Graphic 45 - Bird Song Notebook

Hello!

Dropping in today to share a little notebook cover I created with the newest Graphic 45 Deluxe Collectors Edition Bird Song. It is a lovely collection with lots of images to be fussy cut and as you all know I love to fussy cut.

'Bird Song Notebook'

I needed a new notebook for my desk and already had a set of the Graphic 45 notebooks so I chose the lined notebook and created a dimensional fussy cut front cover. Nothing to over the top but just enough.

So love the images in this collection.

Just a few layers to make it pop!!

Graphic 45 - Gift Card Envelopes

Hi Everyone!!

Sharing some super sweet gift card envelopes I created using some of the older Graphic 45 Christmas collections St Nicholas and Christmas Magic. With Christmas around the corner I thought these would be a quick, easy and a super cute idea to give a gift card as a gift and these ones will be put to good use.

'Gift Card Envelopes'

I created the envelopes using one of the Graphic 45 ATC Policy Envelopes as a template from coordinating patterned papers from the collections.

I fussy cut images from the collections to create a nice dimensional front on each envelope.

I added a chipboard tag from each collection and attached with a chain to write the name of the lucky person that will be receiving the gift.

I have let the backs of the envelopes plain and simple and will close with a dob of glue once the card is inside.

Dusty Attic - Crescent Moon Dreamcatcher

Hello Everyone!

Here with you today to share a Dreamcatcher I created using Dusty Attic Chipboard. I have keep the colouring very soft and shabby, so it easily blends in with my home decor.

'Crescent Moon Dreamcatcher'

I created the main frame of the dreamcatcher using the largest clock of the Skeleton Clock set. I cut part of the clock away to allow the dreamcatcher to look like the shape of the crescent moon.

I painted almost all of the Dusty chipboard with white gesso and then top coated with Dusty acrylic paint Alblaster, it a gorgeous pure white.

The main pieces of the cluster that sits above and behind the web I have used both the large and small pieces from the Cog Cluster chipboard set.

To create the foliage parts of the main cluster I have used a few different pieces from varies dusty chipboard sheets, all are listed below. 

I also added a smaller Skeleton Clock to the side of the dreamcatcher just to balance it out and it kind of helps the frame the gum nut centre piece.

To add extra bulk to the cluster I have added a few Prima leaves and berries.

The dreamcatcher tail was created with wool and lots of it. For added texture some was platted while other were slightly frayed.

Graphic 45 - Dreamland Cards

Hi everyone!!

Dropping by for a quick post today to share a couple of cards I created with the new Graphic 45 collection called Dreamland. It is a beautiful collection full of amazing images and bright fun colours.

'Dreamland Cards'

Graphic 45 have newly released Die Cut Assortment sets to go with their new collections. I love them because they make for quick and easy projects. Both cards were created mainly by using the Dreamland set.

The pieces were simply layered to create cards full of details and dimension. I added some cotton thread on this card to give some moon beams. To add extra colour to the cards I used the Dreamland 12x12 Patterns and Solids papers.

I added a few rhinestones to give the cards a little extra bling.

Dusty Attic - Peanut

Hi everyone!!

Here today to share a little off the page project. This started life as a piece of wood that I found in a scrap bin. I just loved the texture and the shape of it when I saw it and had immediate ideas for using it.

'Peanut'

The colours for the entire project was drawn from the colours that were throughout the piece of board. I gave the board a few coats of matte clear coat just to protect it a little and help draw out the natural colours.

I wanted to keep with natural theme for the project so I used lots of Dusty foliage chipboard pieces.

The flowers were altered using water colours and for extra sparkle a little mica powder.

I added a few Dusty flutterbies, because who doesn't love butterflies.

The main focus of my project was on our little Peanut and he has been framed using the smallest Dusty skeleton clock face.

Graphic 45 - Ruby Slipper

Hello!!

Dropping in today to share my Ruby Slipper created with my favourite Graphic 45 collection at the moment the Magic Of Oz collection. When I saw that this collection was being released again I was so so happy.

'There Is No Place Like Home'

This project started with an idea to simply create a ruby slipper which I did out of paper. Once the shoe was made I coated the entire shoe with Ruby Red glitter. It is so pretty and clingy when the light hits it, unfortunately the camera really doesn't do it justice.

I made a stand for the ruby slipper to sit upon and then went about embellishing it. This was the fun part for me because my imagination could run wild. I fussy cut images from the collection and went about creating a bit of a story.

The ladder was made with some yellow embroidery thread and toothpicks.
