Amazing Paper Grace August 2022 Die of the Month | Peekaboo Trellis Panels

Sweet friends, you know what time it is!! Yes, it’s the beginning of the month and that means a new Die of the Month! So without further ado, the Amazing Paper Grace August 2022 Die of the Month is called Peekaboo Trellis Panels. There are two of them and they are perfect for cards, borders and decorating. You can tell how much I love a die by how many projects I kick out and I had to stop on this one!

Inspiration for Peekaboo Trellis Panels

This die set is lovely and oh so useful, just because of its simplicity. There are 13 dies in the set – stained glass like roses, a word, and two inlay panels that create a lovely see-through effect. In my inspiration, I’ve cut the inlay in many ways and also used it as a decorative border. I literally couldn’t stop.

I love a quick box and the border was the perfect decoration I needed for my two-by-two by eight boxes. I have a thing for gatefold cards, so I’ve included one this month. I also loved that I could make a card where most of the inlay falls away for a lovely wispy set of vines. Oh, I could go on but let me show you!

By the way, both edges of the die are non-cutting so if you want strips, you simply cut your strip to the size you need, position your Peekaboo Panel and cut away!!

On this month’s video, I show you step, by foolproof step, how to make a gatefold card:

Crafting Ideas for Peekaboo Panels

This see-through card is the number one inspiration for the die set this month. I love inlay panels and this makes the most intriguing card. The bonus is that I think the panel looks dazzling!

It is also right at home on a slimline card! This couldn’t have been easier, just cut and mount!!
The trellis panels play into Christmas in a big way!! Shhhh . . . don’t tell anyone this isn’t a bona fide Christmas die, it’s just playing at being one!

And there you have it!! This was a blissful couple of afternoons playing and experimenting. Even though cards are my main jam, just think about all the things you can make with the Amazing Paper Grace August 2022 Die of the Month – Peekaboo Trellis Panels.

By the way, each month we debut 8 – 10 new walk-through tutorials in the Amazing Paper Grace – Creative Encouragement Facebook Group. I hope you join us there!https://shrsl.com/3l8ne

Oh Becca, this new release for the Die of the Month just makes my heart sing. I love panels and cannot wait to receive this new die set. The white gatefold card with the vellum backing is just how I like to make my cards. I think the leafy vine panel is my favorite of the two. Each month you continue to amaze me with your elegant and beautiful creations. It’s going to be an amazing release.ReplyCancel

Inspiration Tour | Tiara Trifold

by Becca Feeken1 comment

Hi friends, this month we are sharing a beautiful die called Tiara Trifold. For your inspiration, I’m sharing a make from each member of our Creative Team. The die features a panel that can be used one, linked twice, linked three times and more. It’s is A2 Sized but also will find a fine home on an A7 card.

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

Come along with me for a closer look at the Amazing Paper Grace July 2022 Die of the Month, Tiara Trifold . . .

Tiara Trifold Inspiration

Tracey Sabella picked a shabby palette of colors for her gorgeous creation using Tiara Trifold.

In addition, just check out how cleverly she crafted the panel into a foldover type envelope – stunning!

This format lends itself well to making a gatefold card. And, that’s exactly what Joanna Wisniewska did. Embellished with both lattice and the flower dies makes it a dreamy combination. Jump over to her blog for more pictures.

Clean and elegant is the style of the day for Kathy Jo Wood. With a beautiful bow and carefully placed embellishments, this card would be just as much at home for a wedding, sympathy, a birthday or simply to say hello! shopping road trip.

Patricia Manhire created a sweetly cheerful yellow slimline card. I’m totally inspired by how she used the main motif and lattice to make a double-ended motif – very clever! Her card just whispers spring and cheer!! You must pop over to Patricia’s blog to see what else she made!

Rajni Chawla created a spectacular ensemble and if you have followed Rajni, you know that she creates beautiful and extensive ensembles. Starting out with an elegant box that is simply icing on the cake when presented with the stunning box below:

A beautiful, textured box with a double-ended motif, is large enough for a gift or to her card. The card is spectacular – it has no less than 7 panels and is a must see. All of the parts of this ensemble can be seen on Rajni’s blog.

Kate Skonieczna created a beautifully elegant card with a host of layers! The texture of each layer is harmonious with the other and makes her design just so unique.

Kate also made a sweet little box with a ribbon handle!

Agnieska Posluszny knows how to use design paper! Her use of the floral paper behind the lattice makes her garden come to life! On her blog you can see the detail of how she uses the lattice alone as the front panel to a gorgeous 4 panelled card.

Katarzyna Bobrowska created a wonderful mini album from the die. If you are wondering exactly how to create a closure for a six panelled mini-album like Katarzyna – be sure to stop by her blog for a look.

That’s it for our inspiration this month!! Each month the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team takes a Die of the Month and a new Die Collection and spins out unique creations that will give you a leg up when you sit down at the table to create.

Amazing Paper Grace July 2022 Die of the Month | Tiara Trifold

by Becca Feeken8 comments

And just like that, it’s already a new month. One of my favorite times because it’s time to introduce a new die of the month! This one is one of my favorites! (Don’t I always say that?) This month I’ve gone back to the classic and elegant to bring you Tiara Trifold. It’s going to be an elegant month as I wind my way through the ways to use the Amazing Paper Grace July 2022 Die of the Month – Tiara Trifold. Let’s dive in!

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

Inspiration for Tiara Trifold

I love a shaped card and rarely make side-fold cards. For this die, I wanted a panel that I could use on a single card, but that would also create shaped side-fold cards. In fact, it makes a single panel, a shaped card with two panels, a trifold-shaped card with three panels and the list goes on. In this case, you can get as many panels as your paper width will allow and after you’ve exceeded that, you can always marry by adhering a new set of panels to the last panel.

One edge of the die is non-cutting. It is very easy to cut multiple panels. Of course, there are dies for foliage and flowers and as always there are options to cut shadow layers.

You will definitely want to watch the video on this one, where I show you a foolproof way to line up the panels so that they are easily cut in succession. In the video, I show you step by step, how to create the shaped card. As a bonus, I also show how to create the basket.

Crafting Ideas for Tiara Trifold

This is the result if you create using one single panel. It creates a beautiful face to a card. The Eyelet Lace Frame makes a lovely backdrop.

This is the result if you create using two panels. It creates a beautiful shaped card with a side fold. Fluted Circles adorn the inside.

This is the result if you create using three panels. It creates a delicate Z-fold card.

This is the result if you create using multiple panels adhered together. It creates a mini-book or a shaped multi-fold card.

Lastly, this is the result when turned upside down and used to be the flap on a box.

All in all, this is one of my favorite Dies of the Month because of its versatility. It has so many uses. It has a sweet yet not too intricate look and the lattice is simply the icing on the cake. Along with the flowers and foliage and the ability to layer – I know that this one will sit on the edge of my desk beckoning me for some time to come.
