutting. It will loosen the paper fibers for a better imprint. Also, lightly sand the die cut shape to bring out the raised areas.</p>
<p>For my second project, I created a gift pocket and embellished the front with the vintage cash register. I kept it simple and with no layers but accented with flowers from Love how it turned out. I'm thinking about filling it with goodies and a gift card or two.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLL6Rm-XOz2Ngefuulw96zpr2EmawhGTpjMe0F8fZu2ku8IriwmF7xucPm7PgCTYdgitFjMZMGbPZ0_LxCHPF7kIAHMouCXEZuu1r4Wlu-czIiBDSym1pRUucV9pG6A2GPW8_HCg/s767/0921Week2-MargieHiguchi08.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="767" data-original-width="767" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiLL6Rm-XOz2Ngefuulw96zpr2EmawhGTpjMe0F8fZu2ku8IriwmF7xucPm7PgCTYdgitFjMZMGbPZ0_LxCHPF7kIAHMouCXEZuu1r4Wlu-czIiBDSym1pRUucV9pG6A2GPW8_HCg/w400-h400/0921Week2-MargieHiguchi08.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />How cute would this be if was a door hanger decoration?

<p><i>Today's projects were created with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.</i></p>
<h2>My Projects for Today</h2>
<p>Featuring the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/silver-bells-dimensional-doily-etched-dies-from-the-holiday-medley-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">S4-1130 Silver Bells Dimensional Doily</a> set, I created three bell shapes to better show off this sweet set. Like Becca's other <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/amazing-paper-grace-by-becca-feeken-1/?_bc_fsnf=1&Collection=Dimensional+Doily" target="_blank">Dimensional Doily series</a>, you just die-cut, fold each side, and slide into the slits to lock them into place.</p>

It's an envelope! It's both!! In the transformers world of dies, we love for our dies to be used in many different ways. This die was designed to function as both a card front and for the petals to fold over to enclose a notecard. The pretty lattice filigree is just the icing on top. Welcome to your stash, the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/amazing-paper-grace-die-of-the-month-membership/" target="_blank">Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for August 2021 - Lattice Petal Foldover</a>.</p>
<p>You asked and we listened. Our May 2020 Die of the Month was so popular that we made a slightly smaller, dainty version. Becca said that the inspiration for this die set is all about the Note Card. As someone who loves to drop a little notecard into lunch boxes, drop them into packages, and even leaves them on the door for delivery people - this is quick and easy. Die-cut 10 of the lattice petal jackets and 10 of the 3" (or 3x6 for a folded note) notes for inside and you'll always be ready with a stunning note.</p>
<p>Here are some ideas that will inspire you to create with the foldover elements:<br />
1. A box with the foldover as the lid<br />
2. Notecards (there is even a closure piece)<br />
3. A sweet, petite basket</p>

It's during this long stint with the pandemic that many of us have come to realize that it doesn't matter where you are; it's the people you are with. That's the inspiration that fed into the creation of the July 2021 Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month, Home Sweet Home. The sentiment that comes within the set says it all - You are My Home.</p><p>There's just something so quaint and sweet about little houses. They mean so much to us - a place of safety, a place of comfort, a place of love. It's only fitting that one should show up as a Mini Vignette! This card folds flat to fit into an envelope to be sent through the mail. It beckons you to insert your favorite pictures, a multipage note or sweet nothings on the four panels that rest inside.<br /><br />Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:<br />1. A mini scrapbook album<br />2. A table centerpiece with a house on each side<br />3. Separate the small house facade and use it on a card, a scrapbook layout, and beyond!</p>
<p><i>Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.</i></p>

<p><strong>My Project Today using Pop Up 3D Vignette Home Sweet Home.</strong></p>
<p>It's a cute little mini album where using both sides of the card inserts gives you six areas to add whatever you like. In the first section, I stamped a sentiment from the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/beautiful-inside-and-out-sentiments-clear-stamp-from-beautiful-sentiment-vignettes-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">STP-058 Beautiful Inside and Out Sentiment Clear Stamp Set</a>, and add a floral motif from the Pop Up 3D Vignette Home Sweet Home set. The others were left blank for the recipient to fill in.</p>
<p><strong><em>Designer Tip:</em></strong> When adding the card inserts inside the house, it might be a little snug. I trimmed off about 1/8-inch on each side for a smooth movement.</p>

To make the ring sturdy, I stacked/adhered three cardstock rings. After assembling my 3D Vignette House, I secured it on the lower left side of the wreath, using a card insert to sandwich the wreath. Then I accented the top and bottom with a combination of the flowers and leaf from the Pop Up 3D Vignette Home Sweet Home set and <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/petite-floral-potpourri-etched-dies-from-beautiful-sentiment-vignettes-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">S3-420 Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Die</a> set.

