Chipboard Post-It-Note Holder

Hi All

It's Wendy back today and to share a functional little project using sheets of chipboard.  Some of you know that I love my score-pal and use it for everything (I actually have 2 x scor-pals, 2  x scor- buddies and another brand so let me see ....... yep 5 scoring tools).  I am always checking out the tutorials on-line around gift boxes and I came across the instructions for making a post-it-note holder which uses sheets of chipboard.  Perfect!  I paired this with one of my favourite Graphic 45 papers "Bird Song" and it all came together - not quickly but I got there in the end!

So first up the post it note holder - by using the chipboard it makes it super sturdy and looks great covered with the paper.

The link is here if you would like to tutorial to make this little holder.  Post It Note Tutorial

To compliment the note holder I have done a card using the same paper and used Adirondak Paint in Butterscotch to cover the chipboard.

I hope you enjoyed this months projects - don't forget our monthly challenge which is "Orange" email a picture of your project using Imaginarium Chipboard to Jane sales@imaginariumdesigns.net.au to go into the draw to win a chipboard pack.

Keep Creating!
Wendy

Tropical Cards!

Hi Everyone!

Wendy here sharing with you some tropical cards using the very beachy Graphic 45 "Tropical Travelogue" paper range, one of my favourites!

Given the days are getting a little more balmy I was inspired to get out this paper range and create some cards and a little gift box!  These cards have a really warm feeling about them and I really loved making them.

As far as the chipboard goes I used some pieces which were already sprayed black then others I inked and the birdcage and green flourishes were simply embossed.  

Yes people I must really be out to impress as I did fussy cut all those leaves and the little vines!!!!

The great thing about gift boxes are you can go over the top with decorations or really simple BUT I always make sure that there is somewhere to write a little message to the recipient.

Hope you are feeling inspired to get some paper and chipboard out and start creating.

Thanks for stopping by!

Imaginarium Designs & Graphic 45 a perfect match?? + Birthday Giveaway at my blog!!!

Good morning everyone, 

It's Amy here to share a couple of projects!

Today I turn 37 yes it's my birthday.....ughhh 37 that's so old but hey I still feel young.

My husband is also born on the same date so we have a double birthday ;-)

As most of you Imaginarium Design lovers know I really love Graphic 45 papers so today I have a overload of Graphic 45 projects to share.

"A dream is a wish your heart makes"

For this layout I used a picture of myself with my dream of making it on the Graphic design team! Hope that this dream will come true this year. 

It would be the third time trying to make the team. 

For this layout I used two collections "Botanical Tea"& "Come away with me" also with a bunch of gorgeous chippies. 

Let's have a closer look:

"Love, Cherish, Adore"

For my second layout I used a newer collection by Graphic 45 named "Artisan Style"!

I really love the bold and bright colors in this collection for this layout I have chosen the orange and black colors with a picture of my granddad's sister when she got married many many years ago. 

Let's have a closer look:

Sarah Shares her April Projects

Hello Imaginarium Designs Fans - Sarah here today to share two new projects with you: an Altered Clipboard and a Mixed Media Layout!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Altered  "Typography"
Mini Clipboard

First up is a mini-clipboard I altered using Graphic 45's Typography collection, embellished with some Imaginarium Designs Tags and some of Loolabelle's Chevrons.

I used two different sizes of Loolabelle's Chevrons #2 and simply painted them with Distress Crackle Paint in Aged Mahogany. I mod-podged sections of the Typography paper onto the tags, inked the edges with Distress Ink in Black Soot and then tied the tags together with some black twine. I finished off the embellishing with some fussy-cut bits from the Typography paper, some Tim Holtz Idea-ology metal embellishments (pen nibs and mini-paperclips) and a cool metal typewriter embellishment I picked up at a local craft store. Here are some close-ups!

Mixed Media Layout

My second project is a mixed media layout featuring a sweet photo of my son! I had lots of fun creating this one - hope you like it!

For the Imaginarium Chipboards on this layout, I have used the following:

• Hot Air Balloons - painted with Lumiere Light Body Metallic Acrylic in Halo Blue Gold
• Spade Top Picket Fence - painted with white gesso and then Distress Crackle Paint in Rock Candy and then spritzed with Lindy's Stamp Gang Moonshadow Mist in Tawny Turquoise
• Butterfly Border - cut into individual pieces - painted with Viva Decor Maya Gold paint in Turquoise and then rubbed with Inka Gold Rubs in Cobalt Blue and Hematite. Next, I stamped the butterflies with a Prima Stamp and Black Ink and finally added some Ranger Stickles in Patina. 

Here are some close-ups!
