Christmas in July in Graphic 45 Style! New Collection

A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of receiving a special shipment from Graphic 45--a box filled with beautiful papers from two of their not yet released Summer 2017 collection.  It is so exciting to receive such a box.  As a Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador I was asked to create a project from those two collections for the summer trade show.  This is one of them.  I made a Country Christmas Shaker card with this years Graphic 45 Christmas collection--"Winter Wonderland."  Seriously, it is the most beautiful Christmas collection yet.  I'm in love with it and can see many projects coming from these papers.

I did lots of layers for this card and used one of the beautiful images from the collection for the background of my "snowy" shaker element. The large poinsettia flowers are fussy cut from the collection with gold seed beads added and Glossy Accents on the petals.

The large snowflakes are glittery chipboard die cuts that I had in my stash.  The bird is fussy cut from the collection too.

There is so much more to this Winter Wonderland collection that you just must go check out the Graphic 45 blog post today.  Fellow Brand Ambassador Katelyn has a Season's Greeting Envelope that she created plus you can enter for a chance to win one of these new collections before they are available in stores. (They should be arriving late August).

I can't wait to have more time to play with this collection!  I'm thinking a mini Christmas album may have to be on my work table soon!

Happy Crafting!
