Amazing Paper Grace – Classically Becca Collection Intro Blog Hop

Today is a beautiful event – the design team at Amazing Paper Grace is presenting the Clasically Becca collection for the first time! In this collection you can find different sets of dies that combine: stunning elegant design, versatility and the best quality.

I’m a person who has a lot on my plate – and that’s why I delight in Becca’s designs; they allow me to create a variety of pieces that are pretty and interesting, but I don’t spend long hours on them. These are my go to accessories in case of any birthdays in my family and all kinds of holidays.

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

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 :)

Classically Becca Availability:
These dies and plates are available from Spellbinders right now! Click here: Classically Becca Collection.

Supplies:
Classically Becca Collection – Circle Meets Square set
Papers: Tim Holtz 12×12” Ideaology Paper Pad “Wallflower”, Mintay Papers “Woodland”, ink: Latarnia Morska “Gorzka czekolada”

You’re in my Heart–kartka inspirowana naturą

“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.

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

Tworząc tę kartkę wykorzystałam następujące zestawy wykrojników od Amazing Paper Grace: na tło Eyelet Lace Frame Etched Dies z kolekcji the Garden Shutters S6-184, na wewnętrzne owalne tło Fluted Classics Ovals Etched Dies z kolekcji the Fluted Classics S5-474, a napis i kwiaty pochodzą z zestawu Primrose Heart Façade S5-484.

My Project for Today

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.

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:

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:

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

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 :)

I used the following die sets from Amazing Paper Grace:

“Straszne” kartki na Halloween

Mamy już październik, więc popełniłam kartki z okazji Halloween. Święto niepoważne, więc kartki też w klimatach wesoło-strasznych, z pajęczyną, pająkiem, czarnym kotem, mumią i nietoperzami. Wszystkie te elementy powycinałam wykrojnikami Amazing Paper Grace z halloweenowej kolekcji – są naprawdę urocze.

 

 

It’s October already, so I made some Halloween cards. It’s not a serious holiday, so the cards are also in a fun and scary mood, with a spider, a black cat, a mummy and bats. All these elements I cut out with the Amazing Paper Grace die-cutters from the Halloween collection – they are really cute.

Wykrojniki, któych użyłam / I used the following dies:

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:

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.

 

Witraż czy intarsja? Wykrojnikowe eksperymenty :)

Ten piękny zestaw wykrojników z tulipanami, inspirowany witrażem, natchnął mnie do eksperymentów. Postanowiłam użyć papierów scrapbookingowych ze wzorami stylizowanymi na drewno i marmur do wykonania zestawu kartek – efekt szalenie mi się podoba.

Wykrojniki pochodzą z kolekcji Stained Glass Bouquet od Amazing Paper Grace – “Tulip Trio” S5-447 

 

This beautiful set of tulips dies, inspired by stained glass, inspired me to experiment. I decided to use scrapbooking papers with wood and marble designs to make a set of cards – I love the result.

I used dies from the stunning collection Stained Glass Bouquet od Amazing Paper Grace – “Tulip Trio” S5-447 

 

Wiosenna kartka–Amazing Paper Grace, krateczki i tiul

Mam wielką nadzieję, że pogoda nastanie już teraz wiosenna – a że radosne połączenie różowego z zielonym zawsze mi się wiosennie kojarzy, to taką mam dzisiaj kartkę do pokazania, celem tej wiosny przywołania. Kolory, tiul, wstążeczka, krateczki, koronka oraz niezła zabawa w układanie kompozycji z wycinanek wykrojnikowych (tu użyłam Amazing Paper Grace “Sweet Rondure”  S5-446 z kolekcji Stained Glass Bouquet oraz “Picot Petite Rectangles” S5-434 jako serwetkowy brzeg w tle.

