Lip Gloss Holder Tutorial / Chapstick Holder Tutorial

This is a very quick picture tutorial and not very professional looking...   There are many Lip Gloss Holder / Chapstick Holder tutorials out there, but this one is designed to maximize the number of strips you can cut from a 12 x 12 sheet of designer series paper.   You can get 18 strips from one sheet when you cut 2 x 4 strips. 

See the previous post for the supplies I used to make this.





Be sure to test these score marks on some scrap cardstock.  If you lip gloss or Chap stick is thicker, you will need to adjust the second score mark (the 1-3/4")  to a slightly longer measurement so that the bottom will be large enough to accommodate it.  E.G. 1-7/8"



     Attach a piece of stricky strip to hold the lip gloss or Chapstick

This shows the inside with the lip gloss



I cut half a Velcro dot for the closure.



Voila, it's done!

Hope you try it!

Lip Gloss Holder


This Lip Gloss Holder is an inexpensive, easy to make gift when you need just a little something or it would be a great stocking stuffer.  I will post directions tomorrow.

Supplies
Stamp Set:  Mixed Medley (hostess set - 2012 Holiday Catalog)
Card stock: Gumball Green, Real Red, Whisper White, Champagne Glimmer, Red, Glimmer, Snow Festival Designer Series Paper
Ink: Gumball Green
Accessories: Real Red Stitched Grosgrain Ribbon, 1-3/4" scallop circle punch, 1-3/8" circle punch, 1-1/4" circle punch, Scallop Border Punch, Velcro Dot

I do wish I could find some thinner Velcro Dots, so that the cover would lay flatter.

Hope you are enjoying the Holidays!

A Many Layered Birthday Card - Stampin' Up! Layered Labels and Daydream Medallions




This is my swap card for the Monthly Stampin' Divas Swap.  WE are supposed to do WOW swaps and I sure do hope this qualifies!

There are Stampin' Dimensionals between every layer of the focal pieces, so I used almost the entire package of 300 Dimensionals to make 12 cards...  Yes, I do go through a LOT of Dimensionals.  When I go to the Craft & Hobby Association in Chicago I always check out the card samples, and I notice that many of the really professional looking cards use lots of them.

Supplies


Stamp Sets:  Layered Labels, Petite Pairs, Daydream Medallions
Card stock:  Wisteria Wonder, Crumb Cake, Early Espresso, Whisper White. 
Ink: Crumb Cake, Early Espresso,
Accessories: Pearl Basic Jewels; Antique Brads; Seam Binding – Crumb Cake; TIEF – Lacy Brocade, Fan; Framelits – Apothecary Accents, Floral Frames;  Punches – 1-¼” circle, 1-3/8” circle; Stampin’ Dimensionals; Glue Dots

Stamp, stamp, stamp!!

Stampin' Up Scentsational Seasons Stamp Set and matching Framelits

Hi - it's been a while, and Hurricane Sandy is about to do her worst.  If the predictions are right, we will be without power for an extended time.  So I thought I better sneak in a blog post since I am sure internet service will be out even longer.

I made this card for the Stampin' Diva's monthly swap:

 

Not bad for a quick snap with my iPhone 4S, is it?

Here are the deets:

Halloween with Stampin' Up Wicked Cool Stamp Set

I made these cute little lip gloss holders for everyone who came to my Stampin' Up event last month:






They were so easy to make - all it took was a strip of card stock, add a strip of Designer Series Paper, score and fold to make the little purse, the add ribbon and the stamped image.  Very easy, but very cute and impressive.  I forgot to take pictures until I was ready to leave, so I did not get the details like I should have.

Here is my supply & tool list:
Stamp Set:  Wicked Cool
Paper: Tangerine Tango, Basic Back, Whisper White, Designer Series Paper - Howlstooth & Scaringbone (2012 Holiday Catalog)
Ink: Tangerine Tango
Accessories:  Ribbon - Striped Satin (2012 Holiday Catalog) Pearls (painted black with a permanent marker); Stampin' Dimensionals; Punches - Oval Scallop, Large Oval, Scallop Trim Border.

So how is that for a cute little gift that doesn't require many supplies or tools?  I will try to do some Christmas ones and post a tutorial in a week or two.

Apothecary Accents Framelits, Papillon Potpourri & Four Frames Stamp Sets


If you are looking for the Late Night Stampers Fall Treasure Hunt go here or scroll down September 4, 2012 to find it.






And now for a card I made for a "new catalog" swap I participated in June that I never posted.  This features some new products - Pappillon Potpourri Stamp Set and matching Butterfly Punch, Apothecary Accents Framelits, Large Scallop Edgelit, and Summer Smooches Designer Series Paper.

Supply list is at the end.  I came up with my own card fold and closure, but the layout was inspired by a card  I saw on Paper Crafts Connection.  I folded the card and cut the widest edge with the Large Scallop Edgelit.  I cut Whisper White Card Stock with an Apothecary Accents Framelit focal piece and stamped it with the Netting stamp and Daffodil Delight ink.  I sponged a lot of  Daffodil ink on the edges and lightly in the center to give it dimension.  The butterfly from the Papillon Potpourri Stamp Set was stamped it with Rich Razzleberry and then punched with the Butterfly Punch.  I colored the pearls with Bic Mark-It permanent markers because the Stampin' Write Markers don't work for this.  I chose the Mark-Its because that set has so many that are close to Stampin' Up! colors. The Four Frames image was stamped with Rich Razzleberry and punched with the Decorative Label Punch.  The sentiment is from the Perfect Punches stamp set, and was punched with the Large Oval Punch.  The Rich Razzleberry scalloped layer was punched with the Scallop Oval punch, then cut in half the long way and spread apart to form a frame.  Only the right side of this piece is attached to the card.  I used Stampin' Dimensionals so that it is raised above the card, allowing the scallop edge of the card to slide under it to close the card.

Thanks for looking,
Phyllis Strickland
