3D Vignettes | From 3D to Flat & Fabulous
3D Vignettes is meant to be dimensional but there’s no rule saying you can’t go from 3D to Flat and Fabulous! Hi there friends, I’m Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace – I designed the 3D Vignettes Collection and today I want to show you a background I created from taking two panels, snipping them and building them around a focal point.

Hi friends! Welcome to my final DIY Party Décor series post. I’m Debi Adams, an in-house designer at Spellbinders and celebrations are my favorite.

It doesn’t need to be fancy or expensive to be expressive and personal. There are truly numerous ways to make a gift sparkle but for today, I have three different designs or embellishments that you can create using felt and only three dies. Jar Topper The first project is a jar topper where…

Let’s Get Squared Up – From Rectangle to Square Card
I always want to get the most out of my die templates, so I thought about taking a large rectangle card front and squaring it up to give it a different look. I’m Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace and my card today takes a simple rectangle die, cuts it up and reassembles it as a square card. By doing that, I’ve kept my favorite parts of the die and have created a new look in the process. Last year one of the dies I introduced was the S6-112 Graceful Frame Maker. This die takes a panel of paper and miters it into four identical pieces. You want to do this with a symmetrical…

Spring Flowers, April Showers
If you’re like me, I’m finding myself thankful to be putting away the Christmas Paper while reaching for something that harkens spring. I’m Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace and spring is on my mind. Indeed, Spring Flowers, April Showers! A touch of vintage paper, lace and flowers was enough to get me dreaming of flower gardens beginning to bloom. For my card today I started with a 5 1/2″ x 7 – 1/2 base out of cream – this is my favorite size of card. I assemble the base from one 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheet of cardstock cut in half at 5 -1/2″.

Floral Cards with Die D-Lites
Hello, this is Elena and I am excited to be back sharing a few cards I have made recently. I adore Fall and not only orange, yellow and pumpkin colors appear in my mind when I think about Autumn time. I think that deep olive, fuchsia, any shades of purple – rich colors are great this season too. So it’s a good chance to color our life too. I made a couple of cards using Daisies from the Flower Power set. It was fun to die cut flowers from textured cardstock of different colors. Usually I make plenty of them in advance, and more than I need for the current project,…
