Graphic 45 "Fashion Forward" - Card Kit #2 - Extra Photos

Welcome back everyone!

Today's post is for those that purchased the 2nd card kit using the Graphic 45 'Fashion Forward' paper collection (8 x 8) that is available through Scrapbook Parade. These are photos that show a closer look at the cards for those that are assembling their kits from this post along with the instructions included in the kit.

Here is a quick look at all four cards,...

...and here is a look of the cards again shown in pairs.

Now we get to each individual card starting with the 'May' paper from G45's 'Fashion Forward'.

The next month is of course June, but this time no fussy cutting flowers and leaves from the paper. First off they are a bit small, and second a little too hard to fussy cut a lot of them out. So this time I used a stamps set from Altenew called 'Billowing Blossoms Set' (2 x 3) to create large flowers and leaves and used ink pads that closely matched the colours of the paper.

Here we have the paper for month of June, and once again went back to fussy cutting from the beautiful paper to embellish with some yellow ribbon.

The fussy cutting for the paper of July was a bit of a challenge with the type of flowers used for this month, but I think it was well worth the extra effort to get a unique flower to embellish with anlong with those leaves.

I hope that you can see which flowers are printed on the background paper, and which are the popped up fussy cut ones. I like the effect of these flowers.

Thank you for purchasing this card kit through Scrapbook Parade, and I hope you had fun with it.

Happy creating everyone!

Graphic 45 "Fashion Forward" - Card Kit #1 - Extra Photos

Hello Everyone!

Hope you are all comping well with the self-isolation we are going through for the past couple of months. In some ways life has really changed, but in others it's kind of normal for me as I stay home a lot anyway. I just can't go out as much as I'd like to.

Today I am posting more images for the G45 'Fashion Forward' kit #1 for those that purchased the kit from Scrapbook Parade. Hopefully they will help you with assembling the cards in your kit along with the instructions.

Here are the four cards you will make in this kit.

This first card in your instructions comes from the 1st page of the collection for January. I love using fussy cut paper images to create Graphic 45 cards.

This is the 2nd card in your instructions which is the 2nd page of the paper and it titled February.

This close up shows that I heat embossed the filigree metal heart with gold embossing powder, and attached the single rose bud to it.

Next we have the 3rd card from the kit, the month of March. I made a mistake on my card, and yours will be different. I mixed up the yellow/orange cardstock with the black cardstock. So yours will be the correct way I had planned it and wrote it in my sketchbook.

Lastly we have the 4th and final card from your kit for the month of April.

The fussy cut Deco Iris' are tucked in between layers of the tule bow.

I thank you for purchasing this kit and hope that you enjoyed putting these four cards together.

Til net time, Happy Creating!

Graphic 45 "Fashion Forward" - Card Kit #2

Welcome Back!

It's time to show you the second card kit using Graphic 45's 'Fashion Forward paper collection. If you didn't get a chance to see the first kit, check the previous post.

You will see that there are no sentiments on these cards. The reason being that each person can create their own to customize their cards.

These next four cards are Card Kit #2 designed by Sabrina using the beautiful Graphic 45 "Fashion Forward" papers, and is an easy kit to work with. The oval die cuts add a bit of simple elegance to each card. All the stamping, die cutting and PP cuts are done for you. All you need to do is cut up the black and gold foil cardstock to mat your PP. You will also need to do the fussy cutting. Each card has more than one spot to attach your own sentiment, or leave the cards as they are like a note card.

Kit #2 uses the May, June, July & August sheets from the Fashion Forward collection, but of course they can be used for any time throughout the year. These four cards are A7 in size (5 x 7).

Kit Cost: $20.00

Note: All 3 Fashion Forward Kits will be available March 28th. From March 28th through March 30th the close up photos of the cards will be posted for those that need a closer detailed look at the cards while they assemble them.
