Get Gilded with Graphic 45 and Faber Castell

I'm lucky enough to get to partner with Faber Castell and Graphic 45 for a Blog Hop they are putting together, and this is the project I created using the two. 

The collection is from Graphic 45, Gilded Lily and it's just plume regal.  I created the flowers using various Faber Castell goodies including some of their Gelatos.  I have to tell you, I'm hooked on the Gelatos now, LOL. 

I created a simple step by step tutorial to show you how you can make some of these beautiful flowers yourself.

Step it up with Graphic 45 and a Tutorial

Today I've got two cards for you using Graphic 45's yummy new collections Gilded Lily and Artisans Style.  I've even created a video tutorial to show you how you can make your own step cards. 

 

 

 

 

Then I created this second card using the Artisans Style and to show you the variety you can get with the type of card. 

 

Be sure to head over to Graphic 45's blog and see more information about this project and so much more from the rest of the talented design team.

May Arts Design Team Audition

 

Who doesn't love ribbon, everybody loves ribbon!!! so when I saw that May Arts was having their design team call and I figured I give it a whirl and see what might happen.

 

I've got several projects of mine highlighted that I think show great use of ribbon.  The first one is this woven card and I even created an easy step by step tutorial for you to be able to make one for yourself.

The paper collection I used for this card is Graphic 45's latest collection " Gilded Lily.

 

The second project I'm sharing is a burlap wreath I made that features May Arts ribbon.  Wreaths can be a great way to upcycle some of your old costume jewelry that you aren't sure what to do with.  The best part about it is, you can still take off the jewelry and wear it if you ever want to.  What a great way to store your jewelry and yet still get to enjoy it, nestled among some beautiful ribbon.

 

 

 

My final project was a box with a mini book that I created for Graphic 45 using their Botanical Tea collection.  I adorned this project with some of May Arts Silk ribbon which really added a luxurious touch. 

 

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and taking a look at some of my projects and wish me the best of luck, as I'm sure there will be some major talent trying out.
