Klasyczne Święta–kartka z dzwonkami

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

W tej pracy wykorzystałam następujące zestawy wykrojników:

Silver Bells Dimensional Doily Etched Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection

Happy Anniversary Vignette Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes

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

Kartki na Boże Narodzenie 2021

 

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

Do wykonania kartek wykorzystałam następujące wykrojniki od Amazing Paper Grace:

Merry Filigree Card Builder Etched Dies from the Holiday Medley Collection

Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

 

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

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:

Spooky Boo Etched Dies Halloween Collection by Becca Feeken

Spooky Cottage Etched Dies Halloween Collection by Becca Feeken

Picot Petite Rectangles

Wistful Window Etched Dies from Stained Glass Bouquet Collection by Becca Feeken

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.

Home Sweet Home – Pop Up 3D Vignette

It’s so true that all paths lead home.  It’s during this long stint with the pandemic that many of us have come to realize that it doesn’t matter where you are; it’s the people you are with.  That’s the inspiration that fed into the creation of the July 2021 Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month, Pop Up 3D Vignette Home Sweet Home.  The sentiment that comes within the set says it all – You are My Home.

There’s just something so quaint and sweet about little houses.  They mean so much to us – a place of safety, a place of comfort, a place of love.  It’s only fitting that one should show up as a Mini Vignette!  This card folds flat to fit into an envelope to be sent through the mail.  It beckons you to insert your favorite pictures, a multipage note or sweet nothings on the three panels that rest inside.

Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:
1.  A mini scrapbook album
2.  A table centerpiece with a house on each side
3.  Separate the small house facade and use it on a card, a scrapbook layout, and beyond!

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

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:

Bless Your Heart Vignette Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken S5-459:

Petite Floral Potpourri Etched Dies from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken S3-420:

Beautiful Inside and Out Sentiments Clear Stamp from Beautiful Sentiment Vignettes Collection by Becca Feeken STP-058:

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.

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.

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.

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.

Amazing Paper Grace January Die of the Month Blog Hop – Mini 3D Vignette Valentines Mailbox

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

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:

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.

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:

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:

Introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Delicate Impressions Collection

Delicate Impressions Details

We’re excited to introduce another Glimmer Hot Foil collection! The Delicate Impressions Collection has five sets of Glimmer Hot Foil Plates. The fifth set, Heart Melt Sentiments, has four unique phrases with matching dies. The other four sets are designed to create borders and accents that can be used on cards from A2 to 5 x 7-inches. Each elegant motif can be layered with itself or mix with others in the same collection or beyond.

Glimmer Hot Foil Plates are metal plates used in the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System to transfer foil to paper through a combination of heat and pressure.  Roll the Glimmer machine base through your die cut machine to deliver its beautiful design. Refer to Compatibility Charts on Spellbinders’ website, to see if your machine is a match.

Our Creative Team members will showcase their creations made with the Delicate Impressions Collection today. For those of you who enjoy watercolors, we are using Jane Davenport Watercolors to highlight our projects. See if you can identify what techniques are being used!

Becca Feeken sent over these stunning plates and dies for me to try.

Each of our Creative Team members will show you their take on cards made with a Collection.

My Projects For Today

First up is Diamonetta Background Glimmer Hot Foil Plate from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken GLP-240. On my card I used this gorgeous plate to create a bacground on the dark metallic cardstock and the effect is stunning!  With such a statement I didn’t want to overwhelm the card so I decided for simple and delicate embellishments. This beautiful sentence is made with Heart Melt Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set from Delicate Impressions Collection by Becca Feeken GLP-218 and there is also a watercolor background created with Watercolors Set Brights ArtEssentials by Jane Davenport JD-042

Here is what the dies look like: 

Designer Tip:  The Heart Melts Setiments plates come with coordinating dies, but I decided to use other Amazing Paper Grace die to cut out my sentiment and I’m very happy how it turned out.

