Cards, Cards, Cards with Graphic 45!
Is there someone in your life that needs some handmade joy today? Well, cards a perfect package for spreading some love. We have some gorgeous examples on the blog today that might just inspire your next cardmaking session. Nichola Battilana, Keri Sallee, and Romy Veul share 3 great ideas from our 3 winter collections. How fun!
First, we have a stunning set of Home Sweet Home cards from Nichola. Since they grow their own food and enjoy all their home has to offer, these cards are certainly made from Nichola's heart!
"We grow most of our own vegetables, collect eggs from our hens, make preserves and hang laundry on the line in the summer. The Home Sweet Home represents all of the things we love about our rural lifestyle. It’s bright and cheery, fun and clean. It’s a great collection that’s a breeze to work with. I created four cards with this collection, using one sheet of Core’dinations card stock as my base. I have no doubt that this will be a well used collection in this house :)" ~Nichola

Now, Keri show how to use just a few supplies to make gorgeous cards! We know summer is baby season, so maybe these were just the Precious Memories ideas you needed!
"For my 'Precious Memories' cards, I intentionally kept them very simple.
I wanted to show G45 fans how, by just mixing a few patterns and a title, you can make something beautiful and simple from G45 papers. In 'normal' life, simply beautiful and useful is what is needed most and G45 papers are perfect to make cards that are just that." ~Keri

Cards are always better when handmade...but when they're made with G45 papers, they're extra special. Fingers crossed and hoping to win this stunning collection of "Artisan Style".
