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!

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.

"I AM" Mini Album with Grand Arch 3D Card

Hi everyone! 
I'm back with a mini album created with Grand Arch 3D Card – 3D Vignettes from Becca Feeken's Amazing Paper Grace dies by Spellbinders.  This album is called "I AM" Mini Album.

It's created with Amazing Paper Grace Grand Arch 3D Card – 3D Vignettes for base of the album.  I've added hand sewn page signatures between the Grand Arch 3D Card pages.  I also used Ornamental Arch – 3D Vignettes, Cinch and Go Flowers III – 3D Vignettes, Cinch and Go Flowers and Arched Swallowtail Pennants.

Here are the pages, covers and spine pieces. 

 

 



The tabs are cut off of the covers and pattern paper for the covers.

I made sewn book signature pages of drawing paper to add between the divider pages.

Five pieces of paper cut 8 ⅜ʺ x 4 ⅞ʺ make up each signature, three signatures in the mini album. Each signature was scored, folded and holes poked in fold.  Holes that match in spacing were added to spine piece of album.  Each signature was sewn into spine between cuts for divider pages.  I recommend making hole spacing so center hole isn't next to cut slots.  I didn't think of that soon enough so it was a little hard to put tabs into the spine.

Here you can see stitching of signatures into spine.

 

 

Here's what the pages look like before adding dividers into the slots.

 

I next added the divider pages. 

 

 



The tabs were secured to the spine with Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ in. 

 

 

 

Then black check paper was fastened over spine to hide tabs.  Again I used Extreme Double-Sided Tape ¼ in at edges to secure it well. 

 

 

 

 Patterned paper was fastened to front covers using Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12 inch applied to each piece. 

 

The front cover is decorated with an arched frame cut with Ornamental Arch – 3D Vignettes. I cut two and fastened them together for more dimension.  A solid lighter color paper is behind it.

 

 

The piece with "thankful, grateful, blessed" was cut with Arched Swallowtail Pennants #3 (#1 being smallest). It was trimmed to fit.  I used the label from Grand Arch 3D Card – 3D Vignettes across the bottom popped up with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

 

 

 

Little flowers cut with Cinch and Go Flowers #1 and #2 frame the label, each fastened with DODZ™ Adhesive Dots Medium.  Each flower has a center made with 2 DODZ™ Adhesive Dots Medium on top of each other and covered with embossing powder (not heated).  A few leaves cut with leaf stem from Cinch and Go Flowers III – 3D Vignettes are tucked in behind flowers.  Knotted seam binding is fastened with DODZ™ Adhesive Dots Medium also.

 

 

 

I added patterned paper to each divider page on both sides, again using Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12 inch to apply adhesive. 

 

Here's the page inside the front cover:

 



I made a pocket cut with arch frame from Ornamental Arch – 3D Vignettes.  Arch part is folded down  showing  paper back pattern.  A journal page is tucked into it.

Here's another divider page....
 

 

The "I Am" page is from Simple Stories I AM Vertical Elements.  I cut the words from that page and popped them up with Thin 3D Foam Squares White Mix.

Another divider page...

Another arched frame cut with Ornamental Arch – 3D Vignettes.  Little flowers and leaves along the side.

Inside the back cover...

 

On the left is a pocket with slide out journaling card.  Inside the back cover, is a flip page made with pieces cut with arched die from Grand Arch 3D Card – 3D Vignettes.  I cut decorative paper with Arched Swallowtail Pennants and trimmed them to fit.  Another small flower decorates the top. 
I hope you enjoyed this I AM Mini Album tutorial. I love making handmade books!  This was fun to put together and decorate. 

Be sure to check out Becca's Amazing Paper Grace blog post on February 27, 2018.  She'll show all the books made by Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team.  Loads of inspiration!

Thanks so much for visiting!

Happy Creating!

INTRODUCING AMAZING PAPER GRACE – 3D VIGNETTES

 

 

Welcome friends, today we are introducing a new die collection by Becca Feeken for Spellbinders called 3D Vignettes.

