Learn a new technique with Graphic 45

Today I'm sharing this over the top card I created for Graphic 45 using the Precious Memories collection.  Actually as stunning as this card looks, it's really not that hard and to prove it to you I've made a step by step tutorial to show you how.  

Check out How to Create a Box Easel Card With 4 Drawers Using G45 by Lori Williams on Snapguide.

This easel card has the traditional easel card but it also include a four drawer base for you to tuck in a treat or two. 

 

 

Don't forget to decorate the interior of your card too...this is especially important with the easel card so you have something for the top of your card to tuck into so it can stand up on it's own. 

If you'd like to see all the supplies I used on this card, hop over to Graphic 45's blog and check it out.  Also be sure to sneak a peek at Katie's card that is perfect for the Saint Patty's Day celebration. 

Precious Memories with Graphic 45 and Spellbinder Dies

Hi Everyone, I hope you're having a great week.  I've been swamped this week so I've not gotten to share as many projects with you as I like.  The great news is I have one for you today from Graphic 45 and it's stunning!!!

 

I've used the latest collection Precious Memories and some of the newest Spellbinder dies just released at CHA 2015.  The two go perfectly together with that shabby vintage feel. 

I've layered a lot with this card and also given it some depth with the three dimensional bow at the top of the card. 

 

Please be sure to head over to Graphic 45's blog today and check out more awesome projects from the design team...it's always sure to entertain.

 

 

Baby Love with Hampton Art and Graphic 45

I think there is a baby theme on my blog as of late...I better not be drinking the water, LOL.  Graphic 45 and Hampton Art both released baby themed products for CHA so the two of them always pair up so nicely and I did just that on this card. 

The baby was fussy cut out and added to the card with foam tape to give some dimension.  The banner was stamped and cut out and the sentiment in the middle was stamped with blue ink for a perfect blending.  I also stamped little flowers and baby feet on the background paper.  Granted it was already detailed but I thought the darker stamped blue gave a little more layering. 

So Sweet with Precious Memories by Graphic 45

One of the collections that Graphic 45 is releasing at CHA is Precious Memories and precious it is.  This is a layout I created of my youngest son who isn't quite so little anymore...oh if only we could make them stay little....sigh. 

Of course Graphic 45 has given that vintage touch to this collection as they do with all their products.  The color palette is one that will work with little boys or little girls and they have some papers for each. 

 

I hope you're going to Graphic 45's blog each day to see all the new releases and the other fabulous projects by the rest of the design team.  Oh and you can always find a complete list of products used for my projects on their blog too!!!
