This week I've borrowed an idea from a fellow team member, Christine, when she gave me a Halloween version of this cute little guy. Christine found the idea from another stamper who might have gotten it from someone else and so on (see how easy it is to create… just borrow an idea!). No re-inventing the wheel for me.
The little hand sanitizers are from Bath & Body Works. Bought them yesterday 5 for $5 – such a deal!
I went to my card stock stash and matched the color of the hand sanitizer to our Stampin' Up! card stock. From left to right: Cherry Cobbler, Marina Mist, Pretty in Pink, So Saffron, and Garden Green. Pretty close, don't ya think?
Cut card stock 2" x 5 1/2" and lay over just the tag with the scallop edge.
Once cut out, try strategically placing the tag into an embossing folder.
Isn't this effect gorgeous?
I embossed another one and then scored it at 1 3/4" & 2 5/8" from the flat end.
I had to figure out a way to get the punched hole in the center so I quickly cut a template with scissors, I traced the circle and just punched it out by holding the punch upside down and aligning the traced hole to the punch hole. So simple.
Here's a lesson learned from me. Don't do what I did. I drew the circles on the front of the tag. Once punched that makes the embossed ones unusable. Better to draw the circle on the back so when you punch you have these cute little circles to use on another project (no waste!).
And the finished products! I purposely restrained myself from making them too fancy. I figure that you'd want to make a bunch at once so the fewer elements for each one, the better.
On the So Saffron one, note that the image is actually from a new Holiday mini set – Sweet Snowglobe. I stamped the whole image (a bit larger) then just punched out a part that I liked.
And the Garden Green one cracks me up. It's only a hand sanitizer so the sentiment is sort of funny. I hope you enjoy this "little" idea and run, don't walk, to Bath & Body Works!
