I have a Card to share today featuring the Spellbinders + Amazing Paper Grace May Die of the Month. This month's "Fleur de Lis Grandeur Fold Over" Set is perfect for making exquisite cards, boxes, envelopes, and more.

I love the Fleur de Lis design, and in fact, it was one of the first border punch designs that I bought when I started papercrafting. I am so thrilled that Becca decided to design this beautiful die set consisting of intricate filigree work. It really adds that oomph factor to any project!

This die set is really huge and I had to use a 7" X 7" card base for my card to fit in all the die cuts. There are so many amazing possibilities with this set and it allows you to make the most of your dies. For my card, I started by die cutting the largest die from Pearlescent White Cardstock from Papericious using the Spellbinders Platinum 8.5" Machine. This particular die includes score lines which can be used to fold over and create a note card or a gatefold card or envelope, but I wanted to use the design as is, so I adhered it directly on to my card base. Didn't I tell you that Becca's dies are always ingenious?!

Next, I die cut the 4'' square motif die included in the Fleur de Lis Grandeur Fold Over from Brush Gold Cardstock. I die cut two squares so that I could off-set them for added interest. I also die cut the inlay piece for the square die cut from Whip Cream Cardstock on which I later stamped my sentiment as well. I adhered the die cuts using foam dots on my panel. 

To embellish my card, I used Foamiran flowers. It's been a while since I made them and it just felt perfect to create them for this card. I used the Candlewick Rosebud Etched Dies to die cut my flowers and leaves from Peach & Green Foamiran sheets. I shaped the flowers using Embossing Ball Tools and added White Pearls to the centres to give them a more petite look. The leaves were also lightly shaped using a Ball Tool. I also tucked in some foliage and various fillers to give it a more cohesive look.

As a finishing touch, I adhered White Pearls on the four corners of the die cut pieces. I absolutely loved creating this card and how it came together!
