Hello everyone! Remember that Test Tube Gift Card Holder that I showed you last week! We'll it's now available in a kit for you to purchase ... and in four different color schemes!
Pictured to the left is the original in Real Red, Pumpkin Pie and Whisper White. It's stamped with the Tart & Tangy and A Word for You Stamp Sets. The test tube is filled with fruit shaped candies!
Pictured to the right is the new color scheme of Certainly Celery, Elegant Eggplant and Whisper White. I used the Watercolor Trio Stamp set to stamp the images and added some of the new fabulous Basic Pearls to the center of the flowers. Are you wondering what you might put in this test tube? What about some scented bath salts along with a gift card to a favorite bath shop or spa? What about flower seeds with a gift card to a local nursery? What about potpourri with a gift card to a candle store? You get the picture! There are all sorts of ways you can use this cute gift card/test tube duo! The photo on the left shows you the inside of the Gift Card Holder once it's all together! (click on the photo to view it larger).
I've now added an additional two color schemes! The one on the left is Pretty in Pink and Elegant Eggplant. It would be great for any girly gift or floral theme. Here I've used the Friends Rock stamp set along with Dazzling Diamonds Glitter and Adhesive Basic Rhinestones for lots of bling. And look what fits in the test tube? What child doesn't always need more Stylus sticks for their DS game system? Imagine their surprise when they open the card to find a gift card inside!
And for fall, I've added one additonal color scheme -- Chocolate chip and Pumpkin Pie! I've paired it here with Rock N' Roll stamping and the Day of Gratitude Stamp Set.
Each kit contains pre-cut and scored cardstock to make 5 complete test tube gift card holders. You pick the color scheme you want to order. Can't decide, order more than one! Kit also includes five test tubes, five cork stoppers and ribbon for all five sets. The photos on the right show you what you will get to complete each card (remember, the kits include materials to make 5 complete gift card holders!). Click on the small photos to view them larger. Remember, all the cardstock is pre-cut and pre-scored, making it so quick and easy to add your own stamping, test tube fillers and gift card! These can literally be put together in minutes! A printed instruction sheet is also included with each kit. The kits sell for $14.95 which includes USPS First Class S&H. Each kit makes 5 complete gift card holders! The only supplies you need are your own stamps and ink pads, SNAIL adhesive, Sticky Strip, test tube filler and embellishments.

Gretchen - I am always looking for test tubes online and never seem to come up with the right size. Would you mind sharing privately where you get them from? I have also looked for them several places in Phoenix.
Thanks, Karen

Kretchen.
I love all the things you do. I recently ordered 2 sets of your kits with the test tubes and during the time they came my father became very ill and passed away. Well, I can't find them and want to make them this weekend just to get back into my stamping. Could you possibly send me just the directions via e-mail. You can look up on your records where I ordered them.during July. Thanks so much. Do you share where you get the test tubes. I am a SU demonstrator. Keep up the good work. Paula P

Gretchen: I love your ideas using the test tubes. I would like to make 90 of them for my grand-daughters to take to school for Halloween favors. Where do you find the test tubes. Thank you for your help. Glynda Moon ([email protected])

Gretchen,
Ordered my kit and made them up. I'd love to make my own, but have no idea what size test tube and corks to order. Can you provide that info to a fellow SU demonstrator?
Thanks,
Kelley

Hi Gretchen. Thank you for your wonderful site and your cute projects. I also have been lookingfor test tubes, especially since they are shown in the Stampin' Up catalog and no supply site is mentioned. I would really appreciate any help you could give me in finding these supplies. Thanks - Lyn

Gretchen,
I am interested in purchasing one of your Test Tube Gift Holder kits. However, I am also interested in purchasing additional Test Tubes. Do you sell them in addition to the kits?
Thank you so much.

Like most everyone else, I'm wondering where you get the test tubes. These are too cute!
I actually got to this page from your Sept 10th page. That is the page I was sent to when I clicked on the link in TODAY's page. I love the card for the Stamping 411 challenge today, and wondered how you made the leaves. That flower is too cute also!
Thanks for all you do.

Hi Gretchen! I love ALL of your designs. They are all just adorable. I want to order but I can't make up my mind as to WHAT I want to order.
I guess I will be the 100th person to ask this and I apologize beforehand. Can you tell me where you bought your test tubes and corks?
Thanks!
