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

E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser and E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser. I like to use E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser on corners and E-Z Dots® Permanent Refillable Dispenser along edges.

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!

Butterfly Notepads and Cards - Paper House

Sponsored: As a designer on the Amazing Paper Grace Creative Team, I am provided with dies to create projects. I'm also a designer for Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and receive product from them.

Hello Everyone!

Today, Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L and Paper House Productions are hosting a Blog Hop! Check it out on Scrapbook Adhesives Blog!

For the blog hop, I put together some quick cards and little notepads with beautiful papers from Color Washed 12ʺ Double Sided Foil Scrapbook Paper. I also used pretty butterflies from Butterflies Faux Enamel Sticker and stickers from Color Washed Cardstock Multi Pack.

Covering little notepads like these is one my favorite quick projects! It's so easy to make them! I keep a few on hand for a quick gift.
I found the notepads in a craft store. They are Kraft color with a magnetic closure and made to decorate (or not!). I cut a strip of Adhesive Sheets 6 x 12 inch 3.25 inches wide and applied to back of piece of Color Washed 12ʺ Double Sided Foil Scrapbook Paper. I like to used a little wider Adhesive Sheet than I need and trim it. That way the adhesive is for sure to all the edges. For the orange one, the pattern paper had 3 x 4 inch sections in a strip that perfectly fit my little notepad! Paper with Adhesive Sheet backing was cut to 3 x 12 inches.

Before putting paper on the notepad, I used E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser to apply adhesive to end (one hidden by flap) and near folds at bottom. Ultra adhesive is very sticky and has a strong hold. I used it at these points where paper would get most stress.

The fun part! Remove backing from adhesive and apply paper to the notepad. I started at the straight edge and worked around the notepad. For the first two folds, I measured the notepad and made score lines on the paper, that makes paper fold easier. I applied more adhesive with E-Z Runner® Ultra Refillable Dispenser at top folds and along flap edges. These I folded as I applied paper. The paper was a little longer than notepad. I simply cut along the notebook flap edge to finish it.

The final touch was to add a pretty butterfly from Butterflies Faux Enamel Sticker by Paper House Productions. These are so pretty with gold foil! I especially like them for the notepads because they are quite thin and aren't likely rub off.

I made a coordinating card with similar papers and a verse cut from one of the papers. I've used Creative Photo Corners Gold on the corners. I've added butterflies from Butterflies Faux Enamel Sticker , one orange and two tiny gold ones. The card is assembled using E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser .

I repeated the same process for the purple notepad. That paper shades from dark purple to lighter purple. It's so pretty on the notepad with the lighter flap! A pretty purple butterfly on that one!

On the purple card, I used sticker from Color Washed Cardstock Multi Pack. These are cardstock thickness. Very pretty with gold foil! To make the gold foil frame around "Hello" piece, I cut white cardstock for the size mat I wanted, about 1/8 inch bigger. I applied Home and Hobby Premium Double-Sided Tape ¼ʺ Permanent to 3 edges. I placed gold foil sheet from 3D Foam Holiday Embellishment Kit over the adhesive and rubbed it well. Remove the foil sheet to reveal pretty foil edges! The card is assembled with E-Z Runner® Permanent Strips Refillable Dispenser. I added pretty purple and tiny gold butterflies.

I hope you enjoyed your visit! Thanks for stopping!
