Inspiration for 3D Pop Up Vignette Camera

I could never really call myself a scrapbooker but I adore sending long quotes, snippets, and little pictures.  These are things from the heart and they instill or invoke memories from the recipients.  That’s why I love the half vignette format – it’s a card, it’s a mini scrapbook, it’s a showpiece.  These are the kinds of cards that someone keeps out on their desk. That is the inspiration for this Month’s Die of the Month, 3D Pop Up  Vignette Camera.  I’ve given you four small panels inside the camera.  They are just enough for a recipe, just enough for a picture or two, just enough for two inspirational quotes.  For any extras simply add some washi or cover them with pretty designer paper.

It is an easy assembly.  Here is a short video that shows how:

You might just be looking at this box and wondering where the camera is?  Yep, inside.  This is a Christmas Explosion Box.  Simply lift the lid and the sides fall away to reveal what is inside.

This is the view once the lid is pulled away.

This is one of my favorite gifts to give.  There are four small panels inside the camera that allow me to place pictures.  Ever year I do a project to send that includes the Christmas photos from the previous year.  I know it sounds small but often it is the most treasured gift at Christmas time.  Do you wonder why?  Well, it’s because scrapbooking is such a huge adventure and often people want to do it, but never get around to it.  This way, four pictures is a biteable chunk.  I know I can get it done.  The pictures are used and we have something beautiful to show for it.  I hope this inspires you to at least try this project to give.

We can’t forget to use Glimmer on our projects, right?  On this camera above, I glimmered the body of the camera before cutting for a quirky, elegant presentation.  This just whispers wedding….

I had to do a card with just the camera!  This is for a woman but guess what . . . just take off the bow and you have a masculine card.

So many ideas, so little time.  What do you dream of doing with the camera?

More News!

Sweet friends, I have some other news.  I’m not the biggest fan of Facebook but earlier this year I’ve found my way by creating a place there that is free of drama and some of the negative talk you find online.  I call it an oasis.  We have created the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Encouragement Community and it has been clicking along for more than 6 months.

Along with the creative team we are now offering a tutorial every other day during the month, to boost up our skills.  Each tutorial is lead by a member of the Creative Team and falls within their expertise.  I invite you to join our group and make use of the Guides we are setting up to enhance your skills.  If you are curious, join, if even for a day.  To provide inspiration and encouragement is on my heart.  So many readers asked for a venue like this; it is exclusive to Amazing Paper Grace dies and showing you additional ways to use them.

For example, you can watch Anita Kejriwal’s video teaching how to create realistic poinsettia flowers with my Cinch and Go Poinsettia die The paper flowers are amazing!

I hope to see you there and as always, thank you for stopping by!!

    Greetings Becca! What an adorable camera…. I LOVE it! My sister is a photographer and has a vintage photo booth business….not just an ordinary one tho! She has tons of props and she mans the camera, helping to group people closer, prompting prop changes, etc. and does major editing too. Of course COVID has put a stop to her events, but this is so perfect for her. I am going to have so much fun making one for her!! Also love your new picot collection….I used to tat when I had more time! So of course I bought the whole kit and caboodle….and your new awesome glimmer set too. Eagerly awaiting my new goodies! Hugs.

Amazing Paper Grace introduces the Picot Petite Collection featuring S5-404 Filigree Quartet - learn about this die at www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=36546
I guess you can say that I feel right at home going back to my roots with classic sewing inspired motifs! Introducing the Picot Petite Collection!

Over time we’ve had lace-inspired designs and have loved the feel of Hemstitching and Candlewicking.  Reminiscent of needlework and treasured handwork proudly displayed, I’ve developed another classic line of layering shapes that feel so much like tatting or picot crochet.  As you might imagine, these shapes are crisp, clean, and timeless. Whether you are simply adding a classic layer to a card or cutting an aperture to highlight a lovely sentiment – these shapes mix and match with other sewing inspired motifs as well as intricate backdrops.

Today you’re in luck! Our Creative Team is sharing makes from the Picot Petite Collection.

Amazing Paper Grace introduces the Picot Petite Collection featuring S5-404 Filigree Quartet - learn about this die at www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=36546

Classic Shapes are Timeless

I’m a card maker too, so for this collection, I decided on the most popular die-cutting shapes in oval, round, square, and rectangles. Moreover, these classic shapes mix and match with Hemstitch Classics, Candlewick Classics, Elegant Twist Classics, and now Picot Petit.

