Amazing Paper Grace July Die of the Month Blog Hop – Pop Up 3D Vignette Home Sweet Home

It's so true that all paths lead home. 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.

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.

Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:
1. A mini scrapbook album
2. A table centerpiece with a house on each side
3. Separate the small house facade and use it on a card, a scrapbook layout, and beyond!

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

There are 21 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Home Sweet Home.

My Project Today using Pop Up 3D Vignette Home Sweet Home.

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 STP-058 Beautiful Inside and Out Sentiment Clear Stamp Set, 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.

Designer Tip: 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.

My second project is a welcome wreath made out of Creative Photo Corners interlocking together on top of a cardstock ring. 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 S3-420 Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Die set. One of my NEW favorites! LOL!

**I receive products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Spellbinders® Paper Arts 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.**

HAPPY Background

I wanted to do something different with my background and a way to use up extra washi tape! Loved how this turned out :) Trim the ends of the Gratitude Washi Tape and tuck behind in the back.

Origami Rolls

Next, I rolled three different designs of Gratitude ORIGAMI papers diagonally (to make it longer) and secured with an Adhesive Dots Small on the ends. Set aside.

Layered Panel Details

I cut a panel from the Gratitude 05 patterned paper and fussy cut the frame out. I'll use the rest for another future project.

Cut 9.5 x 4.5-inch rectangle from the mauve cardstock and make a fish-tail on the left side. Then cut 5.5 x 3.75-inch rectangle from Gratitude 02 patterned paper and ink the edges of it and the small cut-aparts from Gratitude 05 patterned paper.

Add a Creative Corner in Gold on each corner of the rectangle patterned paper. Using the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesive, place on a slight angle on top of the fish-tail cardstock.

Add 3D Foam Strips on all four sides of the frame and place it on top of the layer. Don't press yet as you will be tucking in more layers.

Tuck in the small cut-aparts with a combination of the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong and 3D Foam Strips. Press everything to secure.

Finishing Up the Layers

With the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesive, adhere the layered cardstock to the 12 x 12 scrapbook page. Then, secure all the paper rolls on the left side of the layered frame with several Adhesive Dots Medium.

Print out your favorite photo and adhere it to the left-side of the open frame with the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesive.

Die-cut the oval frame shape with white cardstock and secure it on top of the rolled papers with a couple of Adhesive Dots Medium.

Add a die cut from the Gratitude Ephemera Pack with a piece of Crafty Foam Tape in White on the lower right corner of the frame.

Add sequins into a small Keepsake Envelope, take the liner off and seal the flap. After taking the back liner off, tuck it behind the photo as an accent.

This is how the layered panel looks like so far.

Working on the Embellishing

Apply mauve cardstock on a piece of 3D Creative Sheet Medium and die-cut the letters HAPPY. Take off the liner and place it underneath the layered panel.

After stacking the die cuts, secure them with a brad in the center and adhere with a couple of Adhesive Dots Medium to an oval die cut. Lightly mist the flowers with water to soften fibers and scrunch each layer to give it a more realistic look. Tap the edges of the flower and die cut circle with ink. I accented the oval die cut with Sparkling Bubble Rhinestones in Light Yellow.

Lastly, I die-cut a small heart with 3D Foam Creative Sheet Small.

After adding it to the H, peel off the top liner and apply gold glitter foil on top (color side UP) from the Metallic Transfer Foil Sheets in Holographic. Rub the foil with the fingertip to transfer the color. I randomly added sequins with Adhesive Dots Micro and some Sparkling Bubble Rhinestones in Light Yellow. And Done!
