Craft Show/Fair Ideas #1

Tea Bag Holders.

These little Tea Bag holders are a cute and inexpensive idea for your Craft Show/Fair.  They can be customized for any Holiday or just Every Day designs.

I believe I am going to sell them for $1.50.

 This is not nessecary but does help when mass produceing.

I am using the Hampton Art Stamp Perfect Tool.
 I used the Stamp set Fresh Fruit and ink in the colors Pear Pizzazz and Calypso Coral.
 

  I cut a piece of Heavy Weight White card stock at 3 1/2 wide by 10 1/2 long and scored at 3 1/2 and 7 inches.

I also put the paper in my trimmer after I scored and cut a triangle out.
 I used a circle and scallop circle die to cut out some Calypso Coral card stock and more Heavy Weight White card stock.

I stamped using a stamp set from Cardz TV.
 I again cut out some matching Pear Pizzazz card stock with the same stamped image circle die.
 I stamped a cordinating sentiment in Early Espresso ink.

I also found some pattern paper that I cut 3 1/2 inches wide by 1 3/4 inches tall.

I adhered the paper with regular tape runner and a then double sided tape over the line.

 A close up.
I flipped it over and added some more of the thin double sided tap on the back of the stamped triangle.
 Remove the liner and fold it over matching the ends of the paper to create a nice edge.
 I cut 17 inches of ribbon that matched my paper and stamped image.

I used up two full roles of ribbon which is pretty cool since that ribbon has proably been in my stash for at least 5 yes 5 or more years.
 I lined up the ribbon on my grid mat and placed the tea holder cover at 8 1/2 inches, removed the backing and placed the ribbon over.

I also added four foam dimensionals as well.
 Place the peach embellishment on front.
 Turn over and line up the ribbon, I added tape runner adhesive to the top and bottom of the back embellishment and added it to the back.
 I found the tea bag fit nicely going side ways.
Tie in a simple know and bow and VIOLA all done.

Assembly is the quickest but just trying to find what you want to cover takes the longest.

Back to School card for my Monsters

I recently saw a You Tube video of a Back to School card and it had fun stars and said Hooray on it and I wanted to CASE it, I changed up the colors to more girly tones and used embellishments from my stash.

 I started out with a Whisper White card mat sized 5 by 3 3/4, I stamped in Rich Razzleberry three times from the stamp set Watercolor Words.
 This is the inside were I stamped off the bottom to allow me to write some encouraging thought to my Monsters.
 I next stamped two Melon Mambo stars.
Again on the inside as well.
 Finally I stamped Wisteria Wonder two times as well.

You can stamp in a straight line, curve down, or curve up.  Its up to you.
 And again on the inside.
Scratch paper is a must in the crafting area, I use cheap printer/copier paper.
 I used my Hampton Art Stamp Perfect Tool to stamp the hooray three times in Versa Fine Black Onyx ink.

I also used my anti static powder tool first before stamping.

I then heat embossed in clear powder, right after melting the first coat I added a second right away while the powder was still wet.
Using a scrap piece of Whisper White I stamped the Labeler Alphabet in the same Versa Fine Black Onyx ink.
Finished Card

 I added some star sequins from Studio Calico with some tiny glue dots and then added a small clear gem where the hole of the sequin is.

See that awsome shine from the two coats of clear embossing powder, LOVE IT.
 This is not a traditional card its a 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 piece of Rich Razzleberry cardstock that on one side is the Melon Mambo mat that is 4 by 5 1/4, and the front mat taped to it.

On the back is the techniqually "inside of the card"
Close up of the card.

Our December Story 2015, Day 12

I finished Teacher Back to School gifts so I thought I would work on a Day in Our December Story.

I like to look threw to see what interests me and I decided to go with Day 12 of Our December Story from 2015.

I have a Video on You Tube with the finished Layout, CLICK HERE to see.

 I am not sure where this Project Life 3X4 card came from but I liked it because it has houses on it and a little bit of sparkle from their windows.

I added some Cherry Cobbler card stock and Black foam alphas to cover the small blue banner.
 I know this is a Stampin Up card, I rounded the corners and added some Clear Wink of Stella glitter pen to the blue snow flake images.

These two card next to each other I believe compliment the story of the day.

The girl scouts collecting food bags for the needy.
 I am adding some Cosmo Cricket Alpha word phrase stickers to compliment the photos.
I decided to add some ephemera pieces from my stash.
 We also went to the Micheal's craft after collecting the food and made pearler bead Santa belts.

I added some glitter and gold to spell out Santas belt and also a Santa face sticker.
This was a double demensional Santa hat, I took of the bottom layer.
All done, the way I placed the photos some of day 11 is next to/attached to day 12.

This is an add on part to Day 19 of Our December Story 2015.

I used Design I because its a simple addition of just something extra we did that day.

I have a Video of the completed layout on my You Tube Chanel, CLICK HERE to see it.

 I am using one sheet of a 6X6 paper pad more most of the pattern paper, the blue with white snowflakes.

I am using some thin black and brown alpha stickers, the brown still look alot like black.

Some fun different snow flake embellishments.
 All done, this is Alexis finished snow flake.

I made the pattern into a banner.

Finished card.
 Close up.
 I did the same with Alivias snow flake picture just using a different snow flake embellishment.

All the photos are 4X4 for this design.


 Finished card.
 The black with blue snow flake pattern is an old Stampin Up card.

I rounded the corners and added some silver thread behind a 2 1/2 inch circle punch.

 Attaching the thread with some adhesive and then using dimensional's on the back of the circle.
Finished card that just says " Micheals Craft ".
 I tried to stay with a snowflake theme because this was a snowflake wooden craft.
 Brought in some more silver thread and more word phrase stickers.
