Introducing Amazing Paper Grace - A Charming Christmas | Blog Hop

Sponsored:  As a designer on the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team,, I am provided with dies to create projects. 

Tis the season to be jolly!  Even though it is only August, Christmas will be here in the blink of an eye.  I'm sure you are already listing out all the cards and gifts you're gonna make, right?  This year Becca of Amazing Paper Grace has designed a Christmas Collection - A Charming Christmas - for Spellbinders and we have a hop today to show you all the goodies and things we've made.  You can see the entire collection -----> HERE.

About A Charming Christmas Collection
Sweet little charms are so fun to play with, they can be dangled off of gifts, dangled off of cards and used in 3D Projects - they are just like the icing on the cake.  You will see that the "holiday" part of most of the sets in this collection have a Charm to personalize them - they are sized the same so you can mix and match them through your projects!  Here's the big deal: Outside of the charms and embellishments you add to make these dies Christmas, separately they can be used all year-round!! Yep, we're all budget shoppers too and want to get the most use out of a die!

Join us as each Creative Team member shares their creations with two dies from the collection.  Don't forget, each of us will be giving away an Amazing Paper Grace die pulled from the comments - one from each blog. The prize details are at the bottom of my post.  So, without further ado let me talk about the dies I get to introduce:

My Projects today:

First up is Yuletide Snowflakes

These are such intricate snowflake designs!  Love how delicate they are!  Each one is beautiful by itself or layered to make different snowflakes!  The large snowflake on my card is two layers as well as the white snowflake.  All my snowflakes were cut from white cardstock with Adhesive Sheets applied to top side.  Once cut, I removed the adhesive backing and sprinkled with glitter, some blue and some Prisma glitter.  My pictures really don't do justice to the sparkle of these snowflakes!

Second up is Christmas Postman

This was a fun stamp and die set for me to work with.  I sold and used many stamps in my years working at the Post Office.  I chose to use all 4 stamp images for my stamps.  They can easily be mixed and matched!  Each one was stamped with black ink on white cardstock.  Then I added background color around the image and touches of color on each image with markers.  The frame was cut from white cardstock with Adhesive Sheets on back.  My "postage stamps" are layered over Kraft cardstock with Merry Christmas repeatedly stamped over it.  I added the postmark cut from black cardstock with Adhesive Sheets applied to the back side.  That makes it easy to fasten to card.....simply peel adhesive backing and press in place!  I added a bit of twine like an old fashioned package.  My card is 5 x 7 inches. 

Availability:

These dies are available right now on the Spellbinders website ----- HERE