Today I have a <a href="https://i-crafter.com/birthday-in-boston-layout-gdt-margieh/" target="_blank">Birthday in Boston Layout</a> featuring the <a href="https://i-crafter.com/product/ribbon-rosette/" target="_blank">Ribbon Rosette Die Set</a>. It documents a trip I took with my husband to Boston, an iconic American city, and how appropriate as we approach America's birthday! </p><p>This is my second guest design project for <a href="https://i-crafter.com/" target="_blank">i-Crafter</a> this month! Did you see my first project with the <a href="https://i-crafter.com/stitched-rainbow-gdt-margieh/" target="_blank">Thanks Foiled Rainbow Box Tutorial</a>?</p><p>A few years back, my husband took me to Boston on a combination trip of business and (my) birthday. I love Boston for its rich history with modern vibe. We stayed at the Langham Hotel which was the former Federal Reserve Bank of Boston renovated - SO COOL! We covered a lot of ground in the 48 hours we were there.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Rosette Construction</h3>
<p>I grabbed red, white, and blue cardstock to cut one set of three strips for each color from the pre-scored strip die in the <a href="https://i-crafter.com/product/ribbon-rosette/" target="_blank">Ribbon Rosette</a>. When creasing the lines, start with the end that has the larger scored section (the other end has a narrow scored section - think tab) and mountain-fold. Next valley-fold and accordion-fold till the very end where it ends in a mountain-fold.</p>

<p>With some silver mirror cardstock, I die-cut three times with the decorative edge circle die from the <a href="https://i-crafter.com/product/ribbon-rosette/" target="_blank">Ribbon Rosette</a> set. Again, die-cut the circle from the same set with 3D Foam Creative Sheets, and adhere one to each of the decorative edge circles.</p>

<h3 style="text-align: left;">Birthday in Boston Layout</h3>
<p>The patterned papers I used I had for years because I loved them so much. Do you have this same issue? LOL! Today, I will use some to create my page.</p><p>On a blue 12 x 12 patterned paper, I placed two of my favorite pictures. One is of the Old State House where the Declaration of Independence was read to the public from the baloney shown. The other is of my husband, business friend/Japanese pro soccer player, Keisuke Honda, and me. We all are summer birthday babes. This was taken at a business function but we celebrated! LOL!</p>

In that spirit, today we are introducing a new collection called <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/amazing-paper-grace-by-becca-feeken/?_bc_fsnf=1&Collection=Beautiful+Sentiments+Vignettes+Collection" target="_blank">Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes</a>. It spins beautiful, intertwined calligraphic words into a compact label shape, perfect for the front of your card.</p>
<p><i>***Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.***</i></p>
<p><b>Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Inspiration</b><br />
Many Amazing Paper Grace followers were so thrilled when the first 3D Vignettes with word inserts came out. Over time, our followers have asked for a greater variety of words to fit into the 3D Vignette apertures. Your wish is our command!</p>
<p><b>Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection</b><br />
The <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/amazing-paper-grace-by-becca-feeken/?_bc_fsnf=1&Collection=Beautiful+Sentiments+Vignettes+Collection" target="_blank">Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection</a> is made up of 7 different die sets and a stamp set. Most sets contain a sentiment and a filigree background layer. Each set makes it quite easy to produce a complete card. The bonus is the sentiment shapes each match an existing 3D Vignette. Along with being able to complete a card, the new sentiments will allow another sentiment to existing 3D Vignettes already in your stash. <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/romantic-chargeour-etched-dies-from-beautiful-sentiment-vignettes-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">Romantic Chargeour</a> works with all the sentiments.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/amazing-paper-grace-by-becca-feeken/?_bc_fsnf=1&Collection=Beautiful+Sentiments+Vignettes+Collection" target="_blank">Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection</a> also contains an "inside" sentiment set that matches the thought on the outside of the card. To top off the collection we've included <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/petite-floral-potpourri-etched-dies-from-beautiful-sentiment-vignettes-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">Petite Floral Potpourri</a>. It's a compilation of all the small flowers and leaves that are most requested by our community.</p>

