Good morning and thanks for joining us! We have a blog hop going on today and the entire Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team spent the week creating with the Graceful Frame Maker. We each picked a border from the Graceful Borders collection to work with and spun it into a mitered frame or mitered frame background for use on a card. The Graceful Frame Maker is a die that will cut four miters to create a framed card from borders, punched strips or tall dies – you can see a step by step tutorial and a video tutorial.
I’ll tell you a little bit about my card and will share a link list below so that you can see the creations of each person on the Creative Team as well as learn how to win a free Amazing Paper Grace Venise Lace Collection Die.
Recently I shared new dies with you from the Venise Lace Collection. There’s a new border die in the collection called Bella Clair Border and I thought I’d give it a go with the Frame Maker Die. Although it is a wide border, I was absolutely tickled with how it turned out — I thought it was pretty nifty for a card that uses only one die :-)
Some links may be affiliate links, buying products through these links generates a commission at no cost to you.
It went together so easy! True story – when I have an intricate die, sometimes I’ll do a trial run with typewriter paper. But today, I lined all four of these borders up, cut them once with the Frame Maker Die, and was done. I just look at the result and it’s honestly hard to believe that it came from a straight border. I can’t wait to have more time to try the Frame Maker with some of my 7″ tall card front dies that have unique edges. I’m also going back through all my border dies and border punches.
The question I get so often is ‘how do you glue, secure and elevate the four pieces you get?’ Well, I get stealthy. Simply turn your four pieces over and secure the joins on the miters with clear tape anywhere you have a little bit of real estate.
Likewise, put little bits of foam tape (double-decker) strategically where ever you have real estate. To support the back of this die cut I used 16 small pieces of doubly stacked tape :-) See, you’ve been framed! And now here’s the Blog Hop information you’ll need:

Love all your dies, old n new, would be happy to win any of them, just love love your work…
The Isabella frame has a stunning border. It looks like cut work. I’ve always loved vintage linens and you have captured the look in your dies.

Awesome! I am really liking this die and the way you were able to miter this border. Thanks for the visual on the back showing how you put the cut border pieces together.
Not getting any work done today visiting everyone’s gorgeous creations. I love the new die Bella Clair. My favourite border die is the damask one I bought recently. Need to get the FrameMaker next! Thank you as always for your constant inspiration, Lynette aka AGH on Blogger.
This one is beautiful as the others. The one border that I love working with this most is the Victoria Corner. This die has helped make my insert just beautiful. The Bella Clair Border is just remarkable.
All of your dies are a intricate & beautiful. Choosing one favorite would be tough for me.
This is sooo beautiful as usual Becca, and I really can´t pick one die for another, as I just sooo love them all, and I really hope for, that the entire collection will come here, so I can get my hands of all of these, as I´m sooo in love with these. And you always gives us oo much amazing inspiration as this one here today. I LOVE your card, and can´t wait to see what the other girls have made too.
Oh goodness choosing which is always so hard. They are all beautiful and just makes us want more.
Hi Becca,
Just another beauty! Love doing the blogs to each of your team members, so interesting to see what each do with the same product, “amazes” me, lovely lady!!

I just love this border Becca – you did a great job and I’ve already put it on my wish list! Hugs the kardlady
This card is gorgeous, love the die. Christine S
I have found a new design for my cards. I will want to buy the frame maker die. All of them are beautiful. Thanks for the tutorial and video.
Just beautiful.
You make it sound easy…. I have to try!
Wow! This is gorgeous and hard to believe it’s a straight die. Obviously the Bella Clair Corder will be next on my list. I’m just waiting for the Marcheline Plume to arrive.
Beautiful card and all the dies just gorgeous.
God Bless

It just says so much to me.

Hello Becca,
This is stunning and the Frame Maker is ingenious and makes it so easy to cut these mitres. I saw you demonstrate it in the UK on QVC when you came over.

After hearing how easy it is, I’m ready to try that loopy border die from the words collection. But that Venise Lace is stunning!
So beautiful & graceful Becca
Hi Becca, This card is stunning !! I adore all the Venise Collection but this Bella Clair border is absolutely gorgeous, thank you so much for the opportunity to Win one of your fabulous die sets.
Lots of love from Patricia xx
Hi Becca, I hope I haven’t commented twice, by the time I got to the end of the hop I couldn’t remember. Your card is s lovely.

What a beautiful card! OH, I simply love your new Venise collection – all the dies are so feminine and lacy. If I have to pick a border, I think the Bella Claire is on the top of my list.
Becca, this is SO LOVELY & the sentiment is equally as lovely! ;) I am AMAZED that you did the frame with the Mitered Die! (Of which I will be getting for my Birthday! ;) ) I LOVE the Bella Clair Border Die! If I had to choose another, it would be the Isabella Frame! ;)
Another beautiful card!
I love this border die, it is cool. I love how your cards turn out. So gorgeous
I believe this is one of your most beautiful and versatile dies to date! Fantastic, Becca!
Good morning Becca, another stunning card!!!
Have a good one!!!

You make the most beautiful cards I have ever seen. I don’t think I could ever pick a
border from the collection as they are all beautiful. I would be happy with anyone of them. Thanks for sharing.
Hi, Becca,
You & your design team have given us some beautiful examples of what can be created with the Graceful Frame Maker. I have to say that this Bella Claire border is a standout. It certainly doesn’t look like this is a straight die!
I had just purchased my die cutting machine when you introduced your Graceful Frame Maker collection, and thus became my very first dies. The Graceful Damask border is one of my favorites from that collection. The sky’s the limit in making frames from your Graceful Frame Maker – so innovative!
Love & blessings,
Sandy
I haven’t found a die made by you that I didn’t like!!! I would really like to try your frame maker. Beautiful card.
Everything u make is glorious!
The graceful floral lace is so lovely!
As always, you created a stunning card. I always have to have your entire collections, so picking just one die is impossible! And now I need the frame maker, too!
I just love how those lacy corners fit together. What a pretty border!! Thanks, Becca!!
Beautiful as always. I do love the border dies.
Love your mitered border card
Wow! Amazing detail n this gorgeous die! Beautiful card! Love this beautiful frame you created!

Hi Becca,

Sorry to say that they all tickle my fancy especially the ones that you always use
I absolutely love these dies that make such delicate designs!
Becca this is a gorgeous card and die. Wonderful how you’ve made a beautiful square from a border die. Xx

I am a new fan..the card is Lovely!!! can not wait to see more.
Thanks so much for turning the piece over to show the foam tape attachment. So clever how the borders can make a wonderful background/frame. Like the others have said, hard to pick a favorite die.
Beautiful new design….along with a lovely example on how to use it! Also the words are lovely too! Thanks!
So pretty, Becca! The frame maker die makes other dies so versatile! I’d be hard pushed to choose a favourite as all your designs are so lovely!
