Introducing the Amazing Paper Grace | Stained Glass Floral Bouquet

 

It's a miracle that little painted shards of glass can come together to create such beauty!!  The intriguing lure of Stained Glass has inspired artisans from around the world to try their hand at shuffling colors and shuffling shards of glass to create something lovely to gaze upon.  Today we are introducing the newest Amazing Paper Grace collection called Stained Glass Floral Bouquet, created for Spellbinders.

 

Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.

 

Stained Glass Floral Bouquet Inspiration

 

Becca says that the inspiration for the collection came from her love of stained glass and never being able to muster the time to do it with real glass.  Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too?  Now it's easy to create with paper!  It's amazing how you can give the same outline to a hand full of different artists and each will come up with a totally different look.

 

Stained Glass Floral Bouquet Collection

The Stained Glass Floral Bouquet Collection is made up of 7 different die sets.  They are sized for layering and include small designs all the way up to A7 designs with different frames that can make both A2 and A7 designs.  The collection boasts shadow dies for each set so that whenever you don't want a multicolor design, you can layer your "die-cut leading" onto one color.  The hallmark of the collection is a sweet stained glass flower and shadow in almost every set.  That gives you a background die and a central motif for each set.  

 

Attention "technique junkies" this collection is sweetly serenading you to try your favorite technique with the leading and the shards. 

 

     Here are ours:

  1. Fill each opening with a different color paper and add Glossy Accents.
  2. Ink on a hombre background before resetting your shards.
  3. Add a smidge of color in each opening with a Copic Marker.
  4. Use a different color leading - white, black, gold, silver.
  5. Build up tall leading with 4 layers and adhesive in between each.

 

My Projects for Today

 I have design a card and a tag using S6-170 with heat embossing technique.




This is 8" by 6" ready fold card.



I'm using prima marketing 12" x 12" Misty Rose paper collection.



My second project is a cute mini gift tag. I'm using Ranger Embossing powder to use heat embossing technique.




Designers Tip: Use tweezer while heat embossing to hold die cuts.

Mini 3D Vignette Floral Mason Jar - March 2021 Die of the Month



It doesn't take many steps past February to begin to ache for the stirrings of spring.  Blooming flowers are the earliest sign and we have something to get you started.  Today I'm introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for March 2021, Mini 3D Vignette Floral Mason Jar.

 

Becca Feeken of Amazing Paper Grace sent me these lovely dies to create with.


Imagine kicking rocks as you walk down a sweet rural road, on one of the first days the weather hints that the seasons are starting to change.  You pick wildflowers and rush home to put them into a jar of water to keep them perky for the days to come.  This is the inspiration that struck Becca when she put together the flower and mason jar combination.  It's so cute and sweet!!

This easy to assemble mason jar can contain anything, but today it holds layered flowers.  This flat side look is just like a real bouquet.  Glue them or layer them with foam tape to make a dramatic statement.  The mason jar can be left solid or cut like a frame for a shaker card the stems are simply threaded through each lid to secure them for arrangement.  If you're partial to flat cards, use the filigree band with two brads to hold your stems! This makes a lovely card front bouquet, complete with stems.



There are 16 dies included in the Mini 3D Vignette Floral Mason Jar