3D Vignettes is a series of dies that can be included in a Grand Base die to create 3D upright cards that folds down flat to go into an envelope - a collapsible tunnel card!  You can see it in action in the 1.5 minute video ------> HERE.

Where these Vignettes are unique, is the ability to die cut or not die cut each and every layer for an ethereal see through dimensional creation.  The collection was designed to cut out whole or to be cut out inlaid for inclusion in a Grand Base.  The collection centers around three themes - baby, love and birthday, and today we show you traditional uses but with a little dreaming, only the sky is the limit.

The dies and elements can be used as standalones or in the Grand Base. There is a good degree of mix and match ability across the entire collection.  The other designers have made three cards to show you how easy it is to isolate different sets or combine them all into one, they are:

• The Simple Card - There are two layering dies which can be used as inserts or used on their own in regular cards.
• The Embellished Card - There is a set of shaped dies, these add drama or can be used on their own in regular cards.
• The Decked Out Card - There is a 3D Grand Card, standing, yet collapsible, made for use with purchased inserts or to use with dies from your own stash

By now you've seen all the dies in the collection.  I'm going to take some of those same dies and flip the script a little bit.  I've created an "Oh Happy Day" mini album with Grand Cabinet Card dies. The pages are assembled on the left side same as a card, then the tabs are secured flat and covered with cardstock to make the album binding. I simply snipped off the tabs on the outer edge of each page. The covers were cut of light cardboard, plus 110 lb. cardstock and patterned paper.  Each page base is 110 lb. cardstock with decorative papers covering both sides.  Two pages have frames open at top to tuck in photos, two pages have flip pages for multiple mini photos, or journaling, and in back is a pocket to store memorabilia. Three of the same pages have pockets on the side edge with inserts peeking out, a place to journal. The cover is decorated with the beautiful intricate border from Grand Cabinet Card layered over peach paper and then over script paper.  It's embellished with tiny paper flowers, gold leaves and a silk bow.  "Oh Happy Day" was cut from black cardstock multiple times and layered for dimension, then rubbed with gold metallic wax.  I love how this turned out!  What fun to make it to celebrate a special happy day!

The sets I'm using today  S6-139 Grand Cabinet Card, S4-867 Cinch and Go III, SDS-116 Oh Happy Day

"So Sweet" Scrapbook Page

.............is one of my very favorite scrapbook pages that I've created!  

This sweet baby is Kiresa, granddaughter of Kim who is education director for Spellbinders.  She was so kind to share the photo so I could put together a "baby" layout!  This layout was featured on the TV show Scrapbook Soup with Stacey Caron!  She did an awesome job showing the embossing!You can see the video clip here -

http://www.scrapbookmemoriestv.com/projects/SS_200/211/Scrapbook_Soup_211-4.htm

All the little embossed and inked squares remind me of soft pink flannel!  They are so easy to make with Spellbinder™ M-Bossabilities folders.  I rubbed ink lightly over the embossing to highlight the patterns.  There are 3 different embossed patterns.  You can find all the details at the above link.

The little tags that spell Kiresa's name are fastened to the end of a journaling tag. It slides out and lists all her birth details.

You'll find a list of all the supplies and directions, too, on Scrapbook Soup.  Check it out here!

Thanks for stopping! 

Have a creative day!

Mia with Glasses

I love this photo of Mia!   When I saw it I immediately wanted to use it on a scrapbook page.  She's such a little cutie!!!



I don't often do "bright" but I love how it turned out.

Scrapbooking & Beyond published it in their 2012 Spring issue.  My very first scrapbook page published!!!  What an honor!

Lots of bright colored flowers are scattered across the page.  Each one is sanded to reveal the white of the paper and the petal edges. Each center is a Craftworks Cards Candi dot!

You can find more details in the magazine which is still available online.

Happy Creating!

Birthday Circles Card

Today, I have a fairly quick card to create with Spellbinders™  Splendid Circles! 

The three larger circles were cut and embossed all at one time by nesting the die templates together.  I sanded the paper lightly to highlight the embossed areas.  These circles have such great detail!  They're one of my favorites!

