Amazing Paper Grace has gone back to her roots with classic sewing inspired motifs! Introducing the Picot Petite Collection!
Becca Feeken sent over these lovely dies for me to try.
Over time we’ve had lace-inspired designs and have loved the feel of Hemstitching and Candlewicking. Reminiscent of needlework and treasured handwork proudly displayed, Becca Feeken has developed another classic line of layering shapes that feel so much like tatting or picot crochet. As you might imagine, these shapes are crisp, clean, and timeless. Whether you are simply adding a classic layer to a card or cutting an aperture to highlight a lovely sentiment – these shapes mix and match with other sewing inspired motifs as well as intricate backdrops.
Today you’re in luck! Our Creative Team is sharing makes from the Picot Petite Collection.
Classic Shapes are Timeless
With each Classic Collection, Amazing Paper Grace creates the most popular die-cutting shapes in oval, round, square, and rectangles. Moreover, these classic shapes mix and match with Hemstitch Classics, Candlewick Classics, Elegant Twist Classics, and now Picot Petit.
The Inspiration behind Picot Petite
If you’ve ever seen tatting, the little loop produced along the edge is called a “picot”. It’s this little loop that is the basis for the border on all of the Petite Picot shapes. They are lovely as a backdrop for any other layerings as the little picot peeks out. It’s just a subtle way to bring in the ways of classic needlework to give texture and dimension to the backdrop of our cards.
Each of our Creative Team members will show you their take on cards made with a classic picot flair.
My Projects For Today
First up is Amazing Paper Grace S5-434 Picot Petite Rectangles by Spellbinders
Here is what the dies look like:
I used these dies to make a unique box for my first project. The box features the Picot Rectangles on each side of the box and these beautiful dies make terrific frames! I also used the Picot border to create a special decorative roof line for the top of the box.
My second project is a little purse album made exclusively with the Picot Petite Rectangle dies. This little purse can be used as a photo album or a recipe box. I love how the beautiful edge of the Picot Petite Rectangle die adds an elegant, decorative border for the entire project. Even the pockets and the little pull-out cards are made using these rectangular Picot dies!
Here is the Spellbinders video showing amazing new samples as well as a walkthrough of the entire collection.
