Hi friends,
Have you checked out the #MerryBlogmas link parties yet? There’s some awesome creativity happening over there! To celebrate Blogmas in my own way, and continue with my Holiday Hootenanny, I’ve decided to post once a day leading up to Christmas! This week’s party is all about gifts so get ready for some awesome Christmas gift related posts headed your way!

While I was perusing the land of Pinterest for Christmas ideas, I kept seeing tons of Christmas cards that incorporated EOS lip balms; like this one, and this one, and this one. I loved the idea and knew it’d be a perfect stocking stuffer for my friend who keeps an EOS in every purse she owns (you know who you are). And while I loved this idea, these particular cards weren’t exactly what I was looking for. They’d be great for teenagers, but not adults. So I decided to make my own template that was a bit more “mature”, but just as fun!
Supply List
- Holly Jolly Christmas card
- EOS lip balm (in red)
- scissors
- x-acto knife
Instructions
1. Print out the Holly Jolly printable, found HERE. I recommend printing it out on a sturdier paper, like cardstock, and then cut out the card.
2. Once the card is cut out, remove the “berry” of the holly. I purposefully made the berry a bit smaller than the EOSs, so don’t fret!
3. Remove your EOS from it’s packaging. In case you’re wondering, the flavor I’m using is summer fruit.
4. Take the top off of the EOS and set aside. Pop the topless EOS through the hole of the card so that the paper is resting on the edge of the EOS. The EOS should NOT go all the way through the hole.
5. Twist the top back on and you’re done! Just add your name so the lucky receiver knows who it’s from!
This is such a great stocking stuffer for friends! And the card is so cute, you don’t even have to use an EOS if you don’t want to. Just send the card as it is!
Be sure to stop by the #MerryBlogmas gifts link party and link up your most festive posts!
