A Lil' Holly & Jolly



This little number is multi purposed! You can use it for the hand sanitizers at B&BW and also they have these oils for your tea light lamps that also fit just perfect in here you just have to change what hole you punch. The best way to tell if a product will fit into this holder is take the bottom of the item and take your punches and see which punch it fits closely in and then see if that punch will fit into the 1x2 area you have to make your punch. Make sense??
Check back a couple of post you will find the directions for this project.

inside view of this Holly Jolly decor

Here is the little oil bottle that fits perfectly into the 1 inch circle punch.
The slat that you have to punch and put a product in is 1x2 so you can do bigger oval sized things because they are wider not deeper. The biggest circle whole you can punch is 1 3/8


These little Santa Hats are so fun to make!! Just a simple triangle box, embossed with Finial Press Embossing folder, I used the Tasteful Trim XL Die to make the scallop on the bottom
Fold a piece of cs 2- 1/2 by 5 and lay it on the die just above the scallop edge cut line and it will make this double scallop that just fits on the bottom of your box on both sides.
then I used my handy dandy Tags Til' Christmas and the decorative label punch and an accessorized Santa's Hat! How stinkin cute is that??
Don't you love the cascading white satin ribbon on top. that is my favorite part.
Thanks to Kimberly Van Diepen for the inspiration for this one!

side view-these would be great for Teacher Holiday gifts- Co-workers

Fall Triangle box filled with goodies for the Thanksgiving table.
Each person can take out their goodies and replace it with a sheet of CS rolled up with what they are most grateful for this Holiday season. You could also use them as name place settings.And again I used the tasteful trim die( a must have in your stash item) to decorate the edge.

Spookitize!!


Measurements:

Ø 2x11 CS score at ½ ,1 ½ ,3 ½ ,4 ½ , 7 ½ , 8 ½

Ø Fold all score lines. On the end where the ½ inch score line is put scor-tape there and on the next panel punch the medium oval punch right in the middle (this is where the mini hand sanitizer will fit into.) You can also use other bath & Body products

that will fit in up to the 1 3/8 circle punch. I hold the item and stick it in the center of the punch to see if it will fit and then I know what punch to use. You can't go bigger than 1 3/8.

Ø Be sure to center your punch in the middle & watch the ends do not get to far over.

Ø Stamp background stamps randomly all over the front and back of the CS in Versamark.

Ø Embellish with DSP & Stamp a sentiment or tag for the front

Ø Then fold it up and after sliding the hand sanitizer into the hole take scor-tape adhesive strip off and line the flap up and stick. You ar e done!! Easy peasy!

Great co-worker, employee gifts!!
