Craft Fair Items

I had a great time at two different local craft fairs in the last month.  I love meeting new people especially when the subject is Stampin' Up!  Talking about stamping for 7 hours is a favorite for me!  My mom and I made over 400 items to sell at these two different craft fairs and I wanted to share a few with you.

Here is a cute idea for a gift card holder.  The Santa is made with Stampin' Up! punches and is SO cute!

 
 

When you untie the ribbon this is what you will find inside.  The gift card slides in the pocket made with the Top Note Die.

 
 

These gum holder wraps are SO much fun to make.  It was so much fun...I made three different designs.  Here is one for you.

 
 

When you pull up on the ribbon at the top the gum slides out.

 

I was really into the punch art this year. Here is another idea of a gum holder but with a different type of packaging.  Isn't he sooo cute?!?!

 

I hope you enjoyed seeing a few of the craft fair items.  If you came and visited me during one of the shows, thank you!  I always have a great time...kind of sad they are done for the season.

Stay warm...and safe on the roads.  Better yet...stay inside and STAMP!!!

Gift Card Holder

This is one of the projects the card makers made at Donna's workshop on Saturday.  Donna wanted to use the In Colors and I was HAPPY too!

This is the front of the gift card holder.  The Bermuda Bay piece is embossed with the Finial Press Embossing Folder.  I just LOVE these embossing folders!  The stamp set used is Razzle Dazzle.  It is inked using sponge daubers and ink...I love the softness it gives!  I then added glitter to the image.

The "For You" is from the Great Friend Stamp Set and punched out using the NEW Modern Label punch...I have used this punch a lot.  I think it is my NEW favorite.  It is tied together using the Crushed Curry Polka Dot Grosgrain Ribbon.

This is the inside...

 

Isn't it just the coolest idea?  My sister had made one at Kimberly Van Diepen's club meeting last December and I thought it would be perfect to do sometime at a workshop.  The opening for the gift card is made with the Word Window Punch and the 3/4" Circle Punch.  I added a couple of Mini Glue Dots to hold the sides together so the gift card wouldn't fall out  Yes, I earned this gift card a while ago from Stampin' Up! through their Great Rewards Program when you are a demonstrator.  You have to love free stuff!!

The dimensions are as follows:

Crushed Curry cardstock 4 ¼ x 11

          - Score at 2 ¾, 5 ½, 8 ¼ 

Kraft cardstock 4 ¾ x 6

Bermuda Bay cardstock 2 ¾ x 4 ½

 

This is a great idea as the Holidays are coming up on us faster than we'd like :)  Call me today to host your own private workshop with your friends and I'd be happy to demonstrate one of these cards!  We could even use a Holiday set to fit the season!
