We are thrilled to introduce Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador, Gina Long from the USA! Gina, also known as c90designs, has been captivating us with her creative paper art for over two decades. As a mother to three daughters and a grandmother to four, Gina’s love for crafting began in 1998 and has since evolved into a passion for albums, junk journals, upcycled projects, and mixed media. Returning for her second year on the design team, Gina’s dedication and artistry continue to inspire us all.

For her debut project, Gina has ingeniously repurposed an old book into a charming bookshelf for tiny steampunk-themed books using the Steampunk Spells – Deluxe Collector’s Edition. This two-in-one project beautifully showcases her talent and creativity. Check out her video Tutorial and #G45Reel to see the magic unfold and learn how to create your own!

Gina Long – USA

2024-2025 Graphic 45 Brand Ambassador

“Hello Everyone,

It has been a dream come true to be chosen to work with a brand that I love so much, and I am so grateful for this opportunity and to the Graphic 45 family.

Some of you already know me and know this is my second year on the design team. My name is Gina Long, and my designer name is c90designs. I live in the center of the United States. I’m a mother to three beautiful daughters and have four wonderful grandchildren.

I found my love with paper art around 1998, beginning as a scrapbooker. Creating and working with paper has become a way to relax and is one of my happy places. My paper art has evolved into Albums, Junk Journals, upcycled projects, and mixed media.

I look forward to sharing my art and assignments each month with you!

“Hello everyone!

I’m so happy to be back on the blog this month, and I am honored to share another year representing a company that inspires and challenges me with its beautiful collections.

My first assignment is #G45Style

For this project, I decided to use Steampunk Spells 12″ by 12″ Collection along with the chipboard and sticker sheets. I paired that with an old book that I hollowed out to create a bookshelf and tiny books to fit on the shelves. I plan to decorate a book on my bookshelf with each paper collection I use on my assignments this year.
