Graphic 45 2018

Brand Ambassador Audition

Hello! My name is Tanya Cloete aka Tanya Scrapbooking.

What an awesome opportunity to be able to submit my 

application to stand a chance at being on this fabulous Design Team! 

Becoming part of the Graphic 45 Family would be a dream 
come true and a great honour!

I enjoy creating all types of projects from simple to 

mixed media layouts from cards and mini albums to canvasses but 

my most favorite is creating off the page projects especially with Graphic 45 papers!

My FIRST Project is an Off the Page...A Fairy House using the 

stunning Fairie Dust CollectionI really enjoyed making this piece and seeing 

how it all came together with the 

fussy cutting of elements and adding of die cuts and flowers.

I made this project with the help 
of my Silhouette.

My SECOND Project is another Off the Page...a set of 2 Mini Printers
Trays created with the stunning Portrait of a Lady Collection.

I used the Prima Embellishment boxes and removed the 

inner wooden piece to give some extra space. 

I can never seem to find such small printers 

trays and this came in quite handy...What a lovely way to up cycle! 

(Pardon the photo being a bit blurry)

I then painted the trays with chalk paint each with a 
different colour (Andrew and Cornelias Green) and

 then dry brushed both with Albert Umber. Don't worry about painting 

(except cover a little on the sides) 

the inside as that will be covered with the pattern paper.

Each tray measures 7cm by 30cm and so 

I proceeded to cut the sheets the same size.

The 2 side frames inside measure 7cm each and the middle frame

measures 15cm. I trimmed each piece to 6.5cm (side frames) 

and the middle frame to 14.5cm to fit leaving a small border.

After adhering the sheets into the frames

I added the metal handles to each.

I then fussy cut some elements from the 

sheets in the Collection.

I then inked the edges with distress ink and matted the 

picture frames onto pink and brown cardstock.

I embossed the wooden words (With Love) and the 

heart shapes with Lindy's Stamp Gang Embossing 

Powders and removed the heart shapes from their frames.

I then cut some leaves using one of the 

sheets from the collection and 

the Creative Expression Olive Branch Die.

I added adhesive foam to the fussy 

cut elements to give it some 

dimension when adhered to the frames of the tray.

I arranged all the flowers, metal embellishments, string and pearls as to 
my liking and adhered using my glue gun.
