We made this last year, so I’m bringing it back because it’s so dang cute!

More Craft Fair Goodies

I have my last craft fair of the season this Saturday at Lexington High School in Lexington Mass. I wanted to add a few more things to what I already have.

These are those wooden bags you can find at your local craft store with paper glued on to them. I stuffed them with my left over Halloween candy! Great way to get rid of it! I used my retired Christmas paper as well.

Mini Hershey Bar Holders

One of my customers Kerry, made the reindeer & penguin holders at a craft show I did with her. I saw the Grinch on another blog and I made up the Santa. You put little Hershey bars in these. Tonight I cut and punched all the pieces to make 100 of them! 20 of each. I have two more craft shows and I hope they go fast!

It’s Beginning To Look A Lot Like Christmas….

Literally!!!!! We live in Massachusetts and if you’ve been watching the news, you heard we had a wicked bad snow storm. 70% of my town was without power. Now, it’s down to 50%. They postponed trick or treating until Friday (some towns cancelled it totally!).It’s totally nuts!!!! In my 40-plus years of Halloweens, I NEVER remember snow on the ground!

I made about 5 cards tonight that I just didn’t like. You never see the bad ones, I only post the good ones. I really like the way this one came out. I used Baja Breeze and Not Quite Navy. This will be the project for the November 25th class.

This is the inside of it.

Snow Much Fun

I had so much fun last night in my stamp room!!! Here is a card we will be doing in an upcoming class. We will be making 4 of these for $10.00!!!! Check out my workshops page to see when it is. Class size is limited so sign up early. This card was inspired by the card that is shown in the Idea Book and Catalog. I used the new Incolor, Island Indigo.

Penguin Christmas!

Saw a card with a penguin on it and thought it would make a cute Christmas card. I used the owl punch to make the penguins!!!

So cute!!!!

Punches used:

Owl

5 Petal

Heart To Heart

Itty Bitty Shapes

Santa & Snowman

One of my friends is a Daisy Troop leader and asked me for a project she could do with 11 five year olds. I don’t dare let most 5 year olds near my ink pads so I thought a punch project would work. I punched out all the pieces for the kiddies to make the Santa & Snowman and I told her she could just put them on a lolly pop. They came out so cute!!! I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity to do something for adults to do with them so I dug out some band aid tins and put some DSP on them with a little ribbon and here ya go! These make great gift card holders or candy holders for the holidays.

Cute Candy Dish

A few weeks ago I went to a craft fair and bought a really cute candy dish made by a very talented paper crafter. But, the paper wasn’t SU so I had to make one that was! This is actually an explosion box held together at the top with a key chain ring. I love the way it came out. You really can’t go wrong using SU DSP!

Supplies:

Paper: Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, DSP Jolly Holiday

Stamp sets: Tags Till Christmas

Owl punch

Mitten Christmas Card

As promised, here’s the last card we will be doing next Thursday night. I found it on Inking Idaho’s site. She’s listed in my blog roll. I just thought it was so adorable. Although I might change the second layer from Baja Breeze to Whisper White. I’ll try it and let you see how it is.