My second project is this upcyckled glass jar that I turned into a tealight candle holder. I used the Diamonetta plate with silver foil on vellum and it created this lovely and delicate effect.

Elegancko z łabędziem–kartka dla Amazing Paper Grace

 

To kolejna kartka z zestawem do nakładania metalicznej folii na gorąco “Graceful Swan” z kolekcji Sweet Cardlets od Amazing Paper Grace. Możliwości wykorzystania go do tworzenia kartek, bilecików itp.  są ogromne i z radością je odkrywam :D Tym razem tło ze srebrnym ornamentem pomalowałam farbkami akwarelowymi Jane Davenport uzyskując rozmyty malarski efekt.

 

Srebrny łabędź na biały tle wygląda naprawdę uroczo, a wyrkojnik dołączony do zestawu pozwala go precyzyjnie wyciąć i zachować elegancki charakter. Do tego romantycznego zestawu dodałam różowy tiul i ramkę wyciętą owalnym wykrojnikiem Picot Petite Ovals, także od Amazing Paper Grace.

Amazing Paper Grace November Die of the Month Blog Hop – Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

 

 

If you haven’t already jumped into Christmas preparations, are you ready to sleigh it?  Today we are sharing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for November 2020 – Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh.  This one is a little bit different because it folds down flat for mailing as do all the dies in the 3D Vignette lines.

 

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

 

Poinsettia Sleigh Details

 

This die can be used as flat detail on a 2D surface but transforms into a 3D show piece so easily that we’re happy you will have both options.  Becca traditionally creates a high end die that doubles as a decoration piece in November of each year.  Let’s just call it icing on the cake for the holidays.  It’s really a satisfying venture to grab a cup of coffee and sit down to put it together as it is to set it out on the table.

Today we want to inspire you to think of different combinations using the Poinsettia Sleigh.  Here’s what we had in mind:

 

Table Center Piece Table Setting Favor Filled with Candy and Goodies Part of a Wonderland Menagerie Flat 2D on the front of a card

   

In the comments let us know how you think it should be used.

There are 21 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

 

 

My Project Today using the Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

I made a set of a sleigh with poinsettias and a wreath card, in a bit rustical style. I love how the natural colors of kraft and red cardstock look together, giving the lovely effect.I also used these great poinsettia dies to make flowers for a wreath card.

Designer Tip:  I used an embossing stylus to “unflatten” the paper diecuts and give my poinsettias more natural look

Supplies: silver microbeads, embossing stylus, white gems
Stamps:  Agateria “Wesołych Świąt”
Paper: Piatek13 “Four Season: Winter” paper pad, red and kraft cardstock, Coredinations cardstock
Ink: Latarnia Morska “Dark Chocolate”
Accessories:  Amazing Paper Grace November 2020 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Poinsettia Sleigh

P.S. 

In the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Encouragement Facebook Group there are two Step-by-Step Tutorials that take a novice through creating some spectacular poinsettias.  I hope you’ll join the group so that you have both of those methods in your toolbox.  They’ll come in handy this Christmas Season.

 

You can also view the 6.5 minute Youtube on the Poinsettia Sleigh Assembly.

Kartki z łabędziami- Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cardlets

 

 

Wciągam się w “foliowanie”, czyli nakładanie folii metalicznych na papier, na gorąco. Efekty są naprawdę śliczne – dzisiaj prezentuję dwie kartki, na których są różne elementy wykonane przy pomocy płytek do nakładania folii oraz maszynki Glimmer Hot Foil System od Spellbinders.

Tym razem na tapet wzięłam te śliczności od Amazing Paper Grace z łabędziami <3 Płytki z łąbędziami, napisami i pięknym tłem, są w zestawie z wykrojnikiem, który umożliwia ładne wycięcie łabędzia.

