Candy Cane Christmas Chapstick Holder Tutorial

I have a tutorial for you today in response to the Wicked Chapped Lips Chapstick holder from last week.  Lots of people asked how to make one, so I made a Christmas Chapstick holder tutorial.  It's been a busy week for me, so this is short and sweet.  First, here is the finished chapstick holder:

Here is the basic template. I chose a Christmas theme, but this can be changed to whatever you choose.

The base of the holder is 5 3/4" x 3 1/2".  You score at 2 1/2" and 3 1/4" .

Once you have scored the paper, fold the cardstock so the top layer hangs over the bottom, and then cut two slits in the middle up to the other score line.  I measure in 1 1/2" from each end to get it perfectly centered.  Once you have your cuts made, push the the cut area inside and form a book with a holder for the chapstick as pictured below.

You now have your basic design which you can decorate.  Here are your measurements for the layers:
- Garden Green CS layer is 3 1/4" x 2 1/4"
- DSP layer is 3" x 2"
- chapstick cover is DSP and measures 2 1/4" x 1 7/8" (this may vary, I used Avon chapstick)

I added the santa from Sparkly and Bright and then punched a hole with my crop-a-dile so I could add satin ribbon to close the holder.  On the inside it has the chapstick (attached to the holder with a glue dot to keep it from slipping) and a message saying "A gift for you" which I used from the Punch Pals stamp set.  I wan't able to get a picture of the inside, my 13 month old woke up too soon!   I'll get a picture of the inside posted tomorrow as I have a couple dozen of these that I am making for the upcoming festival I have in October.

Once I get out of serious assembly line mode for the festival, I will have lots more to share.  I am taking pictures of all the items I will be selling and will post about all of them at some point.  For those of you in the local area (southwest Ohio), the Cider Festival is at the Hidden Valley Fruit Farm on October 2nd and 3rd from 10am -6pm.  If you need further info, you can e-mail me or leave a comment for me and I'll get back to you in further detail.

I hope you liked this quick little tutorial.  If you'd like to make your own chapstick holder and need supplies, you can purchase them on my Stampin' Up! website.

Some Wicked Chapped Lips!

Today's share is one of my favorite little gifts to give... a chapstick holder!  These are soooo cute and super easy to make.  You can make them for so many occasions, but today's is a Wickedly Cool occasion.

I used the Wicked Fun Specialty DSP to decorate the front of the holder as well as the tube of chapstick.  And of course I used Wicked Cool (I LOVE this set!) to decorate the front.  This goes together quickly and would make a fantastic teacher's gift.  

I hope you liked my Wicked Cool chapstick holder.  If you would like to make your own chapstick holder and need supplies, you can visit my Stampin' Up! website to order online.  Thanks so much for stopping by!

Big Shot Halloween Treats

I have a few ideas for Halloween treats today using the Big Shot.  These would be great for party favors or treats for the kids in school.

This first treat is made with the Top Note die cut.  I cut it out of Pumpkin pie card stock then used the Spider Web embossing folder to add texture.  I sponged the web with black ink and added the spider from Batty for You.  To make the pencil holder all you do is fold the top note in half and staple it shut..easy peasy!  I stapled so the smooth top of the staple was on the back and the rough edges were covered by the spider.  A couple of pencils fit quite nicely.

I also made a pencil favor with the Oval Scallop Frame die cut.  Same thing as the top note, cut the die then send through again with the spider web embossing folder.  I cut 2 parallel slits in the center of the oval about 1/2" apart for the pencil to slide through.  The spider was adhered to the slit with sticky strip to make sure it stays in place.  That's it!  Very easy treat!

The last Big Shot treat is using the Pillow Box die cut.  I used the new Concord Grape card stock and stamped bats from Wicked Cool.  I put a couple of spider rings and a tiny flashlight in the box, tied it shut with black gross grain ribbon, and added a punch art bat.  You could easily make a bunch of these, and to make it simpler you don't have to add the punch art...just stamp the card stock and add ribbon!

I hope you liked my Big Shot treats.  I have more to share, so come back and visit.  If you'd like to make your own Big Shot treats and need supplies, you can visit my Stampin' Up! website to place an order online.

Halloween Tea Lights

My share today is a set of Halloween Tea Lights.  I saw this idea HERE on Tinkerin In Ink with Tanya.  I loved it and made one for the door prize at my last workshop.

 
This box is really easy to put together.  The candles were super simple as well.  The trick is to put tissue paper between 2 sheets of copy paper and punch out your circles with the 1 1/4" punch.  I stamped the image on and then punched a small hole to allow for the wick.  Just a little bit of heat gun and your image is part of the candle.
I used the new Wicked Fun Specialy DSP for the outer sleeve of the box and Rich Razzleberry card stock for the base.  The top is decorated with the candlestick from Wicked Cool stamped on Rich Razzleberry.  The candles are decorated with the center images from Batty For You.  I just used my markers to color in the area I wanted. 

I hope you liked this fun little project.  It would be a super gift for the holidays, so I'll be posting more as I get into my Christmas projects.   If you need supplies to make your own Halloween Tea Lights, you can order supplies on my Stampin' Up! website anytime.

Come back again, my next post will be some Big Shot party favors, you won't want to miss it!  Have a great day!

A Halloween Treat for Challenge #86 at Late Night Stampers

All week I've been showing you different Halloween projects featuring the owl punch and Wicked Cool.  Today's treat is a little of both!  This Halloween treat is another entry to a great Yahoo Group that I belong to called Late Night Stampers.  Each week there is a challenge, this week's is all about punches.  If you'd like to join this great group, click on the owl in the right column.

This is one of my favorite gift ideas..a CD envelope turned into a package for a cookie!  The envelope is the perfect blank canvas for any holiday or occasion...the possibilities are endless!  This is my Halloween version using Wicked Cool and the oval punch for the pumpkin.  I have some Christmas ones that will be coming up in the near future.

A Witchy Owl

More Halloween treats to share!  I am loving the new owl punch, so my share today is a set of 3x3 cards in a box with a witchy owl.  The box is made from two scallop envelope die cuts.  I made two 3x3 cards to put in the box using the new Wicked Fun Specialty DSP and Batty for You.

I love making 3x3 cards, not only are they cute as can be, but they go together quickly.  It's also a great way to use up smaller scraps of the precious DSP.  I don't waste any of my paper so scraps usually go to punches and other smaller items.  I sent my direct upline Patty Bennett one of these with the bookmarks from yesterday's post, I hope she likes everything!  I made a couple other sets, using the bat and ghost punch art.

I hope you liked today's treats.  I have a great one for tomorrow.  Something to hold a real treat....cookies!

Hope you're having a great day!  Please stop back for a visit.  If you'd like to make your own set of 3x3 cards and need supplies, just visit my Stampin' Up! website to order online.

Fun Punch Art Bookmarks

I've got two fun paperclip bookmarks to share today.  The owl punch (#118074) is just so versatile!

It is super easy to make a bat and a ghost from the owl punch. I saw the cute bat on Paper Punch Addiction,  Kim has really fantastic ideas!  The ghost is the simplest ..just flip the owl over and trim off the feet.  Bookmarks are a great gift for anyone..teachers, friends, family, etc.  I am sending these two bookmarks to my fabulous upline Patty Bennett, she has been so good to me and deserves a big Thank You!  I have another Halloween treat that I'm sending her that I'll show you tomorrow.

If you'd like to make your own punch art bookmarks, you can visit my Stampin' Up! Website and order online!  Don't forget to stop back to see more Halloween treats!
