***My creations were created today with dies provided by Amazing Paper Grace.***
There are 15 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Watering Can Bouquet.
The 3D watering can is just adorable, and what I’m always amazed by with the Pop Up dies from Amazing Grace Paper is that you can fold the ready piece flat so that it fits in an envelope and can be mailed. How cool is that? And this watering can also has embossed elements that give it a retro vibe – I inked these areas with dark ink to give them a striking patina.

*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

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!

Elegance is our go-to style at Amazing Paper Grace. We are always on the hunt for those elegant elements that you can add to a card that gives it just the right feel and appeal. This month we’re head over heels for a year around a cascade of tendrils that can be snipped here and there to be used for top and bottom card decoration. Say welcome to the Amazing Paper Grace October 2021 Die of the Month – Flourished Fleurit.
The inspiration for Flourished Fleurit comes from looking through our stashes for just the right Rectangle or just the right Square. Guess what – Flourished Fleurit can be both. A snip here or a snip there puts give is just the right proportion to be a rectangle or a square. We cleverly added in sprigs of flowers so that you can cover your transitions. Hunting for elegant corners for a slimline – look no further. A slip or two has you covered.
Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create:
1. Snip between all four corners for slimline decoration 2. Snip between the connecting rod and cinch for a square 3. Cut as a rectangle for a beautiful A7 layout with many options.
**Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.**
There are 9 dies included in the Flourished Fleurit.
My Project Today using Flourished Fleurit.
I love the festive feel of this die set so I made a big Christmas card and a gift card holder in matching design. I used gold-mirror cardstock for these open scrollwork and it turned out just gorgeous.
Designer Tip: The biggest die has a fancy shape that is really great for making a card base, I created a gift card folder by folding the cardstock die cut in a half.

Would love to hear from you! Comment on how will you use the dies!
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? As kids, it’s one of the first grown up toys we played with. The sound of a cash register ringing means prosperity and so many good things. Say welcome to the Amazing Paper Grace September 2021 Die of the Month – Pop Up 3D Vignette Vintage Cash Register.
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? Then the "Priceless" sentiment will say that loud and clear. Want to express your opinion? Then actually you’re looking for the "Just My .02" sentiment. 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
2. Make a basket from both facades for donations or as a friendly tip jar
3. Are you in the middle of a fundraiser? Use it as a table favor to break the ice.
4. Create a mini album with a cash register on the front and back for kids to record their savings
Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.
There are 16 dies included in the Pop Up 3D Vignette Vintage Cash Register.
My Project Today using Pop Up 3D Vignette Vintage Cash Register.
I couldn’t resist creating a 3D cashier – it’s so pretty and full of details. I didn’t stick to classiccolor combo, but used purple and pink metallic cardstock for feminine look.
Designer Tip: First, cut out using the dies and then be sure to use an embossing mat for the second run – as this dies have some gorgeous details and they emboss just lovely!

It’s a square card front! It’s an envelope! It’s both!! In the transformers world of dies, we love for our dies to be used in many different ways. This die was designed to function as both a card front and for the petals to fold over to enclose a notecard. The pretty lattice filigree is just the icing on top. Welcome to your stash, the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for August 2021 -Lattice Petal Foldover.
You asked and we listened. Our May 2020 Die of the Month was so popular that we made a slightly smaller, dainty version. Becca said that the inspiration for this die set is all about the Note Card. As someone who loves to drop a little notecard into lunch boxes, drop them into packages, and even leaves them on the door for delivery people -this is quick and easy. Die-cut 10 of the lattice petal jackets and 10 of the 3" (or 3×6 for a folded note) notes for inside and you’ll always be ready with a stunning note.
Here are some ideas that will inspire you to create with the foldover elements:
1. A box with the foldover as the lid;
2. Notecards (there is even a closure piece);
3. A sweet, petite basket.
Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.
There are14 dies included in theLattice Petal Foldover.
My Project Today usingLattice Petal Foldover.
As a keepsake of a lovely meeting I made a scrapbook page featuring a photo of my friend and me, and lots of embellishments. Die cuts out of scrapbooking papers allowed me to match perfectly the colors to my work.
Designer Tip:
I cut the cutouts into pieces to use as embellishments on my scrapbook. In the piece shown below, there are 10 pieces that decorate my scrapbook page.

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:

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.

