2022-2023 Graphic45 Brand Ambassador

I’m so honored to be here as a 2022-2023 Brand Ambassador for Graphic 45, It’s a dream come true!

Graphic 45 has without a doubt been my favorite brand, since the first time I saw it.

I have always been creative, but I had never worked with paper before.

Then in 2018 I saw a project with Rare Oddities, and I was sold!

I knew that this was something I had to do, so I started making mini albums, journals and other projects, and I loved every minute.

I live in a small old town in south Denmark, with my husband Emil and our three wonderful children.

My oldest son Kian is three years old, and loves doing fun creative activities.

He is great with scissors, and always wants to help me when I’m crafting.

You never make mistakes when you’re creating, only small changes.

Happy crafting!

Elegance Desk Organizer & Notebook

By Sascha K

Hello crafters!

I’m excited to share with you this really useful desk organizer, decorated with the gorgeous Elegance papers.

I loved working with this collection so much, so I decided to make a Notebook to go in the drawer.

Unfortunately the Elegance collection is no longer available on the Graphic 45 shop, but you can of course use any other collection.

This desk organizer is big enough to fit a 12×12 paper pack in the back, and it has plenty of space for your scissors, tape, glue, ink pads and other tools!

The Notebook fits perfectly in the drawer.

You can use the Notebook to write down ideas for new projects.

Inside the cover there are two large pockets, and each of them holds a folder to keep all of your cards and tags.

It also has some cute paper clips to hold everything in place.
