Hot Air Balloon by Nilmara Quintela 
Design ID 193648
Assembly Instructions: 
https://nilmaraquintela.com.br/pap-caixa-balao

Cut a Hot Air Balloon from brown cardstock
 and the12x12 pattern sheets and assemble 
accordingly. Add washi tape to the balloon 
and bottom piece.

Tip : Use red double side tape to adhere the
 balloon. This makes assembly easy and will 

prevent it from falling apart. 

Cut a few bows and assemble.

Tip : Curl the two bow strips forming a curve 
using the back of pencil or similar object. 
This makes folding the end pieces
 together a little easier. 

Fasten with a brad.

Fussy cut a few elements from the 8x8 

pad and mat onto brown cardstock leaving a

 small border. Add eyelets to each.

Cut a few die cut shapes and fussy cut 

some butterfly elements.

Cut two borders from the pattern sheets 
and punch the edge on one side with a border punch.

Cut a few paper rosettes from the pattern sheets.

Add the metal keys to the rosettes and 

metal brads to the centre of the 2 big butterflies.

Tip : Adhere the metal pieces with soft
 gloss gel ensuring they stay in place.

Add the metal chain to the bows.

Poetic Rose is such a stunning collection with

I love as well as two of my favorite colors

 (design ID 87055 and assembly instructions here).

it off with some pretty pink lace for the handle.

Twelve Days of Christmas
Christmas Cards

Hello dear G45ers! 

Happy to share with you my  project for this month 
#G45Card. I made two Christmas Cards featuring 
the stunning Twelve Days of Christmas DCE!

I used lots of cutting dies to create these
pretty cards. I enjoy die cutting from paper
and using these as layers on my projects.

Herewith the Supplies and Instructions you 

may use to recreate such a project:

Graphic 45 Supplies used:

Twelve Days of Christmas DCE
Metal Door Plates and Knobs
Washi Tape Set
Ivory Flowers

Other Supplies:

Various Dies
Embossing Folders
White Cardsstock

String and Sequins
Glitter Swirl Embellishments
Soft Gloss Gel

Cut a card from white cardstock measuring
 20 cm x 11 cm and score in half.

Cut a piece from the collection sheet to fit the cards
leaving a small border. Add washi tape along the side
and adhere to the card.
Tip: Cut a long strip of the washi so that it overlaps
and fold it over the pattern piece before adhering.

Cut a few die cut shapes from the collection sheets using
cutting dies. Cut a square piece from white cardstock and
emboss using an embossing folder.

Layer all the elements before adhering.

Add the metal embellishments adhere with soft
gloss gel or glossy accents.

Add the string to the big flower first and then 

adhere.

Add the collection chipboard elements and glitter

swirl embellishments.

Prima Lavender Frost +
Moon Child Collections
Nov Color Challenge 
Mixed Media Canvas 
 'Dream Passionately'

I love this color palette for our color 

challenge this month such a pretty 

combination to play with. I have decided 

to go with a vintage style Mixed Media 

Canvas and here I combined the beautiful 

Lavender Frost and Moon Child collections.

 Inspired by my fellow teammates I also 

added some puzzle pieces here and there. 

I used white gesso and crackle texture paste 

for my background and colored

 it with some of Finnabair's metallique 

and sparks paint. Could not resist to add
 the cute little resin scooter embellishment

 that I have been hoarding forever! I

 finished the piece off by adding some

 texture fantasy rust pastes randomly

on the flowers and embellishments.
