“Bless You”–lato na kartce

Lato w pełni! Więc na mojej dzisiejszej kartce nie mogło zabraknąć kwiatów, owoców i klimatu letniego ogrodu. Sentencja na kartce to napis wycięty wykrojnikiem z kolekcji The Right Words od Amazing Paper Grace  “You are a Blessing” S5-514. To życzenie kojarzy mi się z obfitością, którą można też znaleźć w mojej kartce :) 

***wykrojniki do wykonania mojej pracy otrzymałam od Amazing Paper Grace***

Aby bardziej podkreślić napis, i sprawić by był widoczny na wzorzystym tle, wycięłam go dwa razy, z różnych kolorów papieru i nakleiłam obydwa napisy na siebie, zostawiając małe przesunięcie. Ten efekt “ciena” powoduje, że napis wygląda pięknie i przestrzennie.

Kartka z życzeniami zdrowia

Czasami wystarczy radosna kartka żeby poprawić komuś humor – szczególnie jeśli zdrowie mu nie dopisuje. “Get well soon” czyli życzenia szybkiego powrotu do zdrowia to przesłanie na mojej dzisiejszej pracy. Wykorzystałam bardzo fajny wykrojnik Amazing Paper Grace do stworzenia tła – daje on możliwość wycięcia tła we wzór liściastych gałązek albo dużego pięknego ornamentu, jeśli użyjemy także wykrojnika-obrysu. W zestawie z wykrojnikiem znajduje się też wykrojnik banerek i malutkie kwiatki – wszystko wykorzystałam na pokazanej tu kartce.

*wykrojniki do wykonania mojej pracy dostałam od Amazing Paper Grace*

Wspomniany zestaw wykrojników znajdziecie poniżej:

A do wykonania napisu użyłam stempelka z tego zestawu:

Amazing Paper Grace | The Right Words Collection Intro Blog Hop

Get ready for an invasion of sweets!
Today I’m featuring artwork made from the new Amazing Paper Grace collection – The Right Words by Becca Feeken.

In the latest collection, you will find words and sentences from which you can arrange sentiments for handmade cards for any occasion. In addition, the words from the sets can be freely combined, as you will see on my works!

***Today’s projects were used with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.***

My Projects for Today

In my work today, I used the word „Sweet” as a background on a scrapbook page (I repeated the wording several times to create an interesting background for a story about my dog, named Oreo, who we used to go to coffee shops with on vacation, for sweets, and he was sitting under the table waiting for me to share an ice-cream or a cake) and as a wording on cards, combined with words from other sets. The combinations are many and we love this collection for that!

I used the following sets of dies to create my projects:

My Sweet Friend Etched Dies from the Right Words Collection S5-512

You’re Amazing Etched Dies from the Right Words Collection S4-1203

Amazing Paper Grace June 2022 Die of the Month

Have you ever dreamed about a fancy car? My dream has come true – I can have a fabulous car in the color I want! It’s all thanks to Amazing Paper Grace Die of The Month in June – Pop Up 3D Vignette Road Trip. With the kit, you can create a retro car in 3D and decorate it with realistic details on the front and back.

*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.

I couldn’t resist and created a set – a card in a box, decorated with the car shown from the front (on the box lid) and back (on the card front). Thanks to the foam squares, my car doesn’t look flat. I also glued acrylic drops on the headlights :)

Supplies:

Rozsiewaj radość!

Czy może być piękniejsze przesłanie w czasie, gdy obsadzam kwiatami moje skrzynki balkonowe? Ta sentencja po angielsku brzmi dosłownie “Zasadź radość”, ale po polsku raczej ją rozsiewamy :)

Na mojej botanicznej kartce użyłam ażurowych wycinanek od Amazing Paper Grace – wyciętych wykrojnikami z kolekcji, która jest szczególnie przeznaczona do tworzenia kartek w podłużnym, szalenie obecnie modnym, formacie (tzw. slimline).

Zestaw, z którym pracowałam, to Half Slimline Diamond Etched Dies from the Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimlines Collection by Becca Feeken S4-1197 . W zestawie znajdują się podłużne wykrojniki do tworzenia tła (można wyciąć osobny ornament, jak u mnie, albo np. tylko dziurki – wtedy nie używamy wykrojnika z obrysem) oraz sentencja. Całość pozwala na wykonanie efektownej kartki.

Amazing Paper Grace – Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimlines Collection Intro Blog Hop

If you like slimline cards, then you are up for a treat! A new collection from Amazing Paper Grace has just been released – Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimlines.

The collection consists of die-cut sets that match each other in style perfectly.
I was most impressed by the beautiful openwork backgrounds and unusual flowers; with these dies you can make amazing cards, and not only in a slim format!

***Projects for today’s post were used with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.***

My Projects for Today

These are two cards I created to show the possibilities of these dies, so one is the slimline format and the other is a small cardlet. Both are made using the same dies, I just cut the diecuts into smaller pieces to use them on the cardlet.

