Desk organizer tutorial with Enchanted Forest

 

Hello G45ers, Cecilia here happy to share a desk organizer tutorial created with the fantastique Enchanted Forest DCE paper collection. Because I don’t have a craft room and I use my bedroom to create I decided to make this organizer to storage all the papers, embellishments, cardstock and anything I’m using in the process of creating a new project, in that way I don’t need to look for the elements every day and when I finish I can put the leftover material in one bag to storage it in a rack. This organizer will always be at my desk to find everything quickly and easily. I really love to make my own storage boxes and you can find more ideas with tutorials in the Graphic 45 youtube channel. I hope you like this one and try it, don’t forget to tag me and tag G45 to see yours!

Here are the materials list.

Seeds and dry flowers storage album tutorial | Graphic 45 Cottage Life

 

Hello G45ers! I’m Cecilia from México and I’m so happy to be back as #G45BrandAmbassador. For my first post I made a little scrapbook that works as seeds and dry flowers storage as well and because this should be a selfie project I also made a cute little cart to place this project as a decor piece. I really love 3D projects combined with scrapbooks and I think that’s what represents my creativity. The paper collection in this case is Cottage Life but you can use the gorgeous Flower Market or Little Things as well, below you’ll find the products used here. The project is not very difficult but is divided in two videos one for the album and the second for the cart with so much tips and tricks, however in my youtube channel you’ll find complementary videos to show you how I made my fabric flowers with Graphic 45 dies and another video to learn how I made the tiny gardening tools, find at the end of this post the links. I hope that you like it and feel inspired to create! I can’t wait to see your project! Cecilia.

Hello crafty friends! Here I have a beautiful wedding album inspiration made with Le Romantique by @Graphic45 with a gift card in a box all made by request. I was planning to make a tutorial but unfortunatelly I had covid in those days and feeling so bad, but I wanted to show you because maybe you will be inspired to create something like this. It's a big album for 70+ pictures and I had to be creative because I only used the DCE paper pad, so a few cream cardstock sheets and patterns and solids with matching colores were added to complete the album and the card and I'm so pleased with the result. for the cover some handmade fabric flowers and lights to feature the shaker box in it. Thank you for reading! Enjoy the pictures and at the end of this post you'll find the walkthrough video link. Cecilia

October 19 is dedicated to make aware about the breast cancer, so I wanted to create something pretty  in memory of all of our loved ones that has been dealing with that.

When the canvas was ready I used crackle paste and modeling paste to add texture I colorize a little bit the background with my Lindy's sprays and some gilded flakes to showcase the stitches and distress the edges. I paint a piece of fabric to make the cancer symbol and then the best part was decorate it with gorgeous handmade flowers, die cuts and chipie from Fantasy all are listed below. The final touch was adding some quotes and that's it. I hope you will like it and feel inspired by my canvas xoxo Cecilia.

Happy Birthday shadow boxed card | Inspiration

 

Hello crafty friends! Cecilia here sharing this beautiful shadow boxed card designed for Fantasy dies. The main idea from this unusual card came from the die FD-917 that inspired me to create a kind of door with it, so I cuted out 4 times using thick white cardstock and to more in the same cardstock but leaving enough space around to create the doors and hinges the the paper left from cuting. I double layer the die for the front doors and for the back is a single layer to add stability to the doors. The gorgeous flowers and chipies helped me to embellish this card. Find all the products used listed below. The beautiful papers are from Once Upon a Springtime by Graphic 45. The gorgeous Lindy's sprays helped me to add color to my paper flowers.
