Get Inspired with Cityscapes
Wow, do we have some amazing projects with our new collection Cityscapes today! Jim, the Gentleman Crafter and Danielle Copley will blow you away with their great ideas! Get excited.
First, we have Jim, the Gentleman Crafter's incredible handmade double decker bus made from Cityscapes and chipboard. That's right, he created this from scratch with his incredible imagination! We are in awe of Jim's wonderful work!
"The Beautiful city of London comes to the forefront with another iconic project…The famous Double Decker Buses have always been enchanting to me…of course I always clamored to the top for a more majestic view of the city. In my version of the double decker, you lift up the back piece and pull out a thin but long mini that can be filled with traveling quotes, travel pictures and souvenirs picked up along the way." ~Jim, The Gentleman Crafter
Supply List
Cityscapes Collection
Chipboard
Next, Danielle makes a brilliant Cityscapes travel album. Take it away, Danielle:
"I love making mini albums and I knew Cityscapes would make the perfect album to store photos of my family’s travels. Using a simple album page style, I was able to make the most of this gorgeous paper to frame the photos that will go in it. When I saw the new Graphic 45 Policy Envelopes I knew how fantastic they would coordinate with my album. They added the perfect pockets for our travel mementos and additional space for more photos and journaling tags. I just slit the bottoms open to attach to my album binding and they fit my album like they were made for it and came already perfectly coordinated!
Tip: A great way to add charms to the spine of your album is to use a Graphic 45 Ornate Label Holder. Punch a hole in the pull towards the edge with a heavy duty hole punch. Add a chain and some charms with some jump rings.
Tip: Don’t have the perfect matching charms? Make some by fussy cutting your favorite images from your design paper. Back them with cardstock or another fussy cut image that matches the shape to make it sturdier. Similar to what I did with the stamps on my album spine. Punch a hole in the corner and add a jump ring!" ~Danielle
