Great Ideas with New Graphic 45
We are so excited about our new releases we debuted at Winter CHA 2015! Please look for these new collections in stores in early to mid-February. Today, we will be enjoying two gorgeous projects from Annette Green and Ginny Nemchak. Annette shares a gorgeous Precious Memories easel card and Ginny wows with Home Sweet Home altered art.
Don't forget to enter our contest this week! This great Time to Flourish prize pack could be yours!
Now, enjoy this stunning Precious Memories card from Annette. Take it away, Annette:
"Easel cards are some of my favorites to create, not only for the “wow factor” but for the additional real estate to use as many beautiful Graphic 45 papers as possible. Creating a shadow box effect isn’t difficult. Simply die cut the shape you like and cut away the center with a craft knife and ruler. I use ½” wide strips of chipboard for the frame walls, cover it with paper and adhere the die-cut shape to it. Voila! an impressive 3D effect." ~Annette

I love both of these lovely projects and the beautiful collections they're made from, but the rafflecopter giveaway is limited only to those who use twitter? I'm very disappointed in that!
