Great quick Valentine gift idea…chapstick cards!

Every time I use one of Lori Whitlock’s .svg files I’m pleased.  Here’s another shining example of her super cool ability to make something awesome out of less than a HALF of a 12×12 sheet of paper.  This is a chapstick card that I made using Lori’s cool .svg file and my Silhouette Cameo.  You can find the chapstick card file in her store by clicking here.

Less than half of a 12×12 sheet of paper makes the whole card!

Using my Silhouette Cameo, I cut the file out without adjusting any sizes and this is how it came out.  So powerful and tiny!  I will now transform these tiny sheets of paper into a chapstick holder.  Voila!  Well, I will need some glue…and something to close it with…and some chapstick but after that…Voila! 😉

Pretty cool on the inside. Smart design.

That’s some Blistex lip balm I’ve got in there.  I use it a lot.  Don’t give used lip balm.  It is not appreciated.  LOL!

What we need are some stamps. Ah ha! Got ’em.

I decided to use those Marvy punches I’m always raving about along with my All Around Sentiments stamps. I created the stamps to work with 1″ & 1-1/2″ circle punches.  As I type this I’m realizing that I meant to use the “Love You” center.  Me sleepy…me not thinking straight…pretend you see it.  It looks good doesn’t it?  LOL!  Need some All Around Sentiments stamps?  You can buy them on my Products Page.

Side View. You look smashing, dahling!