The flowers are really interesting and so easy to make – they have layers and look dimensional, but at the same time they stay rather flat and make the card easy to post via snailmail. I am just in awe! And you?  :)

These are the die sets I used on my cards:

Half Slimline Bracket Etched Dies from the Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimlines Collection S4-1199 

Layered Lilies Etched Dies from the Layered Fleur Bouquet Slimlines Collection S4-1192

Kolorowa wiosenna kartka

W mojej części świata przyroda obudziła się do życia i zakwitły forsycje; po mojej kartce widać, że tęskniłam za szalonymi kolorami wiosny. Wykorzystałam do jej stworzenia piękne wykrojniki z serii Card Builder od Amazing Paper Grace. W jednym zestawie są tła, ozdobne kształty, napisy i drobne dodatki – to daje duże możliwości kombinowania, od kartek małych do modnych obecnie kartek slimline.

In my part of the world, nature has awoken to life and the forsythias are in bloom; you can tell by my card that I have been longing for the crazy colors of spring. I used the beautiful dies from the Card Builder series from Amazing Paper Grace to create it. There are backgrounds, decorative shapes, lettering and small embellishments all in one set – this gives you lots of options to combine, from small cards to the currently trendy slimline cards.

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

Tak prezentuje się zestaw, którym można wyczarować wiele różnych prac, With Love Regalia Card Builder Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken S5-492

Użyłam także wykrojników z zestawu Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken S4-1163 do wycięcia kwiatuszków. Żeby ładnie podkreślić napis, wycięłam go podwójnie i nakleiłam dwie warstwy na siebie. Kwiatki wyglądają znacznie ciekawiej jeśli nadam im kształt stylusem z kuleczką do embossingu.

I also used dies of Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection by Becca Feeken S4-1163 to cut the flowers. To emphasize the lettering nicely, I cut it out twice and glued two layers on top of each other. The flowers look much more interesting if I shape them with the embossing ball stylus.

Amazing Paper Grace April 2022 Die of the Month Blog Hop

So spring has arrived, and with it the season for gardening! Check out what a lovely set of dies we have for April as part of the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Watering Can Bouquet.
A 3D aged watering can with a bouquet of flowers that inspires tons of artwork!

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

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

The 3D watering can is just adorable, and what I’m always amazed by with the Pop Up dies from Amazing Grace Paper is that you can fold the ready piece flat so that it fits in an envelope and can be mailed. How cool is that?
And this watering can also has embossed elements that give it a retro vibe – I inked these areas with dark ink to give them a striking patina.

Supplies:

Colorful cardstock, Latarnia Morska ink “Gorzka Czekolada”

And smaller elements, like flowers, can be used separately for adding cute touches to various works, like  the tiny envie below. I tend to use the smaller dies from Die of the Month sets all over again, and you?

Never enough bookmarks! Nigdy dość zakładek do książek!

Nigdy dość zakładek do książek!
Śliczne wykrojniki-borderki zainspirowały mnie do zrobienia tych zakładek, w ulubionej formie. Taka zakładka to dwie karteczki sklejone ze sobą górną krawędzią – wierzchnia ma ozdobnie wycięty otwór, przez który widać tekst książki. Zakładkę nasadza się na stronę, i dlatego jest to moja ulubiona forma, ponieważ taka zakładka  nie wypadnie z książki przez przypadek! Dodatkowo tutaj przycięłam górną i dolną krawędź w serwetkowe wzorki – wykorzystując do tego wspomniane borderki.

*Wykrojniki do wykonania mojej pracy otrzymałam od Amazing Paper Grace*

You can never have enough bookmarks!
The pretty die-cut bookmarks inspired me to make these bookmarks, in my favorite form. Such a bookmark is two pieces of paper glued together with the top edge – the top one has a decorative hole cut out, through which you can see the text of the book.The bookmark slips onto the page, and that’s why it’s my favorite form, because it won’t fall out of the book by accident! In addition, here I trimmed the top and bottom edges in napkin patterns – using the mentioned borders.

*Amazing Paper Grace supplied me with cutting dies for my creation*

Do wykonania tych zakładek wykorzystałam poniższe zestawy wykrojników:

I used the die cutting sets below to make these bookmarks:

Romantic Slimline Borders Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection S4-1165

With Love Regalia Card Builder Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection S5-492

Adoring Fleurette Card Builder – ale o co chodzi?

Moja dzisiejsza kartka została wykonana z zestawu wykrojników Amazing Paper Grace, “Adoring Fleurette Card Builder Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection”. Co się kryje pod słowem “cardbuilder”? Mogę wyjasnić tak: jest to zestaw wykrojników umożliwiający stworzenie kompletnej kartki – zawiera większe elementy do ozdobnego wyciącia tła (można kombinować układanie wykrojników w kanapce i uzyskać dziurki w tle albo duży ornament – jak u mnie na przykładzie), plakietkę z ornamentem i napisem oraz wykrojniki drobizgi – jak np. kwiatuszki i listeczki.

