Graphic 45 Ephemera Queen

If you love the rich opulence and extreme lavishness of Marie Antoinette and fashionistas of the French Neo Classical period then Graphic 45’s Ephemera Queen is for you! It brings to mind visions of Marie Antoinette’s court and the beautiful grandeur of Versailles with over the top elegance and romantic images.

  

This collection has all of the coordinating elements you’ve come to expect from Graphic 45 including papers in 12 and 8”, chipboard, stickers, die cuts and journaling cards.

When I begin to work with a collection, I’ll punch out all the chipboard pieces, sort the die cuts and powder the backs of all the stickers with baby powder so I can sort through everything without them sticking together. Its so important to know what you have available before you start to create.

I arrange the elements on sheets of plastic the size of my card front. When I’m happy with the arrangement it’s easy to pick up the sheet and lay it over different paper pattern combinations to help me decide what pleases my eye best.

This collection also has a 12” pad of prints and solids AND Journaling Cards that are great for layering and breaking up the colorful printed papers or personalizing your projects.

Some elements are adhered flat to the card while others are adhered with adhesive foam tape to add dimension. I added pearl gem flourish stickers to my design to give them an even richer look. I cut larger gem flourishes into smaller pieces and added small curlicues and swirls.

I plan to use these as note cards to surprise the divas that make my life extraordinary and to celebrate them as the “queen of the day”.

Graphic 45 Dreamland Collection

Are you looking for a sweet escape? I know I am!! You never have to ask me twice!  I appreciate having a hobby to keep my hands busy and my mind on positive thoughts.and sometimes a trip to magical places like Dreamland from Graphic 45.

  

The Graphic 45 Dreamland Collection is just the ticket! It captures sunshine, moonbeams and a little fantasy all at the same time! The pretty papers are shades of yellow, reds and blues. The papers capture images of mermaids, fairies, of taking flight and setting sail – all the things dreams are made of.
  

Whenever I get my hands on a new collection, I pop out all the chipboard pieces, add baby powder to the backs of the stickers and sort through all the die cut pieces. It helps to know exactly what you have before you start making and let’s face it, a treat for the eyes is always welcome.

I lay out the images on sheets of clear plastic the same size as my card base so I can mix and match to my heart’s content before I commit and adhere them in place. Here’s a peek at eight of the cards I made with this collection in progress.

The plastic sheets make it easy to pick up the entire sheet and lay it over different pattern papers and layouts. Because the sheets are clear the paper shows through and I know exactly what my cards will look like!

Let the Graphic 45 Dreamland Collection sail you to far away places that you can only find in your dreams!

Graphic 45 Blossom Collection

Hello my crafty friends! I hope you’re having a great day! Winter has unleashed itself here in the Midwest the past few days and I’m looking forward to Spring and the return of colorful flowers to my world. While I wait, I’m happy to have a sweet escape in my craft room with the Graphic 45 Blossom Collection.

This collection includes magnificent florals that are absolutely stunning. The color scheme is a jewel tone with shades of emerald, sapphire and ruby.

I always begin my creative process with exploring the collection. I break apart the die cuts, add baby powder to the back of all the stickers so I can move them around as I like without them sticking to things. I cut the papers into smaller pieces that makes them easier to manage (I cut the 8” pad sheets in half), and finally start arranging the elements on pieces of plastic the size of my card base. The plastic sheets make it easy to see what the cards will look like as I layer the plastic over the different paper prints.

Pearls and die cuts make pretty embellishments. I love how the die cut corners from the Policy and Decorative dies set are sized perfectly for stacking the sticker photo corners. The sticker sheet includes several borders to add to your designs, and everything is perfectly color coordinated.

Enjoy a taste of spring with the beautiful iris, dahlia and other gorgeous blooms you’ll find in the Blossom Collection. They’re a sweet escape from the winter chill and will have you feeling refreshed in no time!