Graceful Swan Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set Sweet Cardlets by Becca Feeken GLP-236

 

Robiłam różne eksperymenty z kolorami kartonów i folii – wyjątkowo efektownie wygląda folia przezroczysta z efektem opal, nałożona na metalicznie mieniący się jasny karton. Tylko ten efekt jest bardzo trudny do pokazania na zdjęciach.

Introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cardlets Collection

What’s a Cardlet, pray tell?  A Cardlet is a small motif, complete with background, sentiment and character that combine to make small card or layers onto a larger card.  We’re delighted to introduce you to the Sweet Cardlets Collection.

Becca Feeken sent over these lovely dies and watercolors for me to try.

Sweet Cardlets show up in a Glimmer format with a matching die.   They are metal plates that are 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.  As long as you have a machine that can accommodate thick dies – like steel rule dies, you’re all set. A word to the wise, it is very addicting. 

The Inspiration behind Sweet Cardlets

We gotta fess up here.  There’s no such word as cardlets, yep, Becca straight up made it up.  You have to agree though, it sounds really cute, right?  Well that was the inspiration behind sweet cardlets.  As you can imagine it has something to do with cards and moreover, little cards. 

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.  Each has a background, a main character and several sentiments. 

We found it the right size to fit on an A2 card and even to layer onto an A7 card.  In fact, the 3" background can be repeated for a long background or a larger background.  Dies cut out each main character and three sentiments with each set give you lots of options.

Each of our Creative Team members will show you their take on cards made with the Sweet Cardlets Collection.  Today we’re all using Jane Davenport Watercolors in some technique to show off Sweet Cardlets.

 Just Bee-cause Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set Sweet Cardlets by Becca Feeken GLP-237

Heart Felt Sentiments Glimmer Hot Foil Plate & Die Set Sweet Cardlets by Becca Feeken GLP-219

So I made a cardlet <3 I used the background plate to foil these lovely hexagons on cardstock (with opal, clear foil) and then painted them with watercolors. Oh, it was fun! I really like the cheerful outcome. The bee and the sentence were foiled with rosy-gold foil, to make them pop off the background. This is the essence of “sweet cardlet” for me – small, easy to make and cute.

My second project is a small tag, with a background made the same way, as on my cardlet, I just used other combination of colors. I love the artsy look of watercolors in this project!

Designer Tip:  Try to use different foil colors in one project – it adds a lot of an interest to it.

 

Here is the Spellbinders video showing amazing new samples as well as a walkthrough of the entire collection.

Bling, bling! I <3 Picot Petite

 

 

 

“Dużo diamentów” – metoda dekoracji uskuteczniana przez mojego siostrzeńca Janka :) Tu właśnie, na tej kartce została wykorzystana. Kartkę zrobiłam przy użyciu prostokątych wykrojników serwetkowych Amazing Paper Grace z kolekcji Picot Petite S5-434. Bardzo nietypowo, bo wycinanki są poukładane w tle, oprócz głównego elementu, który także jest zrobiony tym samym wykrojnikiem.

Róż i mięta, na Święta! Bożego Narodzenia

 

Kolory, jak na Boże Narodzenie, są na tej kartce zupełnie nietypowe :) Różowy i miętowy – a do tego słodka piernikowa chatka.

Cała kompozycja to po prostu warstwy wycięte wykrojnikami z kolekcji Amazing Paper Grace “Picot Petite” – Bed of Lace i Ovals. To nie są “świąteczne” wykrojniki, ale wzory są tak ładne i uniwersalne, że pasują mi wszędzie

Kartka na Boże Narodzenie z wykrojnikami APG Picot Petite

Tym razem wzięłam na warsztat okrągłe serwetki z Amazing Paper Grace Picot Petite Collection. To bardzo wdzięczny wzorek, inspirowany szydełkowymi pikotkami. Serwetki można wyciąć z dziurą w środku lub bez – u mnie wersja z dziurą. Ozdobny brzeżek wycięłam także wykrojnikiem z tej kolekcji, ale tym razem prostokątnym. Świąteczny charakter kartki stworzyły kolory, piernikowa chatka i białe poinsecje.

