Amazing Paper Grace July Die of the Month Blog Hop

We are all so excited to get to show you a new Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month today.  For July Becca created Graceful Concertina.  It's a die that has tabs on the side so that you can link each panel together to make a concertina card.  Don't stop there though, there's much that can be made.  Cut the side tabs off to make a votive candle holder or a box or a book cover.  Please join us as we bring you more inspiration today on our hop.

With all of Becca's dies there is always so many more things that you can create besides just the obvious.  By layering it or just clipping it up and using it a different way you can make beautiful things to decorate your home, wow your friends and family. 

My Project Today:

My first project is a really fancy card that i created out of some brand new Pion papers that i got from the Frantic Stamper.   This die is so beautiful and the gorgeous window it has can be filled with a sentiment or even a picture like i found on these papers . The details in the die are exquisite and the little girls reminds me of a little angel....

If you have been hopping with all the other girls on the team you will see how versatile that this die really is and how pretty it looks when it is attached together in groups. 

My Second Project for today is:

This clear acetate box cover that i created by cutting the dies up just a little.  If you stop here enough you will see that i try to get all the miles i can from my dies and by cutting them up can do just that.

I took the arch die and cut 2 of them in white and then cut them in half and glued them together.  I glued that on my favorite Hemstitch Rectangle die to make the box top and added just the inside of the frame piece for the center.  And I didn't want to cover up all that beautiful detail so i stamped my sentiment on vellum and cut small photo corners to glue it down.  I really love this one.

I added lots of pretty flowers from my stash and a butterfly and then for the inside of the box i can fill it with treats and a gift card for my friend.  The papers are by Graphic 45 for this project.

Supply List:

Stamps:  Penny Black
Paper: Pion and Graphic 45 and Bazzill

Amazing Paper Grace May Die of the Month Blog Hop

Today for our Blog Hop we are all sharing our ideas with you using the brand new APG May Die of the Month from Becca Feeken.  This as you can see is a beautiful framed styled die that you can use for so many beautiful projects.  It kind of has a Art Deco feel for me so i used some muted silver paper for my frame and then layered silver printed vellum, white and more silver on the front for a kind of glamorous look.  The gorgeous satin bow and rhinestone button give it even more pizzaz.

And for the sentiment i chose something that is beautiful enough to save and keep up on a desk for a daily reminder to read each day.... I will have to find a pretty easel to send with it when i do.

Here is where you can get this gorgeous Die of the Month from Spellbinders...

Each month is a different new die with lots of inspiration for you.

My second Project to share for today is a fun Summer Journal that i made with the die.

Every summer i try and explore a new place and have a new adventure so i needed to make a new journal to record all the fun and memories in.  And this new die was perfect to add with my Simple Stories travel papers that i just ordered.  I had so much fun making this one and that beautiful double frame really adds alot to the front and all the little bits the paper collection had in it.

Here is a closeup so that you can see the frame and all the pretty details in it.... it would be so perfect for an invitation or maybe get ahead with Christmas and cut them for your family picture cards to send to everyone.  

  

So be sure and hop on over to all of our other teams blogs today for incredible inspiration for this months Die of the Month because you are going to be amazed!!
