October 2022 – Elisabeth Hogarth Designs

Hello again

I have the perfect pick-me-up collection to brighten the shorter days ahead. “Little Things” from @Graphic45 is full of delightful characters, fabulous flora and joyous, uplifting colours. I have created an octagonal album and a set of eight cards which I would love to share with you.

The octagonal album is a kit set from Oakwood Direct which is based in the UK. It includes simple instructions for construction. Then I decorated the front cover with the main image from “Little Things” and coordinated it with the Floral Assortment.

Next, I moved on to decorating the inside pages.

Finally, I used the “scraps” to create a set of eight matching cards.

You can see more of this album, the cards and the second set of cards I created with the “Little Things” stamp set in my YouTube video

I would love to know your thoughts on this adorable collection.

Love Elisabeth xx

Hello again and Happy World Card Making Day 2022!

October 1st is World Card Making Day so let us celebrate this great hobby and be proud of all the cards we create and send. I was fortunate to receive two design team parcels this morning. I opened up the larger box which held a plethora of crafting goodies from the team @Graphic45

12×12 Paper collections

I chose to work with the new Let’s Get Cozy, Cafe Parisian, Home Sweet Home and Little Things. I will create projects for each collection and share the videos on my YouTube channel

Embellishments, Dies and Card Club

In addition, I opted for the Folder and Sentiment dies, Card Club Volume 11, Journalling cards and Ephemera. Everything compliments the 12×12 paper collections.

G45 Brand Ambassador Unboxing

I know how lucky I am to receive these generous packages. I do work hard to create content and share inspiration so that I can show my love of Graphic 45. I know that some of you enjoy the unboxing process which is why I show the products above in an unboxing video.

Card Club Volume 11 – Card 2 – Let it Snow

In addition to the unboxing of the G45 goodies, I decided to celebrate World Card Making Day by trying out one of the card designs from Card Club Volume 11. This was a first for me and it was a great experience and one I shall repeat. The card on the left features Let It Snow. The card on the right features Let’s Get Cozy.

Let’s Get Cozy

I fell in love with the colours and the imagery of this collection immediately. You can see a quick flick through of the papers in the video at around the 17-minute mark. Then I use the z-fold card above to create another holiday card with Let’s Get Cozy.

My latest YouTube video is a great mix of new products, mini card tutorials, and other ways to use your Graphic 45 products. Follow the link below to watch it now. If you enjoy watching then please do like the video, subscribe to my channel and hit the bell for new notifications.

Thank you for being a part of this great card-making journey.

Enjoy your weekend.
