Hello dear crafters.
I hope everyone is having a good time, had
the chance to visit and get hold of new beautiful goodies at Paper Lane and most of
all crafting the day away. I’m really excited to share with everyone today a
garden of inspirations.
The Secret Garden from
Graphic 45 is really beautiful and fun. There are lots of projects
for this paper line that you can come up with as I did.
First

Secret Garden Spinner
Album
To spin your creativity and keep those
ideas flowing…
This is a larger and taller spinner album version . There are 12 pages in the spinner with a
page size of 5 ¾ x 8 inches. So, lot of different photo sizes can be placed on it up
to 6x4inches and perhaps some notes too. The papers are already beautiful and blends so well with each other. Here are some of the pages...
There are also lots of designs that can be cut out that I had also used it to
embellish the pages. Well, except for the pearls and trims {can’t help myself
with that}. Additionally, I have also used the stickers from this collection.
This spinner album makes a perfect
centerpiece in your home, a keepsake or a gift. Or it can also be great for a
school projects, etc…hmmm a lot of spinning ideas to come up with!!

Tags
Well, I have cut outs left after making
the spinner album so I decided to make a couple of tags.
I ran two Inkssential craft tag size#8 with different embossing folders. Applied Ranger
Shabby Shutter and Ranger Dusty Concord distress inks on the violet tag while on the pink tag I applied Prima old rose and pastel green chalk inks. The flowers were made by hand stitching a
lace then topped it up with a flower made using Tim Holtz Alterations Tattered
Florals die. Added all the elements
together and the tags were done.
These tags were dressed up front and back and this is how the backside of the tag looks...

Friends Card
This card was made using one of the new arrivals
at Paper Lane, the Radiant Rectangles Spellbinder Nestabilities die.
Beautiful paper line and spellbinder dies...just imagine all the projects and possibilities you can come up with. Again
the flower was made using the paper from the collection and Tim Holtz Alterations Tattered Florals die.

Layout with a box
Yes, literally a layout with a box. Well,
maybe it looks like a paper frame or shadow box. One thing for sure…the young
lady in the picture is my great inspiration to come up with this unique layout.
This paper folding technique is great for
layering and adding dimensions to a page. I really loved how this page turns
out. The page is 12x12inches and the box in it measures 10x10inches. Cut out
the Secret Garden paper and used it to layer inside the box. Decorated the box frame
with cut out and punch papers, lace and pearls.
I’m so glad to share my ideas and I do hope
that I have inspired you today. Do let Paper Lane know
if you are interested in my projects.
From my garden of inspiration to yours…let
your creativity flows.
Hugs,
Irene
