Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas (in August!)


Happy Saturday to you! Stopping in today with a card I made with a new Glimmer Plate by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. It's never too early to start making Christmas Cards! :)


I am using the new Merry Filigree Quatrefoil Glimmer Plate with Crimson Stars and Polished Brass Hot Foil Rolls. I paired it all with the Adoria Square Etched Dies Set.  


You can find all of Becca's gorgeous Dies, Glimmer Plates and more HERE!

Have an amazing weekend!!

INTRODUCING 3D HOLIDAY VIGNETTES BLOG HOP AND GLIMMER



Way back when 3D Vignettes were introduced, messages started to come in by crafters begging for the same thing, but for Christmas. You also asked that we keep supplying new inserts. Well, your wish is our command! Introducing 3D Holiday Vignettes plus new Glimmer Designs. If you are not familiar with these popular dies, stay tuned - lots of information follows.

Hi there, today we are sharing with you a great new collection by Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace with a blog hop featuring new Vignettes for the holidays and the new Holiday Glimmer Designs will blow your socks off.  So.....

What's a 3D Vignette?
A 3D Vignette is a dimensional card that folds down flat.  It has a front layer, a back layer and several in between layers that are held stable by slotted side pieces.  These layers allow you to build depth into a diorama or tunnel type card.   We take all of the guesswork out of the equation by giving you mix and match layers, including sentiments to stack into a Vignette.   So far, we've released 3D Vignettes and Shadowbox Vignettes.

What's more, you can use your own supplies to fill them up as well.  The bonus is that each of these layers also works for your other types of cards you make.  A budget crafter from day one, Becca keeps the "mix and match" sensibility alive in Holiday Vignettes so that you get a lot of bang for your buck.  What does that mean?

1.  These vignettes are interchangeable with your other vignettes.
2.  Holiday Designs can be used for non-holiday designs after the season.
3.  You can use these elements to make flat, stand-alone cards too.

About 3D Holiday Vignettes
Layered Die sets were introduced with 3D Vignettes and people quickly realized you could use individual elements in flat cards or you could use them layered together in a diorama.  Shadowbox Vignettes continued the tradition and as you might guess, these new layering sets can be used in both Shadowbox Vignettes and 3D Vignettes.

3D Holiday features three new facades (each including a sentiment) using the same shapes that came in the original 3D Vignettes - Round (snow globe), Arch, and Cabinet.

In addition, there is a new layering set for each - a round set, an arch set and a set to fit the new cabinet.  Join us as we give you a full-on look at all of the new sets.

My Projects For Today:

I am using S5-397 Santa Claus Layering Set Etched Dies


Here is what the plate actually looks like.

I made a simple card using the Dies. I just simply layered 2 die cuts in ivory and added a gold background to make a classic and elegant card.


The larger pinkish colored circle is from the Brillante Rondelle Etched Dies Set.


Next up I made an ornament with the Dies.


Again, I just simply stacked 2 ivory Die cuts on top of one another. I then added a die cut in gold behind them and then backed it with an ivory background. I then adhered that onto a Charming Snowflake Doily Die Cut in both the pinkish beige cardstock and gold poster board.
