Halloween Treats with Graphic 45

  Mini-Tag-Album,-Halloween-In-Wonderland,-By-Joanne-Bain,-Product-by-Graphic-45,-Photo-6

Today, Joanne Bain and Magda Cortez have Halloween perfection in store for us! Joanne shows us a magical way to create a stunning album, and Magda reminds us to keep those precious scraps to make something gorgeous!


Mini-Tag-Album,-Halloween-In-Wonderland,-By-Joanne-Bain,-Product-by-Graphic-45,-Photo-6

Let Joanne take you away to Wonderland! What a stunning album!

"I love the playing card sheet of paper in the ‘Halloween In Wonderland’ collection, it is actually what my inspiration was when creating the mini album. All of the pages were created using the Large Black Tag Album tags. Each tag was very slightly trimmed, scored and then folded to create my folded pages, they were then glued back to back around the edge only as I wanted to create pocket for the smaller tags to slide into." ~Joanne

Decorate for Fall & Halloween with G45!

  OLGA SEPTEMPER CURIOSITIES HALOWEEN IN WONDERLAND1 (4)

Today, we have decor ideas that are perfect for Fall and Halloween! Sandy Trefger and Olga Heldwein hit it out of the park with their clever ideas.

Flower Mason Jar, World's Fair, Children's Hour, by Sandy Trefger, Product by Graphic 45, Photo 005

First, Sandy celebrates her favorite season with her gorgeous home decor piece!

"Autumn is quite possibly my favorite season of all here in the USA—cooler air, leaves falling, pecans  & pumpkins (for pies), pretty mums, other autumn flowers and when it gets cold enough—hot chocolate or cider!  I’ve had a beautiful vintage mason jar in my craft room for a couple of years that I purchased at an antique mall and have always wanted to turn it into a pretty yet rustic flower vase.  When deciding on something to create for Graphic 45, I took the jar off the shelf, pulled out a couple of Graphic 45 paper collections and went to work.  I love how it turned out!  A band of the World’s Fair paper and a contrasting decorative center piece to hide where the 12” band didn’t quite meet, Fall stickers and chipboard from the Children’s Hour collection, burlap twine, lace and a couple of pretty flowers  pulled it all together for a quick, simple Fall Décor piece.  Add some flowers from the market and it’s done.  Happy Crafting" ~ Sandy

Flower Mason Jar, World's Fair, Children's Hour, by Sandy Trefger, Product by Graphic 45, Photo 005

Tip: Make your crafting flower stash go a bit further by cutting larger flowers into half or even thirds.  Use a hot glue gun to place the flower parts on your project behind other flowers, lace, bows, etc.  Folding a piece of a flower in half will make it look fuller.  Add more to your craft arrangement by cutting very thin strips of the paper and curling them around a cuticle stick or other small round stick to make tendrils.  Glue the tendrils into the floral piece.

A Monday for a DIY Notebook & Album!

  DIY Notebook, Steampunk Debuntante, Tutorial by Alexandra Morein, Product by Graphic 45, Photo 4

Today, we have incredible ideas from our designers! Alexandra Morein and Elena Olinevich show you awesome notebooks and albums that will inspire you for Halloween and beyond! Take a look!

DIY Notebook, Steampunk Debuntante, Tutorial by Alexandra Morein, Product by Graphic 45, Photo 1

First, Alexandra creates a perfect Steampunk notebook! Check out her video tutorials below!

"I have recently created several notebooks and found it very interesting and refreshing, after making mini albums. Today I want to share another notebook, featuring the Deluxe Steampunk Debutante collection.

The signatures inside the notebook were made using plain printing paper, and they are connected to the spine without any glue, using the book binding method which is called “Button Hole Stitch”. I’ve added the beads to the threads in several places and I really like how everything turned out, the colors and the designs of the paper, of course, played here an important role too.


I am sharing a video tutorial for creating the notebook, including the process of embellishing the cover. If you want to have a look at my way of doing it, you are welcome to watch the 2 parts of the video tutorial." ~Alexandra

Halloween in Wonderland Album, by Elena Olinevich, product by Graphic45, Photo6

Now, Elena shares a perfect Hallowe'en in Wonderland album! She has so many great techniques in her process video tutorial below. Love!

"I am a big fan of Alice in Wonderland  book. I collect them and have a variety of them . There are many illustration artists and piblicators who make my collection so big.

So that is why it was a fun chance for me to create an album - as if I am the editor in chief and I can determine what to include into my book , what pictures to use and so on.

 The result of it  you can check in my video tour - I made an album with many details and extra secret pages and envelopes. I used different Policy envelopes - they are so great for such kind of Albums.

 I also tried to make something mysterious, so for one of my spread I took the black cardstock, some die cuts and start using paste, paints, glitter, beads. If you are interested what has happened you can check my video tutorial for this spread. I also share some tips how to use Policy envelopes in a different way. So please, enjoy." ~Elena