You can tell that around here, we adore spring and the prospect of blooming flowers.This month we invite you to take an idyllic stroll to a place of beauty. It calls and beckons to you, to come and sit down and enjoy your surroundings and all of the nature around you. Today I’m introducing a beautiful new Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month. The way in . . . is through the Garden Gate. Introducing the beautiful new Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for May 2021, Mini 3D Vignette Garden Gate.
Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.
This A7 showpiece folds flat into an envelope, only to expand and sit on a desktop where it invites the lucky recipient to take a stroll through the Garden Gate. As always, this die is meant to break apart and use the dies separately. The elements are less than 4" wide and are begging you to use them on an A2 card. You’ll love the charming details – hinges, a hook lock and a swinging sign to record your message.
Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create a flat card or box:
1. The picket fence for a gatefold card (hint the gate really opens). 2. The Arches for a wedding. 3. The flowers and vines are curved to fit the arch but also make a wreath. 4. A picket fence box and the arches for handles. Inviting you to plan your own garden and know you are in a place of peace and beauty when you come in through the Garden Gate.
My Project Today using Mini 3D Vignette Garden Gate.
I made a 12×12” layout with a photo of me and my new baby friend – Radzio :) This was one of greatest joys during the Covid time and I wanted to document it – this fairy garden gate seemed to be a perfect embellishment to go with a cute photo.
As my second project I made a treat box – if you want to create your own, you just need to glue “bottom” (which is a rectangular piece of cardstock) to the gate and that’s it, you can fill it with candy!
Paper: scrapbooking paper pad“Alice in Wonderland” (Stamperia), plain kraft, white, red cardstock.

This month is coming up all flowers! We turned spring up a notch and have more "unique" blooming flowers for you to try. Today I’m introducing a set of dimensional flowers in the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the month for April 2021, Dahlia Dimensional Doily.
Dies were furnished to Creative Team Members by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace.
Three new flowers. We are showcasing three new flowers! Easy, easier, easiest. Easy – Dahlia Dimensional Doily is a flower made with round disks that link together to form the base and the petals. Built on the same concept as dimensional doilies, this representation of flowers creates a focal element that has some height. Easier – One round piece in the set, with eight cut and folded circles combines to make a familiar round dimensional flower. Easiest – Sweet spiral flowers with a score line that lets you fold over and shape the spiral. Oh, and don’t forget a background that when cut twice gives you a full A2 Background.
All together the background and flowers create a sweet, layered dimensional finished card that can be made for an A2 or an A7 card base!
There are 11 dies included in the Dahlia Dimensional Doily.

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.

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.

Na bazie starej książki, jeszcze jesienią zrobiłam jesienny album z- kolejny z roku 2020 o pandemicznej rzeczywistości. Środkiem albumu podzielę się w kolejnym poście, a dzisiaj pokazuję okładkę. Ozdobiłam ją wycinankami z cudownego zestawu miesiąca Amazing Paper Grace na luty 2021 “Bella Diamante”– wielkość odpowiadała idealnie na okładkę :)
Using an old book as a base, I made a fall album back in the fall – another one from 2020 about pandemic reality. I’ll share the inside of the album in a future post, and today I’m showing the cover. I embellished it with die cuts made with Amazing Paper Grace’s gorgeous February 2021 "Bella Diamante" Die Of The Month– the size was perfect for the cover :)
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.
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!

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.

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!

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.

Today I am introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for December 2020,
Rose Garden Promise.
Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace sent me these beautiful dies to create with.
Becca shares her inspiration for this 5×7-inch frame-worthy card front that resembles the look of stained glass. She says, " ‚God gave us memory so that we might have roses in December,’ a quote by James M Barrie. It is precisely that quote that inspired me to think of roses at the end of the year. It has much to do with the promise of an approaching spring, buds bursting forward, and the gift of hope. As one who loves rituals, I finished off 2019 with a die template that featured roses and decided it was worthwhile to pay them homage at the end of 2020."
Isn’t it only fitting to go forward with hope for the future and for new and worthwhile things that will break through. From the entire Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team, let this be a beautiful end to your year; we hope that through making, it brings with it the bonus of lovely memories.
I bet you can come up with a few, share them in a comment!
There are four (4) dies included in the Rose Garden Promise
My Project Today using Rose Garden Promise
Here is the card (5×7”) and a set of two little notebooks that I created using this die. The big roses are so decorative that I kept the composition and my color choices simple. With the card I went for a bit rustic look with outstanding shiny gold roses. Leaves are additionally painted with a bit of a dark brown watercolor paint.
Designer Tip:
To make the notebooks, I glued golden cardstock diecut on the colorful scrapbooking paper, than scored it in a half to make a cover. White pages inside are stiched to the cover. I love their simple, but elegant look and they are super easy to make!

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:

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
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.

I made the scrapbook page with my adorable nephews, as you can see above. The page documents our photo session on the occasion of buying my new phone and trying out its camera – so the Camera die is the perfect embellishment! I used black and sliver mirror cardstock to mimic the real looking camera and I’m very pleased how it turned out!
My second project is a box for 4×6” photographs. The camera die cut is looks really cute and it’s a great way to embellish a gift box. I used a very similar color combo, as on my scrapbook page, to keep it “real”.
Designer Tip: If you like the “real” look – use black and silver cardstock to assemble this camera. With all the small details it really looks like cameras we used waaaay before our smartphones :)
