I thought this would make a great gift to give to a teacher - for the teacher to use so that hopefully he/she won't get some many 'colds'. Hand hygiene is so important.
For this project I used the color challenge with Create with Connie & Mary here . These colors are: Riding Hood red, Baja breeze and Peach Parfait.
Inks: Riding Hood Red, Baja breeze, Markers (Baja Breeze, Peach Parfait)
Papers: Riding Hood Red, Very Vanilla, Baja Breeze, Peach Parfait, Peach Parfait designer paper (from paper pack)
Accessories: Large Heart Punch, Scallop Oval Punch, Baja Breeze seam binding, rhinestones, dimesnionals, Envelope 3 1/8 X 3 1/8", 1 3/4 X 7/8" oval punch
Cut a piece of Riding Hood Red Paper 2 1/2" X 11.
Score at 1/2", 1 1/2", 3 1/2",4", 9", 10"
Cut an additional 2 1/2 X 4" piece of Riding Hood Red .
Use the 1 3/4 X 7/8" oval punch to punch a hole between the 1/2" and 1 1/2" score lines overlapping the 1 1/2" score line a little bit.
Fold all your score lines.
Place sticky tape on the 1/2" piece , fold it over and attach it to the 6 1/2" score line.
Attach the additional piece of Riding Hood Red at the 9" score line.
Decorate. Put a piece of velcro on the flap to keep it closed.
I added an additional piece of Baja Breeze card stock which I scalloped with the Scallop border punch.
You can see the placement of the velcro
The card is 3 X 3" and fits nicely in SU 3 1/8 X 3 1/8 envelope. The envelope is also decorated.

Great project Maria. Love your colours. Thanks for the tutorial - am going to give it a try.
Thank you for this idea! My son is in a team of 80+ kids, with 1 male and 3 female teachers. I had thought about making mini sanitizer holders for them, but all the minis I have are pretty "girly" - it's hard to come up with something that will work for men and women at the same time! I'm going out at lunch today to see if I can find some, so I can try this out. I made backpacks to put handmade chocolates and a gift card for coffee (we're in Seattle, so of course it's for coffee), but wanted something more and I think this will fit the bill perfectly! :-)
What a cute idea! I love how you made a matching set! Thanks for playing at CCMC!
This is so much fun! Thanks for sharing the directions! Thanks for playing the Create with Connie & Mary Challenge this week!
Very nice teacher gift. Love your color combo.
