Lip Balm Fun Fold purse-Weekly Wed. #38

Well it is time again for our Weekly Wednesday create it together video and today I am sharing a fun fold mini purse to hold a single lip balm. This is a super easy project and it is the perfect stocking stuffer. It also works well as a gift for your co-workers, even the men. Everyone needs a little lip balm, right? I am selling these today at a lunchtime craft fair, so wish me luck.

If the video does not load, just click here or the image below.

Project Supplies

  • 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper (DSP)-score at 1-1/4 and 4-3/4″ rotate 1/4 turn, score 2 1/2 & 3-1/2″
  • 2 x 4 strip of coordinating DSP or cardstock-score 1-1/2″
  • Scoring Tool
  • Scraps of coordinating cardstock or DSP-closure and magnet coverings
  • Mini magnets
  • Tag Topper Punch
  • Embossing Folder (optional)
  • 1″ circle punch or punch of choice to embellish
  • Stampin’ Cut n Emboss Machine-if embossing
  • Bone Folder
  • Paper Snips

See video for instructions on this fun fold project. I am hoping my craft fair customers love buying these as much as I enjoyed making them. I think if I were to create them again, I would choose another form of closure. While the magnets worked, they might not hold up over time.

Happy Stamping!

Until next time, be blessed, Renae

Fun Fold Nail File Holder~Weekly Wed. #37

Happy Wednesday all. Today I am excited to share with you a fun fold using one piece of 6 x 6 Designer Series Paper and three scores. We are creating a nail file holder that is perfect for a stocking stuffer or a small gift for co-workers. I am planning to sell them at a craft fair this month, so I will be making a few more. They are super fast and easy. Check out the video below.

https://youtu.be/mZ6NmExkgQE

If you cannot view the video, click here or the photo below. You can also visit my YouTube Channel for all my Make It Monday and Weekly Wednesday videos.

Project Supplies

  • 3 x 6 piece of designer series paper
  • Bone Folder
  • Liquid Glue or Tear and Tape
  • Greetings of the Season Stamp Set
  • Dies from Unbounded Love
  • Scrap of Basic White and Cherry Cobbler for tag
  • Gold pearl bling
  • Cherry Cobbler Ink

This project is super simple, just score at 7/8″ on each side of 3 x 6 DSP, and at 1/4 on the bottom. If you have directional paper be sure it is facing the correct way before making your bottom score. See video for details on angle top folds.

I love that you can get two holders out of one sheet of 6 x 6 DSP. Have fun dressing up these folders with some fun Christmas tags and bling. Let me know if the comments if this is a project you will be making. Happy Stamping!

Halloween Ghost Treat Box ~ Weekly Wed. #34

Happy Wednesday all. Halloween is only 15 days away and it’s time to start thinking about those special Halloween treats. Every year I try to create something special for my little neighbor friends. I don’t send many Halloween cards, but it is fun to create a special treat box each year. My video features a Halloween Ghost Box, but stay tuned to the end of this post for a fun witch box. I am still having issues with YouTube. If the video does not display click the image below for video. CLICK HERE for my YouTube Channel.

Here are the supplies I used for today’s project.

  • Basic Black CS-(Box) 5 ½ x 7
  • Halloween DSP- 1 ¾ x 7
  • Basic White -(tag) ¾ x 3
  • Spooky Treats Stamp Set-Paper Pumpkin September 2022
  • Memento Black Ink

So I decided to make my second box a little more girly. I used the exact same method for creating the box, but switched out the stamp set. I used the witches feet from Bewitching (retired set) and the witches hat punch (also retired). I think both boxes turned out so stinkin’ cute. So use whatever Halloween stamp set you have or click here to shop for our current Halloween collection.

I hope you have fun creating those special Halloween Treat Boxes. Happy Stamping!
