A Card and Clock from our Graphic 45 Ambassadors!
Today, our Ambassadors wow with incredible projects. We have two amazing projects from Jim, the Gentleman Crafter and Yumi Muraeda with an awesome upcycling idea using our DIY Craft Rolls. Also, there's a new blog contest this week! We're in for a treat!
First, Jim shares a great way to make a creative card with Enchanted Forest. How amazing!
"Modeled from the front entrance of Leeds Castle in Kent, England. As all of my cards, I make them out of thinner chipboard. The card is made basically into a pocket with a pull out shaped card to write your sentiment. For a little whimsy, the front door comes down with a pull of the Graphic 45 Stamped Brad to reveal a lady-in-waiting…Great card for a child, renaissance & medieval festival lovers or castle enthusiasts." ~Jim, the Gentleman Crafter
Supply List

Graphic 45 Stamped Metal Brads –Bronze
Medium Weight Chipboard
Black Copic Marker (To cover the white paper core edges.)

Now, Yumi shares the most amazing clock she upcycled using Times Nouveau and our DIY Craft Rolls!

I bought this old clock old Jack of all trades shop in Los Angels. I wanted to make some up cycle thing. I think this clock became so nice than the before so I wanted to say Version upgrade lol. You can make any Version upgrade with this New Graphic 45 New DIY Craft paper so enjoy!!
