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.

Availability:

These plates are available right now on the Spellbinders website —–> HERE

AMAZING PAPER GRACE AUGUST DIE OF THE MONTH BLOG HOP

We're so tickled to get to show you a new Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for August called Elegant Knots.  Becca's dies don't normally have an abundance of embossing but this one has a ridge throughout the design so that it can be stenciled to add charm.  When released on August 1st Becca showed how easy it was to use for Valentines Day, Christmas and an anniversary - it goes with everything!! Each one of us has taken the die and spun it into a creation.  Please join us as we bring you more inspiration.

Love this beautiful Die set. It's one of those versatile Dies that can be use in so many different ways. Not to mention, it's so pretty too!

My First Project today:

First I made a shaped card with the Dies. I added a second die cut of gold poster board offset behind the pale pink cardstock for added dimension and also it adds stability to the card, as well.

For my Second Project, I made a quick and easy Place Card Setting. Again, I added some gold poster board behind the pink paper for added color. All I did was just score the middle of the die cuts and folded it to make the place card. Easy Peasy!

               

My Last Project, I made a sweet little basket/treat holder.

For this one, I just simply folded it in half but leaving the bottom half "curved" and not fully folding it in half. I then backed it with some patterned paper by adding clear glue to the back of the cream Die cut except for a couple of pieces on each side. They act as "legs" to hold it upright.

These could hold many different things, like the chocolate bar I used below or a bag of candy, etc. These would look cute on a table as a favor.

A Sweet Little Notepad

Hello there. I hope you are enjoying the weekend so far. I can't believe it is the beginning of August already! The Summer is flying by. Too fast for me. I don't want September to come because then my kids go back to school. Like having my babies close! :) And speaking of keeping someone or something close, I am always "losing" my little notebook pad and pen that I keep in my purse. And by losing I mean either my kids or husband takes it! So I wanted to make a sweet little notepad to keep in my purse that I know they won't steal, I mean take, from me! :) I made it extra "girly"!!

To make it, I used the Adorned Notepad Etched Dies by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders. It was super easy, quick and FUN to make! It literally took me under a half an hour to make this from start to finish! These would make great teacher gifts for Back to School or even favors for a wedding. There are endless possibilities for these! They're just too cute!!

You can find all of Becca's Gorgeous Dies, Glimmer Plates and Stamps HERE.

Have a wonderful day!!
