I Stamped That!

I’m doing my one and only Billerica Farmer’s Market tomorrow afternoon on the common in Billerica Center tomorrow.  It goes from 3:00 – 7:00 (although I think they start packing up at 6:30 this late in the season).  Stop by if you can!

I did a lot of the markets last year, but this is my only one this year.  I had school on Monday nights this summer and was not able to do them. I’ll be there more next year though, school is almost done!

These cute little lollipop holders were the idea of one of my downline members, Karen.  She does some great work and I had to thank her for letting me CASE her!  I’ll be selling these tomorrow at the market.

I just made a box to fit the pop and decorated it. Easy and cute! These boxes for the Blow Pops measure 2 x 8 (you’ll get 5 out of one 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of cardstock!). Score at 1 1/2  -  3 3/4  - 5 1/4 – 7 3/4.  Use a hole punch for the top.  Different lollipops are different sizes so this might not work for a Tootsie pop.  The pop must sit on the bottom of the box in order for it to stand up. Decorate it as you like, not just for Halloween. These would make a great birthday party favor. Kids love them!

I think I should put the bow down a little more to cover the wrapper.  I’m just too lazy to go and take another picture!

Enjoy!

My new light box came today!  It’s HUGE!!!!!!  Bigger than my home made one!  But I’m so happy with how the pictures came out.

Now you can really see my mistakes! I actually just noticed that the box with the Witches feet is damaged, but I didn’t take a single picture of it.  I’ll have to give that one to my daughter, she won’t notice

These are little Halloween Treat bags.  They are actually the 2 – 4 – 6 – 8 boxes (here’s a tutorial). The easiest style is the one with the small binder clip on it.  You can actually reuse that one. The other ones are stapled shut.

What do you think of my new light box??

This is the card we will be making with Halloween picture on Friday, October 6th.  It’s retired paper, but I don’t much like the Halloween paper in the mini this year.

I know I haven’t posted for a while.  This week was my travel week and I also had a paper due for school. Now I’m done school until Sept 6th so no work there, but we are also heading to Disney on Wed!!!  I’ll try to have some stuff in the “post queue”.

This is a shadow box for Halloween I did today.  I used the new Googly Ghouls set from the mini  I actually used every stamp in the set for this one (plus another tree stamp I had laying around).  I just love Halloween!

Had an Open Stamp class last night. Started working on a Halloween Banner. Of course, what the girls saw last night is totally different of what the final product is!!!  This was made with 4 x 4 coasters.  My daughter wants to hang it up already!

I saw a Halloween Banner on this site thru Paper Punch Addition.

I thought it was so cute so I had to copy it! I’m going to use this for a decoration in my upcoming craft shows.

The banner is made with the Perfect Pennant Bigz L die. To get the matted colors,  just use the Perfect Pennant big triangle and  o cut off 1/4″ of one of the long sides.

The ghosts are punched from the Owl punch and so is the vampire.

He was a little tricky. But he’s all Owl punch pieces pieced together. His mouth is from Make a Monster.

The Tombstone is the small tag punch. I made the grass from a scrap of Old Olive cut with scissors.

The pumpkin is just 3 ovals glued together.

I’ve been in my stamp room for over 3 hours tonight trying to think up the last card for tomorrow nights class.  After 3 ugly cards, I went to Stampin’ Pretty and was inspired by this card. I try to think up cards myself, but I need inspiration.

This is the third project for tomorrow night. Talk about last minute!!!

Ok, two posts tonight!

These are the cutest, easiest things to make. The hardest part is getting the 5″ x 8″ note pads cut correctly at my local office supply store!  What an ordeal THAT was!  You want buy a package of 12 of the 5 x 8 small note pads. Have have them make 2 cuts to make 2 – 8″ x 2″ pads like these below. Make sure they cut from the right side so you don’t end up with the red line down the front.  They should charge you about $2.00 per through a stack of them.

One other issue I had with the office supply place is that they told me “my” pads had staples in them and it broke the blade. The pads were “their” pads I purchased from them! Couldn’t they see the staples???? NO! What a fiasco that was. Time to change where I get my pads cut!!!

Let’s just look at these cute things! I put magnets on the back so they can be put on the fridge. Great craft fair items!!!

Look for these in an upcoming class in September as well!
