Fabulous Friday and TUTORIAL!!

Hi Everyone! I am very excited to tell you that today I am being featured over at Scrappily Ever After!! Every Friday she will be featuring a different blog and this week its me!! :)

I have a SPECIAL PROJECT for you all! This is my first time making it and I am excited to share it with you!

Christmas Hand Sanitizer Holder

These gifts are perfect for co-workers, teachers, friends etc.. they each hold alittle hand sanitizer. I got mine from Bath and Body works (which they have Christmas scents in stock now!)

And here is a picture of the inside..

TUTORIAL

Cut two pieces of cardstock, one 3x10 and one 6 x 1 1/2.

Score! Score the big piece at 1, 2, 5 1/2 and 6 1/2. Then score the small piece at 1/2, 1 1/2, 4 1/2 and 5 1/2. Then still with the smaller piece, score at 1/4 the opposite direction that you just scored. After you are done scoring, fold along all score lines and cut your small piece to look like mine below...

Punch a hole! I do not have an oval punch from SU so I used my window word punch to punch my hole. I used punched over and over again until my hole was big enough for the hand sanitizer to fit.

Now you will attach your small cardstock to the bigger piece. Glue the bottom tabs of your small cardstock to your bigger piece as pictured below. After its secured to the bottom glue the sides to the back and the front of your holder.

Here is what it looks like all glued together. I also added cardstock to the inside to make it alittle nicer then just plain cardstock.

And now here is what it looks like with the hand sanitizer in it. To keep the hand sanitizer in place I put a small glue dot on the bottom.

Now decorate the cover how ever you would like. I decided to cut a deer from Christmas Solutions. I also added tulle to the top to make it look alittle fancier.

And here is a shot of the side...

Thanks to everyone for visiting my blog and reading my tutorial and a special thanks to Holly for featuring me on her blog today!!

Thanksgiving Craft Fair Items

Here are some pictures of some Thanksgiving stuff I've been working on getting ready for craft fairs. My first one is on the 13th!! So far my most popular item... M&M Sticks. I get tons of questions asking me where I get my bags. They are from http://www.clearbags.com/ and they are 1x8 inches. The toppers are made from Gypsy Wanderings. Instead of ribbon at the top I tie them with Tulle. I like the look of tulle better.

Sour Cream Containers! These are filled with hershey kisses. Again the toppers are make with Gypsy Wanderings and Stamping Solutions. Also the stamp is from Pink by Design stamps which can be purchased at http://www.pinkcricut.com/.

Turkey Poop! This turkey is cut from Create a Critter.

Thanks for reading!

Fantabulous Cricut Challenge # 34 - Birds

Hello Friends and HAPPY 1ST DAY OF NOVEMBER!!! So sorry I haven't been updating my blog lately. I've been so busy preparing for craft fairs and filling orders I've been receiving on facebook. I promise to be better!! :)

Anyways, this weeks challenge over at Fantabulous Cricut is Birds! Create a project that incorporates a bird or something to do with birds. Here is my card!

The bird is cut from my FAVORITE cartridge, Create a Critter! The background and shadow to the background are both cut from Gypsy Wanderings. I used my new Scenic Route paper! I love the fall colors and of course had to throw in alittle pink, stickles and gems! :)