Ktoś z Was miał okazję z takim zestawem pracować? I jak wrażenia? Ja uważam, że to świetny pomysł, żeby różne rodzaje wykrojników łączyć w większe zestawy dające dużo twórczych możliwości.

Swoją kartkę ozdobiłam jeszcze dwoma kwiatami wyciętymi z zestawu “Primrose Heart Façade”.

*Moja praca została wykonana z użyciem wykrojników, które otzymałam od Amazing Paper Grace*

My card today was made from the Amazing Paper Grace die-cutting set, "Adoring Fleurette Card Builder Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection". What is the meaning of the word "cardbuilder" I can explain like this: it’s a set that allows you to create a complete card – it contains larger elements for decorative cutting out the background (you can combine layering of die-cuts in a sandwich and get holes in the background or a large ornament – like in my example), a badge with an ornament and an inscription and small die-cuts – like flowers and leaves.

Any of you had a chance to work with such a set? And what are your impressions? I think it’s a great idea to combine different types of die-cuts into bigger sets giving a lot of creative possibilities.

I decorated my card with two more flowers cut out from the "Primrose Heart Façade" set.

Amazing Paper Grace March 2022 Die of the Month Blog Hop

It is my great pleasure to introduce today the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for March. This is a wonderful kit that consists of very large elements that allow you to cut out a card base, openwork frames in various configurations, but also small elements like flowers and leaves to create lovely details. APG Design Team made such a wonderful projects this month – be sure to check the list of blog links I list in the lower part of my post, to find them all!

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

     
There are 12 dies included in the Bella Ovalette.

My work using this set is a fancy shaped card with handmade flowers and a small bookmark. I used scrapbooking papers in spring colors and layered the cut out elements for extra dimension. Flower and leave dies allow to create cute flowers – I additionally embossed them with stylus to give them more realistic shape.

This small ornament, with which you can cut both a decorative frame and decorative holes, immediately inspired me to make a bookmark with see-through holes, through which you can see the print in the book. I love details like that! This bookmark is a perfect gift for any bookworm and it is so small that can be inserted inside the card. And what you would create with the set?

Koncert Ralpha Kaminskiego w Cavatina Hall – layout

Mamy w Bielsku-Białej nową salę koncertową- Cavatina Hall. W Walentynki byłam tam na fenomenalnym koncercie Ralpha Kaminskiego – i co prawda znałam jego płytę “Kora”, ale wykonanie na żywo przez Artystę zachwyciło mnie totalnie. A sama sala koncertowa zrobiła na mnie jak najlepsze wrażenie – dźwięk jest niesamowity. Nie mogę się już doczekać kolejnych koncertów!

Za takimi przeżyciami idzie oczywiście ogromna chęć utrwalenia wspomnień! Wykorzystałam wykrojniki z Amazing Paper Grace żeby stworzyć ozdoby idealnie dopasowane do mojej historii – na layoucie starałam się oddać klimat sali, całęj w drewnie i czerni, a sztuczne kolorowe kwiaty, które były charakterystycznym elementen scenografii tego konkretnie koncertu upamiętniłam kwiatami wyciętymi z kolorowych papierów.

***Wykrojniki do moich prac otrzymuję od Amazing Paper Grace***

We have a new concert hall in Bielsko-Biała – Cavatina Hall. On Valentine’s Day I was there at the phenomenal concert of Ralph Kaminski – and although I knew his album "Kora", the live performance by the Artist delighted me completely. And the concert hall itself made the best impression on me – the sound is amazing. I can’t wait for the next concerts!

Such an experience is of course followed by a great desire to preserve the memories! I used dies from Amazing Paper Grace to create embellishments perfectly matching my story – on the layout I tried to reflect the atmosphere of the hall, all wood and black, and the artificial colored flowers that were a characteristic element of the scenery of this particular concert I commemorated with flowers cut from colored papers.

***I get the dies for my works from Amazing Paper Grace***

W mojej pracy wykorzystałam nastepujące zestawy wykrojników / I used the followieng die sets in my work:

A2 Radiant Navette Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection S4-1167

Cinch and Go Blossoms Etched Dies from the Classically Becca Collection

With Love–kartka na Walentynki, z kolekcji Clasically Becca

Clasically Becca, kolekcja wykrojników, którą przestawiałam po raz pierwszy w poprzednim poście, ponownie gości w moim kąciku twórczym. Zbliżają się Walentynki, dobrze mieć na podorędziu piękną kartkę z wyznaniem miłości. Elegancja wyciętych wzorów i papiery w kolorach szarości, różu i kremu sprawiły, że moja kartka daleka jest od kiczu kojarzonego z tym świętem. Sądzę zresztą, że może być wręczona także z innej, serdecznej okazji :)

