♥ A journey of a thousand miles...♥

...begins with a single step. Such a beautiful sentiment. Stopping in today with a card I made with some Amazing Paper Grace Dies for Spellbinders. The base of the card is made with the Ringlet Round Etched Dies. Such a beautiful Die set!

I then added some Curvy Labels Etched Dies on top of that. These dies work so well with so many other dies or just by themselves. The flowers were made with Cinch and Go Flowers III.

You can find all of Becca's gorgeous Dies HERE!

                                                     

Have a wonderful day!

♥ Sweetheart Swirl ♥

Happy Memorial Day Weekend! I hope you are enjoying it so far! We are on the official countdown to the last day of school around here. Can't wait for Summer!! Today, I have a sweet and romantic card to share with you. I am using the Sweetheart Swirl Etched Dies by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. It is from the new Romancing the Swirl Collection by Becca.

I made the flowers with the Cinch and Go Flowers III Dies and some Lia Griffith Crepe Paper.

The background papers are by LemonCraft and the center vintage image was printed off from Google images. Isn't that Sweetheart Swirl Die to "die" for! And the Swirl Accent in the center is just too sweet!

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

♥ Cinch and Go Flowers III ~ 3D Vignettes ♥

Hello everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Easter! Such a wonderful time of year, isn't it? Springtime. Love the smell in the air...the beautiful sight of tulips in bloom...warmer weather. Love it all!

Today, I have a lovely card to share with you all. I am using the Cinch and Go Flowers III by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. Love this die set! You can make so many different styles of flowers with this one set. And it's super easy!

I simply wet the die cut flowers by spraying them lightly on both the front and back with some water in a mini spray bottle. (There are 4 sizes in all.) Let the water soak into the paper for a minute or two to loosen the fibers in the paper. I then take a stamen (they can be purchased HERE at Amazon) and thread the smallest flower onto it and "squish" the flower around the top of the stamen. Then continue with each flower with the largest die cut being last. I then add the greenery and adhere it to the bottom of the flower with a dab of hot glue. Let dry for several hours. You can then use them as is or open them up a little by bending each layer back.

For the smaller flowers, I just used 2 of the smallest flowers.

You can use cardstock, tissue paper, crepe paper or felt to make some beautiful flowers with this set! I also used the Grand Cabinet 3D Card Etched Dies for this card. Both sets are from the 3D Vignettes Collection by Becca.

I hope you have an amazing day!

♥ Door Style Shaker Card ♥

Hi! I'm here today with a fun shaker card that is perfect to give to someone who just purchased a new home or for no reason at all, actually! :)

The first time I saw the Ornamental Arch Etched Dies by Amazing Paper Grace, I thought of an old wrought iron door. So when Becca said she wanted the Creative Team to make some sort of shaker card, I thought why not make a fun Door shaped shaker card using these gorgeous dies!

I just simply "hinged" the door using a little hot glue on the left edge of the arch inlay die. There are many ways you could do it but I just wanted to make it quick and simple. I stamped inside the shaker with a sweet sentiment from the Home Is Clear Stamp Set by Technique Tuesday. The door is kept closed by tucking it under the bow. ;)

I added a Graphic 45 Door Knob to the front of the "door" along with some flowers, ribbon and the leaves are from the Cinch and Go Flowers III Die Set.

Have a wonderful day!
