Introducing the Amazing Paper Grace Sweet Cardlets

Good Evening All!!

Welcome to an intro New Release Blog Hop for Sweet Cardlet Collection by Amazing Paper Grace.

What’s a Cardlet, pray tell?  A Cardlet is a small motif, complete with background, sentiment and character that combine to make small card or layers onto a larger card.  We’re delighted to introduce you to the Sweet Cardlets Collection.

Becca Feeken sent over these lovely dies and watercolors for me to try.

Sweet Cardlets show up in a Glimmer format with a matching die.   They are metal plates that are used in the Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System to transfer foil to paper through a combination of heat and pressure.  The Glimmer machine base is rolled through your die cut machine to deliver that pressure.  As long as you have a machine that can accommodate thick dies – as steel rule dies, you’re all set. A word to the wise, it is very addicting.  (Compatibility charts on the Spellbinders website)

The Inspiration behind Sweet Cardlets

We gotta fess up here.  There’s no such word as cardlets, yep, Becca straight up made it up.  You have to agree though, it sounds really cute, right?  Well that was the inspiration behind sweet cardlets.  As you can imagine it has something to do with cards and moreover, little cards.  

Always mindful of the budget, Becca wanted to create a collection where each set is all you need to make a little card.  Sweet Cardlets are small motifs with a 3″ x 3″ footprint.  Each has a background, a main character and several sentiments.  

We found it the right size to fit on an A2 card and even to layer onto an A7 card.  In fact, the 3″ background can be repeated for a long background or a larger background.  Dies cut out each main character and three sentiments with each set give you lots of options.

Each of our Creative Team members will show you their take on cards made with the Sweet Cardlets Collection.  Today we’re all using Jane Davenport Watercolors in some technique to show off Sweet Cardlets.

My Projects For Today

First up is a 6′ by 6″ Graceful Swans card which I created using Amazing Paper Grace S4-1047, Shapeabilities Richelieu Square Etched Dies Flourished Fretwor by Spellbinders.

Here is what the dies look like:

It was so much fun creating with glimmer foils. Once I decided the color combination that I wanted to try for my projects, I chose Gold, GLF-014 to use. Glimmer foil the background with the Gold Foil onto the white cardstock and die cut the image using Square die. Layer of white die cut from Shapeabilities Richelieu Square Etched Dies Flourished Fretwork, was added as an extra accent. The panel looked gracious on the scored front panel from kraft cardstock.

Next, I created this beautiful card using Jane Davenport Watercolors. Awww….I loved using these colors to create the backgrounds. They worked great!!

Next, I created this beautifully foiled black and white treat box coordinating to my cards.

Here is the Spellbinders video showing amazing new samples as well as a walkthrough of the entire collection.
