Paper Crafting Projects for Mom with "Grace"
Mother's Day is just a few months away, so why not go ahead and get a head start on some projects for Mom with our new "Grace" collection!
One item that you will find in stores with our "Grace" collection is our new Paper Crafting Assortment. In this assortment you will find a wide variety of coordinating paper crafting items. Basically, everything you need to make multiple projects, all for one great price!
I was recently asked by a friend to create some coordinating baby items for a new mother. Without much thought at all, I reached for my "Grace" Paper Crafting Assortment and got started.
I first decided to create a mini album using paper bags and the 8x8 papers { included in the Paper Crafting Assortment.} I went with a paper bag album simply because I love the tuck away extra tags for journaling & photos into the ends of the bags. After cutting down the paper to fit my bags, I was able to use the extra pieces for tags. The 8x8 papers are the perfect size for creating mini albums as well as altered items and home decor pieces.
Next, I looked into my alterable items drawer and found this little cardboard frame. I love keeping alterable frames around because you never know when someone will need a little gift- and these are quick and easy to make!
I really love the double sided die cuts that come with this collection. These die cuts are exclusive to the Paper Crafting Assortment, so if you want them, you will have to pick up the whole kit. You get a wide variety of die cuts in the assortment to use on your projects.
I also made a chipboard banner with the assortment (see, I said you could do a lot of projects!). My friend asked for a decor piece for the baby's nursery, so I figured a banner with her name would be perfect.
The base of my banner is actually a mini album that I took apart. Maya Road has some really great accordion albums that work really well for banners. The chipboard is very sturdy and holds up nicely when hanging on a wall or door.
Here's a close-up of the banner. I like to add ribbons and frilly accents to my projects, so adding the extra girly touch to all of the "Grace" projects that I created came easily.
You will also find a few sketches in the Paper Crafting Assortment to help you out with card-making.
This is the sketch that I used to create a quick card.
Here's my take on the sketch. The size of the 8x8 papers make it easy to create a 4x6 standard card base. All of the paper in the Paper Crafting Assortment is double-sided, so you can create a card with a plain inside to write a message or add a sentiment.
Another item that can be purchased with the "Grace" collection are our new Petite Folders. These are great to make a few quick cards, a mini album, or you can even add them to your layouts. When paired with the Paper Crafting Assortment, the possibilities are endless!
I created a quick card with the petite folders and some of the die cuts from the paper crafting assortment.
Some of you may have seen this canvas posted on our facebook page yesterday, but I wanted to share it here as well.
Also created with the Paper Crafting Assortment, this beautiful altered canvas is a perfect home decor piece! I created this project for the May Arts Spring Challenge, but wanted to add it in here for all to see. The lovely new May Arts ribbons coordinate so well with the "Grace" collection!
Believe it or not, after all of that.. I still have plenty of product leftover to create even more!
Thanks for stopping by today! I hope I have inspired you to run to your nearest LSS and pick up a "Grace" Paper Crafting Assortment and get creative!
