Graphic 45 Cards & Tags

So sorry it has taken me so long to post! I have had a whirlwind of a week and haven't had much blogging time. I have a few more projects to share with you from Graphic 45 - please have a peek below.
This tag was created with Graphic 45's new Tag Staples released at this past CHA.  I decided to use a monochromatic colour palette with lots of layers of embellishments.  The design team was asked to create a tag which showcased the 'staples' collection!
If you look closely, you can see several different types of embellishments from the Staples line; buttons, metal brads, metal keyhole...
...metal buttons, metal tags, metal label holder, staples stickers...
Up next is a card I created using the new French Country Collection from Graphic 45.  The tones in this line are super bold and bright but I wanted to showcase the versatility of the patterns and neutral colours and opted for the more masculine/clean and simple card you see above.
Lastly, I have a card created with the wonderfully romantic Ladies' Diary collection.

Thank you so much for your visit today! Hope you have a sweet Valentine's Day tomorrow!

Go Red For Women

This is an absolutely hilarious video - but sends a very serious and important message. Know the signs. (Hit a little too close to home for me...)

More From CHA...

It's February! WOW can't believe we are already into the second month of the New Year! I have a few more projects to share from this past CHA and would like to start today with another altered Art Box from Graphic 45.
A little on the larger side at 8x8, this box is the perfect canvas on which to create.  The box in the middle slides out to reveal the inside - perfect for a decorative project or left bare to hold treasures and keepsakes.
Here is the inside box as well as the outer 'shell' shown together.
I decided to create a romantic, layered decorative project on the inside of my box - adorned with flowers, doilies and whimsical butterflies.
Here is the side view to give you a better idea of the true colours in the light.  I also altered my metal pieces and tips of my flowers with some acrylic paint in buttercream as I found it gave more of a vintage inspired feel.
 
 
Thank you so much for your visit today - until next time!
