I’m always bowled over when the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team shares their projects.  I find them inspiring and wanted to share their lovely work!  This month we are highlighting the 3D Pop-Up Bubble Gum Machine.  It’s a unique die and you can tailor it for so many different occasions.  For your inspiration, I’m sharing a make from each member of our Creative Team.

This die is “dieing” to be made into a shaker card.  I found it’s the perfect attention grabber as part of a belly band on top of a box filled with candy.  You can go wild with colors and design paper.  Let’s take a tour of the Amazing Paper Grace August 2022 Die of the Month . . .

Patricia Manhire created a sweet scene.  Perfect in pink and embellished with tiny flowers.  Her creation spans from something you can give a young girl to something you can give a mature woman. The feminine touch here, is stunning.  Clean, crisp and cheerful!!  I’m sure this Bubble Gum Machine will sit out and inspire the wayward sweet tooth for some time to come.  But that’s not all – have a look at a second cheerful creation by Patricia . . .

How cute is this?  It’s light hearted and subtly dressy.  I love that she used a slimline background to give her creation this sweet flair!

Tracey Sabella created a steampunked out version that will make your jaw drop!  It’s almost like she has a machine shop tucked away with welders and old parts.  The end result is awe-inspiring, beautiful, aged, and well constructed.  Be sure to stop by her blog where she shares in-depth details of exactly how she achieves this result.

Sweet Readers, today is the beginning of September and that means, I have the pleasure of introducing a new Die of the Month today.  I’ll warn you ahead of time that the offering this month is oh, so, playful and comes with a very special set of messages.  Here we go, it’s a Bubble Gum Machine!  The Amazing Paper Grace September 2022 Die of the Month is called the Pop Up 3D Vignette Gumball Machine. I will tell you that when I was making samples, I had so many little ones vying for the results.  I had to hide the gumballs to keep them from disappearing.

Inspiration for Pop Up 3D Vignette Gumball Machine

This die set is simply going to make you smile.  I don’t know how many gumball machines are still around, but it is absolutely iconic.  This one comes with three pun-filled messages that make it fun to make and something really unique to receive.  Whether is given as a card or as a treat with real gumballs, it’s definitely one of a kind.

    Oh Becca, only you could make a gumball machine elegant with pearls and gold and ribbon! You always astonish me with your designs, and this is no exception. What a fun set – elegant or charming, this will have many uses. Well done on another fabulous design!ReplyCancel

    Hello Becca,
    I have to admit that I’m not really a huge fan of 3D creations in general but I just adore the Gumball Machine that you have created for us this month. All of the detail that you have included is just incredible. This kit is one that I’m really eager to try. Of course, the elegant version is my favorite. Looking forward to receiving this in the post. Thanks again for sharing your creative mind and wonderful talent with us.ReplyCancel

Showcasing the Amazing Paper Grace August 2022 Die of the Month - Peekaboo Trellis Panels - detailed information at www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=38242
Hi friends, this month our inspiration brings you Peekaboo Trellis Panels.  I’m sharing a make from each member of our Creative Team and their take on how they would best showcase the die.  The die set features two romantic filigree inlaid panels and some decorative Roses.  For the past several years, every fall I program in roses and this is it.  As I said in my previous post, the ideas just kept rolling in with this die set – I love it when the inspiration pool is full.

Patricia Manhire inspires us with a beautifully shaded rose and a side perspective card!  It’s gorgeous and jaw-dropping, and you can do this too!!

And lightning does strike twice!!  Patricia Manhire shows how easy it is to turn the panels 90 degrees for a vertical presentation.  She’s used the same embellishments for two distinctly different cards.

As always, Rajni Chawla layers texture to give you amazing depth on a card.  From the vellum that shows a hint of the blended roses underneath to the tiny pops of gold peeking through to the textured background paper – it’s a feast for the eyes!

It’s always an art to arrange leaves and flowers on a card but the balance that  Joanna Wisniewska achieves with this stunning, muted card, makes it a sing.  I love to study Joanna’s card and her placement because she makes it easy for you to do the same thing in your style.  Just follow her lead!

Kate Skonieczna is showing off a vibrant slimline card that runs the filigree inlaid panel vertically on the card.  Really, it makes a trellis for the beautiful flowers she has created.

Agnieszka Posluszny sure knows how to size up a die!  In her inspiration she looked inside the panel and made a couple of clever clips to comeup with a different background.  I love it! Who knew that a couple of snips would yield something so different.

Tracey Sabella leaves patina where ever she goes!  Today Tracey is sharing a botanical vibe and features her mixed media touches and shading.  All of the extra ephemera is simply icing on the cake!!