 

I really hope that the weather is going to be spring-like now, and since the joyful combination of pink and green is always spring-like for me, I have such a card to show you today, in order to evoke this spring. Colors, tulle, ribbon, gingham, lace and a lot of fun in creating compositions from cut-outs (here I used Amazing Paper Grace "Sweet Rondure" S5-446 from Stained Glass Bouquet collection and "Picot Petite Rectangles" S5-434 as a background lace.

Witraż z latarnią morską

Najnowsza kolekcja wykrojników Amazing Paper Grace jest inspirowana witrażami – szczególnie zestaw do wycinania ramek Wistful Window S6-171 przypomina secesyjne witraże. Oprawiłam tymi ramkami ulubiony obiekt – latarnię morską :) Kolory są nietypowe dla witraży, ale za to 100% marynistyczne. 

 

Amazing Paper Grace’s newest die-cut collection is inspired by stained glass – especially the Wistful Window S6-171 frame cutting set reminds of Art Nouveau stained glass. I framed my favorite object – a lighthouse :) The colors are unusual for stained glass, but 100% nautical. 

Interaktywna kartka ślubna–wow!

Do wykonania tej kartki sięgnęłam po eleganckie papiery w kolorach bladego różu, szarości i kremu, a napisy, Parę Młodą i ornamentową ramkę wycięłam ze srebrnego, lustrzanego kartonu. W ruch poszły wykrojniki Amazing Paper Grace z kolekcjji “Make a Scene” oraz zestaw do wykonania ślubnej scenki wewnątrz, czyli “Wedded Bliss Scene”.

Wnętrze kartki składa się z różnych warstw – w tej ślubnej wersji jest tło z napisem “Mąż i Żona”, altanka i Para Młoda.

Rzut kartki z góry – widać wszystkie warstwy tworzące przestrzenną scenkę:

A po zsunięciu boczków – składa się całkiem na płasko i może być wysłana w kopercie! Naprawdę, przestrzenna kartka wykonana z kolekcji “Make A Scene”, to gwarantowana niespodzianka dla obdarowanej osoby :)

Interaktywna kartka urodzinowa

Zbliżają się urodziny mojego siostrzeńca Janka, więc przygotowałam dla niego interaktywną kartkę. Wiem, że bardzo podobała mu się kartka-teatrzyk z domkiem, którą zrobiłam jakiś czas temu, więc teraz dostanie taką specjalną na okazję urodzin :)

Przestrzenna scenka w środku składa się z 3 warstw – tortu, baloników i napisu “Happy Birthday”, i pokazuje się po rozsunięciu dwóch paneli na boki.

Do wykonania kartki użyłam zestawu wykrojników Amazing Paper Grace do tworzenia bazy interaktywnej S6-165, zestawu “Celebration Scene” S-5-440 i z zewnątrz ozdobiłam ornamentem z zestawu “Scallop Façade Frame” S6-168.

My nephew Janek’s birthday is coming up, so I prepared an interactive card for him. I know that he really liked the interactive house card I made some time ago, so now he’ll get a special one for his birthday :)

The 3D scene in the middle consists of 3 layers – a birthday cake, balloons and the caption "Happy Birthday", and it shows when you pull the two panels apart on the sides.

To make this card I used die set by  Amazing Paper Grace – interactive base card S6-165, die set “Celebration Scene” S-5-440 and embellished on the outside with the ornament from die set  “Scallop Façade Frame” S6-168.

 

 

  

Amazing Paper Grace March Die of the Month Blog Hop – Mini 3D Vignette Floral Mason Jar

 

–

It doesn’t take many steps past February to begin to ache for the stirrings of spring.  Blooming flowers are the earliest sign and we have something to get you started.  Today I’m introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for March 2021, Mini 3D Vignette Floral Mason Jar.

Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace sent me these lovely dies to create with.

 

Imagine kicking rocks as you walk down a sweet rural road, on one of the first days the weather hints that the seasons are starting to change.  You pick wildflowers and rush home to put them into a jar of water to keep them perky for the days to come.  This is the inspiration that struck Becca when she put together the flower and mason jar combination.  It’s so cute and sweet!!

