Creative Cutter Room, Graphic 45 Paper Projects and Challenge

I love being part of the Creative Cutter Room Design Team!! I Was so excited and honored to find out we would be sponsored from Graphic 45!!

Have you seen the amazing papers they have?? They specialize in vintage crafting supplies representing the 1920's and 30's!

I am working with the Playtimes Past Collection. This amazing paper is two sided, has amazing color and cuts like butter! And the best part is, I have had a stash of vintage embellishments just sitting around waiting for the perfect paper! And here it is!


For my first card I used the Tinker Toys Paper, also known as Connect the Dots





Recipe:
Front and back of Connect the Dots.
Cut circles of chipboard and paper using the Cricut
Adhered circles of  paper to the chipboard
Punched a hole in the center using my Crop-A-Dile 
Added a brad
Using opposite side of the paper, punched holes
added eyelets 
threaded Martha Stewart Twine through.
Using toothpicks I adhered the three tinker toy circles together.

The next paper I used was Dollie's Teaparty.

When I first saw this paper the first words that I thought of was "I remember when..." My sister and I used to play with these paper dolls!




Receipe:
PaperDoll Dress up to make the little girls
Peachy Keen faces and hand cut these adorable dresses.
Circle punch to punch the circles with the tea cup and flower. 
The back side of this adorable paper is the black with super cute flowers!
Perfect for the background.
Remember Stamp
Distressed the edges of all the papers with Tim Holtz distressing Inks.

Here is my favorite!
Using Life's A Ball Paper:



 Back of the tag:




Recipe:
Tag cut from Plantin Schoolbook 3 Times
Cut one tag at bottom and scallop punch
Distress Ink Tim Holz
Making memory Brads
K&Company Paper Flowers (Inked)
K&Company Die Cuts & Flowers
Me&My big Ideas Sticker

  1. I came from youtube where I learned how to make a butterfly card, sorry your chicks were sick. My DH got me a CricutE for Christmas, and I so wish I had the $ to run out and buy all the paper, ink & stamps I want *sigh* But My BD is next Monday, so who knows. I love this Graphic 45 paper, esp, the Springtime collection! OK domestic goddess is cute too. Your projects are fantastic. I am now a follower!

  4. These are some awesome creations..love the Tinker toy one and the tag is fabulous with their cut outs on it.I do love Graphic 45! I love all their collections but I do really love the fairies on the Once in a springtime. So neat how they cut them out and make them fly when doing projects. Their papers are great for cutting out the images and making them 3d. Thanks for the chance of winning.
    Have a great week!

  10. What great projects - and those papers are gorgeous! I've never heard of Graphic 45. I don't think it's available here. I checked out the site and LOVE the Curtain Call papers. Communique comes a close second though.

  24. Hey Carri, First I want to say thanks for the kind words about my poor scrap supplies that met an early, and unexpected death. It means so much, when people like you take the time to leave a kind word. Then I want to say that who doesn't like Graphic 45??? I have it, and love it, but then I am afraid to use it, because if I use it, then I wont have it anymore, but I think that I might break out the paper(that didn't turn into paste) and be a big girl and use it!

  25. Oh, and Once Upon a Springtime is my fav right now!! Karen<3

  27. Whoa, I was scrolling through the post and looking at the pics on Creative Cutter--you made ALL those?? You ARE a busy bee, Carri!

    The papers are gorgeous, and all of your designs are inspiring--thank you!

    I'm following; there is no way to pick an absolute favorite graphic 45 paper, but I checked out the new spring set, and the postcards on the Woodland Fantasies paper are making me pretty happy right now!
