Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace welcomes Beth Pingry to the Amazing Paper Grace Family as Interim Creative Team Coordinator and Social Media StrategistGood morning sweet friends! You know I love to share good news and today is a good news day. I am happy to announce that Beth Pingry is joining the Amazing Paper Grace family as Interim Creative Team Coordinator and Social Media Strategist!!

I realize I can’t wear all the hats and I welcome Beth’s wealth of knowledge and experience as Amazing Paper Grace grows. In fact, Beth and I have some exciting news right around the corner  . . .  details coming up on June 15th.

Beth is no stranger to crafts. She adores dabbling and has a passion for papercraft among many loves. Today Beth shares a papercraft project as we share some information about her life.

Meet Beth Pingry

Beth is a lifelong crafter who started scrapbooking long before it was cool. Paper crafting turned into an obsession at the birth of her first son. Soon that turned into working on design teams, and then real jobs with leading manufacturers in the craft industry.

Beth has experience in all aspects of marketing including blog and design team management, website content, advertising, new product development, packaging, teaching, catalog design, and social media and SEO. Beth has taught scrapbooking and card making classes at stores, as well as large consumer and trade shows. She has been published in magazines, on TV, and on product packaging. She also holds a bachelor’s degree in Marketing.

Beth lives in the Chicago suburbs with her husband and rescue dog. Tootsie loves car rides to the city to visit her two human brothers. When not working, she enjoys a good spin or Pilates class. She is also a runner and completed 14 half marathons and 1 full marathon. She admits to spending way too much time on Ancestry during the quarantine.

Introducing Dimensional Doilies by Becca Feeken to get links and see supplies go to www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=36036

Things are not always what they appear!  When you look at this die set, you may be hard pressed to see what it becomes but that’s why we’re here – bring on the inspiration!  We’re so tickled to be introducing a new and unique take on doilies.  Please welcome the Dimensional Doilies Collection.  Hop through with all of the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team to get a small taste of inspiration as well as see how each has used these new motifs!

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

Inspiration for Dimensional Doilies

Some of the first dies ever to hit the market were doilies.  They gave you a symmetrical base to put your card elements on and they simply frame your creation and draw your eye inward.  By now you probably have many flavors of doilies in your stash.  These doilies are different.   With one pass of the die, three identical motifs are created.  These motifs have perforations and slits on each edge.  When the perforations are folded and the slits are intersected, it creates a round doily of 6 to nine pieces that has a secondary filigree layer.  The texture, dimension and pure femininity they add to a card front is gorgeous.

This collection is full of rims and the ability to create shadow layers, each die gives you several options.  Whether you like an intricate layer or the solid layer, the choice is yours!

My Card For Today

I’m tickled to introduce all four of the dimensional doilies :-)

I’ve layered two in each card and you can see individual doilies displayed by each Creative Team member.
Here I am showing:  S4-1059 Timeless Grace Doily and S4-1055 Starburst Petal Doily

Introducing Dimensional Doilies by Becca Feeken to get links and see supplies go to www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=36036

I wanted to show the effect when you layer two doilies.  It gives a very pleasing depth and dimension and because the doilies are shaped differently, they are easily staggered so that you can see the layers beneath.

    Becca I love two doilies together! Beautiful cards :-)

  • Jane FiresApril 13, 2020 - 9:13 am

    What size card can you make? Can you make an A2 size? Love the look.ReplyCancel

    • Becca FeekenApril 13, 2020 - 9:23 am

      Hey Jane:

      The doilies are about 5.5″ all the way around, so for an A2 you might look to do a half doily. The starburst petal is a smaller doily is you can probably get down to about 5″.

      I hope this helps!

    You are so creative and I love that you challenge us in how we employ your dies in our card making! As usual you can use in dies tandem with other doilies as you did. However, looking at the display it seems as if you could also cut the pattern and overlay it over the solid one. I wonder if you could alternate designs in same doily. Looking forward to seeing what your creative team did. Everyone keep well and happy.ReplyCancel

    Morning Bekka. I’m from the UK and LOVE your blog when I get the time to browse (atm have plenty of time on my hands). Could you tell me how to make the lilac/purple bow on your April 13th 2020 card – thinking of you. Can’t find a tutorial for this one. Stay safe, with love & a prayer. Lynn xReplyCancel

You may have well guessed that I am a lover and a collector of typewriters. In the picture below I’ve photographed a real antique with the paper antique and I can’t tell you how much joy that gives me.  The typewriter is a vintage icon of our civilization and our march towards print freedom and in recent years, a collector’s item.  Typewriters are far from being a relic of the past!  I thought by creating a dimensional typewriter with paper coming out of it, it would give you the perfect place to stamp what you want.  Introducing, Pop up 3D Vignette Typewriter.

The typewriter goes together just like all other 3D Vignettes, yet it is open at the top.  It still folds down flat so that you can mail it!  This die set comes with die-cut word inlays yet you can stamp your message on the front page or all the pages.  There is lots of inspiration from the Creative Team today, so be sure to jump through all the links at the bottom of my post.

My Card Today

I peeked this version of the typewriter earlier but I got a few questions on it, so I decided to highlight it on my post today.  I love all the colors of the typewriters I’ve seen so far, but I knew I wanted to do one in gold.

Many asked where I got the words from. I simply reached for a set of letters I have in my stash – any letters will do – die-cut or stamped.  One of my mantras is that “words matter”.  Whenever I’m speaking to someone or writing a text or email, I carefully curate my words.  Spoken words can bring such comfort or can absolutely turn the light on if the right word is used.  Once spoken, they are lovely to reference but also can’t be erased.  So stating that words matter, I thought it appropriate to follow up with good words :-)

Someone else asked how long it takes to put the typewriter together. The answer is, it depends.  It depends on how detailed you want to be.  A 3D Typewriter will probably take about 35-40 minutes the first time around and then when you’ve figured out where everything goes it will likely take 25 minutes.  Now if you are going to add the key rims on every key, it will take quite a bit longer but most people will only want to scatter a few of those little ovals across the front.  On the sample above, I thought it would be cute to drop a pearl into every key rim.  Change it up!  Do it different every time!

    I wonder if these Spellbinder dies (So Many Sentiments Etched Dies and/or Even More Sentiments Etched Die Set) can be used to cut out a message on this lovely typewriter – bet you thought of that already. I can see the little basket you created here (or typewriter decorated small bag) at Christmas as favors on dinner plate wishing guests a “Merry Christmas”. Wouldn’t it be fun with a message “Will You Marry Me?”, “It’s a Girl or It’s a Boy” announcement or “Happy Anniversary”, “I baked this for You”! Ah, so many usages and so little time…ReplyCancel

    Becca, this is GORGEOUS! I LOVE the gold too! VERY VINTAGE & WONDERFUL! I LOVE typewriters, EVEN THOUGH I would jam the keys in typing class & make LOTS of mistakes! I do better on the computer! LOL My mom types so fast, and accurate, that she would jam an IBM Typewriter! LOVE this new die you’ve created for us, Becca! I also LOVE the words/sentiment you chose to use with this! EXCELLENT!!! OFF TO HOP!Can’t wait to see what everyone has done! ;)<3ReplyCancel
