The most wonderful time of the year!

Even though all of my craft fairs have been cancel because of COVID, I still had fun creating the following items to give as gifts for family and friends.  The first picture is the new Coffee Cups and Carriers in the Holiday Catalog, and they make really cute teacher gifts too.  Some of the crafts were made using old Stampin' Up! dies and products, but if you have any questions on anything you see leave a comment or send me an e-mail.  

Coffee cups covered with designer series paper.  Include one K Cup, sugar packets and creamer.  The bag, also in the new holiday catalog, includes 9 Lindt Truffles.

Candle with Book Mark.  

Hand lotion.

Lip Balm

Gingerbread House - from last year's catalog.  Filled with candy

Bath & Body Works Hand Soap.  Tags are from last year's Paper Pumpkin kit.

Craft Fair Hand Soaps

I'm getting products ready for my spring craft fairs, and while I am doing mostly Easter themed items, I also wrapped up these Bath and Body Works Foaming Hand Soaps.  They make nice gifts for teachers, co-workers, birthdays and Mother's Day.

I used the Banner Triple Punch to create my tag, and tied it around the soap with coordinating ribbon.  The cellophane bags are not a Stampin' Up! product.  

I used a stamp from the hostess set Time For Tags to create the sentiment on the tag.  

Pillow Box Christmas Treat

If you don't have a lot of time to prepare small holiday gifts, you can use the Kraft Pillow Boxes that Stampin' Up! carries in the annual catalog.  I filled these with holiday candy, added a strand of leaf ribbon, and tied the box closed with Real Real Ruched Ribbon from the Holiday Catalog.

I added my sentiment, and punched it out with the Pretty Label Punch and tied it onto my red ribbon with some Linen Thread.  

These went together really quickly and are nice for co-workers, teachers, and small gifts for friends.

Craft fair set up!

I’ve been so busy getting ready for my Fall craft fairs that I haven’t posted in awhile. Here are some pictures of my mock set up.

When I am finished, all of the items will be placed, and the products will be displayed higher in their baskets, but this gives me a way to know if everything will fit, and how to display it.

If you see something you would like to know how to make, please just leave a comment below or send me an e-mail and I would be happy to help.

Once these events are over I will have more time for posting cards and other projects.  

Snowfall Accents Puff Paint

The Snowfall Accents Puff Paint adds so much texture to your project and is easy to use.  You can watch the video below, made by Stampin' Up! to see how it works.  I used it to decorate Wood Chip Ornaments that are pictured below the video, and you can see that is really does "Puff" up when heated.

To make the ornaments, I stamped my images using Staz-On Ink, and then colored them with my Stampin' Write Markers.  I added the Puff Paint and used my Heat Tool to make it puff up.  So easy to use, and I really like the texture they add to the ornaments.

Wood Chip Ornaments

I have been making Wood Chip Ornaments for gifts and also for craft fairs, and they are really easy to make,

I purchased the wood chips already cut, and using Staz-On Ink and my Stampin' Up! stamp sets I was able to create the ornaments in no time.  I just added additional ribbon, and for some used jingle bells and pine cone trinkets to add a little extra embellishment.    

The new Stampin' Up! Shimmery Crystal Effects and Ice Stampin' Glitter added shine to my house ornament, and I will be trying the Snowfall Accents Puff Paint on the new ones I will be making.

Mini Curvy Keepsake Box

One of my favorite things in the Holiday Catalog is the Mini Curvy Keepsake Box Die.  It coordinates with the tiny Keepsakes Stamp Set and you can purchase them together in a bundle to save 10%.

I do a lot of fall craft fairs and when I saw this die I knew it would make cute holiday favors.  Since it is small, you only need one cut on a 6 x 6 piece of paper and your box is ready to be assembled.   No adhesive needed to put it together.  Just fill with your favorite treat, add a tag and you are done.

I put one Lindor Chocolate Truffle in each box and I was able to cut out 108 of them in less than an hour.

The following were used:

Ride With Me

The Ride With Me Bundle, includes the Ride With Me Stamp Set, and  coordinating Truck Ride Dies.  They are in the Annual Catalog, but since I am in the process of creating items for my holiday craft fairs, I knew I wanted to try them.  I made several different colors of trucks, but in all of them I added a small bag of candy corn, and since the bed of the truck is small and you can't add a lot of candy, I added three wrapped Hershey Miniatures to the bottom to make a nice base for the truck to sit on, and to add some nice extra treats.

There are cute stamps in the set that would make nice birthday and christmas cards and treats as well.

To make the front of the coffin box a little cuter I embossed it with the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder.  All of these products will be available soon on September 4th.
