Graphic 45 UPCYCLE Project

Recently Graphic 45 had an awesome sale where I purchased three different bundles! One of the bundles was Graphic 45 Twelve Days of Christmas. At the time I was not sure what I might do with collection. A few days ago I was cleaning out a closet and came across a Beckman box.

Here is what I did to “recycle” the box!

What do you think?

Papercraft Society Box One Cardmaking Magic — Flower Dies

Graphic 45 2020 Brand Ambassador Audition

I have enjoyed my past designer opportunities and publishing opportunities for paper crafting projects. I enjoy working with Graphic 45 products and decided to throw my idea for a Ocean Blue Party and Gift Boxes creations into the hat for consideration. The one project I am showcasing is a original design card folio with cards, card directions, and a folio mini album that can be a gift. The link for the Ocean Blue Card Folio is: https://youtu.be/-llZtEx-rAA

Additionally I attached for everyone to use a step by step PDF file to make several party and gift boxes ideas! Feel free to use with Graphic 45 paper or change and adapt for your own party theme!  Graphic 45 Ocean Blue Instructional Guide Graphic 45 Ocean Blue Instructional Guide

I saw a video for this mini album with directions using dies.  https://youtu.be/mqU6CeM-IPA

http://crealies.blogspot.com/2018/05/mini-album-with-crealies-dies.html 

Instead of the use of dies I cut my pages 4 3/4 inches by 6 1/4 inches, and scored base pages on one short side 1/2 inch and on the pull up or pull down pages scored 1/2 inch on one long side. I added 4 1/4 inches by 6 1/4 inches base pages! I did not use any dies for the album. The edge was punched with a zig zag punch! What do you think?

Fabulous Friday Heartfelt Creations Pull Up Concertina Card

I originally came across pictures for a pull up card in a British paper crafting magazine with metric measurements. A second name for this type of interactive card is called a lantern card. I sat down with my metric ruler one night and made this pull up card. The next day I came across a video through Pinterest. The measurements on the video were different than the one I made. The video is excellent in showing very easily how to make this WOW factor card and can be located at https://youtu.be/5gMeR8z9PEM!  I made my card to fold flat and fit into a 6 inches x 6 inches envelope for mailing with extra postage because it is a square card.
