True Friend Blessings Card

Happy Day!  Here's a True Friend Blessings Card made with beautiful dies from Amazing Paper Grace.  Love the detailed swirly background on this die from S5-364 Corner Cotillion! It includes the 2 flowers, a leaf, oval, edge die and the swirly background.  I've used the oval from S5-365 Sweetheart Swirl for the verse.  It's a perfect fit!

The die set S5-364 Corner Cotillion is part of the Card Creator line from Spellbinders, A2 card size.  My card measures 4.75 x 6 inches.  I used the edge die, design swirl die and the oval die to cut the gray part. It's fastened to cornflower blue mat cut just a little bigger for a narrow reveal at the edge.  The pieces are fastened together using E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser which has a narrow adhesive strip. Both are fastened to a white card base.

The verse oval is cut with oval from S5-365 Sweetheart Swirl.  I like how it coordinates with the oval from Corner Cotillion!  I stamped the verse with Versafine Clair Morning Mist which is a gray ink. The stamp is from Penny Black.  The oval is popped up slightly with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.  

I cut the flowers and leaves from white cardstock.  They are colored with Distress Oxide inks.  The flower centers are filled with Nuvo Crystal Drops "Buttermilk" and sprinkled with glitter when it was wet.  Flowers are fastened with Adhesive Dots Medium and leaves are kept a bit dimensional with 3D Foam Squares – White Mix. I added a bow of seam binding below the flowers held in place with Adhesive Dots Medium.

Thank you so much for visiting!

Today, I'm sending "Best Wishes to You! with this card.   It features Amazing Paper Grace dies Trefoil Crest, Hemstitch Squares, and  Curvy Labels.  It's a layering of die cut shapes and a few pearls.

To make this card, I cut Trefoil Crest from dark green cardstock. It's layered over off white cardstock cut with Curvy Labels. I cut a smaller size of Curvy Labels for the verse. It's stamped with a verse from Penny Black "grateful heart" stamp set using Versafine Clair Shady Lane ink.  I really like using color for my verses instead of black.  Versafine Clair ink stamps so crisply!  I used my Misti to stamp this verse multiple times to get it darker.

The verse label is popped up with 3D Foam Squares – White Mix.  The next layer is light green cardstock cut with largest die from Hemstitch Squares. It's layered over an off white square cut just a little bigger.  The assembled verse piece is layered onto the Hemstitch Square with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix for just a little dimension. The patterned paper is from Carta Bella Spring Market collection. A piece of silk ribbon wraps across it and is fastened in the back with E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser .  Ultra really holds so it's great for ribbon!  Next, it's fastened to a 6 x 6 inch card using adhesive from E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser .  Little pearls accent the verse and Trefoil Crest.

And that completes the card!

Elegant Swirl Birthday Card

Sponsored:  As a designer on the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team,, I am provided with dies to create projects. I'm also a designer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and receive product from them.

Good Morning!  It's Sunday and time for another Amazing Paper Grace project.  Today, I've used Sweetheart Swirl dies along with Cascading Grace to make an Elegant Swirl Birthday Card.

 

I've used Cougar Natural cardstock for 5 x 7 inch card base. The layers from card up are shiny gold metallic cardstock, then Cougar Natural.  Next is a green shaped layer cut with Cascading Grace

outer edge die.  Layered onto it are die cut pieces at the corners.  These were cut with a label die from Cascading Grace.  I cut each label in half to use each end at a corner.  The paper had Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6 inch applied to the back before cutting.  That makes it so easy to fasten it in place on my card! The cut ends of the labels are covered by swirl oval.

 



I used the edge die from Sweetheart Swirl to cut patterned paper. I really like that I can use just the edge die to cut a solid piece for a mat behind the design oval!  The swirl pattern piece was cut with the edge die and design die.  The layers are fastened together with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser.    It's popped up on the card with 3D Foam Squares – White Mix . I cut  the oval center piece with die from Sweetheart Swirl out of natural paper.  It's stamped with Fallen Leaves ink using a stamp from Penny Black 'sprigs' set.  It's popped up with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

The medallion piece from Sweetheart Swirl was cut from shiny gold metallic cardstock.  I added a large pearl to the center.  Love how pretty it looks cut from the gold paper!  It's fastened with Adhesive Dots Medium Ultra Thin over three pieces of sheer ribbon, green and aqua. I've also added a bow of gold threads behind the medallion. The ribbon ends are tucked behind the gold rectangle mat.

I hope I've given you some inspiration today!
Thanks so much for stopping!

Special Friend Birthday Card wtih Gold Accents

Sponsored:  As a designer on the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team,, I am provided with dies to create projects. I'm also a designer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and receive product from them.

Today I have a Special Friend Birthday Card with Gold Accents to share.  This card showcases a die cut frame cut with S5-369 Ringlet Round from gold metallic card stock.  Corner accents were cut from the same paper using a die from S5-367 Swirl Tags. I've used navy ribbon, navy cardstock and  a grayish tan patterned background paper.

To make this card, I cut gold cardstock with S5-369 Ringlet Round using the edge die, design die and the inner edge die.  Navy silk ribbon is loosely woven through the pattern and tied at the side.  I used the inner die to cut a piece of patterned Echo Park paper for the center.  A Penny Black verse is stamped with Versafine Clair Twilight.  I added a touch of shading around the edges with Distress Pumice Stone ink. I centered the gold frame on square of patterned paper and fastened it with E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser.  The verse is popped up and fastened with 3D Foam Squares – Black Mix.

I cut 4 pieces of the gold cardstock with one of the decorative dies from S5-367 Swirl Tags. I slipped each one over the corners and added a pearl.  These layers are fastened to navy cardstock using 

E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. I use the Ultra on the corners and the Dots along the edges.  The next layer is same patterned paper as center, also shaded along edges with Distress Pumice Stone ink.  All are fastened to a 6 x 6 inch white card.

I added 3 pearls under verse. A gold button with pearl center is fastened over gold cord bow and over the navy bow with Adhesive Dots 3D . 

A very special card for a special friend - a Special Friend Birthday Card with Gold Accents!
