More for a Craft Fair

We had this idea in our kits for our monthly demonstrator meetings.  I am still on a quest to use up retired product and I thought the nutcrackers are really cute.  These are just a 2” X 11” paper punched with the scallop tag punch on both ends scored at 5 and 6 inches!  Leave a comment if you would like further directions!

Look at these!!!

Oct 30 and these were “crafted” in my garden!  Amazing!! And sooo deliscious!

Tic Tac Crafts

I don’t usually use up all my Christmas DSP but this year I might this year.  Santa’s Workshop DSP has so many sides it matches so many things.  I got this idea from Pootles.  I subscribe to her blog.

Men’s Birthday

Not quite finished with this swap card yet but basically I think it is a good design.  Is it something you would love to have as a swap?  I think this Winter Woods Set is a must have set - so marvellous for various cards.  

Swap Cards

First swap is done.   I have had this set for a bit and am finally getting to play with it.  I am preparing some swaps for going to Orlando (yeah!!!) for Stampin’ Up Convention.   Time for Tea makes a perfect friendship card!

More Lip Balms

I made three more of these with Night Of Navy and some retired silver paper and DSP.

“case”ing Fall Cards

Thank you to Nancy Fern for sharing this design on Pinterest!  My friend and I made a few adjustments and I have had the brilliant idea of making a few sentiments so I can put on the card whatever I need when I need it!  The Painted Harvest Stamp Set makes beautiful flowers and the new Itty Bitty Greetings allow for every sentiment needed.

Cute! Cute! Cute!

These are just the cutest little boxes and have always sold well at craft fairs.   The Santa’s Workshop DSP makes these boxes.  These boxes also hold a gift card at the top.

Colour Challenge

I like doing challenges but this one scared me a little wit the colours - not your usual Christmas colours.  I chose Teal Red, Old Olive and Bermuda Bay.  I decided to use Making Christmas Bright and was pleased with how it turned out I. The end as I thought Bermuda Bay would be hard to use but it works well as a light.

Craft Fair Balm Bomb

I got this idea from Pootles.  She has great boxes and bags on her site!   I used Santa’s Workshop Paper and some new white velvet paper which will be available to customers in November.  The snowflake trinkets and Snowfall Thinlits are awesome as well.  It is a perk as a demonstrator to be able to order these things early😊

Creative Classes

I had a display of cards around my room and I let one of my classes choose cards for their next class.  The card in the left corner was designed by Alison Solven and I cut and stamped various colours for my class to use in the Stamp-a-stack and this is the result.

Extra Cute Paper Pumpkin

Wow!  There are so many extra pieces in this month’s kit!  I have just been sitting for a bit and trying different combinations and still have many pieces left over.   

Paper Pumpkin

The kit came at noon.  I opened it and took everything out and in fifteen minutes had this card made and mailed it shortly afterward.   This is another very pretty and useful kit!

Dashing Coffee Gift Card Holders

I am using my free DSP which I earned in September.  A friend came over and helped me finish 15 of these of these today.    

Craft Fair Gift card holders

These were sure popular last year at my craft fair.  I like being able to use up current and retired DSP.  I am not sure what to put on the tops of these or if I should make a Merry Christmas one or Thanks. Latte again.  Thoughts?

Very Vintage is such a lovely stamp set!  It is a Hostess Set so can be earned with an order of $200.00.  It makes such a lovely background and these roses are so detailed!  My friend and I experimented with the various pieces and we were pleased with the final result.  It is great to have a friend to figure out cards with.

Chapstick Holders

Second item for craft fairs done!!!  These hold a chapstick.   They are easy to make and I am very happy to be using new DSP paper and ribbon as well as wearing down my retired pile.

Last of my Nugget Boxes

I decided to make two more boxes with the cute Santa’s Workshop DSP.  I needed to clean off my desk and want to start making something new.  I also did a video which you can watch by going to my Facebook page:

Craft Fair Nuggets

These are a little time consuming - cute - but then one consuming.  I still have six weeks to get ready for this craft fair.  I used some retired ribbon and DSP and the retired bow builder punch.  I am glad I didn’t sell it because I like the bows on top better than the bought ones.  I can’t bring myself to put a bow on top of that cute little snowman.  Any order of $50 this month can have the PDF for free!

Petal Palette Simple Thank You

This card took me fifteen minutes to design and make.  I am not great at designing simple cards but this set makes it easy.  There are thinlits which match the stamps but I wNted to make something simple.  I stamped the image and cut it out from a post it note.  I placed this on the left side of the card and stamped the leaves in Sea Foam.  I then stamped the flowers and sentiment.  I coloured the flowers with blends and ... voila!!!

New Stamp Pads even Grandkids can use!!!!

Just thought I’d post a picture of my excited ninja grandson who was so excited he could open my new Stampin’ Up ink pads all by himself!!!!

Night in Bethlehem

I love Dawn Griffiths work.  I saw this card and had to make it because it was so pretty.  The main images are stamped with Versemark and then sponged around with Crumb Cake. This is called Emboss Resist.   It is really pretty in this card.

Petal Palette on sale!!!!

Because Saturday is World Card Making Day Stampin Up is having a sale from October 1 to 7.   There is 10 % off many Stamp sets and other Products.  The Petal Palette is one of the sets on sale.  I made this card in fifteen minutes using the masking technique with this one stamp set.

Front of Pop Up Panel Card

This is the front of the Pop Up Panel Card we are making on Saturday!  I loved  this Night of Bethlehem Set last year and was very happy they carried it over!

Pop up Panel Card

I wanted to make another choice for Saturday’s class.  This is the inside of my Pop Up Panel Card.   I got my desk cleaned up so I could spread out and make this card.  You need a lot t of equipment and pieces to make this card!  Come and find out how on Saturday!
