Graphic 45 Twellve Days of Christmas Book Box, Cards and Tags



Sponsored: As a designer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L, I receive product to use for projects.

This week Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®  and Graphic 45® have paired up to share some holiday inspiration.  There will be projects featured every day on Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L Blog.  My project is Twelve Days of Christmas Book Box with Cards and Tags.  It's made with products from both companies.



All the papers are from Graphic 45® The Twelve Days of Christmas – Deluxe Collectors Edition  of paper, stickers, and chipboard shapes. The box is also from Graphic 45. It's shaped as a book.  It comes with 3 large tags and book ring.  I decorated it with various papers and a chipboard piece on the front.

The box front features a chipboard shape with circle insert.  I traced the outer edge on ivory cardstock and cut out for a mat.  


The center is popped up with  3D Foam Circles Black Mix.  These work so well on a round shape!


The box is covered with layers of contrast papers all fastened with a combination of 

I made the tags into gift card holders with papers, stickers and chipboard pieces from the collection. 


The gift card pocket is made from paper cut 3 x 8.5 inches.  One end is folded 2" in and other 2 3/4". The longer end forms the top flap.  The shorter end is fastened at edges with Home and Hobby Premium Double-Sided Tape ⅛ʺ Permanent  to form a pocket.  Each tag features different papers from The Twelve Days of Christmas – Deluxe Collectors Edition from Graphic 45®.




On this tag, the papers behind the pocket have rounded corners.  I  a sticker and contrast borders to the flap. It also has rounded corners. Two chipboard circles are fastened over seam binding with Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin.  I've fastened all the papers and the pocket to the tag using  E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser


This is the inside showing the pocket.


This tag has a border made of Creative Photo Corners Gold along with contrast papers and a sticker.  The chipboard button at top has seam binding bow.  That's fastened with Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin.  


The inside of this tag showing a gift card in the pocket.  You can see the photo corner edge which is covered on the inside with a contrast paper. 


This tag also has a border created with Creative Photo Corners Gold.  A tag is tied at top with red twine. 


I added a sticker on the pocket. 


I made some Christmas cards as well to fill the box.  I used images from one sheet of paper and fastened them to 4 x 6" ivory cards. All papers were fastened to card with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser



 Each one has Creative Photo Corners Gold plus various chipboard pieces, stickers, seam binding, and twine.


This card has gold foil accents on the chipboard piece.  I applied dots of adhesive with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser around the chipboard edges.  Then gold foil from 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit was placed over adhesive and rubbed to transfer it.  Just that small touch of gold highlights the chipboard piece and adds a touch of elegance.  The chipboard piece is popped up with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix


I simply added a twine bow over the printed bow on the this card held in place with Adhesive Dots Micro.  These are the perfect size for a tiny bow! 


This card has the same technique with E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and gold foil. It's applied around the chipboard tag and also along the card edges.  That touch of gold really dresses it up! The chipboard tag with seam binding bow is fastened with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.  


This card features a chipboard tag with twine bow fastened in place with Thin 3D Foam Squares Black Mix.  I added a seam binding bow and chipboard circle fastened with Adhesive Dots Ultra Thin.



  All fit into the box!  I tucked in some envelopes, which fit the tags as well, and it makes a nice gift!  Or a perfect storage for cards waiting to be sent to family and friends!

Thanks for visiting!
Happy creating!
