4-in-1 Aromatherapy Inhaler Gift Box

Happy International Essential Oil Day! This international day for essential oils was started in 2018 by Jared Turner the then COO of an essential oil company to celebrate the founder's birthday.

Today I am sharing an aromatherapy inhaler gift box. I love to make different aromatherapy blends for myself, my family, and my friends. I store my most frequently used blends in 15 ml stock bottles. I also add my blends to aromatherapy inhalers, glass and metal roller ball bottles, and to my lip balms and lotions. 

 
So when my mom asked me to make one of her friends an aromatherapy inhaler, I jumped at the chance to make a new blend for her friend. This is her friend's first time using an aromatherapy inhaler. The shape of the aromatherapy inhaler is a little unusual if you have never seen it before, so I created a little gift box for it.

Not only is the gift box a cute way to give an aromatherapy inhaler, but the box also protects the aromatherapy inhaler from dust and dirt.

 
An aromatherapy inhaler is a small tube with holes on the end. Essential oils are applied to a cotton wick and inserted into one end of the tube. Then a cap is placed on the end of the tube to hold the cotton wick inside. Next, a cover is added to the tube to protect it from getting dirty.

To use it, remove the cover and inhale slowly from the end with the holes with one nostril and then repeat on the other nostril. The inhaler comes very close to your nose, so once you use an aromatherapy inhaler that becomes your personal aromatherapy inhaler. 

 

Aromatherapy inhalers can be plastic, metal, or glass. For today's project, I am using a plastic aromatherapy inhaler. All of the gift box's measurements are based on a plastic aromatherapy inhaler.

Measurements

• Gift Box Base: 4-1/2" x 5-1/2"; scored at 1", 2", 3", & 4" on the 4-1/2" side and at 1/2", 1-1/2", 4-1/2" on the 5-1/2" side (Soft Sea Foam Cardstock)
• DSP Mats (cut 4): 7/8" x 2-7/8" (Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (DSP))
• Greeting Tag: 1" x 3" (Soft Sea Foam Cardstock)

Supplies

•  #159133 Simply Fabulous Stamp Set
• #146988 Soft Sea Foam Cardstock
• #158822 Hues of Happiness Designer Series Paper (DSP)
• #147099 Gorgeous Grape Ink Pad
• #151326 1/4" Basic White Crinkled Ribbon
• #110755 Multipurpose Liquid Glue
• #102300 Bone Folder
• #103579 Paper Snips
• #130148 Grid Paper
• #152392 Paper Trimmer
• #149653 Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
• #118489 Clear Block G
• #154330 Potted Succulent Dies

Although aromatherapy inhalers can last a long time, they can lose their scent over time. When the cotton wick needs a refresh, carefully remove the cap, take out the wick, and add more essential oils to the wick. Then put the wick back inside tube and replace the cap. You can also use a new wick instead of refreshing the old one.

 
Aromatherapy inhalers can be refreshed using single essential oils or a blend of essential oils. You can swirl the wick in a small bowl with essential oils or drop the essential oil(s) from a bottle directly onto the wick. Making a small 15 ml stock bottle of the inhaler blend would also make a nice pairing with the aromatherapy inhaler.

 

 
Once I made the inhaler gift box, I realized the shape of the box could easily be changed to fit a 15 ml stock bottle, a roller ball bottle, and a lip balm tube! I modified the height and the width of the original inhaler box to make boxes for each of the other 3 containers, making 4 boxes from 1 one box shape.

 

Below is a video showing how to make the aromatherapy inhaler box or watch it on YouTube HERE.

 

Have you made an aromatherapy inhaler before? Leave me a comment below, I would love to hear what your favorite essential oil blends are! If you need supplies to make this 4-in-1 aromatherapy inhaler gift box, please, shop my online store HERE.

Fourth of July Mini Faux Firecracker Treat Holders

You will never guess what today's Fourth of July mini faux firecracker treat holders were inspired by - a toilet paper roll. There are so many great craft ideas that can be made with a toilet paper roll. Don't worry these treat holders were inspired by the shape of them and not don't use actual toilet paper rolls.

I was trying to design a new container shape for a Fourth of July celebration. I have made a lot a boxes, bags, and wrappers over the years. I was really stumped for new ideas.

