Delightful Ideas with our Deluxe Collector's Editions
We are overjoyed that our G45ers are as excited about our re-released collections as we are. These collections are called our Deluxe Collector's Editions and come with 12 double-sided papers, chipboard, and cardstock stickers. Today, Joanne Bain and Donna Espiritu share two amazing ideas with our Deluxe Collector's Editions. Let the inspiration begin!
First, Joanne has a brilliant idea with An ABC Primer that is also just perfect for back-to-school season. How fun!
"Blackboards are all the rage here at the moment and I thought why not alter one using the gorgeous ABC Primer collection. This little blackboard is also magnetic so it has a double purpose it can be used as a stylish blackboard or it will work perfectly for allowing the kids to use their abc magnets or numbers to stick to it." ~Joanne
Supply List

ABC Primer Cardstock Sticker Sheet

#4500422 Metal Brad Staples.
Next, we have this awesome idea from Donna using our Book Box Staples and Claw Feet Staples. This awesome altered project uses Times Nouveau. Just wonderful!
"I'm torn between the metals and boxes when it comes to choosing my favorite Graphic 45 staples. So for my project, I chose both!
This altered book box is just one of my storage for ribbons and pins. I made some paper thread spools and altered some wooden clips by covering them with small paper strips and stickers. The divider is a piece of cardboard covered with some pretty papers from the collection." ~Donna
