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.

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!

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).
***My creations were created today with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.***
There are 14 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette What’s Bakin’ Oven.
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!

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***
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

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:

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”.
Zestaw wykrojników, z którym pracowałam, można znaleźć tutaj:

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

Nie wysyłaj SMSa, wyślij karteczkę! Na pewno ucieszy bardziej… W zabieganej rzeczywostości, gdy najceniejszym, co możemy sobie podarować jest nasz czas, ręcznie wykonane kartki są prawdziwym skarbem. Moje karteczki są nieduże, mają 10x10cm i wykonałam je z kolekcją wykrojników Sweet Serenade Scalloped Symphony Notecard. Jest w niej wszystko co potrzebne do wycięcia i zbigowania bazy oraz ozdobnych elementów. Dodatkowo w kolekcji znajduje się zestaw stempelków z fajnymi napisami.

Today’s projects were created with dies provided by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace.
Here is my project: a box with decorated lid containing a set of 4 notecards in fancy shapes, with handmade envies.
Designers Tip: I snipped the bigger die cut into smaller parts and used it on smaller notecards – even a tiny fragment adds a lovely touch. Also, as you can see on my cards – I cut out flowers out of a patterned scrapbooking papers and I love the outcome! :)

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:
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:
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:
Kartki z okazji Bożego Narodzenia będą w tym roku u mnie najczęściej z wycinankami z właśnie tej kolekcji – Holiday Medley. Tyle uroczego, świątecznego dobra w niej drzemie! Dzisiaj prezentuję dwie kartki wykonane z użyciem jednego zestawu wykrojników Joy Crescent Card Builder Etched Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection by Becca Feeken S5-466 – ma i “serwetkowe”, trochę folkowe pół-tło, i ornament z napisem “Joy to the World”, i ażurową poinsecję. Czyli dużo możliwości i można tworzyć w różnych stylach :)
My Christmas cards this year will mostly be with cut-outs from this very collection – Holiday Medley. So much lovely, festive goodness in it! Today I’m presenting two cards made using one set of Joy Crescent Card Builder Etched Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection by Becca Feeken S5-466 – it has a "doily", little bit folky half-background, and ornament with the words "Joy to the World", and openwork poinsettia. So lots of possibilities and you can create in different styles :)
Cha-ching! Is there any living person that hasn’t absolutely been intrigued by a Cash Register and all of its compartments and treasure it holds inside?

The light-hearted, pun-filled sentiments are perfect for any occasion, to send this 3D Fold Flat card. Want to let someone know how valuable they are to you?

It’s so cute, there’s even a front drawer where you can actually fold and put in some currency.
Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:
1. Make the traditional cash register and stock it with gift cards

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:
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:

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
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.

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.

Kolejny zestaw z kolekcji płytek do nakładania folii na gorąco Sweet Cardlets II toYou 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 :)
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
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.
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.
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.
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 :)
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.
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.
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

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.