This easy to assemble mason jar can contain anything, but today it holds layered flowers.  This flat side look is just like a real bouquet.  Glue them or layer them with foam tape to make a dramatic statement.  The mason jar can be left solid or cut like a frame for a shaker card the stems are simply threaded through each lid to secure them for arrangement.  If you’re partial to flat cards, use the filigree band with two brads to hold your stems! This makes a lovely card front bouquet, complete with stems.

There are 16 dies included in the Mini 3D Vignette Floral Mason Jar

Introducing the Amazing Paper Grace | Make A Scene Collection

 

Hi crafty friends!  It seems like we have been waiting for months for February to roll around.  We have been working in the background, holding our breath, tapping our feet and waiting on tippie toes to show you a new collection!  Ta-dah!!!  Today we are introducing a new Amazing Paper Grace Collection called Make A Scene!!!  It was designed by Becca Feeken and is available at Spellbinders.  Stay tuned for a video link at the bottom of the post.

 

NOW, TO EXPLAIN THIS TO YOU . . . 

In the past, Becca has created several interactive collections . . remember 3D Vignettes and remember Shadowbox Vignettes?  One of the things Becca does, is she tries to create a new twist on interactive that you can also use with flat cards and with past collections. That means new material for your old material.

WHAT IS MAKE A SCENE?

 

Make A Scene is an interactive card collection and a flat card collection, all in one – you choose based on your style.

 

The interactive portion is made with a card base that folds in six different layered scenery options.  The 3D card base folds flat but slides open to reveal a dimensional scene.  Since it has a 3D profile, the opened card makes quite a splash and can be set out on a desk for showing off.  The card base is huge and it offers you the chance to snag one of six scenes that cover many occasions.  If the six scenes are not your occasion du jour, then by all means dive into your huge stash of dies and insert your own contents.

 

The flat card portion is made with the individual scenes.  Each of the components for the scenes can be cut onto the top of a panel and used on a flat card or as part of a 3D Vignette or as part of a shadowbox scene.

 

Today we are prepared to show you – each Creative Team Member has created both a 3D Card and a Flat Card so that you can see the best of both worlds!

 

My Projects for Today

 

My interactive “Home Sweet Home” card:

I’m using S6-165 Make a Scene Card Base and S4-1081 Cozy Home.

The closed card looks like this:

This is the back of the card – there is a place for a note:

And here is my second project – I made two simple, house shaped cardlets. Using the patterned scrapbooking paper as a background helped me to create “a scene”.

 

Designers Tip: I used scrapbooking papers to cut out the base and my panels – these papers were sturdy enough and their designs added a lot of depth to my project.
When cutting all the elements, I used a magnetic cutting mat, which is a life saver! You don’t have to tape dies to papers, because they are firmly hold by the mat while rolling them through a diecutting machine.

 

How to Assemble:

 

When you see the card base it will make total sense how this goes together.  Here is a quick start video to lay it all out for you.

Tell me, which scene is calling your name?

Kartka jak malowana / Faux painted card

Mam dziś do zaprezentowania kolorową kartkę z papierowym kwiatem. Wykorzystałam papiery do scrapbookingu jako tło oraz jako płatki. Żeby dodać więcej objętości kwiatu, zmoczyłam płatki i pogniotłam je.

Today I have to present a colorful card with a paper flower. I used scrapbooking papers as a background and for petals. To add more dimension to the flower, I wet the petals and crumpled them.

 

 

Do wykonania kwiatu użyłam poniższego zestawu wykrojników.

To make the flower I used the die set below.

 

Shapeabilities Sweet Cottage Flowers Etched Dies 3D Vignette Mini Album Collection by Becca Feeken S4-1025

 

 

 

 

 

Wykorzystałam również ornament z przepięknego zestawu Bella Diamante, który jest zestawem miesiąca w subskrypcji Amazing Paper Grace Die of The Month na luty oraz prostokąt-serwetkę z kolekcji Picot Petite (Rectangles).

