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.
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.

Oh my goodness, these are so clever, creative and I'm in love with them! You adorable house box is really the best!! Thank you for the inspiration! Am ready for Christmas with these!
This is so gorgeous. I love how you have made the little house with the dies and your Christmas cards are beautiful!!
You have a very creative mind and that house is so winsome. I would love to borrow you mind for a few minutes so I could create such makes. I love the pompom trim on the tags! Wrapping and tagging gifts for Christmas just got easier!
I love dies that can be used for 3D projects and other as you have used them, it's something I like to do too, so thanks for the inspiration,
Hugs Liz
