Hello, G45ers!
Welcome to a wonderful edition of the Graphic 45 blog. Although the Holidays may be behind us we still have more cheer to share. Today, we have a #SimplyG45 Holiday Tag 60-Seconds or Less Video Tutorial by Brand Ambassador Olga Heldwein. Olga uses our ATC Policy Envelopes and Winter Wonderland collection to create all four of these gorgeous and easy to make tags. Although these are Holiday themed tags, it doesn’t mean you can’t take this tutorial to create tags for any occasion, these would be great editions to Valentine’s Day, birthday, and wedding presents.
Envelope Tags
By Olga Heldwein
“So for this one, I had a hard job. I wanted something nice looking but simple at the same time to be able to squeeze the whole project into a super short tutorial. And I come up with these tags. They will nicely fit to any kind of monochromatic or vintage gift wrapping . Making those is easy and they look very festive. They based on envelopes so you can include longer messages to your gift and hide letter with name tag inside the envelope .” ~Olga

Canvas with Mixed Media Background
By Olga Heldwein
"For this work, I use some envelopes and elements from Communique collection. I find them perfect for framing pictures. This is my valentine frame with a really cute picture of us. It's not traditional colors for valentines but we are a non-traditional couple ( we prefer Halloween over Valentines). I really like using those small chipboard pieces from different collections they have really cool designs that can totally improve your project. I made a video tutorial for this one." ~Olga

Animals are always so wonderful!!
Absolutely gorgeous and amazing!
Great ideas , and a wonderful prize this week. I'm loving the Fairy Dust collection.
I love it when the designers use policy envelopes as I am addicted to these things. They are on everything I make lately.I missed out on the club the first month, so this would be a great prize pack to win.
Always fun to get a project to use up leftovers. Thanks!
Amazing what you can make with a little imagination and, of course, some great products. Thank you both.
Love Graphic 45, anything made with their products looks amazing!
Would really love the Fairie Dust collection. Then I could make that awesome January project. Love G45!
Beautiful Christmas Tags! I absolutely love all the Graphic 45 papers!
Graphic 45 is the best. I can't believe the wonderful prize (sold out collection) being given away. The tutorials are also the greatest. So much fun to replicate
G45 products are the best! This prize package is top notch! Thanks for all the inspiring projects you share.
Oooo, me, Ooooo, me! Ha! I love the Fairy Dust collection and it's one of the few I don't have yet. I've seen some wonderful tutorials using this beautiful fun set. I love having the chance to own it! Susan
Great idea for small "gifts" easy to make and yet very gorgeous. Would love to win the initial collection which sold out before I could order! Have always loved Graphic 45 papers and ephemera!
Wonderful tags and beautiful canvas using the policy envelopes.
Always nice to have a chance to win! Love the Fairy Dust collection, perfect for my granddaughter's album.
Beautiful tags and canvas! Thanks for the inspiration!
Both projects are great presentations of G45.
The tags are so pretty. All G45 projects are so unique because your papers are such GREAT quality! Thank you G45 team.
These are soooo pretty.
I jut can’t get enough graphic 45 it’s like lays potatoe chips, you can’t just have one collection
Loved seeing how the tags were put together, but a little too fast a pace for me. I think Winter wonderland can be used throughout the entire winter, and even beyond. Beautiful bird images! Thanks for this prize drawing opportunity!
Great inspiration. Nice images.
Wow! Thanks for the chance to win the Club G45 collection. Since I only recently discovered G45, I really appreciate the inspiration and tutorials.
Darling tags, can always use ideas for the holidays..
Love these tags. Olga does a fabulous job of designing. I love her use of mixed media. Graphic 45 you have amazing products that are awesome to use. My tip; which is certainly not new to anyone but is a must do; fussy cut using sharp scissors and really good light. Do it at times when others would spend time knitting or reading. Its very relaxing, and great to have a stash of goodies ready to use.
Share one of my tips, huh? Sometimes I cannot find just what I want to fit on a project, so I go back to my box of leftovers and find a chipboard piece that is the right size. Then I cut and trim a piece of the collection that I am working with to make it fit the chipboard. Once I glue the new piece on the old chipboard, you can never tell the difference. Waste not, want not, right?
How great are these tutorials - a burst of creative inspiration. So in love with the fairy dust collection - fingers crossed.
The colors in the Fairy Dust papers soothe my soul. They are tranquil, peaceful, calming, and even fragrant to the mind's eye. It would be an honor to create with this contest collection. Thank you. P.S. Lovely work Olga!
Beautiful envelopes and great opportunity to win. Thank you
Anyone would be over the moon to win this prize. What a great gift from Graphic45! Love all the new collections.
Love these tags and even though the holidays are past us now it’s great inspiration for any of the new design sets.
Love the Policy Envelope tags - and how beautiful to slip a gift of cash or gift card into.
I just love these 60 second videos, they are so fun! The tags and the LO look fantastic, great inspiration, thank you Olga!
A brilliant way to use the olicy envelopes! Very inspiring!
Wow! Two beautiful projects!!!
Gorgeous papers and great projects!
Oooh, what a lovely prize xx
Interesting concept and well presented; I'm included with the thanks group! Excited to be given a chance to win the fantastic give away; I'm the person who never wins but really appreciates the prizes.
the best tip I have is to see which other Graphic 45 theme supplies you have on hand that compliments the one with which you've just selected to create. Using additional theme "parts" adds depth and dimension. Graphic 45 "extras" also work extremely well in any Junk journal! Thanks Graphic 45!
Thanks for the opportunity to win the fabulous Club G45 Vol 1!
Sorry I am a day late. Awesome projects. I love making Tags. They really make the gift special.
If i have a photo that im not going to scrap with i will cut out a person and use their face on my tag along with your embellishments it makes for an extra special tag.
I love the policy envelopes and the tag project is great! Plus I can’t wait for the new releases!
What a great prize , the first G45 Club package! How lucky must we be to win it! What a great idea to use the policy envelopes for gift tags.
I love the paper, the tags, the talents shown and the videos.
I love those Policy Envelopes!! I don't know how I've missed them before--but these projects are amazing!
Beautiful!!!
Beautiful work! I love the more "traditional" uses of the fabulous g45 items; as a former mixed media artist, I am in awe of how they were used in your mixed media art. Thank you Olga and g45 for the always inspiring tutorials.
What beautiful projects, thanks for sharing! Your wonderful tutorials are such an inspiration and this line is one of my favorites. Awesome stuff.
