Graphic 45 2018 Brand Ambassador Audition

The moment is finally here... Despite of my rather tight schedule recently, I managed to get this posted in time hoping I'll get a chance to be considered to be part of Graphic 45 again. Missing all the fun I had previously, it was a good rest in between and I'd want to take this opportunity to come back and provide more creative inspirations. Heading straight ahead, here are the projects I created for this audition.

Project One: Cafe Parisian Candies Paper Jar (step-by-step tutorial)

Earth day is approaching (22nd April) and I think it'd be good to do up some upcycling project and transform them into daily useful items. Besides being a "junk collector", I do keep quite a number of disposable items which I find them as potential upcycling objects. And those jumbo toilet rolls are one of them which I kept many of them. For they are sturdy and hard enough, they provide very good bases for jar making. 

Notice a little butterfly among the flowers?

May it for your pantry storage or even as a gift, it doesn't cost that much to do up one. Trust me, it's not going to be that difficult. You just need to be a little patient while working on it. I decided to do up a step-by-step tutorial which is more clear than video tutorials.

Supplies List:

• Graphic 45 Cafe Parisian Paper Collection (12" x 12" paper pad and 6" x 6" pattern & solids)
• Prima Marketing Royal Menagerie Flowers (blue sprays and velvet leaves) 
• I Am Roses Mulberry Flowers (roses and lilies)
• Trims (fabric laces and pastel blue organza ribbon)
• Bazzill Basic Walnut Cream Cardstock
• Spellbinders Shapeabilities Fancy Tag Dies
• Upcycling Materials (jumbo toilet rolls, assorted think and thick cardboards/chipboards)

Project Two: Nature Sketchbook Merci Beaucoup Butterfly Duo Cards

The very next project I created are these duo thank you cards for a lovely couple who is coming to Singapore from the USA this week. Using the Nature Sketchbook paper collection, I made these dimensional cards using a pair of butterflies denoting the loveliness of the couple onto the contrasting patterns of the papers.

Supplies List:

• Graphic 45 Nature Sketchbook Paper Collection (12" x 12" paper pad and 6" x 6" pattern & solids)
• Graphic 45 Core'dinations Signature Series (ColourCore Cardstocks in dark cashmere and spring green)
• Tim Holtz Kraft Stock Metallic 8" x 8" Gold & Silver Cardstock
• Conqueror 100gsm High Quality Woven Finish Paper
• Spellbinders Club Kit Dies (Holiday Frames, Welcome Autumn Wreath)
• Trims (gold foil organza ribbon, double satin green/yellow ribbon)

I hope these have been a good source of inspiration and pleasing to the judging panel for this audition. I also wish all participants the very best for this year audition as well.

Cheers!!! And keep on creating to inspire!!! I shall see you all very soon again for subsequent creations and tutorials...
