This hand sanitizer holder is quick and easy to make. You will need:
Stamps
card stock
Trimmer
patterned paper
scissors
For the box:
cut the card stock to 4 3/4 X 3 3/4″ . On the long side score 1″ from each side. Then turn counter clock wise and score at 1″ and 2 3/4″ (short side). Using small sharp scissors cut from the scoreline (short end) to the middle.
Place the card stock in your trimmer and cut at an angel from the inside score to the bottom outside to create a “mini” magazine holder. Next, fold the middle tabs inwards. You may need to trim these down just a bit so they are easier to work with. You may use glue or tape for this.
Stamp images of your choice (I used stamps and coordinating dies from Lawn Fawn) using tuxedo black ink onto copic quality card stock. Color with copic markers or medium of your choosing.
To decorate you box the inside piece measures 1 3/8″ X 2 5/8″ the patterned paper you will use on the back of the box has the same measurement. For the bottom outside front you will need a piece that is 7/8″ X 2 5/8″.
Attach a ribbon around the bottom portion if desired. Attach the flower under the ribbon and at an angel using wet glue. Layer on the fairy using dimensional dots. Source Judy Morrow. You may also decorate the back panel if desired. The hand sanitizer was purchased from bath and body works through eBay.

Here are a couple of quick tip “how to” video’s. The first is a reminder that we need to use our stamps in different configurations. Clear stamps are very flexible. You can easily bend them into a curve, or even cut them apart to use them as individual words or even ink them up partially as to use only a part of the stamp you desire.
This fun and easy technique offers some fun to any card.
In the second video I use stamps (all stamps/card stock are from My favorite things, stamps) to demonstrate how easy it is to use a wite out pen as a substitute for a paint pen. This technique is a handy one to have on hand for those times when you can’t find or have run out of your traditional white paint pens. The beauty of this technique is that these wite out pens are cheaper than the traditional paint pens!
I hope you will give these a try. If you do, please share your creations with me! Stamp Happy and be a blessing.

My husband, Mike and I closed on the home we are currently in on August 5, 2006. That was approximately 10 years 9 months ago. I have often heard it said that when you are in a home for any length of time that “stuff” seems to accumulate.
With our perorations to sell this home and move on it is time to purge out, sell off and yard sale off things we no longer use. I bet you guys didn’t know that before I went through my china I had over 29 place settings. Neither did I.
Over the years, I’m guilty of buying a few things that I wanted because I “saw some one else” making something cool with the product. Now those products have honestly gone unused and frankly forgotten for many years. It is time to keep what *I* love. I am still keeping many dies, stamps, paper and the lot for my crafty endeavors.
It is a fun change. It is a change that has and will have challenges. The important thing to remember is that as a family we work together and move on together.
Before you ask, no. We do not have another home lined up. I feel like a weird episode of “House Hunters”. We are down to THREE homes we love. Two in Alabama and one in Tennessee. Pray for us as we continue to purge! Thank you all for your support and don’t forget to go check out the EBAY Page for many choices for your die-cutting needs.
