50th Anniversary Card with Filigree Numbers

Sponsored:  As a designer on the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team, I am provided with dies to create projects. Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L provides adhesives.

Today I have a 50th Anniversary card to share.  It features Amazing Paper Grace dies: Filigree Numbers, Tiara Rondelle, Vintage Pierced Banners, Layered Happily Ever After, Grand Arch 3D and stamp from Oh Happy Day.  Lots of different die cut layers all cut from cream cardstock with a touch of gold foil.

 

The card base is 5 x 7 inches.  Starting from card up, the first layer is rectangle of cream cardstock. The next layer is 4.5 x 6.5 inch cardstock cut with Grand Arch 3D insert (not outer edge) at each end so design is mirrored from top to bottom.  To do  that, I placed die and paper on cutting plate.  I covered only half of the die with base plate.  The die only cuts where both plates put pressure on the die and paper.  Next, I put the die at the other end and used the same process to cut that end.  I used a scissors to cut where the two cuts didn't quite meet.  It makes a gorgeous background and another way to use Grand Arch 3D! 

Before it was put on the card, gold foil paper was fastened behind each corner.
 

 

The Tiara Rondelle part was assembled first and then fastened to the card.  Because its a very thin die cut, I decided to cut 2 layers and fasten them together, a little dimension plus strength.  I applied Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch to back of cream cardstock and cut one Tiara Rondelle.  Then I had the "brilliant" idea to leave the die cut piece in the die, peel the adhesive backing and cut another Tiara Rondelle.  My thought was that the 2 pieces would be stuck together and cut perfectly.   I punched out the bigger cut outs but left the smaller pieces thinking I'd punch them out after second cut.  Well.....the little areas didn't cut through because of the layer of paper in the die.  So that's why you see seemingly debossed areas which would usually cut out.  It's a new technique that I plan to try again!

  

Behind the Tiara Rondelle is gold foil circle cut with Spellbinders Standard Circle LG, largest die.  The inner cream circle was cut with the next smaller die.  The gold circle is fastened with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser with inner circle fastened to it.  I cut another cream circle and cut the bride and groom (no outer die) from that circle.  I trimmed away paper around bride and groom and fastened them in place.  The whole Tiara Rondelle piece is popped up with 3D Foam Squares – White Mix to fasten to card front.
 

The "50" was cut from cream cardstock using outer die.  Gold foil was cut with outer die and filigree insert. I used Home and Hobby Dual Tip Glue Pen around the edges to fasten them together,  These are fastened to card with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

 

For the banner, I stamped "Anniversary" from Oh Happy Day set and heat embossed with gold.  Then I cut the banner centered over the stamped "anniversary".  I also cut banner from gold foil.  It was cut in half lengthwise and the pieces fastened behind banner with narrow reveal at top and bottom.  I did the same with banner tails. The tails are fastened to banner with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix. The banner is fastened to the card with 3D Foam Squares – White Mix stacked double along the bottom edge and only single on the tails.

 

Thank you so much for visiting! 

Have a creative day!

LOVE Wedding Card with Spellbinders Filigree Veil

Hey blog friends! 
Today, I'm sharing a "Love" Wedding card that I put together with Amazing Paper Grace Filigree Veil, Arched Swallowtail Pennants and Hemstitch Ovals. Little flowers were cut with die from Layered Happily Ever After.

 

I started with an idea to use Filigree Veil die cuts to form a pocket....and use Arched Swallowtail Pennants die cut as the tag.  And that's what I did! 
I've cut Filigree Veil out of white and the background out of Taffy cardstock.  It's mounted with 3D Foam Tape along sides and bottom to make pocket. Small Hemstitch Ovals fit behind opening and provide a place for 3 tiny flowers.

The tag is cut from white cardstock with Arched Swallowtail Pennants #4  (#1 being the smallest). Layers of white and Taffy decorative edge pieces decorate the top of tag which is the points of the Arched Swallowtail Pennant. A white and Taffy Hemstitch Oval #1 fill in behind.  Tag is 2 layers of white cardstock fastened together. 

Tiny peachy pink flowers decorate the pocket. Gold cord streamers fall from flowers.  Another flower is tucked under sheer bow and gold cord at top of tag. 
The card is single layer as the tag serves to provide space for verse and personal message.

Bundle of Joy Card

Sponsored:  A part of the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team, I am provided with dies to create projects. Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L provides adhesives.

Hello everyone!

I'm back with a Bundle of Joy Card!  It features Amazing Paper Grace Layered Bundle of Joy and Ornamental Arch – 3D Vignettes dies.

When I started working on this card, I wasn't sure how easy it would be to put the layers of Bundle of Joy together.  I was happy to find it was quite easy!  The hardest part was choosing colors to contrast with white words and stork.  I wanted a soft color combination, yet enough definition and contrast. I like how it turned out!
My white card base is 4.25 x 5.5 inches.  I covered the front with dotted paper using E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser to fasten it. The next layer is lime green patterned paper cut with outer arch die from Ornamental Arch – 3D Vignettes.  I cut Ornamental Arch filigree arch of white cardstock with outer die from Layered Bundle of Joy to cut inner opening.  Looking back, I could have left that solid as I covered it with a different patterned paper. It's fastened to lime background using E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser which applies a narrow adhesive strip that fits along the edges.   I cut an inner arch piece of a different patterned paper to put in center. 
The Stork and Bundle of Joy pieces are cut from white cardstock.  The stork one is fastened directly to the card.  Bundle of Joy is popped up with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.  I cut the small squares in half and put them along the edge. It's just enough dimension!  I cut the stork's bag out of dotted paper and fastened over the white one.  The rattle is cut from lime paper. It's popped up with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.  A tiny bow is held in place with  Adhesive Dots Mini

Simply mix up the colors for boy or girl!  A fun card to make!

Thanks for stopping!

Easter Lily Card with Ornamental Arch

Happy Easter!

Wishing you a glorious Easter Day!

Here's an Easter Lily Card that I made using Ornamental Arch and Grand Arch Card 3D.  I used a label from Oh Happy Day. 

I received these dies for being on the Amazing Paper Grace Design Team.

 

I found the stamped and colored lily in a box of scraps!  So appropriate for Easter.   I've been doing a lot of cleaning and sorting of stuff in my craft room this week.  I found the lily in a box of saved scraps.  All I had to do was fussy cut it out!  Perfect for an Easter card! I curled the petals for some dimension and used 3D Foam Squares under them to hold the shape and fasten it to the background. 

 

I chose to frame it with an arch piece cut with dies from Ornamental Arch and the inner arch die from Grand Arch 3D. I used a soft green under the white openwork arch.  I added a piece of peach paper behind it which I stamped with a script stamp from Penny Black.  I also used Distress Tattered Rose and Antique Linen ink on it.  It's popped up with 3D Foam Squares.  I cut white cardstock with Grand Card Arch 3D pattern die but not the outer die.  I simply cut the paper to fit my card. There's a layer of peach paper inked with Tattered Rose behind it.  That's matted onto a green mat. 

The label, cut from white cardstock, was inked through the die to give it pale peach color leaving white edges. The verse is stamped with Versafine Clair Fallen Leaves ink.  (Love the new Versafine Clair inks! The ink is so crisp and sticks well to clear stamps.)  I cut a second label of green cardstock.  I cut it end to end in half.  I used each half to add a border of green at top and bottom of the white label.  A ribbon threads through the holes and wraps to back.  It's popped up with 3D Foam Squares and 3D Thin Foam Squares layered on each other to give enough height over the arch with lily. 

 

May you have a blessed Easter Day! 

 

Judy
