♥ Vintage Pierced Banners ♥

Happy Friday!! Today I'm sharing a beautiful and easy card I made with some fabulous Dies from Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. I used the Emmeline Treillage Etched Dies as the base of my card, I simply adhered them at the top with a tiny bit of glue.

I then added a Hemstitch Rectangle in gold to the center of the card front. To then finish it off, I added a wonderful Vintage Pierced Banner Die Cut to the center of the card. This "amazing" Die Set comes with 3 different shaped banners. (See pic below)

The banners could be used for so many different projects! Cards, scrapbook pages, invitations, Place card settings, etc. It's definitely a "Must-Have"!

Here are the Banners that come in the set. And they are even on Sale right now HERE!

                              

Hope you have a wonderful weekend!

The Amazing Paper Grace Thinking Outside of the Box Blog Hop

♥♥ For Newer Posts, Please Scroll Down ♥♥

We're so excited!  For months we've been bringing you creative ways to use your dies to make stunning cards.  Not today!!  Today, we're showing you how to make anything but a card.  Becca issued the challenge that the creative team could pick any die and not use it in the way in was originally intended. What that means for you is everything we are showing today is pretty much outside of the box.  Dies are meant for this kind of inspiration and as you hop around, you'll be amazed at some gorgeous creations that will have your head shaking.  Yes there are prizes, but but have your gift list sitting by so that you can pick out the next gifts you might be making for someone special.

I'll tell you a little bit about my creation and will share a link list below so that you can see the creations of each person on the Creative Team as well as information on how three lucky people can win Amazing Paper Grace Dies.

I first started by die cutting 3 panels with the Spellbinders Emmeline Treillage Dies. 

Then using some Glossy Accents, I glued them together with just a little glue on each end of the die cuts, forming a circle. 

Then die cut some flowers from the Cinch and Go Flowers and Cinch and Go Flowers Two Dies. (From the Cinch and Go Flowers Die Set, I only used the larger flourish die. The flowers and leaves were made with the Cinch and Go Flowers Two Set.)  Hot glue the circle to a paper doily. (for added strength, add a circle of strong cardstock or cardboard underneath the paper doily.) Then just simply, hot glue them to the front of the lantern. Add a battery operated candle and you're good to go! 

This was super easy and fun to make! They would make great centerpieces for a wedding or shower.

The flowers could also be changed up to snowflakes for a fun Christmas/Winter centerpiece.

How to Win:
Hop around to each Creative Team Member and leave a comment on each blog, three lucky winners will win a die of their choice from the Amazing Paper Grace Vintage Elegance Collection.    In making the rounds, a comment should be left on the August 15th Blog Post of each Creative Team member - in your comments let us know if there is a project you would consider making.  

When to Check Back:
We'll pick and post a winner on Saturday August 19th on the Amazing Paper Grace Blog.

How to Claim:
The winner has two weeks from the time the blog post is published to claim their die.  Simply click on the contact tab at the top right hand corner of the Amazing Paper Grace blog, leave your mailing address and type the name of the die you'd like.  Becca will be sending out the winning die.  Please give us a month, we'll get it to you, promise!

♥ XOXO ~ Amazing Paper Grace Style! ♥

Hello! I hope everyone is enjoying their Sunday. Stopping in today with a card I made with some gorgeous Spellbinders dies by Amazing Paper Grace. They are all from the Venise Lace collection.

The large background die is the Emmeline Treillage Dies. What an amazing die to work with! So beautiful!! The rectangle dies are the Hemstitch Rectangles Etched Dies. They are so fun too! Love these dies and how well they can all go together or be used separately.

And the flowers are the Cinch and Go Flowers Two Dies. They make making a flower so easy peasy! And they are so sweet too!

I hope you enjoy the rest of your day! ;)

♥ Emmeline Treillage and Francesca Label ♥

Have you seen the new Spellbinders Venise Lace line by Becca Feeken from Amazing Paper Grace? They are beautiful! Becca never fails to disappoint! Today, I combined both the Emmeline Treillage Dies and the Francesca Label Dies to make my card. Love these gorgeous dies!

I started with a piece of acrylic to form my card base. I then die cut the Emmeline Treillage dies from a piece of patterned paper from the KaiserCraft Mademoiselle Paper Pad. I then adhered it to the card front using some Tombow glue.

I then die cut the Francesca Labels from the same patterned paper and adhered them to the center of the background die. The sentiment is from the Beautiful Dreamer Stamp and Die set from the Vintage Elegance Collection by Amazing Paper Grace.      

Hope you have a great weekend!
