INTRODUCING AMAZING PAPER GRACE DIE Of THE MONTH


Good morning!!  Welcome to our inaugural blog hop of the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month.  Today we're here to pump you up with some inspiration for the many ways and many colors to use the Die of the Month as well as to give you the skinny on the club.  Stay tuned until the end of the post when I'll point you to the next inspiration stop in our blog hop.

What is the Die of the Month?
The Die of the Month is an exclusive die, crème de la crème, designed by Becca Feeken that are unlike previous collections.  These are the special ones, the ones that have waited for a special occasion!  What better way than to take you on a year-long ride of pleasant surprises!

Where is the Die of the Month available?
The Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month is available through Spellbinders.  You can buy it -------> HERE.

How much is the Die of the Month?
It's a large die and subscription to the club is $30.00 per month and includes US Shipping.

What's so special about the Die of the Month?
These are dies designed by Becca that are chock full of extra rims and options so that you have a huge amount of flexibility in creating more than one creation from the same set.  It's exclusive and limited, so you won't see it anywhere else and it's available until the subscription quantities are gone.

When is the Die of Month available?
The die of the month is available on the first of every month in quantities to cover subscriptions.  When it is gone, it's gone :-)

Why have a Die of the Month?When most of Becca's dies come out they are themed collections of 12 to 14 dies.  These are the dies that are more specialized that she didn't want to build an entire collection around - they are definitely Becca's style but she's built extra functionality and thought into these sets.  You all have spoken loud and clear to say that you have a monthly budget and that you want Becca dies all year long without breaking the bank.  Well, here you go.  Don't worry, collections are not going away but streaming them out on a monthly basis you'll see one once a month and they are delightful on the budget.

Here's My Die of the Month Make:
This month's die is called Christmas Village Vignette Frame Die.  If you look closely you'll notice that it looks a whole lot like the popular 3D Vignette Grand Cabinet.  That's no accident - Becca likes to make things that work together and add value to what's already in your stash.  No worries though, you don't have to have 3D Vignettes to use this die.

Here's what I decided to make.  First up, I have a sweet little lantern that I made with the set. It would be perfect to use as table decor or even place cards on the dinner table. Just add a little tag to them with a name on it.  It was super easy and fun to make!


I simply cut out 2 of the frames using green cardstock and one of the outer only frames using a piece of vellum. I then cut out 2 pieces of paper for my sides and then glued them together. (If you have the Grand Cabinet Die Set from 3D Vignettes, you can use the side panel die from that!) The vellum was glued to the back of the front panel. I then adhered the Santa sleigh and reindeer to the back of the vellum. When the (battery operated) candle is lit, you get a little surprise by seeing Santa. When It's not lit, you don't see him. :) 


My second project is a fun card using this fabulous die set! I wanted to make something in non-traditional Christmas colors.


I just love how you can layer the house, church and trees in what ever fashion you like! This is one AMAZING set that Becca created! Too FUN!!


And this folds flat for mailing purposes too!

You know Melissa, I was JUST thinking the other day, I "needed" something for the table for Christmas! Your little lantern would look WONDERFUL! I've thought MANY TIMES that the 3-D Vignette Cards would look LOVELY as a lantern---as seen in posts before! ;)AND your second card is LOVELY TOO!!! SIGH! I'm SO GLAD that Becca came out with this Club! I DID subscribe!!!! ;) CAN'T WAIT to receive it!!!! ;)
