Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Mini-Album Kit - I carry your heart - see details at www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=35652
Okay, Santa says now that you have taken care of everyone else, purchased all the gifts and have all the holiday meals planned out – now you have to take care of yourself!  I just might have something that’s right up your alley.  Enter the 3D Vignettes Mini-Album Collection.  Yes! And yes, these elements work to make 3D Vignette Cards and 3D Vignette mini-albums can be made with the other card fronts you have already purchased.

Years ago I had a kit club that featured full instructions on how to make some very unique keepsake items.  Not a week that goes by that someone doesn’t ask if I could go back to doing “that” kind of kit.  Well, your wish is my command.  I have a release coming in January but as a fun kick-off we’re offering a full Kit that includes four of the collection die sets as an exclusive pre-release option with limited availability.  We all fell in love with this grouping of dies from the first sample made.  So much so, that Spellbinders decided to put it into an early pre-release kit.

Mini-Album Kit Details:

You get four dies from the 3D Vignettes Mini-Album collection.   You get all of the supplies like paper, ribbon and extra die cuts in addition to full step by step instructions and access to a video tutorial.  Out of the box, you’ll actually be able to make a mini album.  If you’d like to see more – here is an unboxing so that you can see exactly what you get.

Grab it now at a reduced price before full release in January when the regularly priced individual die sets hit the Spellbinders website.  This mini-album is timeless but it’s coming to you just in time for you to make it for Valentine’s Day.  This set is also perfect for Anniversaries :-)  The dies will make cards and mini-albums all year round.  They also mix and match with other 3D Vignettes in your stash.

Amazing Paper Grace 3D Vignette Mini-Album Kit - I carry your heart - see details at www.amazingpapergrace.com/?p=35652
|I think I’m tickled that includes a step by step instruction guide.  It takes you through creating a 3D Vignette Mini-Album that has the sentiment “I carry your heart with me.”  This is a dream project for me.

 

Tutorials Too!

There’s a step by step instruction in the box but for visual learners – here’s the video tutorial.  I promise you can do this!

We actually made books and mini-albums two years ago when 3D Vignettes was introduced and you all like them so much that we set to work on the real deal.  The universal spine makes it all work.  There’s more to come with 3D Vignette mini-albums in the next month, especially with other dies in the collection and ways to use them.  I don’t think of myself as scrapbooker but this is so small and easily managed – it’s like a many paged card.  Consider yourself officially encouraged!!

Thanks as always for letting me share my creative dreams.  This is the stuff that I’m doing in the background.  It is my therapy and keeps me gratefully busy.  I adore you all for obliging me and hope you’ll continue to peek in from time to time.

    Becca, that is one gorgeous set. I told myself for sure I’m getting it…but….far too expensive for me. Especially being Canadian.

    This kit looks fabulous. The dies are gorgeous and the colors are just perfect and so me. I ordered this the minute I saw the video a few days ago and cannot wait for it to arrive. Your style is simply stunning and unmistakable. It’s elegance and grace.

    Do you plan on having other kits in the future?

    Have a wonderful Holiday season Becca and all the best for a very Happy and exciting New Year.

    Hi Becca, It’s been a little while since I have written . It has been a busy time and I have been going full throttle lately but I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate the step by step instructions. I have never understood why almost all dies have no or very little instructions on using them. Especially complicated dies . It just seems like a common sense thing to me. LOL … I have been trying and trying to find some sort of instruction on how to use the Wedding Collection Bow Helpers and closures dies(S4-596) now for so long I have just about given up. Spellbinders really should have included some sort of instructions. I have tried and tried to figure out how to use this set of dies. Do you happen to know where I can find a tutorial on this die . I have searched everywhere I can think of. Any help will be greatly appreciated. I hope and pray things are going well for you and your family and ya’ll have a wonderful Christmas. God bless…Denice with a “c” : )ReplyCancel

  • MaryH.December 22, 2019 - 9:14 pm

    Becca wish you a very happy holiday season! The mini album dies are great. I have all the previous cabinets and a few of the new ones. So excited I got the spine and pivot and am so looking forward to being able to make albums too. Thanks for the tutorial – so professional and easy to follow. What a great idea having a package with all necessary elements to make an album. Look forward to more sentiments to include with cabinets/albums. So beautiful and creative! THANK YOU!ReplyCancel

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.

Henriette van Mierlo Headshot

Another month has come and gone with Amazing Paper Grace Guest Designers – yes, a whirlwind.  We were fortunate to have an amazing designer with a signature style with us.  Can we just gush for a moment?

When we first happened upon Henriette van Mierlo we knew she was something special and her cards were different than those we were seeing everywhere else.  I don’t know if I can describe her style other than it is clean, European, and totally enchanting.  Can cozy describe a card?  Well it if did, that’s how we would begin to frame the feeling you get when you see her work.

Today, I’m recapping the projects she made while she was with us.  They’re gorgeous and I’m in awe of her use of design paper to create a theme. I hope you’ll scroll through so that you can see how delightful the designs are and how versatile Henriette can be.
