These aren't cards...they're works of art! Absolutely stunning! I love G45 collections, they are all so lovely and versatile!

I almost forgot...I would use the Steampunk Spells collection for cards for the teen and almost teen members of the family!

Lovely cards! Make an album with lots of colorful pocket pages.

I just finished using the wonderful Time to Flourish papers to make a set of cards and a perpetual calendar using the G45 Staples 12x12 easel album as a base. This is the best calendar type collection you have released so far! I plan to make at least 2 or 3 more of the calendars

Beautiful cards!

I would make greeting cards.
I do have two clock faces that I need to embellish. I'm going to get my G45 papers out and use those for the clocks. One is just a large, round face. The second looks like a bird cage and I think it will be fun to decorate.
thanks. Love the cards.

I would love to make a monthly journal. What a gorgeous collection Time To Flourish is :)

2nd attempt to post (this keeps happening here).
I am not an avid card maker & unless it's a very special person, wouldn't use G45. For me it's for altered art, the possibilities are endless.
Every time SP Spells is up for giveaway, I really cross my fingers!
Posted by: Caroline | May 26, 2015 at 09:46 AM
I would use Steampunk Spells to creat wonderful scrapbook pages and tags! A Time to Flourish would be used to creat beautiful tags like I've seen posted on the Graphic 45 blog.

I so enjoy creating cards with G45 paper collections! The images can be used with endless variety. The inside of Ginger's card has drawn my attention...that little flower in the lower corner is the perfect embellishment. Thanks for posting today!

Cards, tags and mini albums are my favorite things to do using G45 collections. Both projects today are very pretty.
Posted by: Karen Itzenhuiser | May 26, 2015 at 09:42 PM
I would love using these to make a 3D Cottage from an svg file using my Cricut Explore. The brilliance in G45 papers would be amazing!

The rafflecopter said to share what I would make with "Time To Flourish"... that is not the collection up for offer on the Giveaway but I would make a 2016 scrapbook album, doing a two page spread on the highlights of each month!
Thanks for the chance to win : )
