From Me to You

Good morning!

Happy Thursday to you all.

I have a fun ornament to share today using some awesome products from Crafter's Companion!

This is my first attempt with Spectrum Noir Markers. I think it turned out just fine!

Since my stash is still pretty small, and this image has the gift, and fun sentiment, I decided that Florence needed to be a part of today's creation again!  

Today, I've used these Crafter's Companion products:

Angelica & Friends Collection - EZ Mount Stamp Set 'Florence'

Memento Tuxedo Black Dye Ink

Spectrum Noir Ultra Smooth Premium White Cardstock 8.5" x 11"

Spectrum Noir Markers - Skin: FS2, FS6, TN2

Clothing: BT1, BT2, BT4

Hair: TN2, TN7, TN8

Gift: BT5

Wings: TB1, TB2

Shadows: IG1

Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pens: Wings: Moonstone, Flowers: Holly Leaf, Holly Berry, Ribbon: Moonlight

Hope that you like this fun ornament!

I'll be back next week with another fun creation for Crafter's Companion.

Thanks for stopping by!

Repeat Impressions Project of the Week...Lip Balm Holder

Hi there!

Christmas is just around the corner, and we always need a last minute inexpensive, but thoughtful gift for friends, neighbors, Sunday School members, etc.

My Project of the Week for Repeat Impressions is quick, easy, and adorable!

Let's get started - we are making a Lip Balm Holder...

Start with a 4 3/4" x 4 1/4" piece of cardstock.

On the 4 3/4" side, score at 2" and 2 3/4".

On the 4 1/4" side, score at 3/4" and 3 1/2".

Burnish your fold lines with a bone folder.

On the 4 3/4" side, cut in to the fold lines to create 4 tabs, as shown below.

Add 2 sided adhesive tape, embellish front side as desired, and punch out a 'handle'.
For my card front, I've used Repeat Impressions 2107-H 'Noel', and heat
embossed it in silver.

Bring your flaps in together and adhere. Pull your box front and back up, and let the

remaining 'sticky' adhere the tabs and box together.  It will look like this.

Drop in your lip balm, and tie 'handle' closed. (I also colored my poinsettia)

Looking at this from the top down, here's what it should look like.

Give it a try!  If you do, stop by and let us know, so we can come see your beautiful creation!

Thanks for stopping by today!

Hugs,

I decided to use it as the inspiration for my card today.