***Wykrojniki do wykonania kartki otrzymałam od Amazing Paper Grace***

Clasically Becca, the collection of die-cuts I featured for the first time in my previous post, is back in my creative corner. Valentine’s Day is coming up and it’s good to have a beautiful card with declaration of love on hand. The elegance of cut-out patterns and papers in gray, pink and cream colors made my card far from the kitsch associated with this holiday. I also think that it can be given on another, hearty occasion :)

***I received the dies for this card from Amazing Paper Grace***

Do stworzenia kartki wykorzystałam następujące zestawy / I was working with the following dies to create my card:

I am using Circle Meets Square set here to create a card and a gift package box – something to put my wishes in and something to put a small gift in. Handmade means – containing lots of my love.  And supplies I used to make the set are very limited – just patterned scrapbooking papers, brown ink and dies. The elegant die designs add so much, that I don’t want to overdo.

I used Daisy Delight Garden Shutters A2 Card Base Etched Dies from the Garden Shutters Collection by Becca Feeken S5-479 and created an interactive birthday card, in A2 format,  full of daisies (flowers were cut out with dies coming in the set).

Boże Narodzenie na słodko– kartka ze słodkościami

To już ostatni moment na wysłanie kartek świątecznych do najbliższych! U mnie tym razem kartka na słodko, a na niej pierniczki lukrowane i gorąca czekolada z piankami, a to wszystko na tle wykonanym z użyciem wykrojników Amazing Paper Grace z kolekcji Fluted Classics. To co w niej uwielbiam, to mnogość podstawowych kształtów + opcjonalne wykończenie brzegów a’la serwetka ze ściegiem.dzierganym. Na kartce użyłam klasycznych prostokątów Fluted Classics Rectangles S5-475. Napis, który wygląda jakby był zrobiony lukrem, to jeden z wykorjników z zestawu Silent Night Make a Scene Etched Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection S5-462.

**Wykrojniki do wykonania kartki otrzymałam od Amazing Paper Grace.**

It’s the last moment to send Christmas cards to your loved ones! This time I have a sweet card with frosted gingerbread men and hot chocolate with marshmallows on the background made with Amazing Paper Grace dies from the Fluted Classics collection. What I love about it is the multitude of basic shapes + the optional edge finishing a’la doily with stitch knit. I used the Fluted Classics Rectangles S5-475 on this card and the lettering, which looks like it was made with icing, is one of the dies from the Silent Night Make a Scene Etched Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection S5-462.

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

Boże Narodzenie 2021–kartki shabby chic z Mikołajem

Pastelowe, pogodne, w stylu shabby chic – takie są te kartki z Mikołajami. Wykorzystalam do ich zrobienia wykrojniki z najnowszej kolekcji Amazing Paper Grace, które wykrawają papier pozwalając uzyskać efekt brzegu obrębionego ściegiem dzierganym. Wykrojniki są we wszystkich podstwowych kształtach (koła, kwadraty, prostokąty, owale i szalenie ostatnio modne “slimline”).

Pastel, cheerful, shabby chic style – these are the cards with Santa Clauses. I used dies from the latest Amazing Paper Grace collection to cut out the paper and create a faux stitched edge effect. The dies come in all basic shapes (circles, squares, rectangles, ovals and the recently fashionable "slimline").

Piękne wykrojniki wykorzystane do stworzenia moich kartek otrzymałam od Amazing Paper Grace / Beautiful dies used to make my cards were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.

Do wykonania kartek wykorzystałam następujące zestawy wykrojników Amazing Paper Grace:

Fluted Classics Circles Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection S4-1150

Fluted Classics Squares Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection S4-1151

Holiday Word Blocks Etched Dies Christmas Cascade Collection S5-430

Ornamentowa kartka na Boże Narodzenie 2021

Piękne wykrojniki wykorzystane do stworzenia moich kartek otrzymałam od Amazing Paper Grace / Beautiful dies used to make my cards were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.

Na dworze jest coraz zimniej i wieczory coraz dłuższe, co sprzyja zaszywaniu się w domu i tworzeniu kartek na Boże Narodzenie. Moja dzisiejsza kartka jest trochę nietypowa – ascetyczna w kolorach i prosta w formie, ale ma różne warstwy papierów wykrojonych w ornamenty. Kilka diamencików dodaje jej blasku. Jak większość moich kartek jest łatwa do przesłania pocztą w kopercie.

It’s getting colder outside and the evenings are getting longer, which encourages me to hole up indoors and make Christmas cards. My card today is a bit unusual – ascetic in colors and simple in form, but it has different layers of papers cut out in ornaments. A few gems add to its sparkle. Like most of my cards it is easy to mail in an envelope.