I brainstormed all of the symbols, colors, traditions, etc. associated with the Fourth of July. I kept coming back to firecrackers. I have made firecracker treat holders before, but not as the container themselves. I kept thinking what shapes do we have that I can make a firecracker shape from. What shape is a firecracker? The same shape as a toilet paper roll, and you can roll designer series paper to make a tube. This treat holder is what I came up with.

I rolled a 3" x 3" piece of Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper and adhered the ends together with both Tear & Tape Adhesive and liquid glue. I am not good at lining up edges of paper, so I used liquid glue to provide a little more time to work with the Tear & Tape Adhesive.

The scalloped circles are adhered to the top and bottom of the rolled designer series paper. The designer series paper edges are pretty narrow, so I scored 1/2" from each end and snipped every 1/4" or so to make tabs for the scalloped circles to adhere to. The tabs act almost like mini platforms for the scalloped circles to sit on.

Below is my first firecracker treat holder prototype. I used a scalloped circle that was just too small to fit the designer series paper tube onto, and the sparkler is huge. However, there is a better view of the tabs that hold the scalloped circle onto the designer series paper in this photo. Look at the top scalloped circle on the right side.

The sparklers are made with narrow strips of Silver Foil Paper adhered together in an asterisk shape. The bottom of the sparkler stem is scored to create a place to put adhesive and glue it to the top of the treat holder.

Below are the measurements and supplies to recreate these Fourth of July mini firecracker treat holders.

Measurements

• Designer Series Paper: 3" x 3"; scored at 1/2" & 2-1/2" (Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper)
• Scalloped Circles (cut 2): 2-1/2" x 2-1/2" (Pacific Point Cardstock or Sweet Sorbet Cardstock)
• Greeting Circle: 1-3/4" x 1-3/4" (Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper) - use the 1-1/2" circle die
• Greeting: 3" x 1" (Basic White Cardstock)
• Sparkler: 2" x 1/8" (cut 1) and 1-1/2" x 1/8" (cut 3) (Silver Foil Paper) - score the 2" x 1/8" piece at 1/4"

Supplies

#152517 Celebrate Sunflowers Stamp Set

The Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper pack is a 48-sheet pack of patterned paper that will be a HOST special in the upcoming July-December Mini Catalog. The July-December Mini Catalog will debut on July 1st. I know that is not a lot of time to place a qualifying order for this designer series paper. However, I wanted to share with you the versatility of this paper pack not only for fall and winter holidays but for summer holidays too. I know you are going to love the Celebrate Everything Designer Series Paper.

 

For today's faux firecracker treat holders, I recommend substituting with another designer series paper or stamping a 6" x 6" piece of Basic White cardstock with the solid flower image from the Color and Contour stamp set (#154994) to create a firework pattern.

Fourth of July Mini Cupcake Sparkler Decorations

My family and I are having a get together on the Fourth of July. I wanted to bring something for dessert that would be fun and festive. I saw these patriotic mini cupcakes at the grocery store and could not resist! To make these even more celebratory, I created sparkler cupcake toppers with Real Red and Pacific Point cardstock and toothpicks to decorate each of the mini cupcakes.

Two types of mini cupcakes came in the package - chocolate cake with marshmellow icing and vanilla cake with blue tinted vanilla frosting. Both varieties are topped with red, white, and blue sprinkle stars. Could they not get cuter than that?

These sparklers came together quickly and easily. I made about twenty in less than 15 minutes, including preparation time. To make more use of my cardstock scraps, I used long strips of scraps. I cut them to a 1-1/4" width and followed the steps 1-6 below. Then I cut the strips into 2" long pieces.

To make the sparkler cupcake decorations:

1. First, gather your supplies and cut your cardstock.
2. Then with the 1-1/2" side parallel to the paper trimmer's bottom ruler, score the cardstock at 1/4".
3. Fold and burnish the score line. This score line is to help the sparkler ends to puff out into a ball shape and to also know where to stop cutting the sparkler ends.
4. Curl the cardstock with a bone folder. This will help you roll the sparkler more easily.
5. Cut fringe along the 2" side, stopping at the score line.
6. Place Tear and Tape Adhesive along the scored area on the back of the sparkler.
7. Remove the adhesive backing and add a line of liquid glue. This will help the wooden toothpick stick better and give you more maneuverability to roll up the cardstock.
8. Let the toothpick sit in the liquid glue for a few seconds. Then roll up the cardstock. Hold the end of the cardstock for a few seconds to help the cardstock adhere in place.
9. Shape the sparkler by bringing the fringed ends of the cardstock down and out in a semi-spherical shape.
10. Add the sparkler decoration to your mini cupcake.

