A Note to Readers and Tiny Dancers Winner

Tiny-Dancers-Giveaway
Hi there friends! Just wanted to pop in and share the winner of the Tiny Dancers die template set that was up for giveaway. The winner need only reach out to me through the contact tab to get me mailing info, and this darling set will be on its way.

Just a note: After seven long years of blogging, it’s time for a little bit of clean up behind the scenes – the old blog is busting at the seams and undergoing a little bit of reorganization in the storage department. This means Amazing Paper Grace may be sporting a maintenance screen off and on for the next day or so – or things might look whopperjawed (lol, that’s my grandma’s word ‘cept she said woppajod). No worries! Keep checking back – you never know – some kind of giveaway treasures might float to the surface in between putting things away!

In the mean time, this month users requested ideas on how to use Spellbinders Swirl Bliss and Spellbinders Arched Elegance. Here’s a recap

Arched Elegance -It’s A Girl Baby Announcement
Arched Elegance – Elegant Card In Four Easy Steps
Arched Elegance – Basket and Engagement Card
Arched Elegance – Box and Card Ensemble
Swirl Bliss – Scrapbook Page
Swirl Bliss – Dinner Setting
Swirl Bliss – Covered Journal
Swirl Bliss – Picture Frame

Here’s some other lovely ‘must-see’ samples by great designers:

Adorning Accents – Card and Tutorial
Swirl Bliss – An Amazing Card
Arched Elegance – Stunning Candle and Card Ensemble

Last but not least a rerun in case you didn’t see it :-)

Back soon and Hugs!!

Gift Box Ensemble and a Giveaway

by Becca Feeken192 comments

“The best gifts come from the heart, not the store.”
Sarah Dessen

Don’t you just love that quote? That’s why we make what we make, right? Oh, hi there! I hope you had a wonderful holiday and I hope you want a tutorial today because that’s exactly what I’ve got! I’m sharing a little peek of an ensemble I created; I’m guest blogging over on the Spellbinders Blog today with full instructions for the card and the matching box ensemble. We always need Thank You cards and this is one is a cinch with a beautifully flourished sentiment from Quietfire Design from the Thanks Cuddlers Set (a must have in our gifting tool box). It’s all about gift giving and once you’re over there you’ll see how easy it is to make a unique golden arches box that you can customize to match two colors for a wedding party, for a baby gift, or for any occasion you like.

Giveaway

Before you go, I have a giveaway going on today with these two precious Ballerina Dies from the A Gilded Life Collection with Spellbinders. Leave a comment telling me the next occasion you want to make a card for! Open to all, including international folks, I’ll pick a winner on May 28 and will post it on the blog.

Hugs friends! I’ll see you soon!!

Love your gift Ensemble. Gorgous!ReplyCancel
AnnaMay 26, 2015 - 3:20 pm

I have loads of birthday cards to make in the next few months. But a very special one for my sister in law Lynn. She will be 65. I do all sorts of cards for her.
As she is legally blind I do large cards with black and whites so that I know that she can see them.
I just love watching what you make each time I get an email as I have gained lots of inspiration from you. I love the ballet girls and can use them on card for Lynn so that her granddaughter can look at the card and explain what she sees.
Many thanks BeccaReplyCancel

Hi Becca, I’m going to be making cards with about 15 ladies from my church this Friday night. Many of them have never made cards before so I think I’ll start them off by making a few CAS “Thinking of You” cards. The reason I’m choosing this sentiment is because it covers just about every occasion. Thanks for the giveaway Becca…..and the tutorial as well.ReplyCancel
Sonia StephensonMay 26, 2015 - 3:42 pm

Hi Becca. I love this card and box, it’s absolutely stunning, as are all of your beautiful creations. It’s great to see a tutorial to go with it aswell :-) My next card to make is for my Father-In-Laws Birthday, then we have Fathers Day and I have lots of family and friends Birthdays to make cards for so am going to be busy – but I wouldn’t have it any other way! :-) Hugs xxxReplyCancel

Hi Becca!
Just finished an anniversary card for my beloved of 52 years (yesterday the May 25). Guess the next one will be for my handicapped daughter’s little boyfriend, also handicapped which will be the end of June. Then in July, I have my hubby’s birthday, August is nephew’s. So I am slowing down for the summer.
I guess I cheated a little because I saw the tutorial on Facebook Spellbinder’s
blog; figured it would be on here sometime today and I was right. I have all your new dies so guess I am ready but would rather have the ones you made. Thanks for the contest!! Hope I win!!!!!!! Could be an early birthday present for me July 9th.

