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

A New Direction - Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team

 

Hello friends! 

 

Today, I have a "good friends" canvas to share!  I created this for a new creative venture.  I'm excited to be part of Becca Feeken's Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team!!! 

I am so blessed to have this incredible opportunity!  Thanks Becca! 

If you aren't familiar with Becca's work, here's a link to her blog, Amazing Paper Grace. 

Lots of amazing inspiration there! 

 

 

I painted this mini 4 x 5 canvas with Vintage chalk paint.  Then I added the die cut pieces.  All were cut from white cardstock and inked with Iced Spruce Distress Oxide ink.  Because this die cut is much longer than the canvas, I've cut it to make it fit.  Those cuts are hidden under the tiny tags on each side.  I used these Spellbinders dies from Becca's Amazing Paper Grace designs:

Annabelle's Trousseau Layering Frame

Graceful Tiny Tag

Cinch and Go Flowers

 

Here's a photo showing where I cut apart the die cut pieces.  I apologize for the lighting.

 

 

I stamped the verse on white tissue paper and clear heat embossed it. I placed it on the canvas over wet paint.  The tissue sort of melted into the paint. The color came right through with a tiny shadowy look.  Adds to the vintage look!

The tiny flowers were die cut, colored with markers and shaped before gluing to the frame.  Oh, there's pearl cotton threaded through the frame with tiny pearls between. 

 

 

So happy to share this with you!!!

Thank you so much for stopping by!

 

Be Creative,

Judy

Stars and Stripes Centerpiece

 

Hello blog friends!

Today, I'm sharing a Stars and Stripes centerpiece created for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Paper House® Productions Blog Co-Hop.  Check out Scrapbook Adhesives Blog  and Paper House Blog for more creative inspiration!  There are prizes!



My Stars and Stripes centerpiece features Paper House® Let Freedom Ring Washington DC Paper Crafting Collection along with products from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® ,

My inspiration for this project was the flags square which is from Paper House® Let Freedom Ring Washington DC Paper Crafting Collection.  I added "Stars and Stripes" from the sticker sheet.  Then I covered it with a clear acetate square from the collection which is fastened in the corners with DODZ™ Adhesive Dots Mini. I used dots of Imagine Crafts/Tsukineko Neon Amplify! to hide them.  The stars are from the  3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit.  So easy to add the foil to the adhesive on the stars!  Love the shiny red!!!

To fasten it to a painted skewer, I first die cut a star from paper with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6ʺ applied to back side.

 

I placed a strip of Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½ʺ on back of flag square.  Then placed the skewer over it and added another strip Extreme Double-Sided Tape ½ʺ. 

Finally, I fastened the star over the skewer to finish the back side.

 

The center star pick was made with paper with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6ʺ applied to the back and die cut.  I added a 3D Foam Stars and applied foil to it.  The center blue star is a sticker.

The circle pick and flag one are made from stickers with paper backing.  I applied Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6ʺ to some of the papers from Paper House® Let Freedom Ring Washington DC Paper Crafting Collection.  Then I cut them to fit behind the stickers.  A painted skewer is sandwiched between.  Hope that makes sense!

The small stars were die cut with Spellbinders Pierced Stars dies from paper fastened to white 3D Creative Sheets.  It cuts easily and gives dimension to the stars.  I've used 2 stars back to back over a painted toothpick. I added small foiled 3D Foam Stars to the front.

The red foil star was cut from 3D Creative Sheets.  Then it was fastened over a toothpick to another star with paper backing.  The foil was then applied to it.

My base is a clay pot that I painted with DecoArt Americana Décor Chalky Finish Paint. A long border sticker from Paper House® Let Freedom Ring Washington DC Paper Crafting Collection fits around the pot.  It was the perfect size just lapping in the back!  I wrapped Home and Hobby Premium Double-Sided Tape ⅛ʺ Permanent around the pot and then fastened the ribbon to it.  Otherwise, the ribbon kept sliding down the pot.  The pot is filled with white sand with blue marbles on top.  (I covered the hole in the pot with packing tape.)

 

Thanks for visiting!

Winter Thank You Cards with Scrapbook-Adhesives/BoBunny Blog Hop

Hello!  Today, I'm participating in a Blog Hop with BoBunny and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L. You can find more inspiration for this hop on the Scrapbook Adhesives Blog or BoBunny Blog!  The hop started on Monday so be sure to look at older posts to see all the projects!

 I've put together 3 quick thank you cards with BoBunny® Winter Wishes Papers, Combo Stickers. Noteworthy collection.  This collection has a soft muted color theme.  I really like it!  It's a perfect match to the winter colors here in Minnesota.   I chose to make Thank You cards with hopes of needing a few after the holidays!  wink!

 

All three cards have a white card base.  I've fastened various papers from BoBunny Winter Wishes collection of 12 x 12 papers to the card fronts with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser.  I love the muted color theme of this collection!  I used stickers from the Combo set for the two "Thanks" cards.  So easy! Just stick them to a contrast paper mat and fasten to the card!  I've added pieces from the Noteworthy set plus a few sequins as embellishments.

I used 3D Foam Creative Sheets applied to the back of pink paper to give my die cut Thank You and Thanks dimension on two of the cards.  The foam compresses as it goes through a die cut machine and cuts easily. Often the adhesive backing doesn't cut completely so I lift the die with the die cut in place if I can.  Then I remove it gently from the die. It's so easy to fasten to my card front with the adhesive backing.

 The third card has the same Thanks die cut only cut with Adhesive Sheets 4 x 6ʺ applied to the back of the paper before die cutting.  This makes the die cut a sticker without dimension. 

 

I've used DODZ™ Adhesive Dots Mini to fasten sequins to the cards.  The Noteworthy snowflakes and button shapes are popped up with Thin 3D Foam Squares – Mix White.  I also used them under the matted image to pop it up.

 

On the card that says "Thank You", I added 2 strips of Girlie Grunge Twine.  I used E-Z Runner® Micro Refillable Dispenser to apply a line of adhesive to hold the twine.  It was perfect width for 2 pieces of twine.  I fastened the bow with DODZ™ Adhesive Dots Mini which I rolled to fit the bow. 

 

 Thanks for visiting today!  Sending you Winter Wishes wherever you are! 

Judy