Do wykonania tej kartki wykorzystałam zestaw wykrojników od Amazing Paper Grace z kolekcji Holiday Medley “ Celebrate Scrollwork Card Builder” S5-465

Amazing Paper Grace Fluted Classics Intro Blog Hop

Within the various collection introductions, Amazing Paper Grace has included sets that were inspired by classic sewing motifs. The Fluted Classics Collection is another wonderful layering shape set with ticking designs reminiscent of the blanket stitch on its edges! Nest the outer and inner rims with the insert to cut a tailored frame or for a beautiful background edge to any layering design. Keep it simple and you can cut a solid shape with just an outer rim. The Fluted Classics come in circle, square, oval, and rectangle shapes. We’ve also added a slimline version for those card makers who want to create an elegant and trendy silhouette.

Today’s projects were created with dies provided by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace.

My projects for today

I created a set containing a card, a bookmark and a small treat box as a gift for my friend’s name’s day. I used Fluted Classics Slimline Etched Dies from the Fluted Classics Collection S6-186, which help me to achive this lovely “handmade” feel and add a feminine touch.

Designers Tip: Although I worked with a slimline rectangle, I was able to cut out a small square to decorate the treat box. I did this by cutting two corners off the rectangle and gluing them side by side.

Klasycznie na Święta 2021–Amazing Paper Grace Holiday Medley

Połączenie czerwieni z zielenią i złotem nigdy mi się nie znudzi, jeśli chodzi o Święta Bożego Narodzenia. Tworzenie kartek świątecznych, żeby móc je wysyłać w grudniu do bliskich, to jedno z moich ulubionych zajęć jesiennych. Na pokazanej tu kartce wykorzystałam wykrojnik od Amazing Paper Grace, którym można wyciąć efektowny ażurowy wzór. W zestawie znajduje się też kaligrafowany napis.

The combination of red with green and gold never wears off for me when it comes to Christmas. Creating Christmas cards to send to loved ones in December is one of my favorite fall activities. For the card shown here, I used the die set from Amazing Paper Grace, which you can use to cut out a striking openwork pattern. It also comes with a calligraphy lettering “Happy Holidays”.

Zestaw wykrojników, z którym pracowałam, można znaleźć tutaj:

Spotkanie w drodze na wakacje–layout

Historia spotkania z zaprzyjaźnionymi duszami, które odbyło się w miłych okolicznościach przyrody, w drodze na moje wrześniowe nadmorskie wakacje. Oreo też załapał się w kadr. Ten rok obfituje w takie spotkania i jest dla mnie powodem do wdzięczności!

The story of a meeting with friendly souls, which took place in a nice natural setting, on the way to my September seaside vacation. Oreo was also in the frame. This year is full of such encounters and is a reason for me to be grateful!

Do dekoracji mojego layoutu wykorzystałam koronkowe wycinanki wykonane z użyciem Amazing Paper Grace Perfect Harmony Notecard Embellishments S4-1149 z kolekcji Sweet Serenade.

To decorate my layout, I used lace cutouts made with Amazing Paper Grace Perfect Harmony Notecard Embellishments S4-1149 from the Sweet Serenade collection.

I made 3-dimensional card – a cluster of Christmas Trees with gifts. The great advantage of this card base is that it folds flat and can be put in the envelope. Different combinations of die cuts make different designs of the trees and that gives them the interesting look.

Designer Tip:  I used the Christmas Tree dies to cut a single trees and turned them out into gift tags, adding some gems and die cut presents. I think they are so cute and christmasy!

Klasyczne Święta–kartka z dzwonkami

Klasycznie, świątecznie, z dzwoneczkami – taka jest moja dzisiejsza kartka z okazji Bożego Narodzenia 2021. Główne ozdoby to ażurowe dzwoneczki ze złotego kartonu i poinsecje.

W tej pracy wykorzystałam następujące zestawy wykrojników:

Silver Bells Dimensional Doily Etched Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection

Happy Anniversary Vignette Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes

Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh – APG Die of the Month

 

Kartki na Boże Narodzenie 2021

 

Klasyczne kolory, bardzo świąteczne poinsecje i piękny świąteczny napis kaligrafowany – to temat przewodni tego zestawu kartek na Boże Narodzenie. Jedna kartka ma formę otwieranej bramy, a druga kształt bombki – a wycinanka z okrągłym napisem pasuje idealnie do obydwu :)

Do wykonania kartek wykorzystałam następujące wykrojniki od Amazing Paper Grace:

Merry Filigree Card Builder Etched Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection

Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

 

Classic colors, very festive poinsettias and beautiful Christmas calligraphy lettering – that’s the theme of this Christmas card set. One card is in the form of an opening gate, and the other in the shape of a bauble – and the cutout with the circular lettering fits perfectly with both :)

Amazing Paper Grace October Die of the Month Blog Hop – Flourished Fleurit

Elegance is our go-to style at Amazing Paper Grace.  We are always on the hunt for those elegant elements that you can add to a card that gives it just the right feel and appeal.  This month we’re head over heels for a year around a cascade of tendrils that can be snipped here and there to be used for top and bottom card decoration.  Say welcome to the Amazing Paper Grace October 2021 Die of the Month – Flourished Fleurit.

