This scrapbook page documents my puppy Oreo enjoying his Christmas present, that he got 2 weeks ago. Anything that squeaks makes him so happy! I was inspired by the colors of his fur and toy to create this scrapbook, and I cut out the Christmas and doggy elements with dies by Amazing Paper Grace.
You can find the dies I used to make this layout by clicking the below links:
Here is another Christmas card I would like to share, created with Home Sweet Quilt collection of dies. This time I added an extra tecture in the backgroud by using the embossing folder. For my small quilt I used some scraps of colorful and gold cardstock. I think deep down I’m a quilter, because I love scraps – except that my scraps are paper and I create paper works from them :)

I’m excited to create cards with a new collection from Amazing Paper Grace that is inspired by American quilts – Home Sweet Quilt Collection by Becca Feeken. You can find dies, embossing folder and a stamp set in this collection – super versatile!

My Projects for Today
So, I took a lot of colorful scrapbooking paper scraps and made them into 4 small cards, the kind perfect for a short nice message attached to a package. These are 4×4” and I really love how they turned out. This is a great way to use any paper leftovers and the designer papers work really well as they look so cute with these fake stitches. The die cut sentiment “Quilty Hugs” is a lovely touch – to make it more dimensional, I glued 3 layers together.

Today a little break from Christmas themes, as Amazing Paper Grace inspires us Valentine’s Day with the Sweetheart Envelope and Notecard Set.
I fell in love with this openwork heart! The set allows you to make lovely envelopes, tags and notecards, and the main piece, an ornate heart, can be used in many types of work.
***Today’s creations were created with the dies supplied by Amazing Paper Grace***
There are 14 cutting dies included in the Sweetheart Envelope and Notecard Set.
My project for today is a set: the Valentine’s card, the small sweet envie (gift card size) and the bookmark. On all of them I used the heart element, and even three! on the card, in the very fashionable slimline size at the moment.
Paper by Craft Consortium, red and pink metallic cardstock, self adhesive pearls

Wykrojniki Amazing Paper Grace są znane z elegancji, ale tym razem postanowiłam spróbować ich użyć na kartce świątecznej w stylu raczej rustykalnym. Te urocze bombki pochodzą z zestawu Flourished Ornament Slimline Etched Dies S6-201 z kolekcji Christmas Flourish Collection. Ornamentowe bombki wycięte z dwóch rodzajów kartonu, ozdobiłam dodatkowo mikrokoralikami, a cała kartka jest w modnym formacie “slimline”.
Amazing Paper Grace dies are known for their elegance, but this time I decided to try using them on a Christmas card in a rather rustic style. These lovely baubles are from the Flourished Ornament Slimline Etched Dies S6-201 set from the Christmas Flourish Collection. The ornamental baubles are cut from two types of cardstock, I decorated them additionally with microbeads, and the whole card is in the fashionable slimline format.

The Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for November, which is Pop Up 3D Vignette Alarm Clock, is a real treat. If you have a soft spot for old clocks, you would be delighted!
***Today’s creations were created with the dies supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.***
There are 21 cutting dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Alarm Clock.
As for my projects today, I made a 3D alarm clock and a card; I went crazy with gold mirror cardstock and dark designer papers to achieve this striking look and I am loving the effect. The dies can be combined in lots of different ways and as you can see on my 2D card, I used one of the dies to cut out the ornaments in the background, through which the gold mirror cardstock shines through.
The Pop Up 3D Vignette Alarm Clock can be fold flat and mailed in a normal envelope – I just love this feature of 3D Pop Up 3D Vignettes and I use it a lot!

