Lip Balm Holder- The Perfect Craft Fair Item

Every Craft Fair Season I am always looking for something to add to my stash.  Well, this season I saw another crafter create something like this, but wanted to really simplify for mass production.  Note in the photo below I used up some of my retired Stampin’ Up! Designer Paper. This is the perfect project to use up that older Designer Paper that you may be hoarding like I was.

 

For the instruction of this project, I decided I wanted to pull out my Santa Express Bundle and pair it with my favorite Stary Sky 6×6 In Color Paper.  I am a blue girl for sure!!!  This Bundle is so adorable, in fact it will be making another appearance tomorrow (December, 16, 2023) for another top-selling Craft Fair item from this Holiday Season.

 

 

For this Project, you will just need these simple pieces.

PROJECT DIMENSIONS:
  • Cardbase Starry Sky 3/12″ x 5 1/2″
  • Along the 5 1/2″ Side Score at 2 3/8″ and 3 1/8″
  • 3 pieces of 2 1/8″ x 3 1/4″ 6×6 In- Color Designer Paper in Starry Sky.
  • 1 Strip of matching DSP 5 /8″ x 3 1/4″
  • 1″x3″ Strip of Starry Sky Cardstock scored at 3/4″ and 2 1/4″ or 3/4″ on both sides
  • about 16″ of ribbon of your choice.  I used the organdy glitter ribbon on this project TIP You will want to place the ribbon down first under DSP

 

TIP for Lip Balm Holder Portion

I really enjoyed creating these simple projects for Craft Fairs.  I find that typically these sell better than treats.  Now keep in mind that did not hold me from creating some treats.  Each Craft Fair can be completely different from the next.  Be sure to come back tomorrow for my Tea and Biscoff Treat holder.

My Obsession with Gnomes

I have a new obsession with the Kindest Gnomes Bundle.  Growing up as part Norweigan my mom and her sisters had Gnomes EVERYWHERE!!  So, Naturally when Stampin’ Up! came out with their Gnome bundle I was sold!! I created 3 simple cards for you today to show how versatile and fun building these Gnomes are.

 

 

In fact, I love building these Gnomes so much that I offered to help my amazing friend Patty Bennett to create some fun projects for her Customers.  SEE HERE to see what Patty ended up making.  Here is a fun photo I took after creating her Gnomes.  Can you guess how many Gnomes?  Leave me a comment and tell me your guess,

Teaching Hubby How to Stamp

I have a very special blog for you today.  In Today’s Blog, I am teaching hubby how to stamp.  Can I do it?  Well, Please watch the video below to find out.

Here is the Project I will teach hubby how to actually stamp using the adorable Christmas Scottie Dog Bundle from the 2022 Jul-Dec Mini Catalog.

 

PROJECT MEASUREMENTS:
  • Thick Basic White Cardstock 4 1/4″ x 11″ scored at 5 1/2″ or folded in Half
  • Cherry Cobbler Layer 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″
  • Basic White Layer 4″ x 5 1/4″

PROJECT  VIDEO: If you are reading this in an email, feel free to watch the video HERE on my blog.

 

I am not going to lie I was actually highly impressed by how well he did.  He has never ever picked up a stamp and used an ink pad before.  As you see in the video he has bear paws for hands so he is definitely heavy-handed.  You will also see how he uses Liquid Glue for the first time.

I hope this encourages you to get your spouse to stamp with you.  They actually might surprise you.

If you enjoyed today’s post, I hope you subscribe to my blog and Youtube Channel where I come to you live each Thursday at 4pm PST. Until Next Time, Happy Crafting!!!

 

Luv 2 Stamp Blog Hop-Happy Thanksgiving

Welcome to the Luv 2 Stamp Group’s 2022 Blog Hop! We are excited to share projects with you this year, we hope to inspire you to create beautiful new projects. Each month we will have a different theme based on the next month’s celebrations using Stampin’ Up! products.

When you have completed each post, be sure to scroll down to the bottom and you will see the list of Blog Hop Participants. You may either click on their name to go to their post or click the NEXT button.  Happy Crafting and I hope you enjoy this month’s theme: THANKSGIVING

Today’s Project I am sharing with you is a Diagonal Easel Card using the Fond of Autumn Bundle along with the beautiful Rustic Harvest Designer Paper.  I was inspired by this layout by fellow demonstrator Connie Stewart.

I am a huge fun fold fan and I love the way the corner pops up to give it a cute way to display your project.

One thing that I love about The Fond of Autumn Bundle is that when you die cut the floral pieces it cuts them into little individual pieces so you can use as little or as many pieces as you want. The colors that I used to color with are Mossy Meadow, Old Olive, and Granny Apply Green for the leaves.   Calypso Coral and Daffodil Delight For the Flowers, Cajun Craze for the Berries and Neutral Tones Blends in Medium and Medium Light for the Acorns. I finished off by stamping a little acorn on the inside corner for a cute little decorative touch.

 

INSTRUCTIONS:
  • Cardbase 4 1/4″ x 11 scored at 5 1/2″ or folded in half
  • Cut a strip piece off the edge at 1 1/4″ (You will use this piece for the inside of your card to hold pop up easel piece)
  • You will score the top right corner edge at a diagonal down to the original 5 1/2″ score line to create your pop-up easel piece
  • 4 x 4 DSP then cut at an angle from corner to corner to get 2 triangle pieces
  • For inside strip pieces, you will cut 2 pieces at  1″ x 4 1/8″
  • At 1 strip to the 1 1/4″ piece of cardstock you removed earlier and you will pop that piece up with stampin dimensional to create that edge piece.
  • Inside Basic White piece will be 3″ x 4 3/8″
  • Final Tip when adhering the image to front panel be sure not to adhere to top part of the image as this will not allow your card to pop up at the angle it needs to.
