Graphic 45 Just A Note Times Nouveau Card

Hello everyone. Today I have a card to share with you using the new rereleased Graphic 45 Times Nouveau Paper Collection.

My card measures 4-1/4 x 5-1/2. I layered together some solid cardstock along with the design paper to the front of the card. I added dimension to my card by cutting some fun foam to size and glueing it to the back of my layers. This is a great way to add dimension to a larger space instead of using a bunch of pop dots.

I fussy cut the pear from the paper and added it to the center of the card. I used some Maya Road chunky twine to the front and tied a bow. I added a button and some ivory twine to the center.

I added some of the cherries that I fussy cut from the design paper to the inside of my card. I inked around the edges with vintage photo distress ink. The sentiments are stamped using the This & That stamp set from CardzTv.

Have a great week!

Creating Video on My Sisters Scrapper

Creating Video on My Sisters Scrapper

I’ve had some requests about how we do videos. My husband takes care of the technical stuff. I’m the creative talent, so I’ll let him explain. He promised to keep it short.

We use an iPhone 5s as our video camera. It shoots 1080p HD and does extremely well in low light. That’s important because we only shoot in natural light – the color is more accurate.

A Glif holds the iPhone and attaches to a tripod.

iPhone and Glif

The tripod is a pro model – Vanguard Alta Pro 263AB 100 Aluminum Tripod – with a center post that can be set horizontally, allowing the iPhone to be positioned directly above the scrapbook or card.

We use a condenser microphone – Blue Microphones Snowball USB Microphone (Electric Blue) – to improve the sound quality. It comes in colors besides electric blue. (My wife wanted pink.)

The microphone doesn’t plug directly into the iPhone 5s, so we purchased a Lightning to USB Camera Adapter.

iMovie software is used to produce the final video. It comes free with every Mac.

We use Mac computers. Video production is done on an iMac, but sometimes a MacBook Air.

Graphic 45 Mother Goose Backpack Gift Box and Mini Album

Hello everyone. Today I want to share a project I created for the Graphic 45 blog. We were asked to create a Pinterest inspired project.

I saw this really cute backpack gift box and I thought it would look adorable in the Mother Goose papers. My backpack is a little larger than the original project because I wanted to add a mini album inside.

Graphic 45 Time to Celebrate Pocket Style Mini Album

Hello everyone! I am so excited to finally share my project with you. I created a pocket style mini album for the Graphic 45 booth at Summer CHA! Eek! I used the gorgeous new Time to Celebrate paper collection! Did you know that this is Graphic 45’s forty fifth paper collection? How awesome is that! Unfortunately I didn’t have enough time to create a video before sending this mini album off, but I do have several photos!

Let me know what you think!

Check out the video that Scrapbook.com did showcasing my mini album at the Graphic 45 booth.

Miss Kate Cuttables Baby Girl Dutch Fold Card

Miss Kate Cuttables Baby Girl Dutch Fold Card

Hi everyone! Thanks for stopping by! Today I have a fun card to share with you. This is called a Dutch fold card. My inspiration for this type of card came from Dawn Griffith.

When I saw this adorable cut on the Miss. Kate website I knew I wanted to use it for a card to give my nephew and his wife for the birth of their new baby girl.

I used some pretty papers from the Graphic 45 Botanical Tea 6×6 patterns and solids paper pad. I also used some Stampin’ Up Cardstock.

I added the cute giraffe to the inside of the card and stamped my sentiment using the “Oh Baby” set from CardzTv.

Of course I just had to add a few bling to the flower centers for sparkle and some linen thread at the top.

That’s my card! Have a great week!
