Graphic 45’s claim to fame: They are a well-established paper crafts manufacturer with a clearly recognizable, colorful and nostalgic aesthetic.
Nobody could accuse this company’s offerings of being plain, boring or minimalistic; their vibe = “more is more.” So if you’re looking to move beyond plain white cardstock for your paper crafting adventures, Graphic 45’s paper collections and related supplies are worth taking a look at.
Graphic 45 offers paper collections and other craft supplies in a broad range of interesting themes. Their past offerings have ranged from Alice in Wonderland to floral / botanical to Christmas and holiday. You really never know what to expect from them next.
In a world where there is a lot of sameness and mediocrity, I personally think that it’s a refreshing treat to discover each of Graphic 45’s latest offerings. If you’re looking for paper craft supplies that are a little offbeat and unexpected, this is a brand you’ll definitely want to check out.
Graphic 45 is one of my all-time favorite manufacturers of paper craft supplies. They produce papers, stickers, packaged die cuts, embellishments, washi tapes, ink pads, reinkers, stamps, dies, stencils and other paper craft supplies. I have made some of my best planner layouts, scrapbooking layouts and handmade greeting cards using Graphic 45’s craft supplies.
To the best of my present knowledge, Graphic 45 is manufacturing some, but perhaps not all, of their products in the United States. I try to buy and promote products made in the USA to the greatest extent possible, so to me, it is a huge selling point that they’re doing at least some of their manufacturing in the United States; I often seek out G45’s papers over competitors’ products because of this.
Often, you will find that craft supplies made in the USA are more expensive than craft supplies made oversees. This can sometimes be the case with G45’s products; they are pricey compared to some of their Chinese-made counterparts, but I personally find them to be well worth the costs because their designs are unique, their quality is amazing, and they have their fingers right on the pulse when it comes to the types of supplies I personally want to be creating with.
Read on to check out some of your options for Graphic 45’s Supplies — and also for project ideas you can make using Graphic 45’s papers, dies, stamps, stencils and other supplies.
Graphic 45 Papers
Every time I’ve purchased one of Graphic 45’s paper collections, I’ve found it to be intriguing and perfectly coordinated.
This manufacturer produces paper collections in a variety of themes, with some consistent motifs emerging repeatedly:
vintage-inspired designs and graphics,
appealing florals,
botanical motifs,
calendar-themed collections,
and holiday collections released in time for Halloween and Christmas.
In the past, they’ve also released paper craft collections in varying other themes including wedding, fairy tales, fashion and others. They don’t shy away from incorporating images of people into their collections.
Graphic 45 Dies
I do not currently own any of Graphic 45’s die sets, but I think their dies look appealing and useful. I wouldn’t hesitate to buy them; in fact, I have bunches of them on my wish list.
Graphic 45 Stamps and Ink Pads
I currently own one of Graphic 45’s clear stamp sets; it’s a calendar-themed set with stamps for reproducing the months of the year, numbers, and Because I frequently make my own planner layouts, this is one of my most-used stamp sets. These stamps work beautifully, and the script is just gorgeous; the set works beautifully for making a broad range of projects including mini albums, scrapbooking layouts and planner layouts.
I do not currently own any of Graphic 45’s ink pads because in the past, I decided not to buy ink pads unless reinkers were available. I made that decision when I lived at a high altitude of about 10,000 feet, because the air up there was extremely dry, and my ink pads were drying out faster than I could use them. Since then, I have moved to a more humid location, so this isn’t such a huge problem for me any longer. However, for environmental reasons, I still prefer to choose ink pads with reinkers. To the best of my present knowledge, Graphic 45 doesn’t make reinkers available, so I haven’t made it a high priority to try their ink pads.
Graphic Washi Tape
Silver & Ivory Glitter Washi Tape by Graphic 45
Graphic 45 makes some glittery washi tapes that are insanely gorgeous! These are hands down my all-time favorite, most-used washi tapes. I have really cut back on my washi tape buying and usage otherwise, but I had to make an exception for G45’s glitter washi tapes; I use them very frequently and don’t ever want to be without them.
Pictured above is an older bundle of silver and ivory glitter washi tape that has apparently now been discontinued, but there are some newer, similar options available that look even better. This is my opinion because I prefer thinner / finer washi tape over thicker / wider washi tape; the ivory glitter is now available in the thinner width, which I would have preferred, but it wasn’t available at the time I last stocked up on washi tape. So I will be using up all the older rolls of this that I purchased before I buy more. But it won’t be long before I get there, and I will be really excited to have the thinner width of this washi tape!
