Wujek Józio, mój ojciec chrzestny, był największym fanem moich ręcznie robionych kartek. Kolekcjonował je wszystkie, a ja regularnie w każde Święta, najładniejsze kartki słałam do wujka, z odręcznie wypisanymi życzeniami, co również ogromnie cenił. Wujek Józio odszedł w marcu tego roku i bardzo nam wszystkim go brakuje. Chciałam zrobić dla siebie pamiątkę- pożegnanie, ze zdjęciem, które zrobiła wujkowi moja siostra w restauracji Śląska Prohibicja.
Uncle Józio, my godfather, was the biggest fan of my handmade cards. He collected them all, and I regularly sent the most beautiful cards to him every Christmas and Easter, with handwritten wishes, which he also greatly appreciated. Uncle Józio passed away in March of this year, and we all miss him very much. I wanted to make a keepsake for myself, a farewell, with a photo, which my sister took in the Silesian Prohibition restaurant.
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:

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.

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.

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

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 :)
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!
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.

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.
Mam ogromny zaszczyt w tym miesiącu wykonać projekty dla Spellbinders – z ich pięknego zestawu wykrojników “Nostalgic Serenade Card Frame Die Set” dostępnego w subskrypcji Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month :)
Becca Feeken, która projektuje wykrojniki dostępne w tym kit klubie, jest od lat moją guru najpiękniejszych i najbardziej eleganckich kartek i innych dzieł… zresztą możecie sprawdzić sami odwiedzającjej blog.
Majowy zestaw wykrojników wycina jak marzenie i jest tak dobrany, że można tworzyć przeróżne prace, także duże kartki (moja ma 12x17cm). I u mnie na początek powstała taka właśnie kartka, wybrałam papiery i kartony, a piękne ażury “zrobiły” całą pracę.
… was a month ago ;) Our family gathering was so cool, that instead of a layout I decided to make an album. I used Heidi Swapp’s Memory file and favourite punch by EK Success.
Hej hej, dziękuję za odwiedziny na moim blogu! Mam na imię Agnieszka i dzielę się tutaj swoją twórczością związaną z moją pasją, czyli scrapbookingiem i mixed-media, a także zdjęciami z interesujących miejsc, które odwiedziłam :)
