Graphic 45 Halloween Decor

This year for Autumn my new neighbor bought an adorable wreath to hang on their front door! Of course being the crafty goddess that I am, I thought to myself...I should make something for my front door!

I immediately started digging for inspiration, but when my new G45 paper showed up from the eP store...I KNEW that's what I was using.

First I started with a 12x12 sheet. Use your favorite punch or deco scissors for the top 2 edges. Crease the bottom corner so it rolls and use score tape along the edge that will be on the outside.

Roll your paper using the inside edge as your working side and slowly roll it into the exposed score tape. Make the roll as tight or as loose as you want. Cut 2 squares of 8x8 from a coordinating paper for the 2 smaller cones along each side and repeat the process. NOTE: I would punch holes and insert my hanging ribbon NOW. I did mine after it was embellished and it was a pain.

Use an Archival ink to add color to resin pieces. Resin is non porous so distress ink and pigment ink will wash right off. Wendy Vecchi archival ink is perfect for this but since I don't have orange I used my StazOn.

I used Archival ink in Potting Soil to accent the piece and highlight. 

Fussy cut a pice for frame and a few pieces for the cones themselves. Add some dollar store raffia, some pheasant feathers from your hubby's last hunting trip, and embellish with loads of Petaloo!!!

I also used some glossy accents to add rusty hinge distress glitter randomly along the flowers and the paper pieces.

Here's a close up of the completed frame.

So get crafty this Halloween ePeers and make something spooky for your home!!

It's Raining Cats & Dogs!

Good morning!  Sherry with you today and I have a 5.5 card to share using the Graphic 45 Raining Cats & Dogs Collection.  It’s been some time since I’ve worked with Graphic 45 and this card was a joy to create.  I love how all the papers in the collection compliment each other and can be mixed and matched so you don’t need to add other non-Graphic 45 elements unless you want.   I also used Graphic 45 6x6 Patterns and Solids for this collection to add more interest.



The edges of the background papers were distressed with scissors and the edges were sponged with Antique Linen Distress Ink.  Brads were added to a few of the corners for interest.



A frame was made by gluing a solid color paper from the collection to chipboard and then die cutting it with ovals.  The cat image was also glued to chipboard and then cut out (to make it sturdier within the oval frame).  The flower was die cut from another sheet of the paper and the leaves were die cut from vanilla card stock, then colored with Mowed Lawn and Peeled Paint Distress Inks.



The ribbon was dyed with Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Thanks for stopping by and joining me today!

Hi Monica here to share my 1st official post as an Eclectic Paperie DT.  I was so excited when I was asked to join the team after my time as a GDT.  So I created this Altered G45 box and used some gesso, glimmer mist and so much more!!

 I sprayed mist all over the box and applied gesso sparingly all over.  I then used TCW stencils in different place on the box as well.

 Side look at the box normally I dont do such dark sultry colors but I loved how the blue came out on this piece.

Thanks for stopping by everyone!!

Hi everyone Monica her with my final post for Eclectic Paperie and I want to say thank so much for having me and I hope everyone enjoyed my projects.  For my final post I decided to do something normal I guess you could say.  I figured I would show everyone how Eclectic Paperie has products that every crafter can use.  So I made a G45 mini album with the gorgeous Couture patterned paper I received from EP.

 

2 of my fave projects I did for Eclectic Paperie!

Thanks again for having me and Happy Hump Day!

Family

Mary-Ann here.....It in the midst of all the hustle and bustle of Thanksgiving last year, my mom, my sister and I were together.  It wasn't until last minute, when the sun had already gone down that we decide to capture a picture.  With the wrong lens (cause the right one was 4 hrs way!) I had my friend snap a few.  Even dark and dimly lit, you can tell that we were happy to be together.  I thank God daily for blessing me with two of my best friends.  

I created this layout with the amazingly beautiful Botanical Tea by Graphic 45.  You can probably tell by now, that something like Graphic 45 most often intimidates me.  This line, however, has got to be the best they have ever made.  It is stunning.  You have to see it to believe it.  Of course it is for sale in the shop!!

You can see here where I added a little gelato with water to create a small pink watercolor effect.  I also colored my Maya Road Butterfly with green gelato and water.  The stamps that you cut from the paper, are just delicious, back with foam tape for embellishment.

I added a few leftover Fancy Pants Resin Flowers and metal trinkets from Farmhouse Paper Company that I had in my stash.  A few drops of paint and my layout was complete.  

Below is what you need to replicate this super easy layout.  (I did start with 2 12x12 sheets of the Botanical Tea paper.)
