Hey everyone! Welcome to Satur-YAY! We're celebrating the weekend by getting our craft on! I hope you'll join me in your creative space, get those creative juices flowing and let's get to makin'!
Today I'm using some fun new products from My Favorite Thins. Their Sending Smooches Stamp Set, Lip Balm Window and Frame die set and Lip Balm pouches are perfect for the little gifts we are going to make today. I thought it would be fun to combine them with the adorable Spa Day and Make It Beautiful stamp sets from the Essentials By Ellen Line.
I'll walk you through the entire creation of these cards in the video tutorial below and show you how I created a trap door to allow the recipient to easily remove the lip balm while preserving the card. That was a magic moment when I figured out how to make that work. :)
I used some Spectrum Noir AquaBlend colored pencils to color my stamped images today. These pencils make it quick and easy to achieve a beautiful watercolor look. They come in some beautiful colors as well!
I've created some custom lip balms for my project as well. This was as easy as cutting down some patterned paper and wrapping it around the lip balm tube. I recommend cutting your patterned paper to 1 3/4 inch by 2 1/2 if you are using the Chapstick brand standard lippies.
While pursuing online, I also found some adorable mini (and I mean very mini) lip gloss tubes. I thought this would make a fun alternative to lip balm. I simply decanted some of my favorite lip gloss in to the tube and sealed it up. I love anything mini...and these adorable gold topped lip gloss tubes are no exception. I would make sure that you're using a new lip gloss if you're giving this as a gift.
Don't forget to check out the video tutorial below. You'll find lots of helpful tips and tricks there. I've also linked the supplies below too so that you can easily find them.
Now that you've seen my project for today...it's your turn to get creating. I'd love to see what you're making today. Be sure to share you project on social using #EllenHutsonSaturYAY so I can check it out.
Thanks for stopping by today. I hope you've enjoyed these projects. I think they're so much fun! Until next time, Happy SaturYAY and I hope you have a fabulous day! MUAH!