Moja dzisiejsza kartka jest skromna kolorystycznie i pod kątem ilości elementów, ale zadbałam o to, żeby była bogata w tekstury. Folder do embossingu z pięknym świątecznym wzorem przychodzi tu z pomocą na śliczne tło. Chciałam żeby chatka nawiązywała do piernika, stąd wycięłam ją z kraftowego papieru. Poniżej znajduje się lista produktów Amazing Paper Grace, których użyłam do wykonania kartki.
My card today is modest in color and in terms of the number of elements, but I made sure it was rich in textures. An embossing folder with a beautiful Christmas pattern comes to the rescue here for a lovely background. I wanted the hut to refer to gingerbread, hence I cut it out of kraft paper.Below is the list of Amazing Paper Grace products I used to make the card.
Dzisiaj pokazuję kartkę w kolorach nietypowych jak na Święta Bożego Narodzenia, bo są to kolory Ziemi. Na kartce prezentuję użycie zestawu wykrojników Amazing Paper Grace z kolekcji “Christmas Flourish” – Joy Flourish Doily S5-532. Całość naprawdę dobrze się zgrała i wygląda odświętnie dzięki eleganckim wzorom wycinanek i użyciu kartonu w kolorze jasnego złota.
Today I’m showing a card in colors unusual for Christmas, because they are the colors of the Earth. On the card I show the use of Amazing Paper Grace die-cutting set from the „Christmas Flourish” collection – Joy Flourish Doily S5-532. The whole thing came together really well and looks festive thanks to the elegant patterns of the cutouts and the use of light gold colored cardstock.
***Dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace were used in today’s creations.***
Zestawienie czerwieni, zieleni i złota to moja ulubiona klasyka na Boże Narodzenie. Lubię eksperymentować z kolorami i wzorami, a jednak ten zestaw, w połączeniu z eleganckimi motywami i retro wzorami, jest najbliższy mojemu sercu.
***Dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace were used in today’s creations.***
The combination of red, green and gold is my favorite classic for Christmas. I like to experiment with colors and patterns, yet this set, combined with elegant motifs and retro designs, is closest to my heart.

With these dies, you can make an unusual 3D card or mini album in the shape of a retro camera. As I show in the photos below, the card / mini album has 4 removable inserts inside, which can be decorated as desired, such as small photos, wishes, dedications, notes from different people – the possibilities are endless! And another great feature – this retro camera can be folded flat and put into an envelope. There are also dies with small embellishments and sentiments included.

Her designs are know for elegance and versatility, and this one is no different. I created 3D envelope and embellished it with poinsettias. I used the same die to create poinsettias for the lid of the explosion box.
***Today’s projects were created with the dies supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.***
This 3D envelope can be flaten and fits into an mailing envie – how cool is that? What’s more – the base (plain 3D envelope) can be used with any theme you like. I already have tons of ideas how to use it for birthdays!

Zima – moja ulubiona pora roku, kojarzy mi się z ciszą i umiarem kolorystycznym. Jeśli spadnie śnieg, to jest bajkowo i bardzo przytulnie. Na mojej dzisiejszej kartce chciałam odtworzyć taką właśnie atmosferę.
Winter – my favorite season, I tend to associate with quietness and calmness of color. If snow falls, it’s fabulous and very cozy. On my card today I wanted to recreate such an atmosphere. Here I used dis from Amazing Paper Grace’s „Seasonal Label Motif” collection: Winter Label Motifs S4-1240.
Kolejnym zestawem ze świątecznej kolekcji, z którym pracowałam, jest Let it Snowman A2 Cardfront S5-533 z kolekcji Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Flourishes. Bałwanek jest uroczy, a zarazem elegancki. W zestawie znajdziecie różne wersje napisów świątecznych, które pasują do kształtu banerka.
Another set from the Christmas collection I worked with is Let it Snowman A2 Cardfront S5-533 from the Amazing Paper Grace Christmas Flourishes collection. The snowman is adorable and elegant at the same time. The set includes different versions of Christmas lettering to match the shape of the banner.

The die set I am featuring today is Sugarplum Tweets S4-1244 and I assure you that it is a pure delight to work with! I am a fan of folk and Scandi feel and these cute birds inspired me to create cards just in this style.
***Today’s projects were created with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.***
My Projects for Today
My cards created with Sugarplum Tweets S4-1244 have a limited color palette of reds, whites, dark grey and kraft. It gives them this cozy, folksy look. I used foam squares to make my birds pop off the card a bit.
This month Die Of The Month by Amazing Paper Grace – Pop Up 3D Vignette Bubble Gum Machine is so much fun! Now you can create your own, 3D, cute bubblegum machine <3
I am sure it is a perfect to go “card” for any happy occasion, specially for young ones (by age and by heart).

