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 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 matchability across the entire collection.  I've 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

The sets I'm introducing today are S4-582 Layered Bundle of Joy, S5-340 Ornamental Arch, S6-138 Grand Arch Card

 Oh my oh my. How I adore this die collection! The 3D bases are so much easier to assemble than you could imagine. The results give a truly unique looking card. All the elements can be used together or individually to create many different looks. This is my first time making 'Baby' cards and I so enjoyed doing them. I could gush endlessly about these sets!! Just hop over to the other Creative Team members blogs to be wowed by some truly wonderful creations.

Have a Wonderful Retirement

Hello again friends and visitors.

I must apologise for my not posting as usual on Tuesday. I've had a bit of a stressful week following my surgery but, hopefully, everything seems to be getting back on track.

Well the weather has been extremely cold and wet here. Not very helpful when you've had surgery on your nose and have to wear a bandage which very quickly gets wet.....and very cold!

I've had a few funny looks when I've ventured out but I think I may be able to leave the bandage off as of now. You'd never tell I'd had anything done, which is a great bonus as I was rather concerned that it may alter the shape.

Anyhow, I had better get on and reveal today's card.

No Romance this week but something pretty never the less.

The supplies used here are

* Coconut White, Sage Green and Pink cardstock from my stash

* Indigo Blue Floral Swirl Stamp

* Versamark watermark stamp pad

* Crafts-Too A4 Spot Embossing Folder

* Spellbinders 5x7 Matting Basics A

* Spellbinders Long Classic Rectangles

* Bronte Charm 8x8 Paper Pack

* Make and Create Border Die

* Amazing Paper Grace/Spellbinders Decorative Swallowtail Tags

* Cheery Lynn Fanciful Flourish Left

* Crafters Companion Shabby Chic Filigree Flourish

* Spellbinders Rose Creations

* Pearls and stamens from my stash

* Decorative chalks to colour the flowers

* A touch of Flower Soft

* Freebie sentiment stamp 

I love using the Bronte Charm papers, a gift from my Daughter so I try to use it sparingly!

I challenged myself to use only one die set for the flowers whilst trying to make them all a little different.

I decided to use the Indigo Blue flourish stamp as the green background just needed something other than the embossing.

Well there you have todays card. I do hope you like it.

For those who are following my SW journey, I gave weigh-in a miss this week but I shall be there again next week!

Thank you so much for popping in today. It's a Blog Hop week for the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team next week, so be sure to stop by again for that.

Have a fabulous weekend dear friends and take care,

Jo xx
