Hi there sweet friends.  Today we are introducing a mini collection around a friendly Halloween Theme.  This is my very first venture into Halloween and it’s nice to create a little bit of whimsy.  Create some BOOtiful creations with a new collection from Amazing Paper Grace – The Halloween Collection.  It’s super SPOOKY cute!

The Halloween Collection Details

This Halloween Collection includes three thin metal die sets They can be used separately or mix and match with each set in the collection. It goes especially well with the popular Charming Cottage Box die set as you will see while hopping through.  The inspiration for the set was indeed the Charming Cottage.  I simply wanted something to bundle up goodies to deliver during the holidays.  Since the Cottage is so easy to put together, these add-on sets are a great way to extend the life of a die in your stash!

The Halloween Collection Die Sets!

I’m introducing Amazing Paper Grace S4-1069 Nested Clipped Squares by Spellbinders.  It’s a great year around shape and you will notice that by utter coincidence it also fits with Amazing Paper Grace S5-422 Rosa Diamante, which I have also used on my card.

My Hey Boo Halloween Card

For my project today using the Nested Clipped Squares I went for a vintage Halloween look with blacks, reds, and vintage type.  Of course, it had to be a teeny bit elegant.  I die cut Rosa Diamante and layered it up with the Nested Clipped Squares and finished off the with Hey Boo die cut words from Amazing Paper Grace S3-405 Spooky Boo.

3D Vignette Telephone Details

We’ve spent all month making funny phone jokes and puns!  Do you realize this little relic is something that most teenyboppers haven’t seen in person?  Just as with the typewriter, the phone is an iconic part of our history and technology.  Ever evolving, this phone will always be a part of our coming of age.  During the month we played “I Spy” to peek into how folks were using this die and this is what we found:

  1. A shaker card
  2. A notepad holder
  3. A mini 4-page scrapbook (which will hold Instax pictures)
  4. A gift card holder
  5. A card with multiple sentiments
  6. A basket

We’re sure there are more, but in the meantime, here is some additional inspiration to pique your creativity. Don’t miss my designs in the introduction of the 3D Vignette Telephone post.

My Project Today using 3D Vignette Telephone

My project today takes minutes.  For my project I decided to take one of the many sketch books I have and create a Phone Book.  Yes, even though I keep my phone contacts in my phone digitally, I love having a place (a backup) where I have manually written down numbers.  Plus I don’t want every number in my phone – just the important ones.  In my manual phone book I’ll put my favorite dry cleaner, some of my stores, etc.

To make, I simply die cut a phone and applied it to printed acetate.  I did it that way because I wanted the beauty of the linen book to shine through.  I put my die cut phone on the sketch book with foam adhesive.

Designer Tip:   When working with fabric and clear acetate, it’s a-okay to use a line adhesive like ScorTape to adhere acetate to fabric.

    Dear Becca,
    I can clearly see why you used the word, proud, to capture your feelings about your new Design Team. These creations give us truly inspirational work to capture our imaginations. Your phone directory is a perfect companion for this set of dies and is so beautiful, too. I love the cranberry and gold combination and
    it photographed stunningly against the rose embroidered cloth.
    Wishing you nothing but the best!
    Love & blessings,

This lovely milestone has been a long time in the making for Amazing Paper Grace.  I’m beyond tickled to tell you that after a lengthy open design team call, we received a mailbox brimming with submissions.  In fact, so many that it took us extra time to examine them and research every one.  We’ve assembled an amazing team of artisans to dabble with Amazing Paper Grace products and bring you a new dimension of inspiration.  Please say hello and welcome the 2020 -2021 Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team.

No doubt you have seen these lovely artists out and about on the internet but we would appreciate it if you would subscribe to their blogs today.  Over the next couple of weeks they will be joining our hops to deliver even another dose of inspiration.  In fact, please come back on August 20th, we have a hop and some lovely projects to show.

A note of thanks goes to all those who made submissions.  If you didn’t make it this time, please know it doesn’t speak to your art and we hope you’ll continue to try.  We were looking for very specific things.  In the meantime, please stick around and become part of our community!
