A Little Something to Brighten Your Day

I can’t seem to stop playing with the Paper Pumpkin Box of Sunshine kit! I have made a bunch of sunshine boxes and one of the things I put in them was lip balm! I made fun holders for the tic tacs and hand sanitizers I put in the boxes (you can view those HERE) and decided to make something for the lip balm too! Here’s the one I made using the contents of the kit with some Poppy Parade cardstock and gingham ribbon.

I cut up one of the card fronts for the sentiment piece on the inside. I was able to make four of these from one card front. One of the things I love about my Paper Pumpkin kits is once I’ve used all the contents I still have the stamp set (and ink spot) to use again and again. I love the sentiments and the sun image that was included in the June kit! I attempted to make the sun like the die cuts in the kit so I sponged crushed curry and poppy parade ink on whisper white card stock with my sponge daubers.  Then I heat embossed the sun using Versamark and Gold Embossing Powder and fussy cut it out. *Here’s cool tip for fussy cutting the sun… Cut or punch a circle around the sun then use your scissors to snip around the rays. Quick & easy!

I love the collection of stamps from my Paper Pumpkin kits. I keep a 3 ring binder as a reference showing the stamps included in each kit.  It’s easy to flip through when I’m looking for a sentiment or image. It makes it quick to find exactly what I need.

Normally I would punch or use a die to cut the sentiment out but I decided to go with fussy cutting around the words and I really like how it turned out! I think it adds a little more interest and highlights this wonderful sentiment.  I hope it makes the recipient want to open it up to see what’s inside!

I had so much fun making these for my friends & family that I ordered a bunch more lip balm from Amazon to make these for the residents at our local nursing home. I wanted to do something special for them during this pandemic. I was concerned about giving them candy, etc. due to different allergies and knew that lip balm is something they can all use. I made different colors to coordinate with the lip balm. (It’s all about the presentation! LOL) Here’s a look at each of the different patterns I used from the Flowers For Every Season Designer Series Paper.

Bumblebee and Misty Moonlight

Bumblebee and Just Jade

Blushing Bride and Poppy Parade

Here’s the details…*You can make 3 from each sheet of cardstock and 4 from each 6 x 6 piece of DSP!

Measurements

• Cardstock (Bumblebee or Blushing Bride): 3 x 6 scored at 1 mark before 2 3/4 and 1  mark before 3 3/8 (2 11/16 and 3 5/16), scrap to stamp and cut sentiment
• DSP (Flowers For Every Season): 2 1/2 x 2 3/4
• Whisper White: 1 3/4 x 2 3/4 (for inside), scrap to punch 2 daisies and sentiment
• Bumblebee: scrap to punch 1/2″ circle
• Ribbon : 4″

Directions

1. Fold the cardstock on one of the score lines then make 2 cuts up to the second score line.
2. Open and fold the cardstock like a book.  The middle section pops forward like a step on the inside to hold the chapstick.

   

   

3. Adhere the DSP to the front. Close the card and punch through all layers with the Detailed Trio Punch.

   

   

4. Stamp sentiment in coordinating ink, fussy cut and adhere to the front.
5. Punch 2 daisies using the medium daisy punch. Offset and adhere together. Punch 1/2 circle from Bumblebee cardstock and adhere to the center. Attach daisy to the card with Stampin’ Dimensional.
6. Stamp sentiment on Whisper White cardstock and adhere inside. Add the chapstick.
7. Thread ribbon through the hole and tie a simple knot.
