Spellbinders + Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month | April 2020

Hello, crafty friends!

I have a Card to share today featuring the Spellbinders + Amazing Paper Grace April Die of the Month. This month's "Pop Up 3D Vignette Typewriter" Set is perfect for making exquisite cards and more. 

If you want to find out more about the Club – prices, how you sign up and what’s included, please look ——–> HERE. These dies are only available through the Club and are limited to the month of April, so hurry before they are sold out. There is also a super helpful YouTube video that you can see HERE which shows you how to assemble the die set.

Here's a look at my Card using the Die Set. This typewriter die is so elegant and I can't have enough of it!

This card measures about 6" X 6" and is quite layered and happens to be one of my favourite cardmaking styles! To create my card, I first began by die cutting the Pop Up 3D Vignette Typewriter Die Set from Gold Mirror Cardstock as well as the DCWV Blush 12" X 12" Paper Pad. I used two different patterns along with the Gold Mirror Paper as I wanted the typewriter to have a stylish look. I layered and adhered the basic body of the typewriter, so that I could start working on the other elements of my card.

Next, I die cut the blank pages coming out of the typewriter from the Scripts & Music Notes 12" X 12" Paper Pad and the Blush Paper Pad, both from DCWV. I die cut the words 'News Flash' from patterned paper and then added a piece of Gold Mirror Cardstock at the back to give it an inlaid effect. Then, I die cut the words 'You R Mine' from Gold Mirror Cardstock and adhered them to the paper to form a complete sentiment. I did this just to add some interest to my card design. These word dies are included as a part of the Pop Up 3D Vignette Typewriter Die Set.

I wanted the typewriter to be the star of the card and hence kept the embellishing minimal. I used some Mulberry Retro Flowers and some die cut leaves to create floral clusters near the focal point. I also tucked in some strands of satin ribbon under one of the bunches form added interest.

To enhance the look of the typewriter, I adhered some pink oval rims to give it a more complete look. I like the way this turned out - I would love to know what you think of it!

 I  also made a Pop Up 3D Typewriter yesterday for the Spellbinders April 2020 Clubs Hop, which you can check out HERE for more inspiration!

If you are still on the fence about the Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month Membership, do check out the project samples created using it on the Spellbinders blog. The dies are great value for money and the cost of the kit covers shipping cost within USA. So, what are you waiting for? Sign up as soon as possible!

That's it from me for today! I hope you liked my card.

Spellbinders April 2020 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop

Hello, crafty friends!

I'm super excited and honoured to be joining Spellbinders for the April 2020 Clubs Inspiration Blog Hop today. If you arrived here from, Alicia Havranek's Blog, then you are on the right track. If this is your first stop, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Spellbinders Blog. We've got tons of inspiration and giveaways for you on the hop today, so keep reading till the end of this post for more information.

I have made a Pop-Up 3D Vignette Typewriter using the Amazing Paper Grace - April Die of the Month. I absolutely LOVE this die set. It's so ingenious! 

The dies for Spellbinders Monthly Clubs are exclusive to Spellbinders and you won't find them anywhere else. If you want to find out more about the Club – prices, how you sign up and what’s included, please look ——–> HERE.

To create my 3D Typewriter, I followed the step by step Video Tutorial shared by Becca Feeken. It's very simple and easy to follow and will have you creating your very own one of a kind special typewriter in a few minutes! 

I wanted to create mine in soft, pastel colours , so I chose to use Buttercream Cardstock and Baby Pink Textured Cardstock. I die cut the basic structure of the typewriter from Buttercream Cardstock, while the add-on layers were die cut from Baby Pink Cardstock as well as Gold Mirror Cardstock. No project of mine seems to be complete without Gold Mirror Cardstock - LOL! It really adds that elegant touch!

Once I die cut all the different elements of the typewriter and adhered them together, it was time to embellish it.

I die cut the sheets of paper coming out from the typewriter from the DCWV 12" x 12" Scripts and Music Notes Cardstock Stack. Then, I added some die cut words on all three layers to give it a personalized touch. The die cut words 'Hello Friend' are from a previous Amazing Paper Grace Club Kit and I combined it with the sentiment die included in this month's kit. 

To embellish the typewriter, I created some mini handmade flowers which were die cut from Baby Pink Textured Cardstock. I embossed the petals using an Embsossing Ball Tool and added stamens to the centers to give it a more finished look. I also die cut some leaves and foliage from Sweet Pear Cardstock and arranged them near my flowers to give it a cohesive look.

I also die cut few oval key rims from Gold Mirror Cardstock to give it a more realistic touch. The attention to detail in this Pop-Up 3D Vignette Typewriter Die Set is simply amazing. Each and every little add-on accessory has been included as a part of the die set, and you don't need to invest in any extra Add-On Sets to create these beauties. Well worth the money, in my humble opinion. :-)

I repeated the same process for the back side of the typewriter as well in order to give it a finished look. This little piece now sits on my desk and I plan to create some more of these and mail them to my crafty friends. This would surely brighten their day!

I hope you liked my project and are inspired to create your own! I would love to know what you think of it!
