Graphic 45 Design Team Application 2015

Hello everybody!

I am very excited to share with you my application to be a part of the next Graphic 45 design team! I included a variety of projects, all different lines of Graphic 45 paper (of course!)

Project #1: DENA Letter Collage with Artisan Style



I picked this paper set for my big collage project because I am so inspired by peacocks and vintage glam. Large scale collage is something I don't do very often, so I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone for this application project. I am so happy with how it came out. I was able to use a bunch of "bits" I had collected over time, like the peacock feather and cameo. Here are a few close up shots:






Project #2: Card Set with Sweet Sentiments



The color combinations in this paper set really spoke to me, and the compositions on the front of the cards came together quickly. This set goes really well with glitter Stickles- you can never have too much glitter! I used these cards to teach a class, and the ladies who made them with me had such a blast! It was a fun day.

Project #3: Manilla Envelope Mini Album with By the Sea



Another great paper line! These patterns and cut-outs worked perfectly in an album format. Who doesn't love the classic sailor look? On the inside of the pages, I made little pockets with notecards placed inside. I used this book as the example for a class I taught, so the decorations are simple.




Project #4: Card Set with 12 Days of Christmas



This was one of my first projects that I made with Graphic 45 paper, so these cards are special to me. I love all the metallic accents, the frilly details, the chipboard cut-outs. It was a very fun class to teach!

I hoped you enjoyed looking at my work!

For the love of coffee and peacocks...

Hello all!

Just a small update with a project I recently finished, and I'm super happy with it! I love peacock feathers and these colors. I also did a really cool gradient on the inside of the mug, and I hope the picture will let it show. :)







Please leave a comment and let me know what you think!

(PS- this cup is just for me, so it will not be available on my Etsy page)

Time for an update!

Hello! It has been SO LONG since I posted something, and a lot has happened!

Welcome to the craft scene- Detail Designs! It's my little stamp making company that I have started! Not much has been done with it lately due to personal life stuff, but I'm still trying to move forward. I have my Etsy shop up and running again, and here's some of the cards I've been working on!








I'm calling it my Country Chic collection! Every image was drawn by me, digitally copied, and hand colored individually. I used a couple different mediums, but the ones posted here are all done with Copic markers. Each are priced at $6.00 (plus shipping) and can be purchased at my Etsy store (HERE!)

Otherwise, stop by my stamp store and support some small business! My address is www.dd-crafts.com (OR CLICK HERE).