Today I have something special to share. I am guest designing for <a href="https://i-crafter.com/" target="_blank">i-Crafter</a> this month! So thrilled and honor to be asked :) Thank you to Niccole and i-Crafter for letting me play!</p>
<p>Do you love rainbows? It brings a smile every time I spot one. When I saw this <a href="https://i-crafter.com/product/stitched-rainbow/" target="_blank">Stitched Rainbow</a> die set from <a href="https://i-crafter.com/" target="_blank">i-Crafter</a>...oh, the possibilities of all the projects I can create with this one set! Instead of a card, I created a 5 x 7-inch box to add a thank you gift for a friend. It has lots of texture, shine, and dimension! Let me show you how to create this!</p>
<p><i>**I receive products from i-Crafter and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® for use in my projects. The opinions are completely my own based on my experience and doing so I can share what I personally love to use.**</i></p>

<p>For a dimensional rainbow, I used a sheet of 3D Foam Creative Sheet Medium 6 x 12-inch and die-cut the rainbows from the <a href="https://i-crafter.com/product/stitched-rainbow/" target="_blank">Stitched Rainbow</a> die set. Note: the foam sheet is thick. Just to make sure, I cut it through my die-cutting machine two to three times.</p>

Simply rub the foil to transfer the colors. Missed a spot? No problem, just reapply the foil over the missed areas.</p>

<p>The silver foiled rainbow needed something...pearls go with anything! There was a sheet of white self-adhesive pearls in my stash and I randomly added the smallest ones. Loved how they turned out! Set the rainbows aside and let's work on the box.</p>

<p>After searching online for a 5 x 7-inch box, I choose a combination of ideas to create one. If you are interested, do a search of your own for yours. Using the E-Z Runner Ultra Strong, I assembled the base.</p>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8odG0ROXXxh0UwJ5hOFn2jMnA30UbBvZ_GkVc9wW-x10nHvr2KGM876cTk3xTGdtvkHrhO7LmT5oVBs5PB7gGa-lN8Uc9wi7AgIE7IHBYZR6-GHSE34Udda-fbe8_5i_c5t7Ccg/s500/500+Thanks+Foiled+Rainbow+Box+Margie+Higuchi+061821+Step+2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="500" data-original-width="500" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh8odG0ROXXxh0UwJ5hOFn2jMnA30UbBvZ_GkVc9wW-x10nHvr2KGM876cTk3xTGdtvkHrhO7LmT5oVBs5PB7gGa-lN8Uc9wi7AgIE7IHBYZR6-GHSE34Udda-fbe8_5i_c5t7Ccg/s16000/500+Thanks+Foiled+Rainbow+Box+Margie+Higuchi+061821+Step+2.jpg" /></a></div><br /><p>Next, cut two front box panels to embellish, leaving a 1/8-inch border around each panel. Cut the Silver Mirror cardstock to 5 1/8 x 7 1/8-inches, and the Kraft cardstock to 5 x 7-inches.</p>

A "Cardlet" is a small character motif that comes with a sentiment that fits within a 3 x 3-inch area and has a matching die. It just so happens that this size is perfect for the ever-popular Slimline Cards.