The inspiration for Flourished Fleurit comes from looking through our stashes for just the right Rectangle or just the right Square.  Guess what – Flourished Fleurit can be both.  A snip here or a snip there puts give is just the right proportion to be a rectangle or a square.  We cleverly added in sprigs of flowers so that you can cover your transitions.  Hunting for elegant corners for a slimline – look no further.  A slip or two has you covered.

 

Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:

1.  Snip between all four corners for slimline decoration 2.  Snip between the connecting rod and cinch for a square 3.  Cut as a rectangle for a beautiful A7 layout with many options.

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

 

There are 9 dies included in the Flourished Fleurit.

 

My Project Today using Flourished Fleurit.

I love the festive feel of this die set so I made a big Christmas card and a gift card holder in matching design. I used gold-mirror cardstock for these open scrollwork and it turned out just gorgeous.

Designer Tip: The biggest die has a fancy shape that is really great for making a card base, I created a gift card folder by folding the cardstock die cut in a half.

Just a Hello

Z mojego zapotrzebowania na kartki “bez okazji” powstała ta pozytywna kartka z napisem “Just a Hello”. Wykorzystałam na niej nawet najmniejsze skrawki kolorowych kartonów – drobne wykrojniki idealnie nadają się do tego, żeby wycinać w małych skrawkach i wykorzystać ekonomicznie swoje zasoby.

Wykorzystane przeze mnie zestawy wykrojników od Amazing Paper Grace to:

Make A Scene Bold Greetings S4-1090

Shapeabilities Cinch and Go V S4-995

 

 

Out of my need for "no occasion" cards, this positive "Just a Hello" card was created. I used even the smallest scraps of colored cardstock on it – the tiny die cuts are perfect for when you want to cut in small scraps and use your resources economically.

 

I used the following die sets by Amazing Paper Grace:

Amazing Paper Grace August Die of the Month Blog Hop –Lattice Petal Foldover

It’s a square card front! 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 Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for August 2021 -Lattice Petal Foldover.

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 3×6 for a folded note) notes for inside and you’ll always be ready with a stunning note.

Here are some ideas that will inspire you to create with the foldover elements:

1. A box with the foldover as the lid;

2. Notecards (there is even a closure piece);

3. A sweet, petite basket.

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

There are14 dies included in theLattice Petal Foldover.

My Project Today usingLattice Petal Foldover.

As a keepsake of a lovely meeting I made a scrapbook page featuring a photo of my friend and me, and lots of embellishments. Die cuts out of scrapbooking papers allowed me to match perfectly the colors to my work.

Designer Tip: 

I cut the cutouts into pieces to use as embellishments on my scrapbook.
In the piece shown below, there are 10 pieces that decorate my scrapbook page.

Supplies:
Accessories: Amazing Paper Grace July 2021 Die of the Month – Lattice Petal Foldover
Stamps: none
Paper and embellishments: “Sugar&Spice” 12×12” paper pad by P13, “Sugar&Spice” Decorative Tags, “Sugar&Spice” stickers

Na zawsze w naszej pamięci–o Wujku Józiu

Wujek Józio, mój ojciec chrzestny, był największym fanem moich ręcznie robionych kartek. Kolekcjonował je wszystkie, a ja regularnie w każde Święta, najładniejsze kartki słałam do wujka, z odręcznie wypisanymi życzeniami, co również ogromnie cenił. Wujek Józio odszedł w marcu tego roku i bardzo nam wszystkim go brakuje. Chciałam zrobić dla siebie pamiątkę- pożegnanie, ze zdjęciem, które zrobiła wujkowi moja siostra w restauracji Śląska Prohibicja.

Uncle Józio, my godfather, was the biggest fan of my handmade cards. He collected them all, and I regularly sent the most beautiful cards to him every Christmas and Easter, with handwritten wishes, which he also greatly appreciated. Uncle Józio passed away in March of this year, and we all miss him very much. I wanted to make a keepsake for myself, a farewell, with a photo, which my sister took in the Silesian Prohibition restaurant.

 

W swojej pracy wykorzystałam zestaw wykrojników “Forever in Our Memory” od Amazing Paper Grace, z kolekcji “Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes”. W skład kolekcji wchodzi także zestaw “Petite Floral Potpourri” zawierający przeróżne wzory drobnych kwiatków i listków.

I used the "Forever in Our Memory" die cut set from Amazing Paper Grace’s "Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes" collection. The collection also includes a "Petite Floral Potpourri" set with a variety of small flowers and leaves.

Home Sweet Home – Pop Up 3D Vignette

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, Pop Up 3D Vignette 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 three 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!

