Pop-Up Box Card with Graphic 45 Botanical Tea - Card Class

Hi everyone! hope you are having a good day.

A while back I mentioned that I would be teaching two classes in June, here in lovely Victoria BC. The first class being the four Graphic 45 "Couture" cards I've already posted. On that same day I will be teaching a second Card class using Graphic 45's 'Botanical Tea". Gorgeous paper! Love it. I could work with it for months!

Anyway, I'm here today to show you he cards in question. I've decided to show all four to you today, so it will be a longer post.

I'll show them to you in the order as above, from left to right.

Brown & Blue

I think these colors worked very well together. The ATC from the 8 x 8 pad could have a sentiment stamped on it or left as is.

The flowers are from the Flowers set for the botanical Tea collection. I water misted them, scrunched them up, shaped them and let them dry. I decided I need to put ribbon on at an angle like this again. And for those taking taking the class here, I like to include photos from different angles.

The next card I'll show you will be the Pop-Up Bo Card.

I used one of the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea stamp sets for the sentiment on this card. More angle shots.

And the back...

Close up of the fussy cut layers...

And here you see that it fits into the A7 envelope nicely. Not mailable, but fits in the envelope to hand deliver.

I normally don't make a video about a card, but in the case of this Pop Up Box card I thought it might be useful in viewing it better.

Next we see that Pink & Green & Brown card.

I created a few tags using MFT's Traditional Tags Die-Namics, punched a hole in the top and added a bit o brown ribbon. Again the stamp is from one of the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea stamp sets. The adorable flower was created using their die cut paper flower set.

And the final card of the four is a Blue & Pink card.

I used Spellbinder's Square Postage stamp die and the Large Square Nestabilities to create the frame. And of course, some fussy cutting again. I have several detail photos for those taking the class.

Well, that's it for this class. I look forward to teaching this class in June.

Thank you for stopping by today to have a look. Hope you've been inspired to play with your Graphic 45 Botanical Tea paper.

Happy Papercrafting!

Gift or Treat Box & Wallet Mini Gift Set

I'm so excited that I finally allowed myself to work with Graphic 45's Botanical Tea paper!! I still have Sweet Sentiments, but I realized I'll never get to Botanical Tea before the new lines start to  come out!

This project is actually a set. A hexagonal treat or gift box, a matching wallet mini, and a beautiful A7 card (5 X 7). I had so much fun making this set! And because it's a set with three items, that means a longer post and I hope you don't mind. I'll try to keep the photos to a minimum. There's a walk-through video at the end of the post, too!

Let's begin with showing off the hexagonal box. It is made up by using Graphic 45's Regular Tags Album! All six tags!

Here is a collage of photos of this box.

Next, we'll have a look at the Wallet Mini, shall we.

This Wallet-Mini was so fun to make, I want to make more! It's perfect for carrying around in your purse as a brag book!

Here is the outside when unfolded.

And now for the card. I made this using the 8 x 8 pad and some scraps for the fussy cutting.

Here you can see more details as I walk you through the projects in this video.

Isn't this G45 Botanical Tea paper gorgeous? I look forward to making more with this paper. Tell me what you'd like to see me make using more of Botanical Tea.  Another mini, another box, another card, or perhaps a layout?

Thank you for joining me today. If you are interested in the instructions to the Hexagonal Box and Wallet-Mini hop on over to my other blog, Paper Architecture with Sabrina.

Till next time, Happy papercrafting!