<p>Sweet Cardlets are just like stamps, but they are metal plates used in the <strong><a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/glimmer-hot-foil-system/">Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System</a></strong> to transfer foil to paper through a combination of heat and pressure. The Glimmer machine base is rolled through your die-cut machine to deliver that pressure (Compatibility Charts are on the <strong><a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/">Spellbinders</a></strong> website).</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkc0JbMLcGS7i7mV2FtrmXsYQx1q_dfnhSwooXgM0NTV0FaMuzVoVTzW2EyKYUIlBtHqKGMKdP7MRSLCCH48OfDJpjQZvJW3Fu-AplB2h2g3HYTmn3CQXakj1yuPwMuOQyxHgbHA/s767/0521Week3-Margie-Higuchi06.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="767" data-original-width="767" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkc0JbMLcGS7i7mV2FtrmXsYQx1q_dfnhSwooXgM0NTV0FaMuzVoVTzW2EyKYUIlBtHqKGMKdP7MRSLCCH48OfDJpjQZvJW3Fu-AplB2h2g3HYTmn3CQXakj1yuPwMuOQyxHgbHA/w400-h400/0521Week3-Margie-Higuchi06.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"><b>The Inspiration behind Sweet Cardlets II</b></h3><p>Since we are premiering the first Slimline Card Die for the Amazing Paper Grace line of dies, we wanted you to have plenty of sweet elements that fit onto the slimline. The small motif 3 x 3-inch footprint makes this easy. Add to that there is a matching die it makes for a cute pop of dimension on all of your cards - Slimline, A2 or A7.</p>
<p>Always mindful of the budget, Becca wanted to create a collection where each set is all you need to make a little card. Sweet Cardlets are small motifs with a 3 x 3-inch footprint. Sweet Cardlets also fit into the <strong><a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/christmas-cascade-card-base-etched-dies-christmas-cascade-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">Cascade Card Base</a></strong> and work along with all of the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/search.php?search_query=Adjustable+shadowbox+with&_bc_fsnf=1&Collection=Shadowbox" target="_blank"><strong>Shadowbox Dies</strong></a>.</p><p style="text-align: left;">The ensemble features the <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/you-are-my-home-glimmer-hot-foil-plate-die-set-from-sweet-cardlets-ii-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">GLP-283 You are My Home Glimmer Hot Plate and Die Set</a> and <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/hemstitch-slimline-etched-dies-from-sweet-cardlets-ii-collection-by-becca-feeken/" target="_blank">S6-175 Hemstitch Slimline Dies</a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0C5FtSpAj0lauLWDLjzl9PxoqDc8hqinOff3pbKIUpqGnB_M8DL_k4YunEHioa4d5TCq7ipwUKEmHsHmGgRjwLpr9MDK707rntqw1J8b0vBqRWqOpq6dVXFaN5FRQPuTkFGH1jA/s1200/GLP-283-Sweet-Cardlets-II-Becca-Feeken-You-are-my-Home-Color.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj0C5FtSpAj0lauLWDLjzl9PxoqDc8hqinOff3pbKIUpqGnB_M8DL_k4YunEHioa4d5TCq7ipwUKEmHsHmGgRjwLpr9MDK707rntqw1J8b0vBqRWqOpq6dVXFaN5FRQPuTkFGH1jA/w400-h400/GLP-283-Sweet-Cardlets-II-Becca-Feeken-You-are-my-Home-Color.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi2d_ShQ0wa1nH0XtzecBvP6c50PWCFiogH91o7uyVLw5yB2JAeloANszoFhSWx4eD5iR5oFBF9E5tcHsIzdhN9vYzgC526lpsEdNRJafpFycemVBSMMQgTRcXuZ6Q6kUVZ5G-Wg/s1200/S6-175-Sweet-Cardlets-II-Becca-Feeken-Hemstitch-Slimline-Color.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1200" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi2d_ShQ0wa1nH0XtzecBvP6c50PWCFiogH91o7uyVLw5yB2JAeloANszoFhSWx4eD5iR5oFBF9E5tcHsIzdhN9vYzgC526lpsEdNRJafpFycemVBSMMQgTRcXuZ6Q6kUVZ5G-Wg/w400-h400/S6-175-Sweet-Cardlets-II-Becca-Feeken-Hemstitch-Slimline-Color.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><h3>Welcome to the Neighborhood Wreath Slimline Card</h3><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHcbyq5B8AjT-jehj1y2eR6GEipXGcCfQQ_3ILSz2DdKf9bq2ATY8D0kpu3Fkf6AokIppAE0AUxupCBnv4Mxg7qdyjd-F3osVmi5CVOFgWAWSfIhQEeDnaLq3veP1hFP8Zbdar0Q/s767/0521Week3-Margie-Higuchi04.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="767" data-original-width="767" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHcbyq5B8AjT-jehj1y2eR6GEipXGcCfQQ_3ILSz2DdKf9bq2ATY8D0kpu3Fkf6AokIppAE0AUxupCBnv4Mxg7qdyjd-F3osVmi5CVOFgWAWSfIhQEeDnaLq3veP1hFP8Zbdar0Q/w400-h400/0521Week3-Margie-Higuchi04.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div><br /></div><div>For the background to my card panel, I hot foiled the frame insert (scene) plate three times to fill the space.

<p><span style="text-align: left;">Hello! I have a wonderful layout to share with you. My sweet friend is celebrating her first Mother's Day with her adorable little girl. What great timing that I create this scrapbook page for her! When I saw this <b><i>Mini 3D Vignette Garden Gate</i></b>, <a href="https://www.spellbinderspaperarts.com/amazing-paper-grace-die-of-the-month-membership/" target="_blank">Die of the Month from Amazing Paper Grace by Becca Feeken</a>. I knew what I wanted to create. </span>I am so excited to share with you, Garden of Gwen!</p>
<p><i>Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace sent me this wonderful die set to create my scrapbook page - love it! Photo credit to Ken Berry (aka grandpa) and child release permission by mom (Ally Ward).</i></p>

<p style="text-align: left;">The arch needed some flowers - it is a garden, after all. LOL!