I made two versions of the bubblegum machine – one free-standing, 3D, and the other in the form of an ornament on the card.
Supplies: Amazing Paper Grace September 2022 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Bubble Gum Machine; plain cardstock – various colors, metallic cardstock – various colors, acrylic drops, 3D foam adhesive squares.

Oh, and the best part? This Bubblegum Machine can fit into an envie, because it folds flat! It would be so cool to see someone to open the envelope and discover the surprise :)
On the below card, I used acrylic drops as fake bubble gums. They look really lovely :)

Uwielbiam październikową jesień! Ale na tę jeszcze trochę muszę poczekać… jednak za sprawą kolekcji Seasonal Label Motifs od Amazing Paper Grace, jeszcze w sierpniu mogę zrobić uroczą jesienną kartkę.
This Fall Label Motifs S5-519 set of dies is like an autumn dream: it includes a beautiful ornament label (a’la gothic window), pumpkin, acorns, various leaves and twigs. Ideal for cards, but also for cutting out ornaments for layouts and mini albums. There is also a set of stamps with inscriptions, matching the entire collection: Seasonal Motif Sentiments Clear Stamp Set STP-150.
Czasami mniej znaczy więcej :) Na mojej dzisiejszej kartce nie ma wielu elementów, ale starannie połączyłam wycięte ozdobne kształty ze wzorami papierów i bardzo mi się podoba ten elegancki efekt prostoty.
Sometimes less is more :) On my today’s card there are not many elements, but I carefully combined cut out decorative shapes with patterned papers and I really like this elegant effect of simplicity.
I am sharing here today my works made with the newest Amazing Paper Grace die collection – The Seasonal Label Motifs. The collection consists of sets thematically related to seasons and holidays, and each set includes a plate shaped background die, flowers and leaves, and decorative motifs. A set of stamps with inscriptions completes the whole set.
***Projects created todaywere used with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace***
My Projects for Today
I created 2 cards for today’s inspirational blog hop. I had the pleasure to work with the set “Holiday Label Motifs” S4-1239 , but as you can see below, I used it also for non-Christmasy card. Those dies are super versatile! You can easily turn poinsettias into lillies by just changing the color of the cardstock ;)
Są takie okazje nietypowe, kiedy potrzebna jest kartka na życzenia, na już, na wczoraj. I właśnie taką pokazuję dzisiaj :) To kartka na “awaryjne” okazje, taką warto mieć schowaną w szufladzie. Na mojej kartce możecie zobaczyć kwiatki wycięte wykrojnikami z zestawu Layered Cherry Blossoms S4-1194, które uformowałam odpowiednio dłutkiem do embossingu i podkolorowałam markerem akwarelowym dla naturalnego efektu. Fajną sprawą jest to, że te dzięki wykrojnikom można wykonać takie kwiatki w dowolnym, pasującym do pracy, kolorze.
There are some unusual occasions when you need a greeting card, for now, for “yesterday”s. And just such I show today :) This is a card for „emergency” occasions, such a card is worth having tucked away in a drawer.
On my card you can see flowers cut with dies from Layered Cherry Blossoms set S4-1194, which I shaped properly with an embossing stylus and colored with a watercolor marker for a natural effect. The cool thing is that with these, thanks to the dies, you can make flowers in any color that suits your work.

Today I’m pleased to show work done with the Die of The Month set from Amazing Paper Grace – Peekaboo Trellis Panels. As always, the set is full of gorgeous dies that are very inspiring to create.
***Today’s creations were created with the dies supplied by Amazing Paper Grace***
The set includes two beautiful floral designs with which you can make an openwork background, layered flowers and leaves, and the word „Hugs” – a rich set with everything you need. At my place you can see an oblong, elegant card with a small box for some trinket as a gift, which I made with the same scrapbooking papers and decorated with similar motifs.

