Hello, Friends! Kathy here with a brand new Saturday Showcase feature. This is where we take time to shine a spotlight on some of the products available at
The Funkie Junkie Boutique. Graphic 45 has recently released their Garden Goddess Paper Collection, and I have fallen hard for it! This vibrant garden themed papers are accented with gorgeous Art Nouveau style images, beautiful sentiments and intricate patterns.
I love to create projects that showcase all that a collection has to offer, so I designed a very simple 7" x 5" card folio with a 1/2" spine. Distressed/painted edges, machine stitching, custom dyed seam binding ribbon, textiles, florals, and metal charms give this folio a wonderful shabby chic vibe.
Many of you have asked how I create these 5" x 7" card folio bases, and I answer that question during the video tour of this folio. So for now, we will just take a little peek at some of the inside elements.
This is a simple folio with waterfall feature on the left and a pocket/folio insert on the right.
The waterfall is made up of six 4 1/4" x 4 3/4" and is held shut with a magnetic closure.
The area behind the waterfall houses an interactive flap and insert page that makes room for even more photos.
The pocket page on the right contains a 4" x 6" folio with magnetic closure. I just love the sayings in this collection!
There are 8 panels in the folio, and I managed to work in some fun spots for journaling and inserts.
While I had the collection out on my work space, I decided to use my scraps to create some Mixed Media tags.
The base for both tags is a Graphic 45 Large Kraft Tag. The mixed media background is created with the Tim Holtz 3-D Botanical Texture Fade. I can't seem to get enough of that tool! This time, I tried a few new mediums on the embossed tags, and I'll share that process with you in the video below.
The generous size of these tags allowed me to score a pocket on my second creation. And of course, where there's a pocket....I will fill it!
I hope I've managed to share my love for this glorious collection with you. To take a closer look at these projects, please enjoy this short YouTube video.
Thank you so much for joining me! I hope you find time to get your craft on this weekend!
Cheerio,
kathy
