♥ Elegant Jewelry Gift Box ♥


Hi there! Stopping in today with a fun project that I want to share with you. I used some of the dies from the new Shadowbox Vignettes Collection by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. I made a Jewelry Gift Box that can also be used as a little Jewelry Box. So it's a gift within a gift. And it was super easy to make, thanks to Becca's incredible Dies! :)


I started by making a frame with the Adjustable Shadowbox Frame with 3/4" Border. I then made a top using a piece of cardboard which I then covered in blue cardstock to match the frame. I then scored a 1/2" line at one end and folded it over the edge of the frame securing it with hot glue. Here is the back of it.


I then added the Callista Rectangle Shadowbox Frame Dies on the top of the box and then embellished with lots of pearls, gem strips and ribbon. I added a little crystal in the front to serve as the "handle" to open the box.


This would make a wonderful presentation to someone on their Wedding or Anniversary. Whether you include a piece of jewelry, a card or a gift card, it is something that will be treasured, for sure.

Have a super AMAZING day!

AMAZING PAPER GRACE FEBRUARY DIE OF THE MONTH BLOG HOP


Are you ready to be inspired?  Every month we love bringing you inspiration for the Die of the Month and today is our Die of the Month Blog Hop for February!!   If you have the die, we'd love for you to be able to make multiple things that perhaps you haven't thought of yet.  Stroll through the list of links at the bottom and maybe, just maybe, your next project is at one of those links!

The Enchantment Tall Flip and Gatefold Card Die Set natively makes into a tall gatefold card or a tent card by way of the unique base.  It is much like the December Die of the Month in that respect, but we wanted to give you a tall version.  Chalked full of extra pieces that include rims and unique inlays, these intricate motifs can be used in any number of ways.  If you do nothing more than to create a frame, there are four corner pieces that will help you do that.   The patterns are so delicate and romantic and we've found them to be a charming change of pace.

If you are new to our blogs, the Die of the Month is an exclusive die Becca designed for Spellbinders - it is called the Enchantment Tall Flip and Gatefold Card Die Set.  

This particular set has 9 dies and they can be used to make a gatefold card, a tent card, a background, a slip-in card frame with decorative corners, a basket, a purse . . . and the list goes on, while the individual dies in the set can be used for many things.  As always, there are sweet flowers included!  It's available until February 28th and then we make way for the March Die of the Month!


If you want to find out more about the Club - prices, how you sign up and what's included, please look --------HERE.
If you missed the introduction and want to know more about what inspired the Die of the Month Club, look -------HERE.

My card today:


This Die Set makes such an elegant card. Love the insert design and the corner dies as well. I added some gold poster board behind the Die cuts to give it some shimmer and dimension. The sentiment is by Penny Black. 


Next I made a quick and easy candle/jar wrap. This would look so pretty on a table for a wedding, birthday or any occasion really. All I used was the insert Dies along with the small rectangle Die.


As always, each member of the Creative Team spins their interpretation of a die.  To see their makes pop down the list of Creative Team Member to see more!

♥ Callista Rectangles - Shadowbox Vignettes ♥


Hi there. Stopping in today with a card I made with some of the new dies from the Shadowbox Vignettes Collection by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. The base of the card is the Callista Rectangle Shadowbox Frame Dies. Such a beautiful set that can go together with so many other dies by Becca.


The flowers were made using the Cinch and Go IV Etched Dies. And I also used the new Flutter Wing Shadowbox Butterflies Dies. Love those butterflies. They come in 2 different sizes. The papers I used are from the Prima Lavender Paper Pad and the stamped sentiment is by Penny Black.

Have a wonderful day!

INTRODUCING SHADOWBOX VIGNETTES BLOG HOP


3D Depth and Dimension are the order of the day!  Hi there, today we are sharing with you a great new collection by Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace with a blog hop featuring Shadowbox Vignettes.  It is a followup to her popular 3D Vignettes and at the core of the collection are a set of Shadowbox Frames that will allow you to make a frame any size you can furnish the paper for that sports a face that is 1/2", 3/4" or 1"

Whether you are hanging your kids' artwork on the fridge with a lightweight frame changed out every season or if you are sending your glorious dimensional cards is a frame with a lid - there are so many ways to use these Shadowbox Vignettes dies.  In fact, we think they are a great addition to your crafting toolbox.  If you've looked at the die and cannot quite imagine how it goes together, well never fear, there is a video for that and I'll show it at the end of my post.  The video has extra 3D inspired projects not seen here, so be sure to have a peek or even fast forward to the end.

About 3D Shadowbox Vignettes

Layered Die sets were introduced with 3D Vignettes and people quickly realized you could use them standing alone in cards or you could use them layered together in a diorama.  Shadowbox Vignettes continues the tradition and as you might guess, the layering sets can be used in both Shadowbox Vignettes and 3D Vignettes.  In addition to the 3 core adjustable frames and the four layering sets, Becca has designed a host of embellishments sized to fit your frames as well as your standalone cards.  We're particularly tickled by the easel (necessary to stand a shadowbox frame on a desk) that also transforms into a pocket or a basket.



I made this to have a decorative frame in the front to display and the card attached to the back. So it's a gift and card in one. These Shadowbox Dies are simply AMAZING!! So fun to make them! And so easy too! (See Video at end of Post!)


This Die Set is so beautiful! I love how it frames the shadowbox so beautifully. Gives a project such amazing dimension.


This is what the Dies actually look like.

Second up is S4-987 Flutter Wing Shadowbox Butterflies


These butterflies are drop dead gorgeous!! Perfect for a shadowbox, card or layout.


I simply die cut 2 butterflies out in 2 shades of pink and layered them over one another. I then added the body in gold to give it some glimmer.


This is what these Dies look like.

And last but not least, Next up is, S4-986 Filigree Shadowbox Easel and Pocket


I made a simple and quick, Gift Card Holder with the Adoria Square and Filigree Easel and Pocket Dies. This could also be a great place card setting as well.


I simply die cut the Adoria Square Die and folded it in half. I then cut off 2 of the swirls on either side to make it cleaner. I then adhered the Filigree Pocket to the front to act as a holder for the little note and gift card.

This is what that Die looks like.
