This months Graphic 45 Challenge is a party theme and I wanted to use the new collection Gilded Lily. I did a lot of detail cutting out of this paper collection and came up with some great ideas. I made a Banner, 3 Invitations and 3 gift Bags. I will describe below how I made each and the sizes of everything. I must say that I love this paper, (even though I love all Graphic 45 paper), but this Victorian theme is pretty awesome.

Now I will go into detail how I made each starting with the banner.
G45 GILDED LILY: BANNER
I started with the new We Are Memory Keepers Banner Punch Board
The larger banner pieces are 4 1/2″ wide x 6″ tall and the smaller pieces are 2 1/2″ wide and 3 1/2″ tall.
The second layer: The larger banner pieces are 4 x 5 1/2″ and the smaller pieces are 2 1/4 x 3 1/4″.
Next, I layered the second layer on the first layer and used Thin 3D Foam Squares.
Next, I cut pieces out of the collection.
Then attach them using Thin 3D Foam Squares.
I used cream colored ribbon to lace it up. The Banner Punch Board has a hole punch built in.
G45 GILDED LILY: INVITATIONS
Starting with a 9 1/4 x 5 7/8″ piece of cardstock and scoring at 4 5/8″.
I used the Invitation stamp and a border stamp from the collection.
I stamped the border at the top and bottom, and the invitation close to the top.
For the front of the Invitation I used a Spellbinders die: A2 Devine Eleoquence.
The first layer is 4 3/8 x 5 5/8″ as the base. The next two layers are from the die cut. The second layer size is 4 x 5″ and the third layer is 3 x 4 3/4″
Detail cut out of the paper collection.
Layer the pieces.
I used Thin 3D Foam Squares on the third layer and the detailed cut pieces.
G45 GILDED LILY: BAGS
I used the We Are Memory Keepers Bag Punch Board. However, since the board only goes to 3 5/8″ wide I had to do some manipulation to get a bigger bag.
This particular bag is 5 1/2″ wide, 4 3/4″ tall and 2″ depth. I did not put holes in the bags for a ribbon closure, I used Velcro instead.
The first layer I used another Spellbinders die: Lattice Rectangles, the largest one, which is 4 x 5″. Then added a few detail cutting pieces to it.
Again, layering the pieces using Thin 3D Foam Squares.
The tall bag is 3 5/8″ wide and 10 3/4″ tall. The medium blue bag is 5 1/2″ wide and 7″ tall.
I hope you liked my G45 Gilded Lily party theme collection of Banner, Invitations and Bags.
