Gorgeous Posies: Nov 24 Tuesdays At Two

Hand Sanitizer Gift box with flip lid

 Last week I shared with you a matchbox gift box for a hand sanitizer and lip balm.  I got part of my order of my hand sanitizers and they have two style of bottles.  One is kind of a round shape and the other more angular.  

This morning when I went to put one of the bottles in the matchbox gift box I found out that the angular one does not fit in this gift box.  So sad..... So this morning I revamped another gift box that I used with this style bottle a couple years ago.  

It has a flip lid. I changed this one up a little more in that I added a window.  I have sold these at craft fairs and this way the customer can actually see what scent the sanitizer is. If you are giving a gift, this step can be left out.  


Here's the video on how I made it.  If the video does not show up on your mobile device click here.


Here's and alternative pattern

If you want to make the box for just the hand sanitizer, adjust the width to 2-1/4" for the box and the panels to 2".  The rest, length and scoring is the same.

Dimensions: 

Cardstock: 

piece one: 9-1/2" x 3", score at 3-1/2", 4-3/4" & 8-1/4"

piece two: 5-1/4" x 3", score at 1/2", 1-3/4" and 4"

DSP:
2-3/4" x 3-1/4" and 1" x 2-3/4"

Label: scrap of cardstock and Whisper White for circle.

Easy Shaker Card: Nov 17, 2020 "Tuesdays At Two"

Sometimes shaker cards can be a bit intimidating and, I for one, have messed them up more than once.  This one is easy enough for anyone, unless you are like me have 4 thumbs, like me today.  :-) If you follow my 2nd attempt with the sequins you will succeed!  Stuff always happens when you go live.  LOL

This shaker uses one of our clear envelopes that are usually used for storing or displaying cards.  It makes for an easy shaker card!  Who'd a thunk it!


I love the adorable Snowflake Sequins!  They really are enhanced against this Snowflake Splendor DSP.  This DSP is one of my favorites with it's blues and color washes. 
Frosty sure looks at home in this little scene.  I used the Snow Wonder stamp set and coordinating dies, Snow Time. Frosty is colored with Stampin' Blends.  You could also use Watercolor pencils and a Blender Pen.

I made another card yesterday with the Trimming the Town DSP and Pear Pizzaz cardstock. Which do you like better?

The outside background layer is die cut with the Rectangle Stitched dies and then embossed with the Tasteful Textiles 3D embossing folder.
