Get in the Game with Graphic 45

 

 

It's the weekend and it's time to have fun and play, so I thought I share this adorable flash card set I created for Graphic 45.  I used the re-released collection " ABC Primer " and it was the right collection for what I wanted to make.

 

My son isn't a fan of learning math tables so I thought I would create something that would make it fun, the flash card set.  The game portion is the pennies, for each card he gets right he gets to keep the penny, but for each one he gets wrong he has to pay the penny back.  That a sure fire way to get kids in the fun, LOL. 

 

Here are a lot more detailed pictures of this project for you to see. 

 

I say let the games continue....so hop over to Graphic 45's Blog and see Brit Sviggum's adorable game layout.  For anyone that has a child into video gaming....it's a must.  Have a great rest of the weekend and I'll see you next week.  Until then, happy crafting   

Just as I promised....more Crafter's Companion

I told you I would be back today with another card I made for the new release from Crafter's Companion.  Now if you know anything about me, you'll know Poppies are one of my favorite flowers.  I had to create one of these beauties for the release. 

 

Here's a full view of the card.  One of the things you might not notice but that I really liked is the shaded blue background.  I was able to achieve this with the Spectrum Noir markers.  They blend so great it makes coloring super easy.  Here's a complete list of the Crafter's Companion products I used on this card.

Getting Fancy with Graphic 45's ABC Primer

Happy Monday, I hope everyone had a safe and fun holiday weekend.  Today I'm excited to share with you my fancy step card I created for Graphic 45 with the much loved ABC Primer Collection.  My son is in year round school and we are starting to gear up for a new school year, so this themed card is perfect as we go out school supply shopping. 

Now it's time to head over to Graphic 45's Blog and see Arlene's beautiful Gilded Lily card.  Her work is stunning and you'll want to be sure to check it out .  I'll see you later in the week, until then, keep crating. 

Say Goodbye to Blazing Poppy...last project for the month

I adore the effect I was able to achieve on today's card for Heartfelt Creations.  I used the Spectrum Aqua markers and it really nailed the watercolor style.  I heat embossed the stamped image first and then just colored it in with the markers and watercolor brushes.  BEAUTIFUL!!!

You can really see the detail in this shot.  Isn't it just lovely all the shading and water effect?  Be sure to head over to Heartfelt Creations Blog and you'll see step by step directions for this card and also lots of other lovely creations by the rest of the design team. 

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.

Watercolor Beauty with Heartfelt Creations and Blazing Poppy

Happy Monday everyone.  Sorry to day life was CRAZY last week and I didn't get anything posted.  So sorry.  The good news I have some projects to share with you this week so stay tuned :)

Today's card is one I created for Heartfelt Creations using Blazing Poppies collection and also Art Anthology's spray mist.  I created the poppy border with Spectrum Aqua markers and I love the way the technique turned out.  My favorite flower is poppies so you know I'm loving this release.

A Brag Book for Father's Day

Today Graphic 45 is featuring me over on their blog as a returned designer.  They have posted some of my favorite Graphic 45 projects (thus far) and this little treasure I made.  Please take a moment and head over to their blog to see all my favorites and more.  

My father has absolutely everything in the world and needs nothing.  I couldn't have thought of a better gift for him for Father's Day than a brag book of his precious grandsons.  That's something he can't go out and buy but that he really will treasure. 

I made this little book from cardboard and of course some yummy paper and accessories from The Good Ol Sport collection from Graphic 45....and I LOVE IT!!!!  Here are lots and lots of pictures for you to get a feel for the whole book.  Enjoy. 

What a Poppy Layout!!!

Can you believe I paired this beautiful poppy collection from Heartfelt Creations with a picture of my little completely covered in mud, lol.  Somehow they seemed to blend to me.  I love this picture as the boys are just nothing but mud but my son looks so angelic and innocent in the middle of it all...as if he was, LOL. 

The flower clusters were fussy cut from the Blazing Poppy collection, and though it took a little time I think the end result was worth it.  Be sure to head over to Heartfelt Creations blog today and see all the amazing projects by the design team.
