You can tell that around here, we adore spring and the prospect of blooming flowers. This month we invite you to take an idyllic stroll to a place of beauty. It calls and beckons to you, to come and sit down and enjoy your surroundings and all of the nature around you. Today I’m introducing a beautiful new Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month. The way in . . . is through the Garden Gate. Introducing the beautiful new Amazing Paper Grace Die of the Month for May 2021, Mini 3D Vignette Garden Gate.
Dies for my creations today were supplied by Amazing Paper Grace.
This A7 showpiece folds flat into an envelope, only to expand and sit on a desktop where it invites the lucky recipient to take a stroll through the Garden Gate. As always, this die is meant to break apart and use the dies separately. The elements are less than 4″ wide and are begging you to use them on an A2 card. You’ll love the charming details – hinges, a hook lock and a swinging sign to record your message.
Here are some ideas that might inspire you to create a flat card or box:
1. The picket fence for a gatefold card (hint the gate really opens).
2. The Arches for a wedding.
3. The flowers and vines are curved to fit the arch but also make a wreath.
4. A picket fence box and the arches for handles.
Inviting you to plan your own garden and know you are in a place of peace and beauty when you come in through the Garden Gate.
There are 15 dies included in the Mini 3D Vignette Garden Gate.
My Project Today using Mini 3D Vignette Garden Gate.
My first project above using this heavenly die set is a photo album! I created solid sides and a floor for the album and then made multiple die cuts of the garden gate.
My second project below is a 3D card made with this breathtaking die set! Once again, the gate opens to reveal a vintage photo. This is such a great card-making die – I love it!!
Designer Tip: I love these vignette die sets, as they offer great versatility in creating projects! They can easily be made into a photo album by simply creating side walls and a floor! For each mini album page, cut two garden gates and then center and adhere a photo cut to the shape of the gate onto one of the die cuts and then adhere another garden gate on top of this, making sure to cut the top gate open so that it can swing outward as shown below!
I want to extend a heartfelt thank you to my crafting friend in England, Ms. Pauline Straker, who lovingly made and sent me these beautiful porcelain hearts that adorn the above card! I simply dry brushed white paint onto them and love, love, love the look that these precious pieces give to the card! Thank you Pauline!!!

Wow! You have created two absolutely beautiful projects with Becca’s die set. The soft colors with the flowers and pearls are so feminine. I love the idea of creating an album which shows how versatile this set is. Using vintage photos is the perfect last touch on this amazing card and album.
