Test Tube Candy Box Holder

I had a lot of fun, making these cute 3-D swaps for Convention. Though I accidently used a retired embossing folder, many girls asked for them like it didn't matter! I had several requests for instructions on how to make these, so I went on a hunt for the instructions I found online. Actually, it wasn't me who found it online, but my Mom. The copy she gave me listed the website it came from, but unfortunately the site is no longer up & running. 

So instead of sending you over to the source listed on my recipe, I've scanned in the page & will share with you the recipe for making this cutie!

(Not to scale)

Using an 11"x4" piece of card stock, you'll cut along the solid lines & score along the dashed lines.

Along the 11" side, you'll score at 1/2", 1 3/4", 4 1/4", & 5 1/2".

Along the 4" side (the top of the image), you'll score at 3". 

Use a 3/4"-1" circle punch, depending on the size of test tube you purchased. You want it to be a snug fit.

The test tubes were purchased through Seaside Crafts in a bulk order. Their website is currently under construction, but they have a Yahoo group to keep people informed of their current deals. http://groups.yahoo.com/group/seasidecrafts/

{Convention}

I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to go to convention this year! My mom has been a Stampin' UP! Demo for about 15 years & has gone to Convention many times. one of my favorite things to do when she came back was to go through all her swaps.

She's a bit of a swap-a-holic & takes no less than 500 swaps, but likes to take at least 1000. That number sounds overwhelming to these ears!

So far, I'm up to 80 swaps, with the hopes nothing I've made will be eliminated from the upcoming 2012-2013 Stampin' UP! Catalog.

Here's one I CASE'd just today. It was pretty quick to make & (I think) it turned out pretty cute, so I think this will be one of my swaps.

I used the new Summer Smooches DSP for this cute card. What do you think?

Thanks for stopping by! :)
