Amazing Paper Grace June Die of the Month Blog Hop | A Winner

Hi there friends, today we are having a blog hop to give you some inspiration for the June Die of the Month.  I just love this die set, the design inspiration was Battenburg Lace and I thought it would be perfect to design it into a corner.   This set is called Enchanting Batterburg Corners.  Oh, and also the winner from last weeks blog hop is listed at the bottom of my post.

I’ve always gotten a lot of mileage out of corner dies and my mind immediately thought of a gazillion ways to use it.  I took the opportunity to make a “large” square card – it’s much like what my UK friends make but I’ve also seen large store bought cards this size.  This one is a belated graduation card and I’m tickled with how it turned out. This Quietfire Design sentiment from the Every Day is a Journey Set seems perfect for the occasion.   In addition to the sentiment inside, there is room to put a pocket the size of a dollar bill so that I can enclose money or a pocket the size of a credit card so that I can add a gift card.  I’ll do that once I decide.

My Project Today:

For this card, I cut four of the Battenburg pieces and trimmed the flaps to a scant 1/8″.  Then I taped them together by the flap.  It creates a beautiful square.  Then I took the small corner piece and a strip of 4″ paper and trimmed off the top using the upper rim and inlay.  I did the same on the bottom for a long centerpiece.  To finish off I cut the shadow of small corner piece from gold and layered it behind.
