Dec 15, 2017 | Christmas, Craft Fair Projects |
Today two projects are being shared. Both of the designs were shared by other demonstrators on their sites and I thought the items would be great for the holiday bazaar.
The first was from a post by Connie Stewart and is a fingernail file cover. The file cover was very quick to make and the 20 that were made for the bazaar sold out in just a matter of minutes. I promoted them as stocking stuffers but one lady purchased several to include in cards she was sending to friends – what a great idea!

The second project is from Marisa Alvarez. I had purchased several packages of pencils from the dollar store for use in another project but spied her use of the Many Mittens Framelits Dies to embellish a pencil package and decided to make a few for the dollar section in my booth. Best thing is you can use scraps of cardstock for much of this project.

You can find a list of project materials listed at the end of this post. Several items such as some ribbons and the 1″ cello bags (used for the pencil packaging) are retired but you can easily find substitutions.
Thanks for stopping by and check back tomorrow for another project from the bazaar.

Dec 14, 2017 | Craft Fair Projects, Gift Bag Punch Board, Gift Bags |
As promised, here is craft fair project # 3. It’s Foil Frenzy Specialty Designer Series Paper (DSP) meets Gift Bag Punch Board!
I decided to purchase some of the Bath and Body Kitchen Liquid Hand Soaps and make gift bags to package them as “Grab and Go” gifts. The packages are great for Hostess gifts to have available when needed. A tag was added with extra gold cord so that it could be removed, signed on the back and easily replaced on gift with shortened cord closer to the ribbon tie closure. A handheld punch was used to punch a small hole in the top of the tag but you could just use Stampin’ Dimensionals to attach the tag under the ribbon bow, if desired. With the Foil Frenzy DSP, the gifts are appropriate to use not just for the holidays but for any occasion.

To make the bag, cut one inch from one side of the DSP so the piece will measure 11″ x 12″. Follow directions for using Gift Bag Punch Board to make a large bag. The 11″ side is the height of the finished bag. Note: it requires more force to punch the Foil Frenzy DSP and the dotted DSP pages seemed easier to punch than the striped DSP pages so don’t be alarmed that if it requires your brute force! It’s worth it as the bags are beautiful.
Tags were cut using the Lots of Label Framelit Dies and the Layering Oval Framelits. The sentiment from Merry Little Labels was stamped in coordinating ink (in the samples shown, Berry Burst Classic Stampin’ Pad was used). The stamped oval was layered on a Foil Snowflake prior to attaching to the large label.

Dec 13, 2017 | 3-D, Christmas, Craft Fair Projects, Envelope Punch Board |
Here is project number two from the Holiday Bazaar as detailed in my last post…Holiday Treat Poppers containing 2 Ferrero Roche candies. Another great table favor, stocking stuffer or small thank you treat to handout!
Holiday Treat Poppers using Stampin’ Up! Be Merry Designer Series Paper, Envelope Punch Board & Labels to Love Stamp Set with Everyday Label Punch
I
The poppers were easy to make using a 6″ x 6″ square of Be Merry Designer Series Paper (DSP) and the envelope punch board. After punching and assembling the poppers, the ends were tied with ribbon. The green ribbon has been discontinued but the Cherry Cobbler 1/4″ Double-Stitched Ribbon is current. Garden Green cardstock was cut using the Pretty Pines Thinlits Dies to embellish some of the treat poppers. On some of the poppers, Real Red cardstock was cut using the Everyday Label Punch and snipped in half before adhering to the back of the stamped sentiment label to create a border. The poppers are the perfect size for holding a few treats for the holidays.

Dec 11, 2017 | Cellophane Bags, Christmas, Craft Fair Projects |
Hi All! the countdown continues until Christmas. This past weekend, I participated in a Christmas Bazaar and on Instagram posted the following photo:

What will this become? |
As promised in the post, here’s the outcome – Santa Kisses!

| Santa Kisses using Stampin’ Up! Cookie Cutter Christmas Stamp Set & Punch |
The Santa Kisses were a popular item and so easy to prepare the packaging. The Santa from the Stampin’ Up! Cookie Cutter Christmas set was stamped onto Whisper White card stock and punched using the coordinating Cookie Cutter Builder Punch. Stampin’ Write Markers in Real Red, Basic Black, Smoky Slate, Daffodil Delight and Blushing Bride were used to color Santa. It doesn’t show in the photograph, but the fur along Santa’s hat and suit were highlighted with clear Wink of Stella. The tag was stamped in Memento Tuxedo Black ink using the sentiment from Oh, What Fun stamp set. Since I have a stockpile of retired 4″ x 6″ cellophane bags, I used them but the 3″ x 6″ Gusseted Cellophane Bags would work great. I folded down approximately one inch of the bag and added a tag topper cut from the Be Merry Christmas Designer Series Paper. A couple of staples along the bottom edge of the paper sealed both the cello bag and the topper.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy treat holder for table favors or stocking stuffers, these are perfect!
