Amazing Paper Grace Seasonal Label Motifs: Holiday Lantern Card

With the holiday coming soon, I started on my Christmas card making with this beautiful Holiday Label Motifs set with many layers! What do you think?

Today's holiday card was created from etched dies supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.

There are 13 thin metal cutting dies included in the Holiday Label Motifs set from the Seasonal Label Motifs Collection by Becca Feeken with Spellbinders Paper Arts.

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.

Add the die-cut embellishments in the same set, and the Creative Photo Corners in gold to finish...Done! I loved how it turned out! What do you think?

Amazing Paper Grace June 2022 Die of the Month: Girls Road Trip Scrapbook Layout & Travel Pouch

I documented my Girls Road Trip from a few years ago with this adorable car from the Pop Up 3D Vignette Road Trip, June 2022 Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month. Isn't it cute?! I knew exactly what I wanted to do! Love a plan that works out from the brain to paper. LOL!

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

There are 26 cutting dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Road Trip.

Girls Road Trip Scrapbook Layout

Instead of a travel theme patterned paper, I used a feminine design and made my car with the same collection. It was so easy to assemble, I actually created two more cars! LOL! Gesso was applied at the bottom of the page so it warped a little, I adhered the car with the E-Z Runner Ultra Strong adhesive.

Designer's Tips: I popped up the bumper pieces for dimension, along with the Road Trip plate on the pouch. Use glitter paper or glitter to the backlights and headlights for movement.

I love how I can personalize hair colors and outfits! Such a fun set to make. I hope you think so too - view the video below!

Travel Pouch Accessory

We'll need a map and hotel reservations so I create a travel pouch to put those papers in. I found a tutorial online and created an easy one. Adding the car tied in with the layout. What do you think?

You can adhere the pouch to the back of the scrapbook layout to keep it in one place. Also, I journaled in the back to document my fun weekend with sweet friends! 💖

Amazing Paper Grace May 2022 Die of the Month Blog Hop: What's Bakin' Oven and Cookie Box Ensemble

This adorable Pop Up 3D Vignette What's Bakin' Oven was a project I couldn't pass up! Although I am not a cook (COUGHhubbycooksCOUGH), it motivates me to get some cookie baking action going in the kitchen! LOL!

My creations were created today with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

There are 14 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette What's Bakin' Oven.

My Project for Today

Looking for a retro look, I choose my colors of turquoise, cream, white and black. With this combination, I think each detail shines through. What do you think? This will make a fun display for any kitchen nook or shelf.

I love the cookie sheet, cookies, and spatula details. A fun placement of sentiments in the oven section.

There were other accessories but I kept mine simple. They would be great on a matching card as accents.

What's Bakin' Cookie Box

Can't have cookies without a box to bring them in, right? Created a simple hinged box in cute patterned paper. Then I added a two-color belly band with the oven design as its focal point. So adorable! I created it as a front profile oven with the sentiment right in front so you can't miss it.

Designer's Tip: Use Adhesive Dots Repositionable on the oven and the ends of the belly band. This will help remove the band if it gets too tight. If you change your mind to use the oven in another project, simply remove it from the band without damage!

Supplies:

Amazing Paper Grace April 2022 Die of the Month Blog Hop: Spring Thanks 3D Vignette Ensemble

This sweet watering can with flowers bursting is a great reminder of spring! What a way to say thanks to someone special that included a wonderful dimensional element to display for all to see!

Today's ensemble was created with thin metal dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace designed by Becca Feeken!

There are 15 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Watering Can Bouquet.

My Projects for Today's Hop: Pop Up 3D Vignette Watering Can Bouquet Display

Let's start with this sweet display! What a wonderful way to decorate your home with a watering can full of spring flowers. It can be popped up when taken out of the envelope. The embossed design was inked first before die-cutting and then inked a little bit more.