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

Życzenia urodzinowe–kartka w ozdobnym kształcie

Dzisiaj prezentuję kartkę urodzinową, w ozdobnym kształcie, wykonaną z użyciem wykrojników Birthday Wishes Vignette S5-455 od Amazing Paper Grace. Największy wykrojnik z tego zestawu nadaje się idealnie do wycięcia bazy do kartki – i to jest świetny sposób na nadanie kartce wyjątkowej strojności.

Today I’m featuring a birthday card, in a decorative shape, made using the Birthday Wishes Vignette S5-455 die cuts from Amazing Paper Grace. The largest die-cut from this set is perfect for cutting out the base for the card – and it’s a great way to give the card a special touch.

Serdeczne podziękowanie–kartka z Amazing Paper Grace

Wyjątkowe podziękowania pięknie jest wyrazić odpowiednią kartką! Amazing Paper Grace ostatnio wprowadziło kolelekcję “Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes”, w której znajdują się wykrojniki z kaligrafowanymi sentencjami na różne okazje. Kolekcja z sentencjami pasuje także do starszych wykrojnków, do wykonywania kartek przestrzennych – Vignettes 3D.

A special thank you can be beautifully expressed with the right card! Amazing Paper Grace recently introduced the "Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes" collection, which features dies with calligraphed sentiments for various occasions. The sentiment collection also matches the older dies, for making dimensional cards – 3D Vignettes.

 

W swojej pracy wykorzystałam zestaw Heartfelt Thanks Vignette S5-453:

oraz Petite Floral Potpourri S3-420:

Happy… wymiana ATC

Ostatnio brałam udział w wymianie Artist Trading Cards, której tematem były emocje. Swoje karty wykonałam używając pięknego wykrojnika z nowej kolekcji Amazing Paper Grace "Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection" – Happy Anniversary S5-458. Wykrojnik jest wyjątkowo duży i dekoracyjny, więc wykorzystałam jedynie fragment pięknej wycinanki, ze słowem "Happy". Tło na kartach wykonałam z drobnych wycinanek z zestawu Petite Floral Potpourri S3-420.

Poniżej możecie zobaczyć zestawy, które wykorzystałam w mojej pracy.

I recently participated in an Artist Trading Cards exchange with a theme of emotions. I made my cards using a beautiful die cut from Amazing Paper Grace’s new "Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection" – The Happy Anniversary S5-458 die-cut is extra large and decorative so I only used a piece of the beautiful cut-out with the word "Happy". The background on the cards is made of tiny cut-outs from Petite Floral Potpourri set S3-420.

Below you can see the sets that I used in my work.

 

 

 

Introducing the Amazing Paper Grace | Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes

Beautiful card front sentiments do the heavy lifting on a card and the recipient knows exactly what you are trying to say. In that spirit, today we are introducing a new collection called Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes. It spins beautiful, intertwined calligraphic words into a compact label shape, perfect for the front of your card.

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

Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Inspiration

…

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!

Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection

…

The Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection 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. Romantic Chargeour works with all the sentiments.

Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection also contains an "inside" sentiment set that matches the thought on the outside of the card. To top off the collection we’ve included Petite Floral Potpourri. It’s a compilation of all the small flowers and leaves that are most requested by our community.

My Projects for Today

Here is my card made using Bless Your Heart Vignette Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca FeekenS5-459. I went for a mixture of dark paper colors (purple and navy) with a mirror gold cardstock sentiment to make a statement and add to elegance. Trying not to overload it, I added just few simple small flowers and leave branches cut out using Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken S3-420.
There is a stamp set included in this collection and it is perfect for adding some thoughtful message inside the card: Beautiful Inside and Out Sentiments Clear Stamp from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken STP-058.

And the inside of the card with stamped sentiment:

My second project is 3D card (which folds flat and can be fitten in an envelope) made using the older dies – Shapeabilities Grand Cabinet 3D Card Etched Dies Elegant 3D Vignettes by Becca Feeken S6-139. Beautiful sentiment goes with it perfectly and gives it a new life :) Again, I used a mirror gold cardstock to make it more elegant.

Which sentiment shape works best for you?

Ptaszek mi powiedział… kartka ze złoceniami

Mały ptaszek mi powiedział… a resztę już można dopisać sobie w środku kartki :) Ten uroczy zestaw, składający się z kwiatowego wianka, ptaszka i napisu okolicznościowego, to kolejna część kolekcji Sweet Cardlets II od Amazing Paper Grace – A Little Birdie GLP-286.

Na papierach w pastelowych kolorach, z kwiatowym wzorem, odbiłam motywy złotą folią przy pomocy metalowych płytek z zestawu. Złocenia wyglądają ślicznie na żywo i sprawiają trochę problemów kiedy chce się je pokazać na zdjeciach :D Poniżej możecie zobaczyć efekt lekko pod światło.

