Graphic 45 - Level UP Mon Amour Quad Folio

 “Hello G45ers and welcome back to the Graphic 45 Blog today as I share a Level Up Project with you. I chose the Mon Amour Quad Folio Album Kit 22 V12.

This is also my final project share with Graphic 45 for 2024. I have decided not to return for a second term.

 I did not anticipate the album going on sale when I chose the project for my final project as Brand Ambassador for Graphic 45. 


You can find the original video tutorial here 


Quad-Folio Album Tutorial - Mon Amour - Album Kit Vol 12 - 2022


To level the project up I began by building the base of the folio, changing out a few papers for the front and back of the Quad Folio. I also added a wrap around tie for the closure. I followed the instructions up to step #4 ( changing a few papers around) 



You know how much I love a detailed cover, so I added a chipboard clock and made a shaker for the cover and added the Precious Pink florals on the cover as well. 



On the inside is where the Level Up happens. I love adding waterfalls and pockets to my albums, so I did just that on this folio. 



On the inside front cover and inside the right cover, I created a Photo waterfall to add lots of photos. Tucking in some added journal cards which can be used as photo mats later on. 



And on the two center panels, I created a pocket to make it easy to add more photo mat pull outs. The front of each middle panel there is a belly hand to tuck in more photo mats or journal cards. 



Be sure to check out my video on the changes I created to Level up the Folio. You can find that here:

I want to thank Graphic 45 for allowing me to share projects this past year. I hope I have inspired your creativity!

Taking a bit of a break



June 6th, 2024 I received a devastating phone call that has affected my current design schedule for the brands I represent, my older sister passed away. She was 64

I have made a decision and given notice to my team leaders I currently represent.

So for now you will not see many crafty projects on my social platforms if you chose to unfriend or unfollow me, that’s fine. Life is too short to worry about things so inconsequential!
I am just taking a little break so that my family and I can mourn the loss of a beloved sister.

thank you for your patience and understanding

~Karan

49 and Market - Academia Folio

 Hello Creative Friends and welcome to my blog.  

Today, I am sharing a brand new project designed for 49 and Market using the newest Collection Academia designed by a brand new designer "Dennis Bruton"


I have to say when i first saw this collection, i was totally smitten! The colors were right up my alley, never mind a complete collection dedicated to all things school related. I really wanted to showcase the collection by designing a hand made folio that will hold photos from grade one all the way up to grade 12 ( and then some) This folio will hold a lot more than that, field trips, school dances anything you want to put in this folio it will hold. 


The hand made folio measures 9 x 9, has a 2 inch spine which I created using kraft-tex. This is a washable heavy duty fabric that you can even sew with, but with this heavy duty folio i thought this folio would take a beating.  

The front cover is adorned with laser cuts and ephemera and two pull out photo mats. 


Each page is carefully designed using the journal page ( You Did It) with all the 
3 x 4 grade number journal cards. I have used these to showcase school photos from each year. 


Page flips, tucked side pockets that open; it was truly a hand crafted work of love. This took me hours to put together 



Instead of trying to fit all the beautiful pages in this blog post, i decided to create a walk through video so you can see the folio and all its interactive pages. the photo mat pull outs and tucks and there is so much more. I truly hope you love this project as much as I have enjoyed putting it together. 

Feel free to insert video link here