Because I used mainly long scraps for these sparkler decorations, there would be some cardstock left over that was not quite 2" long. One strip of cardstock only had about 1-1/4" left. So, I thought why not try it and see how full and puffy a 1-1/4" strip of cardstock would be. You can see in the photo below that the 1-1/4" strip of cardstock is not as full or as puffy as the 2" strips of cardstock, but it still looks really cute!

It would be fun to experiment with different lengths of cardstock to see which length makes the sparkler size and shape that you like the best!

Below are the measurements and supply list to make these Fourth of July sparkler cupcake decorations.

Measurements

• Sparkler: 1-1/2" x 2"; scored at 1/4" (Real Red and Pacific Point Cardstock)

Sneak Peek: Scary Cute Luminaries

I am so excited to share with you a sneak peek from the upcoming 2022 July-December Mini Catalog! Today's projects are a pair of Halloween tea light luminaries features the Scary Silhouette Dies.

There are so many wonderful new products in the 2022 July-December Mini Catalog that I know you are going to love! It was so hard to choose what to share first! I am starting with Halloween because it is one of my favorite holidays and because it is one of the first holidays in fall.

I created these luminaries to highlight the Scary Silhouettes Dies versatility and to display on my mantle in my family room for the Halloween season. Luminaries were the first idea that I had when I saw these dies! I noticed how the tree label shaped die could be used to cut a window out of the center of the solid label shaped die and thought how fun that would be to be a panel on a luminary!

 

 

I was determined to make luminaries this year even before I saw the July-December Mini Catalog. I have been sitting on this idea since early January when I made treat bags for Valentine's Day with hearts die cut around the tops of the bags. I thought they would be a perfect shape for a luminary!

 

 

The size and shape of my luminary was determined by the size of the solid label die. I measured the solid label die and drew up a template on my grid paper. The Basic Black cardstock luminary was my first prototype. I was really happy with my first attempt, but I quickly realized that I was a half an inch short for the solid label die. So, I used the other dies in the Scary Silhouettes Dies to cut bats, haunted houses, and moons out of the Basic Black cardstock. I adhered squares of vellum to the inside of the luminary and added a tea light candle inside.

I adjusted my measurements and cut a second luminary with vellum cardstock. My second attempt was a success! The solid label die cuts fit perfectly on each of the four sides of the luminary.

I die cut four solid labels and then cut the tree label from the center of each solid label to make each of the four side panels. Then I die cut cats, haunted houses, and bats to decorate each panel and placed a tea light candle inside.

Look at beautiful they look at night! You can really see how the vellum intensifies the light from the candle through the die cut areas!

I hope you enjoyed today's projects! How would you decorate your own luminaries? Below are the measurements and the supply lists for both versions of the Scary Silhouettes Halloween luminaries.

Vellum Luminary Measurements

Lakeside Father's Day S'mores Treat Cups and Bag Topper

My older brother inspired me to create today's projects - a bag topper tag and s'mores treat cups featuring the Campology stamp set (#152553). He and his family live by a lake in New Hampshire. They love to hike the trails, take bike rides, and kayak on the lake.

With Father's Day fast approaching, I knew some last minute treat holders would perfect for a lakeside cookout. I created a treat bag topper to decorate a host gift - a bag of s'mores snack mix.

The s'mores snack mix is made of chocolate covered mini graham crackers and mini marshmallows. It is delicious and surprisingly difficult to put down! When I found it at one of our local grocery stores, I immediately thought of sitting around the fire pit with my brothers and our families last summer. It was nice to all be together!

I also created some 2-1/2" cubed treat cups filled with a bag of s'more mix for immediate enjoyment around the lake and by the campfire. The treat cups are stamped with the tent, binoculars, trees, and coffee pot with a cup images as well as two of the greetings on a simple open-topped box.