Amazing Paper Grace February Die of the Month Blog Hop – Bella Diamante

This month’s Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month is an elegant tall card with a diamond motif as a focal point.  It’s a new shape to the line-up and today I’m introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for February 2021, Bella Diamante.

Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace sent me these stunning dies to create with.

Becca says a book cover with four elegant corners inspired her, she thought it was a dreamy and dramatic way to showcase a frame.  Bella Diamante is a 5 x 7 card front, with several element layers and rims to use as inlays.  These multiple rims and elements will allow for both A2 and A7 cards.  Elegance reigns supreme with the ability to create shaped cards,  framed cards, or simply embellish with class.

There are 7 dies included in the Bella Diamante

My Project Today using Bella Diamante

With this Die Of The Month I created a scrapbooking layout featuring my dog’s favorite toy, that he got for Christmas. I used paper die cuts in colors matching my background papers and cut them into smaller pieces to use them as embellishments.

My second project is a super fast card. I used the biggest die to cut out the card base, which is so easy and looks fabulous, then embellished it with one ornate cut out and 3 flowers. Thanks to patterned papers I didn’t have to put much on it and it literally took me 10 minutes to create it. I love this dies set!

Supplies:

Paper: AB Studio scrapbookig paper, Mintay Papers scrapbooking papers, white, black and pink cardstock
Accessories: Amazing Paper Grace February 2021 Die of the Month – Bella Diamante, adhesive letters by Heidi Swapp, glittered heart from Thickers Valentine’s set.

Kartka urodzinowa z matowymi złoceniami

 

Wyjątkowo efektowne wzory można wykonać płytką do złoceń z kolekcji Delicate Imperssions – Fanfare Border używając folii w kolorze matowego złota. W połączeniu z urodzinowymi, kolorowymi papierami do scrapbookingu, wyszło bardzo odświętnie :)

Exceptionally impressive designs can be made with the Delicate Impersions – Fanfare Border hot stamping plate using matte gold foil. Combined with colorful birthday papers for scrapbooking, it came out very festive :)

 

Do wykonania kartki wykorzystałam zestaw płytek / To make this card I used foililng plates:

Fanfare Border Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Delicate Impressions Collection GLP-238

Walentynki 2021– efektowne kartki

 

Pierwsze Walentynki w tym roku wykonałam przy użyciu dużego wykrojnika, który był wykrojnikiem miesiąca we wrześniu 2020 (i jest jeszcze w sprzedaży). Z uwagi na słuszne rozmiary, można go wykorzystać do wycięcia bazy, a ornamenty z zestawu pasują do niej idealnie kształtem.

I made my first Valentine cards this year using the large die that was the Die of the Month in September 2020 (and is still on sale). Because it’s just the right size, you can use it to cut out the card base, and the ornaments from the kit fit it perfectly in shape.

Ponieważ okazja jest miłosna, to na moich kartkach króluje czerwień i róż, słodkie wyznania i dużo kwiatków wyciętych wykrojnikami Cinch and Go IV.

Because the occasion is a love one, my cards are dominated by reds and pinks, sweet confessions and lots of flowers cut out with the Cinch and Go IV die-cutting dies.

Wykrojniki, których użyłam do wykonania moich kartek walentynkowych:

I used these dies to make my Valentine’s cards:

Remember the days in grade school when you dreamed of all the little envelopes you would collect in your pouch from Valentine’s Day?  Well, we gotcha covered! Today I am introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for January 2021, the Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox.

Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace sent me these wonderful dies to create with.

Sweet hearts and petite envelopes are a symbol of love.  The Amazing Paper Grace Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox harkens back to the days where you thought that the number of envelopes measured how loved you were.  No worries, this elegant mailbox holds a bouquet of enveloped surprises and is a clever way to hide some cute little messages.  Oh, and the front of the mailbox opens!  Becca uses the inspiration from a vintage mailbox as the basis for this elegant representation where romantic and cute go hand in hand.

