Halloween will be here in a few days so I’m sharing a quick gift idea – a “Cute Halloween” Hand Lotion Package. It uses the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper from the Stampin’ Up! July-Dec Mini Catalog. This is one of my favorite “go-to” packages for small hand lotions (approx. 1 ounce size). The packages are very easy and quick to assemble using designer series paper. Carrying through with the Halloween theme, I’m using the coordinating Cutest Halloween Bundle and the Tailored Tags Dies to create simple tags. Friends and family members will enjoy these “non-caloric” Halloween treats!!!
Below is the project information for the “Cute Halloween” Hand Lotion Package and a video on how to score, cut and assemble the hand lotion package.
Cute Halloween Hand Lotion Package Cutting, Scoring & Assembling:
Cute Halloween 6″x6″ Designer Series Paper: cut 4-1/2″ x 6″
on the 4-1/2″ side, score at 2″ and 4″
rotate 90 and score on one 6″ side at 1″ (NOTE: if paper has a vertical design, be sure to score so that pattern will be running vertical and score line is at bottom of the paper.)
turn paper again and with the horizontal 1″ score line at the top of the score board and the 1/2″ vertical score line to the right – score at 1″ and 3″ just up to the 1″ horizontal score line (this is demonstrated in the video below) Alternate Size: if your hand lotion tube is slightly longer, instead of scoring horizontally at 1″, score at 3/4″ – all other measurements remain the same.
Fold & burnish on all score lines.
With paper snips, cut along all of the vertical score lines up to the 1″ horizontal score line. Cut and remove the 1/2″ panel piece below the 1″ horizontal score line. (This will form the bottom of the package.)
Fold along the long vertical score lines and insert the top into the Delightful Tag Topper Punch and punch to create top of the box.
With a strong adhesive such as Tear & Tape, Seal+ or Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive, create a “tube” by sealing the side of the package. Place the adhesive on the 1/2″ side flap and fold other side to meet – press firmly to seal.
Next, form bottom by folding the flaps and sealing with strong adhesive.

Whenever I need a quick and easy treat holder, I like to create a diaper fold treat holder. It’s the perfect size for holding a small treat. Best of all, multiples can be created quickly. Even though we no longer have visits from treat or treaters, I like to give small treats to family and friends. So, I am am making some diaper fold Halloween Treat Holders using the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper and the Cutest Halloween Bundle. Since the designer series paper pack is 6″ x 6″, there is no cutting necessary making the project even easier! Add a Halloween sentiment, some embellishment, then fill with a treat and it’s done: easy-peasy! I demonstrate how to make the diaper fold Halloween Treat Holder in the assembly video below.

Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper Pack

Today’s card is another from the recent class featuring fun fold cards. It’s a design that I saw some time ago and then again recently. So, I decided to use the fun fold to showcase the beautiful Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper. In addition, the coordinating Artistically Inked Bundle from the Expressions In Ink Suite adds the perfect embellishment. This fun fold design is a great for showcasing designer series papers and helps to “clear your stash”! Though I am calling it a “fun fold”, don’t you think it’s really a “fancy fold”?

Expressions In Ink Designer Series Paper (select 2 coordinating design patterns)
from one pattern, cut the following:
3-1/2″ x 5-1/2″

from second pattern, cut the following:

Are you a plant lover? I am but unfortunately I do not have a “green thumb”. Thankful my husband keeps our houseplants alive! But Stampin’ Up! offers me the chance to create plants that don’t need watering or the right amount of light to survive (LOL). This week, I have a fun fold card featuring the Plentiful Plants Bundle. It also features the Bloom Where You’re Planted Designer Series Paper which coordinates with the stamp bundle. What’s great is the Perfect Plants Dies from the bundle will cut some of the images found in the designer series paper. This is especially helpful when you need to create a card quickly. As you’ll notice on the stamped envelope below, the plant and pot have shading. Thanks to the Plentiful Plants Stamp Set containing Distinktive stamps which create beautiful shaded images.
The materials, measurements and assembly details are located below the card photo.
Materials for the Plentiful Plants Fun Fold Card:
Plentiful Plants Bundle (#155688)

Recently while shopping at T.J. Maxx, I found Halloween themed fingernail files and wouldn’t you know, the nail files coordinate with several Stampin’ Up! products. So of course, I “had” to purchase them! And naturally added to my project agenda was creating Halloween themed fingernail file holders for gifting to friends. I settled upon one of my favorite wraps to use for holding the fingernail files – an origami wrap. Often this design is maybe called chopstick wrap or pencil holder wrap so it’s quite versatile. As you’ll see in my video below, the Halloween themed fingernail file holders are easy to make and come together quickly.
Project Materials & Details:
Cutest Halloween Bundle
Cute Halloween 6″ x 6″ Designer Series Paper (refer to Assembly Video)
Score one 6″ x 6″ piece of designer series paper at 1-1/2″, 3″ and 4-1/2″. Burnish score lines with bone folder.
On the upper right corner, fold the corner in so that it meets the score 4-1/2″ line and use bone folder to crease.
Then on the upper left corner, fold this corner to the middle 3″ score line and crease the fold with the bone folder.
On the left lower corner, fold in to the 1-1/2″ score line and crease with bone folder.
Next, fold the right side in to the middle and wrap the left side around and attach at the back with strong adhesive.
Layering Circles Dies (used the 2-1/4″ scalloped die & the 1-7/8 circle die)
Tuxedo Black Memento Ink Pad
Basic White and Highland Heather cardstocks (scrap pieces)
Paper Snips (use for fussy cutting images from designer series paper)
Cute Stars Adhesive Backed Sequins
Tailormade Tag Dies (optional – used for tag on the Bat fingernail file holder)
Seal+ Adhesive
Stampin’ Dimensionals
Bone folder
Decorate as desired using images from the Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper and stamp sentiments from the coordinating Cutest Halloween Stamp Set. If you prefer, you can also stamp images using the Cutest Halloween Stamp Set. But as you can see in the video, using the images from the designer series paper makes the project even quicker!
ASSEMBLY VIDEO
In addition to the Halloween themed fingernail files, I also purchased fall themed fingernail files. Wouldn’t you know, that Stampin’ Up! also has stamps and paper to coordinate with them!!! For the fall theme, the Nuts About Squirrels Stamp Set provided a perfect finishing touch to the fingernail file holders.
The themed fingernail files and the coordinating holders make perfect “little something” gifts! I hope you have fun creating them for your friends and family!

If you’ve followed some of my previous post, you know I enjoy making special packaging for small gifts. One of my favorite small gifts to give is the pocket size Bath & Body Works Hand Sanitizers. For the last Playtime with Paper team meeting, I created the Peachy Day Hand Sanitizer Holder for the B&B Works Peach Mango sanitizer. Isn’t it wonderful that Stampin’ Up! and B&B Works coordinates their themes?! (LOL) The original design for the holder is from Erica Cerwin (Pink Buckaroo Designs) and is one of my favorite designs for packaging hand sanitizers. It’s much simpler than other designs that I have used and is great for also showing the decorative sanitizer label. Thanks to Erica!
You’ll find project details and an assembly video below the project photo…
Materials for the Peachy Day Hand Sanitizer Holder:
Pale Papaya Cardstock: 3-3/4″ x 4-3/4″. Score on the long side at 1″ and 2″. Rotate and score on the short side at 1″ and 2-3/4″.
