Peach Mango Sanitizer Holder to Make

Earlier this month when I held my Stamp & Chat classes, I always try to give a favor to my customers as a way to show how much I appreciate them and to encourage them try making 3D items. The theme for the classes were a combination of Christmas in July, Peaches and Strawberries, plus we played Bingo for prizes! 

This favor holder is designed for the Bath & Body Works Mini Sanitizers and is my original design.

One sheet of Balmy Blue cardstock will make 4 holders.

Cut Strip - 2-1/8" x 11"

Score at 3", 6", 7-1/2". 8-1/2", and 10" on the long side. Fold the score lines gently, it doesn't need a bone folder.

You're a Peach Designer Series Paper (DSP):

For the back piece - 2" x 2-7/8"

Small front piece - 7/8" x 2"

For Tag on Front

1" circle punch for scraps of Basic White cardstock

1-1/4" circle punch for scraps of Calypso Coral or Petal Pink cardstock

Just for You stamp from Sweet Strawberry Stamp set

Balmy Blue Ink

Retired Layering Ovals Dies

Die Cutting Machine of Choice

This photo shows you the size oval you need.

After the DSP is adhered, you will need to take your paper snips and fussy cut around the back side of the oval, as the sanitizer bottles are just a little wider than the oval die selected. Start with only trimming 1/16" and gently try the bottle in the oval. You want the bottle to be hugged inside the oval, not sit loosely.

Flip holder strip over and add Stampin Seal adhesive so back of holder will be double thickness.

Fold on score line and press well to adhesive.

I was using up some wider double stick tape I had on hand, but two pieces of Stampin' Up!s Tear and Tape would work nicely. Position as shown in photo.

If you want a cleaner edge on your Tear and Tape, use a credit card to tear the tape against.

Peel off Tear and Tape

Notice how the 1" DSP covered section on the front and the 1" section on the end of the cardstock goes nicely against the back section to create a level surface where the sanitizer will go.

Going with my peach theme, the ladies received Peach Mango hand sanitizer.

Punch out the needed circles and stamp the greeting. Adhere layers together and adhere directly to the front of the holder as shown.

These little holders will fit nicely in a Stampin' Up! Clear Envelope with the flap folded down a bit more.

Ta-Da! 10 holders as favors for my customers.

Here's a close up of the design of the DSP sheet I used.

I hope you'll give this Mini Hand Sanitizer Holder a try. It's a perfect little gift for any time of year. It's also a great way to use up little scraps of Designer Series Paper you may have in your collection.

Happy Creating!

Sweet Ice Cream Shaker Card

Last November when Stampin' Up! was having it's virtual OnStage three day extravaganza, one of the techniques that was shared by Rosie's Creative Cottage, was how you can make a shaker card using Stampin' Up!s clear envelope. That blew my mind! 

I have to try that I said to myself. So I designed this card for a product based class I was offering using the Ice Cream Corner Suite recently. Check out this short video of the shaker card in action!

Helpful Tips:

You can see the retired sequins that I used for the "shaking" part, but you could use glitter, or small punched shapes. What I like most about this technique is by raising up the ice cream cones with dimensionals it provides the space needed for the shaking to happen!

You will build the ice cream cones on the Designer Series Paper, then attach to the Bumblebee layer. Then insert into clear envelope.

The clear envelope will need to be sealed and a small amount folded over and secured with scotch tape, then secured to the Cinnamon Cider card base. I recommend using tear and tape to secure it well.

Another cool thing to try is to stamp your greeting directly on the Designer Series Paper using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.  Just make sure your stamp is inked well and apply even pressure for a few seconds before removing stamp.

Here's a cute idea for the inside to try.

Products used and available to purchase in my online store (click the link below):

Top Fold Tent Style Cinnamon Cider card base - 5-1/2" x 8-1/2", scored at 4-1/4"

Bumblebee card stock layer 4" x 5-1/4"

Ice Cream Corner Designer Series Paper 3-3/4" x 5" for layer and extra pieces for cones 

(I recommend cutting a 1-1/4" strip so you won't be wasting paper when you punch the cones.)

Rainbow Glimmer Paper  

(Punch the colors shown being careful not to waste paper.)

Ice Cream Cone Builder Punch

Clear Envelope

Scotch Tape (used for clear envelope and for attaching the scoops to the cones 

before placing unit on card front.)

Tear and Tape

Basic White inner layer 4" x 5-1/4"

Seal Adhesive and Dimensionals

I plan to make more of this style of shaker card and I hope you will give it a try.

Let me know in the comments if you want to try this shaker card technique, I'd love to hear from you!

Have a creative day!
