Post-It Stands

A few more post-it stands for my craft shows. Stamp set is from papertreyink and the designer paper is from Michael's (sorry can't remember which paper company). Acrylic stands I found at WallyWorld for just under one dollar. Ribbon used in my projects is from a large ribbon order from JKM ribbons. These stands are very easy to do and I hope they are a good seller.

Teacher Gifts

I have a few teacher gifts today...all have been inspired/CASED from Kerry. When I'm stuck for craft show ideas I visit her blog...she has the best items.
I'm in the midst of working on craft show items. Actually my first one is tomorrow, Saturday October 8th., and of course I'm still working on a few items. lol I will be doing a total of 7 shows this holiday season. I have shows the last three Saturday's in November and the first three Saturday's in December. I will be quite busy.





I just love this stamp set from PaperTreyInk...perfect for teacher gifts.

Ghiradelli Candy Holder

These little Ghiradelli holders are so cute and everyone just loves them. Word of warning here...they are a bit time consuming to make but I always make at least a dozen at a time one step at a time. Just put some music on and they will be finished in no time at all.
I know the tutorial says to use sticky strip but I found it doesn't hold that well for this project...I always use Scotch Quick Dry Adhesive. This can be found at Michaels. I also use clips to hold it together till the glue drys.

I normally use a tan/beige cardstock but this was for a special order and the lady wanted red/green holders.
There is a great tutorial over at SCS and these are the directions that I used.
The round mouse stamp is from PaperTreyInk....love this company! I also added a little bling to the mousey nose.

Enjoy!

Snowmen Hershey Bar Wrappers

Another great item to make for a craft show are these Snowmen Hershey Bars....super quick and easy. Also a very good seller.



Kerry has a great video tutorial on how to make these cuties. She has the best ideas for craft show and definitely my "go to" blog when stuck for a craft idea.
I have my last craft show tomorrow ...Sunday the 19th and have been very busy replenishing my best sellers. I will be posting my (not really my idea) Ghiradelli holders tomorrow.
Enjoy!

Cocoa Card

Talk about a simple but cute gift or stocking stuffer!
This little card is just too cute and so easy to make up.

I adhered a packet of cocoa mix to the inside with a glue dot. The chocolate candy stick is held in place on the front of the card with just the ribbon. The patterned paper is from PTI's Christmas pack and the sentiments are also from PTI. This card would be best for a bubble mailer or inserted in someone special Christmas stocking.
I was inspired by Wendy at Moonlightstamper for this Cocoa card.
Enjoy!

I'm still here!

I'm still around in Blog land but just haven't been stamping/posting lately.
I've been busy this past month making items for a few crafts shows. These M&M sticks seem to be the latest crafty item and they do sell quite well.

I just bought some 1x8 inch bags (ultra clear lip tape) at www.gtbags.com added holiday M&M's and just added a circular topper. Now how simple and cute is that?
The nutcracker stamp is from www.waltzingmousestamps.com

Enjoy!

A Few Christmas Cards

I have a few Christmas cards to share with you all today. These were very easy to put together with Nichole's help from Papertreyink. You will need to scroll halfway down the page to see these cards. Here is the pdf file for the supplies and the directions.





Papertreyink is probably my favorite stamp company at the moment. Love Nichole's stamps, paper and inks! And the ribbon....ohhh my goodness. It is gorgeous!

More Christmas Crafts

While shopping in my local Michael's for craft show supplies I spied some hot cocoa cones up by the register for sale. I immediately had a light bulb moment....I can make these and sell at my craft show!



I bought the cone bags in the Wilton aisle...piping bags. I just did a google search for Hot Cocoa Cones...a bunch of instructions showed up. I believe I used the one from Martha Stewart. Printed a tag for instructions and used a Poinsettia eyelet from my stash of fancy eyelets.

I made up five Hot Cocoa Cones for the craft show and did not sell one...but my daughter brought them to her work and they all sold. Kinda funny what won't sell in one show and it will sell out in another.
These were fun to make and looked awesome!

Christmas Treats

Hi Everyone....I'm still here but just haven't posted in ages.

I did a craft show last Saturday and did somewhat ok. What was leftover my DD brought to her work and has sold quite a bit of Christmas items. Yeah!
I have had these store bought coffee cups/lids in my stash for ages and knew I wanted to make something for the craft show. This was the last item I made and sold out.



I put a packet of either hot cocoa or Oregon Chai tea and two gingerbread biscotti in each cup and decorated.
I used a retired SU! stamp set (Thanks a Latte) and colored with my watercolor crayons. The ribbon is SU! also. Went to my local coffee shop and asked for a hot cup sleeve. I then used this to make the red cup sleeve for my cocoa/tea cup. I even scored the sides...cute, cute, cute.
Wrapped in some cellophane and tied up with red ribbon...already for gift giving.
Love the way these turned out. Enjoy!
