Glorious gift ideas with Graphic 45


Graphic 45 Altered Box

Graphic 45 are sharing gift ideas with G45 ers over on their blog today.  Hop over to see more of my french inspired gift box and Sharon Ngoo's Place in Time pocket diary and awsome photo tutorial.

My gift box was inspired by the Toile and striped blue and cream papers in the new French Country collection by G45, the gorgeous packaging of french soaps and gifts and a little extra inspiration from the oppulance of the Hall of Mirrors at the palace of Versaille this gift.

    Having seen your box, totally makes sense that you do!! It is beautiful, truly. I only comment if I adore a project. I am also in awe as I could never achieve your level of talent. Brilliant! Off to share & sign up to your blog. Caroline :))

  10. Hi Clare,
    I too have just been onto the Graphic 45 blog, and having spotted your project sat and watched your video in absolute awe! I have to say your box was/is simply amazing. The French Country collection looks absolutely stunning and I can't wait to get my hands on it.

  13. Hi Clare,
    Once again you've made such an "STUNNING" creation. I too love the beautiful Black, Blue and Cream combination. Everything you create is breathtakingly beautiful, you inspire me so much with how you put it all together, you are so very talented and your attention to detail is outstanding. You are my favourite designer. Could you please tell me the particular blue color ink & the brand name that you've used to do the stamping on the lid? It's such a gorgeous color and its perfect for bringing out the blue in the Graphic 45 paper. Thank you so much for sharing your beautiful creations and inspiring so many of us. Hugs Kay:) :)

    1. Hi Kay, thanks so much for stopping by and mailing your lovely message too. The ink I used was Stormy Sky Distress ink for the blue stamping. Great to hear I've inspired you too :-). Have fun if your going to make a similar project. Bw C