The Inspiration behind Picot Petite

If you’ve ever seen tatting, the little loop produced along the edge is called a “picot”.  It’s this little loop that is the basis for the border on all of the Petite Picot shapes.  They are lovely as a backdrop for any other layerings as the little picot peeks out.  It’s just a subtle way to bring in the ways of classic needlework to give texture and dimension to the backdrop of our cards.

Each of our Creative Team members will show you their take on cards made with a classic picot flair.

My Cards using Picot Petite Collection

First up is Amazing Paper Grace S5-404 Filigree Quartet

Here is what the dies look like:

For my project today, I made a layered card by double stacking the die cuts.  This die has four inserts and I used all of the inserts on the card and removed the inserts to get my gold layer.  I used GLP-176 Borders and Sentiments for all the sentiments I’m showing today.

Designer Tip:  Highlight the focal point on your card by cutting up a die and using something pretty to draw the eye in to the place you want people to focus.

Here is the Spellbinders video showing amazing new samples as well as a walkthrough of the entire collection.

For my second card, instead of using the inlays to fill the Filigree Quartet, I reached for another die in my stash.  That’s the truly lovely thing about this die, you can reach for almost any die to fill it.  Simply use all four rims and cut out your own insets.  For these insets I used S4-993 Floral Tiara Topper.

    What a beautiful collection of dies! You’ve outdone yourself, Becca! Thank you for sharing your creative gift with us online. You asked about which shape is used most often. I tend to grab my circles or rectangles. I gravitate toward the standard A2 card size. I like circles because a circle is a circle. Not so with ovals. One can mix up circle sets easily.ReplyCancel

    What a great addition to all the wonderful dies you create. It makes for endless creations. I appreciate that as I love making random cards for friends and neighbors. I get stuck sometimes with a “flavor” of the day die and this will give so many options.
    Pray the recent storm only skirted your area and left you intact. I know it was a long haul to get back home. Hugs, DianaReplyCancel

  • Crafty CruiserSeptember 19, 2020 - 10:39 am

    Absolutely fabulous projects from you and all your design team, Becca. As to your question on preferred shapes, I tend not to stick to any particular shape – I like them all, depending on what I want to achieve.
    What a shame your Giveaway is only available on Instagram. I don’t subscribe to any social media sites so that rules me out. My loss I’m sure but I’m sticking to my principles and never joining any!

Every once in awhile a die comes along that gives you so many combinations that it’s almost like a puzzle.  Today we are sharing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for September 2020 Lattice Quadrante.  The four pieces of pristine cut, pie-shaped lattice with decorative edges will have you twirling, twisting, and setting the pieces on end figuring out all the beautiful configurations you can make.

Some links may be affiliate links, buying products through these links generates a commission at no cost to you.


Lattice Quadrante Details

Who isn’t a fan of lattice?  When creating I always hope for pairs of motifs so that I can cut a symmetrical design in one pass.  This die is symmetry on steroids!  So I’ve given you four identical motifs that function as inlays or can be used altogether with a rim to make a rounded central element.  The word quadrante comes from quads and is just the hint you need to know that there are four pie-shaped pieces in this set to create a configuration powerhouse.

Today, the creative team and I want to inspire you to think of different combinations using the Die of the Month, Lattice Quadrante.

It’s truly like a puzzle!  Here’s what we came up with.

  1. Use all the motifs together in the rim for a large motif.
  2. Alternate motifs in the rim for an alternating lattice design.
  3. Cut each piece separately and use the pointed end as corners.
  4. Make a tall card by stacking two of the motifs the tall way.
  5. Make a pocket card by cutting two of the motifs side by side.
  6. Set the die on point and cut a v-shaped peek a boo piece.
  7. Use one motif alone.Are you getting the picture?  We can name so many more!

 

There are SEVEN dies included in the Lattice Quadrante Set

My Project Today using Lattice Quadrante

Squeal!!!!  I simply love the symmetrical motif folded in half!  I’m using the folded elements to add “feet” to my card.  This is the only die I have that will make that happen.  For that reason, this floats right up to the top of my stash!!  Decoration doesn’t get any easier.  Although this time around I glued together a motif for the center of the card, the feet are going to be lovely on my sentiment-centric cards.

Designer Tip:   Put the outside rim in place, face down and use washi tape liberally.  Center all four elements inside the rim to create a doily or large motif.  In short, you don’t want to skimp on the washi tape on this die.

My second project is a bookmark and I can’t tell you how happy this makes me – it’s sooooo darn elegant.  These can be made in under five minutes.  Simply glue two of the quad motifs together along the outside straight edge, allow to dry thoroughly and slide over the corner of your page.
