Handmade Merry Banner by Valerie Ward
For my project featuring Graphic 45’s gorgeous Christmas Magic Collection, I created a banner for my fireplace!

I used a banner punch board to create all the varying banner sizes that I needed. To adhere all the different layers of paper together, I used my E-Z Runner® Grand Refillable Dispenser with the E-Z Runner® Grand Permanent Strips Refill cartridge.
The letters were cut from craft dies, glued together with the Dual Tip Glue Pen, and attached with E-Z Runner® Grand Ultra Strong Refill adhesive to paper rosettes which were assembled with Premium Double-Sided Tape 1/8 in., then attached to die cut circles using the same Ultra Strong Refill adhesive (which are then attached to the die cut scalloped circle shapes).

All of the floral bling is adhered to the banner pieces using Adhesive Dots Small and Adhesive Dots Large. My final step was to punch circles in the upper corners of each banner piece with a circle punch, and string tinsel ribbon through them.

Handmade Holiday Card Box by Shannon Morgan
Are you like me and never quite know what to do with your Christmas cards? I always end up taping them to a wall. I wanted to do something different this year and Graphic 45 provided me with the perfect solution! They have book boxes that are just ideal for storage and display.

I used some coordinating 12 Days of Christmas papers along with my Scrapbook Adhesives by 3L® adhesives to create this adorable card box just in time for the upcoming holiday season!

You’ll find some simple embellishments tucked here and there. I used 3D Foam Squares to make the embellishments pop as shown in the pictures. If you are searching for a solution, this inspires you to create your own card box! Have a great holiday season!

Your banner is amazing. I love the Graphic 45 papers you used. They are my favorite paper company, by far. I would love to make a banner like that.

Your Banner is beautiful and that would be lovely to make but I can’t resist the box so that will be my number 1. Graphic 45 is a favorite paper. Thank you for the projects and chance to win your prize.