Jestem molem książkowym i moje potrzeby w zakresie posiadania zakładek są nieograniczone. Zakładki są także sprawdzonym i ulubionym upominkiem dla innych zapalonych czytelników. Dzisiaj pokazuję zakładki, które stworzyłam używając wykrojników Amazing Paper Grace z kolekcji “Right Words” – te zestawy zawierają najpopularniejsze słowa do wykonania napisów na kartce, ale również świetne ornamenty do tworzenia efektownych teł. Właśnie tych ostanich użyłam do wykonania tych zakładek. Postawiłam na kontrast czarnego kartonu i wzorzystych papierów do scrapbookingu – taka kombinacja daje naprawdę fajny efekt, spróbujcie koniecznie :)
***wykrojniki do wykonania prac otrzymałam od Amazing Paper Grace***
I am a bookworm and my need for bookmarks is endless. Bookmarks are also a tried and true favorite gift for other avid readers.
Today I’m showing the bookmarks I created using Amazing Paper Grace die-cuts from the „Right Words” collection – these sets contain the most popular words for making captions on a card, but also great ornaments for creating striking backgrounds. It was the latter that I used to make these bookmarks. I opted for the contrast of black cardstock and patterned scrapbooking papers – such a combination gives a really cool effect, be sure to try it :)
Zestawy wykrojników, z których wykonałam zakładki to/ sets I used to make the bookmarks:
Wszystkiego najlepszego z okazji urodzin! Dla mojego Taty, który obchodzi je dzisiaj :) Oczywiście Tata jest koneserem ręcznie robionych kartek – a ja mam dla niego taką okrągłą z kwiatami i okolicznościowym napisem. Wszystko na tej kartce wycięłam wykrojnikami – ozdobną ramkę w tle, warstwowe kwiaty i napis. Zawsze chciałam zrobić taką kartkę – ta wyszła bardzo lekka, radosna i praktyczna (łatwo mieści się w kopercie).
***wykrojniki do wykonania mojej kartki otrzymałam od Amazing Paper Grace***
Do wykonania kartki użyłam następujących zestawów:
Kartki na Święta Bożego Narodzenia zaczynam robić w lipcu :) Bo czemu nie? Kartkę ze świątecznym motywem ozdobiłam wycinankami z wykrojnika Amazing Paper Grace w bardzo modnym kształcie “slimline”. Wyszło troszkę przaśnie, troszkę elegancko – świąteczne kolory i chatka z piernika.
This is the time of the month that I inspire you with new set of dies from Amazing Paper Grace – Die of The Month. This one is really delightful – Tiara Trifold. These dies allow you to make folded cards in the form of accordion, and they will also be great for mini albums.
Different cutting combinations allow you to cut openwork or solid shapes. As usual, smaller ornaments are also included – as sentiment, tiny flowers and leaves.
***Today’s creations were created with the dies supplied by Amazing Paper Grace***
On the card I present today, I tried to show the possibilities of this set. The first part of the card is completely openwork, and the following parts are full. I decorated the individual panels with small flowers and leaves. On the openwork front I placed an inscription. The whole set looks beautiful, especially placed, for example, on a shelf or mantelpiece.

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.
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*
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:
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 :)

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).

There are 14 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette What’s Bakin’ Oven.
The 3D oven is just adorable and cut outs can be used a thousand ways! I created a 3D card that can be flatten and mailed via snail post, just using different colors of cardstock to make it look real and cute :)
But not only this, the oven is so versatile and has so many cute details that it was perfect as an embellishment for my scrapbook page about my culinary talented nephew and I am sure he will love it!

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? :)
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.

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.

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:
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.
*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.
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?
Other supplies: scrapbooking papers – Mintay Papers, miror gold cardstock

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:
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 :)

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:

My Projects for Today
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.
Designer tip: I snipped one die cut into 4 smaller parts to embellish the box. You can always do this with bigger designs, and to be honest – you save time this way :)

“You’re in my heart” czyli “Jesteś w moim sercu” to kartka zainspirowana naturą – jest na niej drzewo, kwiaty, ptaszek… Piękne tło i zarazem baza kartki są wycięte serwetkowym dużym wykrojnikiem. Napis i kwiaty pochodzą z innego zestawu i dają dużo możliwości – można je wycinać z dowolnych papierów, a kwiatom można przestrzennie ułożyć płatki.

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").

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.
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.
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.

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”.