Uroki jesieni z Picot Petite Collection–Squares

 

Całe szczęście, że na świecie są październiki! Nareszcie rozpoczęła się piękna, złota jesień. Taką jesień zamknęłam na swojej kartce, którą wykonałam z wykorzystaniem ślicznych “serwetek” od Amazing Paper Grace. Wykrojniki pochodzą z kolekcji Picot Petite i u mnie są to głównie te piękne kwadraty (“Squares S5-432”), w różnej konfiguracji.

Mam nadzieję, że takie kolory jak na mojej kartce, wkrótce zaobserwuję za oknem :)

 

We are lucky to have Octobers! My card was created using lovely dies by Amazing Paper Grace “Picot Petite Collection” – mostly I used this beautiful Squares S5-432

Boże Narodzenie 2020 elegancko

 

Tym razem zrobiłam kartkę dużą, 15×15 cm, i bardzo elegancką. Wykrojnikowe wycinanki są złote i czerwone, a papiery w tle brokatowe i z fakturą, dlatego nie przesadzałam z ich ilością. Użyte do wycięcia papieru wykrojniki projektu Bekki Feeken są inspirowane haftami, ale u mnie występują w innej roli. Kolekcja “Candlewick Sampler” jest dostępna w Spellbinders :)

 

 

Świąteczna klasyka na Boże Narodzenie zawsze się sprawdza! Połączenie czerwonego z zielonym i złotymi akcentami, to świąteczna esencja, która zachwyca szczególnie tradycjonalistów. Kartkę udekorowałam mało przestrzennie – z takim właśnie zamysłem, ponieważ wysyłam kartki pocztą i chcę żeby zmieściły się do kopety, a potem do skrzynki adresata.

Boże Narodzenie na słodko– z Picot Petite od Amazing Paper Grace!

 

 

 

Tym razem świątecznie postawiłam na słodkości! Zapałałam miłością do najnowszej kolekcji wykrojników do papieru marki Amazing Paper Grace “Picot Petite” – są inspirowane… szydełkowymi pikotkami :) I moim zdaniem są fantastycznie uniwersalne – można wykorzystać je do prac w klimatach kuchenno-przytulnych, ale także bardzo eleganckich, a wręcz wytwornych. Kolekcja jest do nabycia w Spellbinders.

 

Na kartce wykorzystałam wszystkie 3 owale z ozdobnym brzegiem – ten największy jest duży, tak duży, że nie mieści się na kartkę A6 i dlatego umieściłam go w poziomie, częściowo obcinając mu boczki. Tak, tak – cięcia wycinanek wykrojnikowych nie należy się bać! :)

New collection from Amazing Paper Grace–Picot Petite!

 

 

W rodzinie wykrojników do papieru marki Amazing Paper Grace pojawiło się właśnie kolejne cudo – kolekcja “Picot Petite”, inspirowana szydełkowymi pikotkami! Kolekcja składa się z 4 podstawowych kształtów serwetkowych (owale, koła, kwadraty i prostokąty) oraz dwóch zestawów pięknych, wszechstronnych wykrojników “ażurkowych”. Można nimi wycinać dziurki w tłach, ale i ornamenty – tak ja ja zrobiłam to na prezentowanej kartce.

 

 

 

Poniżej można zobaczyć co wchodzi w skład użytego przeze mnie zestawu – Becca Feeken tak projektuje wykrojniki, że dają one wiele możliwości “kombinowania”.

Całą kolekcję można zobaczyć i kupić w Spellbinders: Picot Petite.

 

Inspiracją do zrobienia tej kartki były zakupy ;) Nowa, jesienna kolekcja papierów od P13 zachwyciła mnie kolorami! I od razu wyobraziłam sobie jak pięknie mogą wyglądać pomarańcze zestawione ze śliwkami… w wydaniu ażurowym.
