Have I told you how much I love creating with Graphic 45 collections? With their beautiful and vibrant colors and clever patterns, these collections will have you making stunning crafts. And if you like to make crafting easier, or like me, you want to learn a new crafting technique, then you need to check out the Club Kits. They’ll give you the best Graphic 45 project ideas.

Lost in Paradise Travel Planner

We are going to start today with the Lost in Paradise Travel Album w/ Notebook Club Kit. These kits come with almost everything you need to create these projects, and they also include easy-to-follow, detailed instructions. For my project, I wanted a different cover then they directed, so I just switched the cards. Note that if you do make a switch, you will likely be using an element from another page and you will have to swap that one as well.

This year, Sizzix changed how they release their releases. Now, there will just be four releases throughout the year (so they are bigger). This Chapter 1 2019 Sizzix release has some great new dies from your favorite designers, such as Tim Holtz, Jen Long, Katelyn Lizardi, and Stephanie Barnard. But we also have some fun new designers that you likely have never heard of, for example, Olivia Rose, Georgie Evans, Carrotcake, and more. Regardless of what catches your fancy, don’t forget to check out all these new designers.

I’m not much of a seamstress, but even I could easily stitch this.
