Card Trio by Vicki Chrisman
Hi everyone! It’s Vicki, what a fun week with Graphic 45. I’m sharing a card trio I created with the beautiful “Bird Song” collection from Graphic 25 and Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® adhesives.
I created more dimension by using Crafty Foam Tape to lift my images of the paper.
I use Adhesive Dots Medium and Small to adhere my embellishments.
I had so much fun creating with these gorgeous papers!

Christmas Card Holder by Kristen Cohen
Today I am sharing with you a Christmas Card holder – perfect to give as a gift or make one to keep for yourself (like I did). There are lots of examples of Christmas Card holders on the web, but today I am showing you my spin on them – using Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® and Graphic 45 papers.
First, I assembled my supplies: Patterned papers, die cuts, stamped embellishments, chipboard and of course my favorite adhesives from Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L®!
I applied Adhesive Sheets to the backs of the patterned paper. I love Adhesive Sheets when I adhere paper to chipboard – perfect adhesion and NO wrinkles!
I used the MyStik® Permanent Strips Dispenser to adhere a few of the die cuts and accents.
The last step was to add dimension by using several sizes of 3D Foam Squares.

I just adore Vicki’s work. I’ve been following her for a long time now. These cards are so elegant and refined. I am very interested in “Dodz.” Haven’t seen them before.
I love the idea of a Christmas card album. It would make it so much easier to keep track of the list in years to come. Great design and very pretty!
