    Let’s Get Squared Up – From Rectangle to Square Card

    January 20, 2018 / 14 Comments

    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…

    Floral Birthday Cards with Elena

    December 17, 2017 / 3 Comments

    Hello everyone. It’s Elena’s turn to share a couple of new projects this Sunday. The last 2 months I have been so very busy with Christmas cardmaking projects, I felt I needed to switch to something non Christmas, just to take a break from Winter, so I decided to create something that I like most of all – Floral cards. It seems that I am waiting for the Spring, though I haven’t had a chance to enjoy the Winter. However I felt that I miss the flowers, the birds singing and the best way to approach it is to start creating  something that you miss. For my cards I focused on Chantilly…

    Special Touches, in Under Ten Minutes: Memories, Forever!

    December 9, 2017 / 10 Comments

    Ever since they were littles, my kids knew I was the mom that loved the special touches.  When they were doing their science projects I hauled out all the die cutting machines to make encourage them to crank through crisp, readable letters.  You would not be wrong if you imagined that my kid was the one who had decorative corners in each edge of their science fair project or had a designerish flair somewhere that subtly let you know that someone in their life thought the little details were important.   Hi, I’m Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace and today I want to talk to you about ten minute ‘special touches’. I have a…

    Handmade Rose Cards with Elena

    November 26, 2017 / 5 Comments

    Hello everyone. I am Elena Olinevich and I have a set of handmade cards to share with you. These are feminine and delicate – these are the things that I like to follow/incorporate when making cards like these. You may have noticed I like to make several cards at once. Well, first of all I like testing how the dies look on different papers, I mix the colors and textures, that is why I create sets mostly. And of course, it was so difficult to try making only one card with the new Chantilly Paper Lace collection by Becca Feeken. I started by die cutting a beautiful frame from Bella Rose…

    Every time I get a new die, I size it up and look at all the pieces.  Most often people contemplate what they can do with the ‘main die’.  Well, there is treasure in the details because some of the runner ups in a die set have their own claim to fame.  Hi there, I’m Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace and  today I’m sharing a ”One Die” card  that gets that title because it makes use of a ‘Repeating Motif’!  A supporting die is perfect for this type of technique moreover it will have you thinking about about what else is in the package while vowing never to leave a die behind.

    Hello, everyone! This is Yana Smakula and thank you for joining me! This blog post and video continues the monthly feature I’m hosting on Spellbinders blog and Youtube channel called “Shaped Cards with Spellbinders”. Once a month I am posting a card and and video tutorial featuring a shaped card base using Spellbinders dies! You can catch the first episode from this series HERE. I started working on this card by creating a card base. I decided to use the largest die from the Bella Rose Lattice Layering Frame Large set – this die measures 5×7” inches so it makes a full size 5×7” card. There are several ways to…

    Card Front Dies Make a Lovely Gift Box and Card Ensemble

    October 14, 2017 / 114 Comments

    One of my favorite things to do when I first get to play with a card front die is to make it into a box and card ensemble.  Voila, everything matches!  I’ve done this many times over the years and to my delight, it was quite easy to make a top, box and card for a gift ensemble set out of a new card front die from my Chantilly Paper Lace Collection.  Hi there, I’m Becca Feeken with Amazing Paper Grace and  today I’m so tickled to be using new dies from my Chantilly Paper Lace Collection.  I’m going to get you thinking outside of the box here on the blog today and when…
