Graphic 45 Handmade Gift Guide: Day Four
Welcome to Day 4 of the G45 Handmade Gift Tutorials! Today, we have a beautiful gift idea for your candy-loving friends from the amazing Andrew Roberts. Then, we have a most stunning tag from the wonderful Romy Veul. You are going to love the projects today!
Today is the LAST day to enter our Raining Cats & Dogs giveaway, make sure to take part below:
Now, enjoy this great tutorial from Andrew. He used The Twelve Days of Christmas so beautifully to make this perfect project!
"We were asked to create a gift tutorial project. I combined a christmas box and mini album. I love to try and make combination projects. I used the mini album that came with the Graphic 45 film canister as an album for christmas memories on the outside and this still made it possible to give a gift inside as well, In this case some chocolates.
Tip: Dont be afraid to make the outside of altered box projects interactive. Try making your mini album on the lid as I have done here or create tag pockets or fold outs. There are so many options you can try."~Andrew

"The Twas The Night Before christmas collection is so pretty and almost scraps itself, I think. I just love it when I can manage to make something in less than 2 hours and that is exactly what happened when I made this tag. I cut out the Santa and two clocks and it was like everything just fell on the right place without having to think about it. " ~Romy

I've not seen the film canisters before, an interesting idea....

The G45 film canisters is new to me. I haven't seen them online yet?? Both projects are terrific ideas. Love the idea of two gifts in one with the film canister album/candy tin. I'd love to try that. I have made my Christmas cards and tags using both the 12 Days of Christmas and Twas the Night Before Christmas, even inter-changing the collections, and, they all came out wonderful (thanks to your Gift Guide ideas!)
