Introducing Amazing Paper Grace - Romancing the Swirl Collection

Welcome sweet friends, today we are introducing my new dies.  Welcome to the Romancing the Swirl Collection - you can take a quick peek of the entire collection -------> HERE.

About Romancing the Swirl Collection

The Romancing the Swirl Collection by Amazing Paper Grace for Spellbinders is chock full of calligraphic swirls and elegant, classic dreamy motifs that will be in style for years to come.  Meant to be used together across the collection, every die will be in character with another as they are combined.  Well rounded with squares, circles, ovals, and rectangles - each combination provides the ability to create a layering masterpiece adorned by the extra embellishments in the collection.

Join us as each Creative Team member shares their creations with two dies from the collection.  We'll be sharing creations for weeks to come so you have a continuous source of inspiration!  We are listing all of the creative team below so that you don't miss a beat on the hop.  Don't forget, each of us will be giving away an Amazing Paper Grace die pulled from the comments - one from each blog.  The prize details are at the bottom of my post.  So, without further ado let me talk about the dies I get to introduce:

My Projects Today:

First up is S5-367 - Flourished Square

The brand new Flourished Square die is just perfect. With this large die, I was able to create a 6x6in card with ease.  While designed as a square, a quick 90 degree turn gave me quite a different look. I have used the die as a frame to house my sentiment. The centre oval is lifted up on a double layer of foam dots to really make it stand it off the page. Notice how I also added a subtle shading of ink around the edge of the oval to highlight it on the page. The flowers and leaves can be found in the Corner Cotillion die set and are the perfect accompaniment to this gorgeous die. 

Consider using this die without the outer edge to create a beautiful window style card. 

Second up is S5-929 - Hemstitch Square

My second project uses the Hemstitch  Square die set which provides such a simple but eye catching background for this card. Again, instead of using the square pieces in the conventional way, I have tilted and stacked them for a different look. I have used tiny pieces of foam tape to boost this piece off the card. Once again I lifted the centre piece off the card with multiple layers of foam dots. The lime green of the ribbon also gives the illusion of added foliage to my floral cluster. 

The flowers have been created by shaping multiple layers of the two flowers and layering together with prills for centres. Additional single layer flowers were created with the same die, but formed into single buds by cutting a slit through to the centre, then shaping and wrapping to overlap the petals. 

Availability:
These dies are available right now on the Spellbinders website.  Because there has just been a European launch, I'd encourage you to go ahead and grab those dies that speak to your heart -----> HERE.
