Here is the second project I designed using the beautiful papers, chipboard elements, and sticker sheet from the Communique paper collection.

This is the second box I designed, (click here to see the video: https://youtu.be/yJdylKCJ6jon ) and I love the slim footprint of this box.

For this project, I made a mini album to accompany the 14 double-sided chipboard pages. In addition, I designed a large accordion pocket on the back of the box for even more photo and memorabilia storage.

 


Graphic 45 Communique Vintage Phone and Mini Album

Back from vacation and just finished this project. I really like the way it turned out.

When I saw the Communique paper line from Graphic 45, I knew I wanted to make a vintage phone. I also wanted to use a Graphic 45 box and tag set, something I had never done before.

For this design, I used paper tubing, disposable cups, thin chipboard, stickers from the collection as well as chipboard elements.

I kept the mini album pretty simple but made sure I added some interest in the page layout designs. The paper for the collection made it easy to be creative as it provided many element options.

Graphic 45 Sun Kissed: Mixed Media Denim Canvas

Recently, a good friend of mine shared a photo of her two young sons at the beach. The photo was so lovely that I was inspired to design this project using the Sun Kissed paper collection.

It was the first time I tried a denim canvas and will not be the last. Already working on another project design!

Using a variety of paints, alcohol inks, shells and the beautiful ephemera and papers from the collection, I was able to create a beach theme.

#SIMPLYG45: A Proper Gentleman – Masculine Cards

Need masculine greeting card ideas?

I am always in need of cards for the men in my life. Here are a few cards I created using Graphic 45 “A Proper Gentleman”.  Just a bit of additional cardstock from my paper supply, I created these cards under $10.00 dollars and less than 60 minutes.

What a great way to use up tidbits from a paper collection!

I created the card sentiments on the inside of each card. I like to write poetry, so I typically use my own original greeting card messages. I do, however, often use stamp sentiments when I need something quick or if I am coordinating a sentiment with a card design and dies.