Amazing Paper Grace June Die of the Month Blog Hop – Victorian Splendor Slimline

What’s better than one world?  Well, of course, it’s the best of both worlds!  Today we are introducing a new Slimline Die that is part of an A7 Card Front – we call it an all-in-one.  Who knew that slimline could look so feminine – welcome the slim new Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for June 2021, Victorian Splendor Slimline.

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

Our inspiration is always being able to get the most out of a die set and this one scores high on the bar for functionality and feminine appeal.  If you can imagine a "Card Creator" type of die that has an inset Slimline, a decorative inset Border, and a sentiment label that could all be used in a Card Front – then you’d be looking at Victorian Splendor Slimline.  It has A2 and A7 elements.  It functions as a Card Front and pretends to be a slimline – all in one. 

Here are some ideas that might inspire you to use pieces of the set:

1.  Pull the mini-sized slimline out and use it separately. 
2.  Inlay the border at the bottom and top of a landscape A7 Card. 
3.  Create a tall gatefold by folding in the border panel on two cuts of the A7 card front.

There are 10 dies included in the Victorian Splendor Slimline.

My Project Today using Victorian Splendor Slimline.

Designer Tip: I was first apprehensive about using heavily patterned papers with this set, but unnecessarily so. These patterns also look beautiful on such papers, taking on a slightly gothic feel.

Supplies:
Accessories: Amazing Paper Grace June 2021 Die of the Month – Victorian Splendor Slimline, Latarnia Morska box, gems

Paper: Mintay Papers “Old Manor” collection

Sweet Cardlets II–kartka z domkiem

Kolejny zestaw z kolekcji płytek do nakładania folii na gorąco Sweet Cardlets II to You Are  My Home GLP-283. Uwielbiam motywy domków! Tym razem użyłam czarnej folii dającej efekt emalii, która idealnie pasuje do przytulnych szaro-żółtych papierów do scrapbookingu. W zestawie znajdują się także wykrojniki, które umożliwiają idealna wycięcie foliowanych motywów. Świetne jest to, że w jednym malutkim zestawie mamy tło, obrazki i sentencje – komplet do wykonania małych słodkich karteczek :)

 

Another set from the Sweet Cardlets II hot foil stamping plate collection is You Are My Home GLP-283 and I love the cottage theme! This time I used a black foil that gives an enamel effect, which goes perfectly with the cozy grey and yellow scrapbooking papers. The kit also comes with die-cuts that allow you to perfectly cut out the foiled motifs. What’s great is that in one tiny set we have the background, images and sentences – complete for making cute little cards :)

 

Sweet Cardlets II (SCII) Intro Blog Hop

Last October we introduced Cardlets and they are back in Sweet Cardlets II!  A "Cardlet" is a small character motif that comes with a sentiment that fits within a  3 x 3 area and has a matching die.  It just so happens that this size is perfect for the ever-popular Slimline Cards.  Join us in introducing a new slimline as well – Hemstitch Slimline – it will match Hemstitch Rectangles and all of the other Hemstitch Classics. 

 

I am thrilled to partner with Amazing Paper Grace to bring you this little taste of inspiration!

Sweet Cardlets are just like stamps, but they are metal plates used in the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System 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 on the Spellbinders website).

The Inspiration behind Sweet Cardlets II

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" 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.

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" footprint.  Sweet Cardlets also fit into the Cascade Card Base and work along with all of the Shadowbox Dies.

As for my project today I have two cards – a cascade one and a slimline one. Sweet Cardlets are just like that: sweet and small cards. I just love the small motifs – very easy to combine and use on cards, i.e. cascade ones. The pot and the cup from Cup of Kindness Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set are just too cute (GLP-284). I fell in love with the dotted background! It adds such a lovely detail to patterned paper. Now I want to “golden dot” everything!

My second project is a slimline card made using Hemstitch Slimline Dies S6-175 – they imitate hemstich, which is gorgeous. And slimline is all over the place right now! So let me join the trend – but honestly, I do love this shape, so elegant. I addes hot foiled elements to my card as well, like a note “You’re my cup of tea” which comes with Cup of Kindness Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set GLP-284

Each of our Creative Team members will show you their take on cards made with the Sweet Cardlets II Collection.

Witrażowo–kartka z samych wycinanek

 

Dzisiaj dzielę się kartką, którą skomponowałam z samych wycinanek. Wykorzystałam wycinanki ażurowe, tła, a nawet resztki z wycinanek, które zazwyczaj są wyrzucane. Kolekcja to inspirowana witrażami Be Leave Me Etched Dies from Stained Glass Bouquet Collection by Becca Feeken.

 

Today I am sharing a card that I composed from just die cuts. I used openwork die cuts, backgrounds, and even scraps from cutouts that are usually discarded. The collection is a stained glass inspired Be Leave Me Etched Dies from Stained Glass Bouquet Collection by Becca Feeken.