Don’t worry if you don’t have a sweetheart this year.  After the holiday, this set can be used as a blue mailbox.  Did you notice it is a mini-sized 3D Vignette?! Built just like the grand sized vignettes that came before it, this little mini stands 4.75-inches tall and folds flat for mailing to your sweetheart!

There are 17 dies included in the Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox

My Project Today using Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox

Using this lovely set of dies I made a 3-panel cascade card. There is a mailbox on the middle panel, containing 4 small cards (for secret messages), with handles embellished with hearts. The upper edges of panels are embellished with cut out small hearts too.

My second project is a box (as a gift packaging) for a specialty tea. I used patterened scrapbooking papers to cut the basic shapes and make it pretty.

Designer Tip: Small heart dies are of the same shape but different size – you can easily layer them for a more interesting effect.

Supplies: glue, double-sided tape, gems, 3D adhesive squares;
Paper: Mintay Papers (different collections), AB Studio paper;  golden metallic cardstock, regular cardstock;
Accessories: Amazing Paper Grace January 2021 Die of the Month – Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox

Thank You card ze złoceniami

Kartka z podziękowaniami, którą wykonałam przy użyciu płytek do złoceń Filigree Crescent Band Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken GLP-239, w maszynce Glimmer Hot Foil System, folią w kolorze różowego złota. Papierowe kwiatki i listki wycięłam wykrojnikami Shapeabilities Cinch and Go IV Etched Dies Shadowbox by Becca Feeken S4-982 i nadałam im kształt dłutkiem do embossingu.

Paper flowers and leaves are cut with Shapeabilities Cinch and Go IV Etched Dies Shadowbox by Becca Feeken S4-982 and then I shaped them with embossing stylus.

Kartki na Boże Narodzenie 2020 ze śnieżynkami

 

A ja kontynuuję tworzenie kartek świątecznych, bo po prostu to uwielbiam :) Wysłać też, z ręcznie wypisanymi życzeniami! Tym razem pokazuję kartki w kolorystyce czerwono-brązowo-beżowej. Całą ich ozdobą są koronkowe wycinanki śnieżynki w różnych stylach, wycięte wykrojnikami Amazing Paper Grace (tu w użyciu zestaw Snowflake Splendor S5-429)  Żeby kartki były jeszcze bardziej świąteczne, dodałam poinsecje wycięte zestawem Cinch and Go S4-960.

And I continue to create Christmas cards, because I just love it :) Also sending, with handwritten wishes! This time I show cards in red-brown-beige color. They look all decorated with lace snowflake cut-outs in different styles, cut out with Amazing Paper Grace metal dies (here in use Snowflake Splendor S5-429 set) To make the cards even more festive, I added poinsettias cut out with Cinch and Go S4-960 set.

 

 

 

Boże Narodzenie 2020–kartki przytulne

Tak mi się skojarzyły przytulnie te motywy – pomarańcze i cynamon, kakao z piankami, dzwoneczki, wianek świąteczny, ptaszki i poinsecje. Napisy oraz serwetkowe tła wycięłam wykrojnikami Amazing Paper Grace:

Picot Petite Cirles S5-431

Picot Petite Squares S5-432

Snowflake Splendor S5-429

 

Here is how I got this idea of coziness – oranges and cinnamon, cocoa with foams, bells, Christmas wreath, birds and poinsettias. I cut out the lacey backgrounds and sentiments using Amazing Paper Grace dies:

Picot Petite Cirles S5-431

Picot Petite Squares S5-432

Snowflake Splendor S5-429

Kartka z piernikową chatką–Boże Narodzenie 2020

 

Boże Narodzenie na słodko! Główne kolory to miętowy i różowy, a świątecznym motywem jak pierniczkowa chatka wycięta z papieru scrapbookingowego. Na kartce stworzyłam kilka warstw wykorzystując wykrojniki Amazing Paper Grace z dwóch kolekcji: Picot Petite (Rectangles) S5-434 and Nested Clipped Squares S4-1069. A napis “Wesołych Świąt” pochodzi z wykrojnika Rosy Owl.

