Amazing Paper Grace February Die of the Month Blog Hop

Sponsored:  As a designer for Amazing Paper Grace, I receive dies to create projects.  

 

Are you ready to be inspired?  Every month we love bringing you inspiration for the Die of the Month and today is our Die of the Month Blog Hop for February!!   If you have the die, we'd love for you to be able to make multiple things that perhaps you haven't thought of yet.  Stroll through the list of links at the bottom and maybe, just maybe, your next project is at one of those links!

The Enchantment Tall Flip and Gatefold Card Die Set natively makes into a tall gatefold card or a tent card by way of the unique base.  It is much like the December Die of the Month in that respect, but we wanted to give you a tall version.  Chalked full of extra pieces that include rims and unique inlays, these intricate motifs can be used in any number of ways.  If you do nothing more than to create a frame, there are four corner pieces that will help you do that.   The patterns are so delicate and romantic and we've found them to be a charming change of pace.

If you are new to our blogs, the Die of the Month is an exclusive die Becca designed for Spellbinders - it is called the Enchantment Tall Flip and Gatefold Card Die Set.  

This particular set has 9 dies and they can be used to make a gatefold card, a tent card, a background, a slip-in card frame with decorative corners, a basket, a purse . . . and the list goes on, while the individual dies in the set can be used for many things.  As always, there are sweet flowers included!  It's available until February 28th and then we make way for the March Die of the Month!

My Card Today:

For my card, I chose to use one half of rectangle along with large cut-out design. I cut a complete rectangle of dark blue and then cut along the center fold line made by the die. Adhesive Sheets was applied to the back before die cutting to make it easy to fasten in place over my decorative paper background.  I fussy cut out the center rectangle - easy to do because there are only small pieces that hold it in place. I hand cut a white mat to fit behind it. Its fastened to card with 3D Foam Squares.  The rectangle with the verse was cut with a die in this set that cuts nice curved corners and fits perfectly over the center rectangle. It's fastened with Thin 3D Foam Squares.  If you look closely, you'll see that I added decorative pieces to the corners of the dark blue piece.  Those I made by cutting each one with decorative corner die aligned with a corner of piece of dark blue paper.  Then I fussy cut along the curved edge.  It was quite easy as the die left an impression that I could follow.  

Don't you just love those little flowers?  I cut all of those from white cardstock, rubbed three different colors of Distress Oxide inks over them, misted with water and shaped them while they were damp. (I posted some photos of those on Instagram. Search for #judesigns7)  Once dry, I poked a hole in the center to thread the flower stamens through and glued them in place.  They are all fastened to the card with Adhesive Dots.  I tucked in a white satin bow with pearl stick pin, little happy birthday tags and added pearls along the upper corner of the verse.  This card is 4.5 x 7.25 inches with white card base.
