Amazing Paper Grace March Die of the Month Blog Hop

Do you ever suffer from blank page syndrome?  Or you clear your schedule and your table and sit down to make a card, and then bam - your mind goes blank.  That's why we're here!  We love bringing you inspiration for the Die of the Month and today is our Die of the Month Blog Hop for March.  

Since we all see things differently, it's our aim to show you how each of us approached designing with this die and the lovely pieces that are a part of it.  Our hope is that you snag a picture or two for your inspiration file and they come in handy next time you sit down to create.  Our list of links at the bottom of the post lead to all the inspiration.

The six pieces that make up Spun Blessings Oval combine to make a card front die, perfect for a background or you can creatively use all of the inlays for either accents or borders.  You may have noticed, it's a big die but the better to make alternative designs like the little baskets that help to create an ensemble.

My first project is a Card and box:

When you get a set of dies there is a set pattern that Becca designs for us to see and of course it is always out of the park Amazing.... but sometimes it is fun to get more milage from a die set and that is when you can use the pieces in the set other ways like i did with my card.  It's really simple and easy to do just by taking the top and bottom pieces and taping them together to cut and emboss a window on a piece of card stock. 

I added clear acetate behind my cutout to give it more support and then i cut the hemstitch rectangle out of a beautiful piece of peach printed paper and matted it with white, grey and more white.  The flowers are also from Spellbinders and the Thank you stamp is from Penny Black.

And for my little box i used the same papers and this time i used the sides to cut our a square for the top and then used the tag to stamp and lay across the center.  This almost looks like an old fashioned church window and since it has so much detail already i only needed to add a few flowers and ribbon.

My second idea for today is: 

This stationery set

One of my favorite gifts ever was a set of stationery and envelopes inside a pretty decorated folder.  This die is the perfect cover idea for that book.  I used gorgeous shades of purple and lavender and grey to create this folder and then cut my dies out of the same and added silver to really set it off.  The flowers I made from our newest Cinch and Go flower set and inked them to give them more depth.  

And of course i added lots of pearls and rhinestones to really jazz it up.  I love this set and as you will see as you hop around to all the other talented ladies on our team, there really is some amazing things that you can do with it.  Below is a peek at the inside of it.