Sweet Christmas! The main colors are mint and pink, and the Christmas theme is a gingerbread house cut out of scrapbooking paper. On the card I created several layers of paper using Amazing Paper Grace dies from collections: Picot Petite (Rectangles) S5-434 and Nested Clipped Squares S4-1069. And the sentiment "Merry Christmas" comes from Rosy Owl die.

Rustykalne kartki–Boże Narodzenie 2020

 

Dzisiaj przedstawiam kartki w stylu trochę rustykalnym, trochę skandynawskim. Powstały z wykorzystaniem efektownych wykrojników- napisów od Amazing Paper Grace, które dla mnie okazały się ogromnie inspirujące! Pasują mi idealnie do stylu papierów Carta Bella.

 

Today I present cards in a slightly rustic, slightly Scandinavian style. They were created with the use of great dies – word art from Amazing Paper Grace, which turned out to be very inspiring for me! They match perfectly the style of Carta Bell papers.

Wspomniany przeze mnie zestaw to Holiday Word Blocks Etched Dies Christmas Cascade Collection by Becca Feeken S5-430 

 

Kartka dla mojej pięknej przyjaciółki :)

Ten piękny efekt, jaki dają srebrne wzory naniesione na papier, jest naprawdę trudny do sfotografowania. A ta płytka, o nazwie “Sweet Blooms”, jest po prostu zachwycająca. Ja wykorzystałam ją trochę inaczej – wycinając pojedyncze kwiaty i tworząc kompozycję opartą na kształcie koła. Dzięki pastelowo kolorowym papierom tła, całość dała świeży, radosny efekt :)

This beautiful effect of silver patterns on paper is really difficult to photograph. And this tile, called "Sweet Blooms", is simply stunning. I used it a little differently – cutting out single flowers and creating a composition based on a circle shape. Thanks to pastel-colored background papers, the whole gave a fresh, joyful effect :)

Napis na kartce jest również foliowany i znaczy “Dla mojej pięknej przyjaciółki/przyjaciela”.

The sentiment on the card is also foiled.

Do wykonania kartki użyłam następujących wykrojników i płytek Amazing Paper Grace:

I used the following Amazing Paper Grace dies and plates to make the card:

Sweet Blooms Border Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken

Heart Melt Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set from Delicate Impressions Collection

Picot Petite Circles Etched Dies Picot Petite Collection from Amazing Paper Grace by Becca Feeken

Złocone romby–duża kartka z efektownym tłem

 

 

To jest duża kartka, w porównaniu do tych, które zwykle tworzę – ma prawie 16×16 cm i postanowiłam na niej wyeksponować możliwości płytki do nakładania złoceń Diamonetta Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken GLP-240. Ta płytka jest zaprojektowana w ten sposób, że można kontynuować wzór, co pozwala na pokrycie większych powierzchni. A same romby są tak efektowne, że “robią” całą pracę :)

Serce z napisami jest wycięte z papieru scrapbookingowego i dopasowałam kolor folii tła kartki do tego na sercu. Żeby ożywić dużą ciemną powierzchnię, dodałam kolorowe wycinanki – są to pozostałości po moich pracach wykonanych w ramach projektu Upcyckled Grace, który prowadzę w grupie inspiracyjnej na Facebooku: Amazing Paper Grace – Creative Encouragement Community. Obok nich znalazły się kwiatuszki z wcześniejszej kolekcji APG Candlewick Sampler Grand Poclet S4-1022.

Tak wygląda wykorzystana przeze mnie płytka do tworzenia tła, możecie ją też zobaczyć na zdjęciach mojej kartki jak wygląda bez opakowania:
