Lip balm shadow box in a box Sun 31 March 19

Hi again Crazy Crew

Welcome to my blog, today we're making a lip balm box.  I'm always looking for new ways to package lip balms as I make a lot of teacher gifts for the kids and this is my first of this year.  I have another idea at the back of my mind but that's for future crafting lol.

What I used
Card stock from Craft Sensations for No 1
Stampin Up Share what you love card for No 2
A small heart and branch die set from stash
Tonic nuvo crystal glaze
Lip balm

Measurements in Inches
Shadow box 8 3/4 x 6 3/4
Score all sides at 1/2, 1 1/4, 1 3/4 and 2 1/2
Outer Box 8 7/8 x 6 7/8
Score all sides at 1 1/4 x 21/2
Lid 7 x 5
Score all sides 3/4 and 1 1/2.

Once again I hope you like and remember to check out the youtube channel.

Till next time

Teacher Christmas gift box lip balm tutorial Sat 8 December 18

Hi again all you beautiful, crazy crafters,

Today I've got another quick teacher gift idea.  I saw this on the paper pixie youtube channel and adjusted it to fit my lip balm.  My youtube tutorial shows you how quick and easy it is to do this.  

Measurements in inches

7 1/2 x 6 1/4
Score Long side at 1 3/4, 3 1/2, 5 1/4 and 7
Score Short side at 1 3/4 and 4 1/2

On the long side you need to score diagonally to both corners creating an X.  Then score from the centre of the top of the X down to the point where the X crosses over only.  Do this on all four squares.

Then burnish the X's are mountain fold and the small straight sections are valley folds.  Use an 1/8 inch hole punch to punch a hole on each side of the middle of the X.  Then glue and decorate.  I've used some gold twine an a Stampin Up tag from the Swirly snowflakes dies.  The paper is Stampin Up Broadway Bound Dsp.  The gold washi tape is from Poundland.

Hope you like it
Till next time
