Avon Chapstick Holders + Hello Kitty Freebie

I am still working on items for my craft fairs coming up. Here are some more avon chapstick holders I made. The first one is using Lindsay's Nature's Christmas Set. I colored it with copics and added some inking to the edges then some red stickles and pearl paint to Santa and the holly berries. The second one is made using some freebie clipart that I got for joining the PC Crafters site. The third one uses Lindsay's Winterland clipart set. So easy, just print!

To make these, just cut them at 5.5"x3.5" Then a 3"x1" strip. I scored the holders at 2 3/8" and 3 1/8" Then I scored the strips at 3/4" and 2 1/4". Then I just use my ATG gun to adhere the strips to the holders along the score line. I used a corner rounder punch to finish them off.

I just wanted to remind you that there is a sale going on today!!! So hop on over to Lindsay's store!

 

Per follower request, here is your thursday freebie, a Hello Kitty Reindeer! Enjoy!

Warm Winter Wishes + Border Freebie!

Hello and Happy Thursday! This week I wasn't in the mood to color, so what better time than to use some clipart?! I usually don't work with clipart, but after making this card, I definately will more often! I love how easy it was. And first of all, I must apologize for the sadness of how the photo turned out. My mother borrowed my camera, so I was forced to use an older one (that I despise) and it didn't turn out so well. So when I tried to make another one, the camera batteries were dead. argh!

Anyways, back to the card. I used a sketch from InStyle Stamps blog. I printed the clipart on textured white cardstock. I printed the gifts and the tree star two times, because I wanted to layer them with pop dots (hard to see in photo). The paper is from DCWV. It isn't supposed to be christmas paper, but it reminded me of snow, so I thought it looked nice. Then I just added some sparkle!  

You can find this set here.

This week I opted to make something totally different. I needed to make some new business cards for my upcoming craft fair in december. So I used Lindsay's new Bowling Fun Papers to create a fun and colorful business card! I manipulated the papers on my free Paint.net program and then saved the file and opened it in my Microsoft Publisher program to add the text.

Here is the first design I came up with. I was beginning to run out of printer ink, so I altered the design some more and came up with another design which you can see below.

 I acutally like the white design better. What do you think?

Before I hand over your freebie, I wanted to show you Lindsay's other new sets!