The card front was embossed with a new Spellbinders M-Bossabilitites™ embossing folder.  This pattern is called Elite.  The great thing about these folders is that they emboss 2 different patterns depending on how the folder is folded!  You can see all the different folders on  the Spellbinders website.

To assemble the card, I fastened the circles together with 3D Foam Squares from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L.  Then I wrapped a short piece of the ribbon around the circles and fastened it together on the back.  I tied a separate bow and attached it to circles with a Glue Dot.  Much easier than trying to wrap the ribbon around the circles and then tie the bow!!!

I cut the narrow flag from Spellbinders Nautical Frame and Accents from white card stock.  Then I stamped the birthday verse on it in black ink.  I tied it to the bow with cord.   Finally all is mounted on the card front with 3D Foam Squares under the ribbon and under the verse.

Pretty easy, huh?

For a different look, the Splendid Circles could easily be cut from multiple colors of paper.   Cut 3 sets and mix and match to make 3 coordinating cards!

Happy Creating!

Happy Easter!

Wishing you all a glorious Easter Day!

This scrapbook page seemed perfect to share today!

These are some of my favorite photos of my granddaughter, Alyssa!  She was so cute in her Easter dress hunting for Easter eggs on the church lawn.  I really like how the wind twirled her skirt in the center photo. 

I chose 3 - 4 x 6" photos for this page. I've cut the edges of each one with the largest die template from Spellbinders™ S5-090 Romantic Rectangles.  It's the perfect size!  And adds such a nice touch!  Into each corner, I looped some sheer ribbon and fastened the ends behind the photo.  I added a pearl between the loops which makes it resemble a bow.

The border at the bottom of the page is made up of 5 of Spellbinders new Cut-Fold-Tuck shapes.  This one is from S5-011 Angle Approach.  It's the medium size shape in the set. I cut five of them from a soft mint colored paper from Echo Park that has a pink pattern on the back side. When the folds are made, the pink back side of the paper is visible.  I layered each Cut-Fold-Tuck square over a square of pink paper to show through the openings.  Each one is layered over a white square.  I added a tiny pearl from Want2Scrap to the center of each one.

At the very bottom and top of the page, there's a border of diamonds.  I used Spellbinders ES-001 Simplicity M-Bossabilities to emboss that pattern.  I cut the narrow strip of paper first.  Then I aligned it with one row of diamonds in the Simplicity M-Bossabilities folder and embossed it.  I repeated this process moving the strip in the folder until I had the whole thing embossed.  I sanded it lightly to bring out a little of the white core of the paper on the embossed edges.

The title letters were cut with the Spellbinders PP-001 Presto Punch using PT-F01 Plain Jane Capital and PT-F02 Plain Jane (Lower Case) alphabets.  I cut them from white Fun Foam and pink paper.  I glued the paper to the foam letters making my own dimensional letters!

I added a line of journaling under the title.  It's hand printed on a strip of vellum which recedes into the background of the page.

 

Have a wonderful Easter Day celebrating our risen Saviour!

A Fun Birthday Card

Here's a card I created for the March PageMaps newsletter. 

This card features the postage shape from a new Spellbinders set designed by Becky Fleck called S4-359 Office Supplies. Each month Becky is releasing a new set.  Office Supplies was released for February.   A new set was just released for March.  You can see it on the PageMaps or Spellbinders websites. 

If you'd like to see the March newsletter with more cards and scrapbook pages, click here.  Many of the Spellbinders DT created cards for the newsletter.

For this card, I used paper from Echo Park's Little Boy Collection except for one of the solid colors which is from the Little Girl collection.  The little stars were cut with a die template from Spellbinders S5-089 Home Sweet Home.  I love to sand the edges to bring out the white paper core. 

The pennant is from Spellbinders S5-029 Nested Lacey Pennants.  The birthday greeting is from Flourishes Birthday Pennants.  I stamped it with Ranger Denim ink and clear embossed it.  I've added a little knot of floss to the pennant and each star.

This was a fun card to put together!  I never work from a sketch so it was a new challenge.  It's certainly easier to just pick out the papers and then follow the sketch!   Of course, I did agonize over it a bit!!!  That's just me!

Have a super day!