Using up scraps of patterned papers and cardstock, I assembled eight blossoms. Many ways to create these flowers and I lifted the embossed centers with foam adhesives for more dimension. Added pearls for more embellishing including the heart from the S5-484 Primrose Heart Facade Etched Dies which is part of the Garden Shutters Collection.

7 x 5-inch Eyelet Thanks Card

What's a gift without a card?! I wanted the watering can to stand out so I made the background all white with cardstock. Isn't this S6-184 Eyelet Lace Frame Etched Dies beautiful? It is also from the Garden Shutters Collection. To tie in the pearls, I accented the centers of the flower patterns.

The watering can and spring flowers were assembled the same way but without tall stems. Some of the flowers were lifted with foam adhesives for varying heights. Using foam adhesive sheets and patterned paper, I die-cut Thanks from S4-1148 Sweet Sayings Notecard Sentiments Etched Dies which is from the Sweet Serenade Notecards Collection. I love the font and the size. Now it's ready to send!

Amazing Paper Grace: November Die of the Month with Christmas Tree Gatefold Card

Although there are many ways to create with this wonderful Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree 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.

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

There are 21 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree.

My Project Today using Pop Up 3D Vignette Christmas Tree.
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.

Cut two pieces of 2 1/8 x 5.5-inches patterned paper and cover/adhere it to each side of the gatefold panels with the E-Z Runner Grand Ultra Strong adhesive. Set Aside.

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.

For the base of the presents and bows, I die-cut with silver mirror cardstock. 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.

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. Add bling to accent. Use 3D Foam Strips to adhere it on top of the presents.

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.

Lastly, I added the Christmas Lights Bling, it was perfect for my tree because it needed something! LOL! It is self-adhesive and easy to cut so I can place them where I wanted.

And that's it! All done and ready to send out. I hope you enjoyed my Christmas Tree Gatefold Card tutorial.

Thanks for stopping in!

Amazing Paper Grace September Die of the Month Blog Hop – Pop Up 3D Vignette Vintage Cash Register

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 Amazing Paper Grace September 2021 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Vintage Cash Register.

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.

Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:
1. Make the traditional cash register and stock it with gift cards.
2. Make a basket from both facades for donations or as a friendly tip jar.
3. Are you in the middle of a fundraiser? Use it as a table favor to break the ice.
4. Create a mini album with a cash register on the front and back for kids to record their savings.

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

There are 16 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Vintage Cash Register.

My Project Today using Pop Up 3D Vignette Vintage Cash Register.

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.

Designer Tip: 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.

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.

How cute would this be if was a door hanger decoration? So many options with this Die of the Month set from Amazing Paper Grace! 

I hope you enjoyed my Priceless Gift Ensemble. Pictured below are my projects together. It was fun to assemble and even more fun to giveaway! Thanks for stopping by!

Amazing Paper Grace | Holiday Medley Intro Blog Hop

This magical menagerie of dies helps celebrate one of the most festive times of the year through paper crafting!

The versatile new Merry Filigree Card Builder, Celebrate Scrollwork Card Builder and Joy Crescent Card Builder sets create different card formats from A2, A7, Mini Slimline, to Slimline.

Today's projects were created with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.

My Projects for Today

Featuring the S4-1130 Silver Bells Dimensional Doily set, I created three bell shapes to better show off this sweet set. Like Becca's other Dimensional Doily series, you just die-cut, fold each side, and slide into the slits to lock them into place.

My 5x7-inch card features a vellum shaker card panel which I accented the upper right corner with the three Bells Dimensional Doily. See the gold backing? I die-cut with gold mirror cardstock to show off the intricate design of the bells.

The other card is a 6-inch square card which I added half of a round dimensional doily. Both cards have the S4-960 Cinch and Go Poinsettia flower. Just love this flower die set! I hope these cards get you into the holiday spirit!

Designer's Tip: You can cut three bell shapes at the same time. Make sure to secure the insert die with washi tape to avoid slippage when die-cutting.
