Hi friends, the month of June started off with a bang and I wanted to dip in and show you some of the makes by my fabulous Creative Team (Links to all at the bottom of my post).  It’s amazing, when you give a die like the Pop Up 3D Vignette Road Trip Car to a group of different people, the lovely different things they come up with.  The team ran with the ball on this one and created some delightful creations full of whimsy.

Come along with me for a closer look at the Amazing Paper Grace June 2022 Die of the Month . . .

Look at the clever way Joanna Wisniewska used the round element for the tire as balloons.  Joanna shared that this beauty is going to her daughter on her birthday.

The punch of color with the yellow jalopy done by Agnieska Posluszny just screams, “Jump in Me” for a ride.

Tracey Sabella is a fantastic mixed media artist.  We watch in wonder every month as she takes elements I design as elegant and ages them to perfection.  This decrepit, rusted-out junker has a beautiful patina.  I can just imagine it was found in the back of a junkyard.

Kathy Jo Wood is a new Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team designer.  You can look at her bio HERE and I hope you’ll follow her on all her social media channels.  This was her first creation with us and she had me at “PINK”.  She and her bestie are down for a shopping road trip.

I love it that Kate Skonieczna showed how easy it is to pop her creation into an envelope.  I would love to see the look on the face of the recipient when they open and pop it up.

Kate also made a conventional front view with a wedding theme.  This car is so whimsical and is bound to be the unique creation in the pile.

Katarzyna Bobrowska served up a glittery creation this week.  To make a small-footed card she took an A7 background and folded it in half to make the perfect base for her card.

Framed so cleverly by an A7 background frame, Robin Clendenning created a full-size A7 card in brilliant blue.  It almost looks like it’s driving right out of the page!

Rajni Chawla created a spiffy roadster in red.  The pop of red against the white background makes the car absolutely sing.  More brilliantly, she shows how easy it is to make this into a slimline profile.

Patricia Manhire blended pastel tones for a sweet, soft ride.  Patricia is the flower queen so of course her car is embellished with the perfect spray of flowers across the front.  It’s the perfect embellishment for the perfect car.

That’s a wrap!!  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 to the table to create.  They excel at creating 3D items and embellishments from flat dies with the most unexpected creations.

    Wow; I am inspired by these wonderful creations. I love the variety of the cards and card bases. The Sunday & Truck series is so much fun and I never tire of using them. Alway enjoy looking at what you and your team make.

    As I have not been able to find this type of die, I would like to suggest that you consider making a series of tags that are (1) incremental in size – at least 3 different incremental sizes that can be stacked or used independently; (2) slight curved; (3) double-fish tail. It would be nice to have to be able to cut all in one pass and have matching stencils that would let you color all three (or more) tag outlines with dots, stitches or a solid line. Another accessory could be a glimmer plate that would do the same as a stencil. This way you could stencil or glimmer selected outline and then cut out all in one pass. And of course we would need a set of stamps and/or glimmer sentiments to fit each size. Thanks for the consideration!ReplyCancel

The Die of the Month comes with a full instruction sheet that shows you how to stack the dies to cloth the people, how to add on hair, and how to build the car.  Mine in the samples is decked out, but the embossed detail on this set gives you the option of keeping it simple.  It’s so sweet that this folds flat to go into an envelope.  Because I love embellishment, I added a bow and a flower onto the back of the car.  Here is a view of the card above, from the back side.

The Inspiration for the 3D Vignette Road Trip

Road Trip was inspired by a cute sticker given to me by a friend.  Even though it was a flat presentation, I felt I could turn it into a 3D Car.  I so wanted the option of a convertible that would house children with their hands in the air catching wind as if they were on the down slope of an exciting roller coaster ride.  It absolutely brings a smile every time I put one of these together! It’s really a delightful crafty time.

There were quite a few different pieces made for the Road Trip ensemble.  These were coordinated pieces for a wedding.  The piece below is a card you would give to Newlyweds. The Circle Meets Square makes a gorgeous background.

What a wonderful series of cabinets and pop ups you have designed over the years – I believe I have them all and enjoy working with all.

Introducing Amazing Paper Grace Collection - Layered Fleur Bouquet - more details at www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=37980
Hello there sweet friends, Happy Memorial Day – I celebrated by sending a Layered Fleur card to someone close to me.  As I move through the day, I want to start off the post in remembrance of some very dear to me.  My late husband and my father were both Veterans who died in service to their country.  I love that there is a day to remember them, and to be honest, as the widow of a veteran who died from his service injuries, there is not a day that goes by that I don’t think of them and what they gave.  We have lived the military life and though I personally haven’t been in the field of battle, I’m very aware that being in a military family is a secondary service.  We wouldn’t have it any other way.

Today, stand with me and say a prayer in remembrance.  We live in a great country that has been defended by good men and women who give in a gesture of sacrifice that many don’t understand.  It is a lifestyle they choose and we are all the better for it.  Much respect for those who serve and it’s my honor to pay tribute to those who have given their lives.

Layered Fleur – Memorial Day Card

I do send the occasional Memorial Day Card out and in preparation, I made a duplicate of this lilies card to send out.  (Yes, it also doubled as Easter).    I have to admit, that right now with all the fun stuff in my stash, I am a bit challenged to find something suitable for both Memorial Day and Sympathy.  Lol, that just goes to show how flexible this particular set can be.

I haven’t shared this on the blog yet, but recently I posted my newest collection called Layered Fleur Bouquet and was so tickled with the response.  These paper flowers are just like painting with numbers.  The dies are all numbered and are on the die in the order you need to stack them from left to right, to make the flower.  In addition, there are handy dandy guides that walk you through.  Scroll down to see some inspiration and all of the Layered Fleur Guides.

  • If you do like flat, then there is no burnishing.
  • If you do like solid cardstocks, then there is no coloring.
  • If you do like dimension, then burnish away.
  • If you do like to color, then touching the petals with a little ink is all that is needed.

Below I’m showing a recap of the entire collection and each of the layering guides.

Assembly is easy.  Simply cut and stack according to the guides below.  These flowers work without any further embellishment and those who crave the look of colored flowers, color away!!  The Layering Guides can be downloaded by clicking this link HERE.

On a personal note, please know that I have been busy lately however my heart and my passion are still wrapped around the giving of cards and handmade items.  Real life sometimes takes the foreground and hopefully soon I can take you down the path of reflecting upon the last year.

Today I am creating a bouquet in honor of my hubby that I described above.  As soon as I have it made, I’ll take it over to his gravesite and say a prayer.  Even though he was a serviceman and many other lovely things, he nurtured and lifted a loving wife and three amazing children that will never forget him.

    Hi Becca. I love your cards and I especially loved this one and the story abt your beloved husband and being a military family. I too come from a very long line of Veterans. My passion besides card making is Ancestry. My brother, dad, both grand fathers and theirs plus many uncles have served in every single war this country has been in since the Rev. War. I’m very proud of them and my heritage. It takes special people to serve and their families are equally as special. Our family, while we lived elsewhere, were other military families. I always thank them because they hold down the fort per se,for our Vets while at home or if they are on tours. A greatful thank you to your late husband and dad, and to you and your children. ?
    The card is a beautiful and a beautiful tribute.
    Blessings to you and yours sweet, Becca. God Bless you, our Vets, their families and this beautiful country we all call Home.?? ?? ??ReplyCancel
