Cute and Simple Card and Tag

Hello,

If you are visiting my blog for the first time...WELCOME! 

I held a workshop at a friend's house this weekend and had a great time meeting lots of new people.  A few of them were new to stamping and seemed to have a great time.  I realize that new stampers sometimes get overwhelmed by all of the wonderful products that Stampin' Up! offers and it seems like a lot to take in at once...believe me I understand!  I try to make some cards and projects with you in mind to help you do some beginner projects, that are simple and beautiful to make.

So after my daughter's school pick up a couple people mentioned that they wanted to make tags.  Do, I brainstormed Christmas tags and came up with a simple tag (to right) and a matching card (on left) that anyone can make.  You need a few basic supplies for these projects. 

Here is the recipe:

Fall Vendor Fair

Hello!

 

Today I participated in a Fall Vendor Sale.  As you can see from the above table, I took lots of stuff!  My table had no room on it when I was done setting up! lol  Overall, it was a good event.  I focused my handmade items on small gifts, cards and card sets.  The things that sold best were the gift items.  I think we are all looking for small gifts this time of year for neighbors, coworkers and other people we want to give a "little something" to.  I do have some left over, so please contact me if you would like to order any.  I will gladly calculate shipping and try to be efficient (and as cheap as possible) with shipping.

 

Here are a few of the items that I took. 

 

Mini Coffee Cups (filled with Hersheys kisses): $2.50 each ...super cute for coffee lovers or any other adults!



 

Coffee Break Gift Set: $6.00. 

 

This cute box is a Tag A Box from Stampin' Up!.  It is decorated with Stampin' Up! DSP, washi tape and ribbon and filled with 2 Krueig pods, 4 coffee cookies, and choclates. 

 

 Post It Holders with Pens: $5 (my best seller today!)

 

Notebooks with Pens :$4.  Both of these are good teacher gifts or coworker gifts.

 

Big Bow Gift Card Holder: $3

Smore Kits: $2.50.  This one got a lot of attention too.  I think everyone love a good smore!

 

Contact me to order any of these items or to learn how to make your own!

Fancy Favor Christmas Gifts

Hello Ladies,

It has been a busy, busy last few weeks for me.   I have been doing a lot of stamping and making Christmas gifts for collegues and family.  My project this week was making goody bags for the men that work for us.  I made these cute bags using the Fancy Favor Big Shot die.  I love this die!!  Isn't it pretty?!  I added the Early Expresso ribbon to the bags.  I think it really adds a masculine touch, don't you?  I was able to squeeze in some gift cards in these.  They are also perfect to fill with choclate or other small gifts. 

More holiday projects in the next few days!

Holiday Mini Catalog is Here

The Holiday Mini Catalog is finally here! I have been waiting for a month to share it with you. I start thinking about Christmas in July. It is my favorite stamping time. This mini features something new to Stampin' Up! -- fabric! I don't sew but I am planning a few no sew or minimal sew projects to make with the new fabric. Imagine fabric on cards! Take a look and let me know what you think.
