Graphic 45 Card Madness: Amazing Creations from Nicole Eccles, Tara Orr, and Yuka Hino
Hello Crafters,
Happy Friday! It's been such a great week here at Graphic 45! There's so much excitement over our new collection The Magic of Oz! And it's Friday which means that we have a winner for this week's blog prize! Firstly, we want to thank everyone who posted links to our new Facebook page this week. This week's randomly chosen blog prize winner is Marie Ree Wray. Marie, please email us at info@g45papers.com with your contact information so that we can send you your prize. We will have another awesome blog contest on Monday and we hope you will all join us!
Today we have some absolutely gorgeous crafts from our Design Team. We're really going all out with the copious amounts of crafts on today's blog. It's all about amazing cards today. We've got stunning creations from Tara Orr, Nicole Eccles, and Yuka Hino! So lets get to it! First up is this amazingly detailed 3-D card by Nicole Eccles. Nicole's work is always so innovative and fun. This card is going to knock your socks off! Wow, check it out!
"What I love most about this card is the ability to use it for so many occasions. With a few little changes, and some quick printing this could be a father’s day card, birthday card or invitation. Add some pictures to the inside and turn it into a little mini book. Also, everything about the card folds down flat by just un tucking 2 flaps, making it easier to put in an envelope, or give as a gift. This one is just perfect for my mom, she loves all the vintage circus images, and Graphic 45. Especially the elephants!! Couldn’t have been more perfect!" -Nicole Eccles
Wow, crafters, are you blown away yet? Wait, there's more! Next we have an amazingly layered circus stamp card by the fabulous Tara Orr. Tara is well known for her wonderfully imaginative and elegant creations. Today's card is classic Tara, as you will soon see. Have a look at this wonderful work of art!
"I have completely fallen in love with the rich, warm tones found in the Le Cirque collection. They work wonderfully for both masculine or feminine cards and as such, I decided to make a 'blank' card for one of those occasions when you are invited last minute to an event, need a fantastic personal card and haven't the time to pick one up at the store. I love the fact that each of Graphic 45's collections mesh so seamlessly with one another. For this card I combined, Botanicabella, Le Cirque and Transatlantique!" -Tara Orr

I'm doing an altered book with Le Cirque-this has been perfect inspiration for my project.thank you to all your amazing designers.
Posted by: Beth W | June 03, 2011 at 07:16 AM
Man, these are absolutely fantastic!!
What originality and ingenuity,such creative designers. Makes everyone want to go and buy every single Graphic paper available!
I just made some Graphic 45 Step Cards inspired by Susan of Australia in the Step Card Gallery of Splitcoast Stampers. Everyone who saw the cards wanted to make Graphic 45 cards. Susan would be a great candidate for your design team also!