I used gusseted cellophane bags and the gold twist ties that come with the cellophane bags. If the treat cups were for party favors to take home instead of enjoying during the cookout, I would have used a ribbon to close the bags. I recommend placing the cellophane bag in the treat cup first to make it easier to fill.

Below are the measurements and the supply lists for both the bag topper and the treat cups.

It is a sweet, well done designers series paper! The scale of each pattern is perfect and easy to use on a variety of smaller and larger projects without losing the detail of the overall pattern, which can be difficult with the smaller 6" x 6" designer series paper packs. I love the paper with the flowers inside of the envelopes!

Q & A: How I Make Large Amounts of Treat Holders

One of my favorite types of papercrafting projects is a treat holder. I enjoy making treat holders for different holidays and occasions. I try to make a variety of treat containers, including boxes, bags, and pockets, that fit specific types of treats. Most often the treat is candy! 

And, of course, you can't just make one treat holder. I make quite a large number of treat holders for each holiday and occasion and give them to family, friends, customers, and community members. 

I get a lot of questions from my family, friends, and customers about how I make my treat holders. One of the most frequent questions I get is "how do I make so many treat holders all at once?". The answer is organized batching. I make a prototype, break it down into basic components, and make a plan for each step. Let's look at my thought process further.

Make a Treat Holder Prototype

The first step is to design the treat holder itself. Determine what kind of shape you would like the treat holder to be. Use grid paper to make a to-scale drawing or sketch it on a piece of paper. Once you are happy with your design, make a treat holder prototype. The prototype should be the actual size of your treat holder designer.

Tip: Write down your measurements for each part of the treat holder. Keep those measurements handy to refer to when cutting cardstock and designer series paper.

Break Down the Steps to Make the Treat Holder

Next, think about the steps it took to create your treat holder. Did you cut cardstock? Did you score or die cut? Make a list of each step. It is ok to have simple steps, such as place the candy in the box or score at 2". 

Tip: Breaking down the steps makes your preparation and assembly more efficient and less overwhelming.

Prepare One Step at a Time

Once you have your list of steps to prepare and make your treat holder, it is time to cut your materials and gather your supplies. Cut one step at a time. For example, if you have 3 parts to your treat holder, cut all of part 1, then all of part 2, and finally all of part 3. Keep your measurements close by to refer to.

Tip: If the treat holder has both scoring and cutting, I will score all of the pieces and then cut all of the pieces instead of scoring and cutting one piece at a time. 

Assemble One Step at a Time

Clear your workspace or table before beginning the preparation. Be sure to have plenty of room for each step's pieces, punches, die cuts, etc. Complete one step for each of the treat holders. Then move on to the next step and so on.

Tip: Have a landing area ready to hold completed treat holders such as a tray, a large bowl, or a platter to keep the clutter down and to avoid knocking a treat holder on the floor.

Sometimes, I will put on music, a podcast, or the tv. I catch up the latest episodes of my favorite shows while I assemble treat holders.

I hope this post helps you to see how I make large numbers of treat holders. What stamping questions do you have? Email your stamping questions. I would love to help answer your stamping questions in a future blog post!

Valentine’s Day Sticky Note Holders with Mini Pens

I love giving out candy and treats on Valentine's Day to my family, friends, and community members. But, Valentine's Day can be more than candy and chocolate. There are great non-food treats to share on Valentine's Day! Today's project is one of them, for sure! This is an updated version of my sticky note holders with mini pens from last Halloween.

These sticky note holders with mini pens are perfect for teachers, office staff, students, and anyone needing to jot down a quick note. Count me in too!

These Valentine mini pens came from my local pharmacy. The mini pens have owls, hearts, llamas, and unicorns printed on them. Too cute to resist!

When I went in the pharmacy, Valentine's treats were not on my radar yet. I happened to pass by them on my way to the register. Isn't that always the way?!

I have included my graphic template for the sticky note holder base below.

You can also check out my video showing how to assemble the sticky note holders in my blog post here.

How will you decorate your sticky note holders? I would love to see what you create! Post a project photo on my Facebook Page today!

You can find the measurements and a supply list for this project at the end of the post. I hope you enjoyed this project! Please leave a comment below after the post! I would love to hear from you!

Thanks for stopping by!
Beth