The next card I will make is for my sister. Her birthday is July7, while mine is July 8. We’re 1 year and 1 day apart and have always been very close. While we now live in different states and I will miss celebrating together, I want to send her a birthday card and a card set that she can use to send “Thinking of You” cards to family and friends. Her husband has early onset Alzheimers so they recently moved to Colorado to be near their son and his family. I know she would love a card set to stay in touch with friends she left behind. Thank you for the inspiration to create this gift for my sister.ReplyCancel

What adorable ballerina figurines. I think my next card to make will be my husband’s birthday card. Guy cards are a real challenge for me as I love creating with girly things, flowers, frills, ribbon. It’s hard for me to incorporate boats, fish , and tools into a nice card . Oh well, practice makes perfect. Ha Ha….. God bless…Denice : )ReplyCancel

I’m about to make a card to lift the spirits of a dear friend who has undergone very serious surgery. Her recovery is slow and I send her a card almost every week. I want to use my new Grate die with a large butterfly.
The ballerina dies are lovely. Thank you.

Morning Becca, A very beautiful Thank You card.
I am busily making my first mini Album for my new Great Granddaughter, Sophia Grace, she was 8 weeks last Sunday. I have loads of piccies that I take every week when I go to see her (today is my day, yay !!). I have made the cover and created the inside cover sheet and partway through doing my first page. I have never made one before and trying to follow the worksheet and video ‘to the letter’, and hopefully when I have finished I will have a better idea of techniques for future albums.
Looking at your fabulous ‘giveaway’, this die set will be fabulous for Sophia Grace when she gets a little older, and I would love to win it.
Lots of love from Patricia xxReplyCancel

My next card will be for Fathers Day AND one for my daughter in law, who´s birthday is the next day too, and with such a big famuíly there´s always some thing to make for here ha ha ha.

Hi Becca
What a beautifully elegant card. I am always inspired when I look at your cards especially when you use gold or teal or best of all both together.
There is true beauty in simplicity !!
Unfortunately the next cards I am making are sympathy cards and I personally don’t like cards that are sent saying ;To all the family;
Grief is a very personal thing as I’m sure you’ll know so to send someone a personal card that they can read when they are feeling low is not only more practical, especially if not living in the family home any more, and certainly much more comforting Have a great day.

A New Video – When Creative Minds Come Together

by Becca Feeken42 comments

Hi there friends – we’re right on the edge of a holiday weekend, the beginning of summer and coming up on a day to savor the memory of our loved ones who served on Monday, Memorial Day. I wanted to pop in and share a couple of things. The first thing is as rare as a dinosaur (I’m not kidding) so you’ll want to come see – what is it? Lets just say this is what happens when creative minds come together.

Anyone who knows me knows I’m not a selfie person, so I only let her snap one picture. I’m just not photogenic and am much more at home behind the camera – but what a great opportunity to spend some creative time! Last month I was so busy with the roller coaster of life that I didn’t get to share this picture. You’ll recognize her – Stacey Caron – she’s the inventor of Spellbinders and the creative force behind Spellbinders Dies – tools so instrumental in my wonderfully crafty life, and my friend! As a newly licensed designer we spent a little bit of time on camera together chatting. Ahem, me on camera in a video? Check, that’s an entry for my “Do Something That Scares You Everyday” journal!

So, HERE is a link that not just a picture or just my hands – it’s me in real life even though if you really look you’ll see I’m kind of shy but there’s no doubt that I’m tickled as punch with where I am right now.

Lots of planning goes into what Spellbinders produces and the dies you see now were conceptualized more than a year ago, in some cases two. I was amazed at the operation and and even met the folks that pack your orders (and my orders too). In fact there are a lot of people who work behind the scenes. I work alone so it was a bonus to me to walk into a place where the creativity is just swirling around in the air. Stacey and I poured over design ideas and well, I came back home with wind in my sails.

So here are a couple of links for you today:

Hey, and if you make anything with my dies, drop me an email to let me know – I’d love to see!

Becca,
As you probably know you see my name come up almost every time you blog. What a joy to see you and Stacey together. Girl you are so humble and you shouldn’t be! Spellbinder is so lucky to have someone of your quality and professional design. I had been to the website and saw the card and the candles blog and I have already purchased your wonderful dies. One of these days I will have to email you a picture of something I did with them.

As always, I hope you have a wonderful holiday and as I have said God Bless your creative hands!!
Hugs,
Mstgane

It was so good to see a person attached to the voice we hear in all your tutorials, Becca! The video was just great! I have purchased over a hundred dies from Spellbinders so that tells you your inspiration has made a mark in my card output! The newer dies are even better cutting than formerly and that makes a big difference too! Thanks again for all the time you spend with your creativity coming up with these beautiful dies.ReplyCancel

This just cracks me up because I would rather blend into the woodwork, also. You still look pretty good but for those of us that don’t like the limelight we have seen and felt that look.

Love all the beauty you make. You make us all smile.ReplyCancel
