Graphic 45 Mon Amour Pocket Coin Envelopes

Hi Everyone!

Back today with a little Valentine's Day project, but you could really make these for any occasion.

This make uses the Graphic 45 Pocket Coin Envelope Die and Mon Amour papers. They are the perfect size to add an ATC (Artist Trading Card) on top to make a mini work of art. With lots of layering and fussy cutting you can make really pretty projects to hold gift cards, money or a special treat. 

More info is included in my video.


Hope you like them!

Graphic 45 One Page Wonder Mini Album

Hi Everyone!

Another windy day here in Blighty! Perfect crafting weather!

This is a One Page Wonder which makes a very cute mini album, perfect for adding Valentine treats, tickets, vouchers or love notes. Or simply decorate it with your favourite photos and memories as a lovely keepsake.

I have used Graphic 45's Curiouser and Curiouser paper collection, and I have attached a link to my video explaining how to make the basic album.



This would look great decorated in any of your favourite papers from your stash!

Hope you like it!

Evening Everyone!

Tonight I thought that I would share my latest makes with Graphic 45's Seasons to Celebrate collection. These papers and images are lovely, so I decided to get ahead with my 'Birthday Card Making' and created these three Seasonal Diamond Step cards for March, April and May.

All the instructions are on my video if you'd like to pop over and take a look.

Mintay Lilac Garden Pop Out Card

 Hi Everyone!

Just popped on to share my latest make - a Pop Out Panel Card. There are lots of variations of this on the internet, but I have just tweaked mine to create a 6x6 inch version. 

I have created a video here to show how I made it. 


I've used the beautiful Lilac Garden papers from Mintay, of which I only ordered four sheets and definitely wish I had ordered more!

Hope you enjoy this card!

Tim Holtz Butterfly Trio

Hi Everyone!

I decided to challenge myself to create some projects using one set of stamps, so I pulled out a Stamp and Stencil set by Tim Holtz from Stampers Anonymous. (THMM115)

I have a video on my channel explaining the process.


I first created tags with inky background from my Distress Oxides and Inks, then used a Pearl spray for added splatter.  I stamped the butterfly in Archival Ink and coloured them by mixing the ink with the pearl spray on my craft mat. I added my butterfly to my tag with a stamped sentiment.

I then went on to make matching cards and pillow boxes in the same colour schemes. The Pillow Box die is from Time Holtz's Vault from Sizzix. I used my label maker to add sentiments to the cards and pillow boxes. 

I hope you like them as much as I enjoyed creating them!

Graphic 45 Scenic Bridge Cards

Hi Everyone! It's a chilly, snowy day here today!

I thought I would share these easy to make, yet effective, Bridge Cards which allow you to make the perfect scene with your fussy cut elements or die cuts.

I have used four Graphic 45 collections to show you how different they can look just by changing your papers. These are Woodland Friends, Curiouser and Curiouser, Grow with Love, and Flight of Fancy.

All instructions are in my video.


Hope you like them!

Graphic 45 Envelope Pocket Cards

 Hi Gang!

Happy New Year to you all! Hope you had a lovely Christmas and really enjoyed the festive season!

So, I'm back with another video of my makes using the beautiful Winter sections of Graphic 45's Season to Celebrate.

I created these Envelope Pocket Cards - great for sending gift vouchers or a lovely tea bag! I used minimal supplies as explained on the video and even managed a bonus project if you watch through to the end!



Hope you like them! Happy Crafting!
