Amazing Paper Grace December 2019 Die of the Month - Rose and Filigree Duo Slip In - learn about this die at www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=35572

Every now and again you need easy, right? This month I’m giving you a Slip In Card.  Slip in cards that are cut partially inlaid so that you can simply slip a decorative panel into place and you’re done.  This months Die of the Month is called Rose & Filigree Duo Slip In Card.

The partial inlay can be positioned just where you want it on your card, on one side or on the other or in the center.  It can even be used to make a gatefold card or an actual belly band.  And then yet again, each piece can be cut separately and used as an individual die.

My ‘go-to’ card is cream and gold.  It’s an easy make that is always elegant and it gives me a starting point that most of my future designs with the die are built upon.  That’s where I leaned today.  I simply cut two straight panels from the filigree and wrapped them around my card.  Easy, easy, easy!!  Between the two motifs I added a Quietfire Design sentiment from the Floral Banner and Quote set and called it a day.

Amazing Paper Grace December 2019 Die of the Month - Rose & Filigree Duo Slip In Card - learn about this die at www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=35613
I love a slip-in card because if I go with the flow, it’s an easy make.  Simply cut the slip in, add a panel, add embellies and sentiment and I’m done.  Hi there friends, I always look forward to the beginning of the month and the opportunity to show you what I’ve been working on.   The Rose & Filigree Duo Slip In Card has been on my heart for a while.  I get emails from followers all the time and they tell me what types of things will make their craft time easier.

This Slip in concept makes for a very easy card.  The decorative inlay cut die holds your focal panel in place – just add a sentiment!!  It creates a stunning horizontal or portrait-oriented card and is sized to work for a 5 x 7 card but if you get creative, the elements will also work in an A2 card as belly bands.  I’ve put together a video to show you how the slip in concept works – it’s below.

 

Rose & Filigree Duo Slip in Samples

Here I’m using the rose panel but have it turned horizontally and it acts like a belly band.  It gives me enough room to add a decorative panel and tuck extra items inside the band.  I’ve used the filigree panel as a decorative edge behind everything.

For this sample, I’ve melded together four of the filigree panels to make a full background by overlapping them slightly.  The background afforded me room to pop up a sweet sentiment!

As always the creative team and I are working in the background on makes.  It’s rough but someone has to do it right?!?  Join us on December 11 when the Creative Team rolls out additional inspiration for the Rose and Filigree Duo Slip In die.

Every month we welcome a new Guest Designer to the Amazing Paper Grace Blog.  We wait with bated breath to see their first designs and it’s always a revelation how someone with another style set processes the same dies we use day to day.  Please welcome Elena Ivanova-Dineva to the blog.  When we were introduced to her images to us, we were blown away by the styling and detail and we think you will be too.

Be sure to take a peek at her Elena’s Handmade blog every week of December 2019, for a new creation using Amazing Paper Grace dies.  In the meantime, let me introduce you to Elena!

Hi! My name is Elena.

I started my crafting journey way back in 2000 after being asked from a friend If I would make little greeting cards for her flower shop. Another friend of mine introduced me to papercrafts. I was hooked and since then and I have never stopped exploring the scrapbooking world.

I have always loved art and crafts from a very young age. Sewing and knitting were my favourite hobbies as a child inherited from my grandmother, who was a fashionista and seamstress.   During my crafter life, I have delved into different techniques and styles. I took to rubber and digital stamping, embossing techniques, Copic colouring, mixed media, dimensional projects, scrapbook albums and of course card making.  My last passion is making foamiran flowers which are an amazing addition to my scrapbook projects. Besides flowers for small projects, I love making real looking flowers and flower accessories.

I am happily married to my student sweetheart. We live in Bristol, UK, with our beloved teen daughter. My family is completed by our ragdoll cat Millie who is the princess of the house. I love to create and inspire other crafters.

It is a big pleasure to be a part of the Amazing Paper Grace Team as a Guest Designer.

Hugs,
Elena

Elegant Inspiration by Elena Ivanova-Dineva

This is a simply charming creation by Elena using the Grand Dome 3D Vignette. Instead of using the diecut inserts you can use with Vignettes, she used a delightful set of design papers to create the depth in this diorama.  It’s absolutely enchanting and an absolute showstopping piece for Christmas!!

Amazing Paper Grace Guest Designer Elena Ivanova-Dineva shares a beautiful creation using S6-136 Grand Dome 3D Vignette - see full post at www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=35597
I just love the depth and dimension.  What a brilliant use of design paper.  It gives you endless possibilities with 3D Vignettes.

Please stop by tomorrow, on December 1st, for your first peek at the Amazing Paper Grace December Die of the Month, the Rose and Filigree Duo Slip In card.  I’ll give you a hint: this month is a twofer – you get a duo of dies that will have you making quick, but classic cards!  See you soon.
