Stampin' Up! Gift Card Holders Galore!

With more and more people giving gift cards these days, I thought I would make a few holders and provide some samples along with a video providing step by step instructions.  This style is really easy to reproduce and I'm sure you can whip up a few today.

Dimensions of Paper:
Card stock is 4 1/4 x 6 1/2, scored on the long side at 1 1/4 and 4 1/4
Designer Series Paper cut 4 x 2 and 4 x 1.  You will also need a piece cut 1 x 7 for the belly band.
Whisper White for the Story Label punch and 2" circle punch.
Scrap of coordinating card stock for the starburst circle.

With a piece of 8 1/2 x 11 card stock, you can make two gift card holders.

If you want to follow along with step by step instructions, click here to head over to my video.

All punches that I used are highly recommended for mass production; Starburst Circle, 2" Circle, and Story Label Punch.

Craft Fair Series Episode 12 Stocking Stuffers for Dogs!

We can't forget our best friend, right?  Here's a great idea for your craft fair or to make as a gift.

Buy a box of dog treats, I purchased mine this past summer summer when they were on sale to save a few extra dollars.

I took a clear envelope and added five Grain-Free, peanut butter flavored bones to it and then sealed shut.

A simple tag topper will do.  Mine is cut 4 3/4 x 3, scored along the long side at 3".  Fold in half.  Add some pretty paper, which is cut 4 1/2 x 1 1/4 and staple to the top of the bag.  Write the expiration date on the backside so you will know when the treats expire.

Stamp a cute sentiment from the Happy Trails stamp set onto Whisper White card stock.  I used Early Espresso ink to coordinate with the color of the dog.

Add a starburst circle which was punched out from the Noble Peacock Specialty Paper and then adhere together.  Add to the topper.

Stamp the dog onto Soft Suede card stock using Early Espresso ink.  Punch out with the Dog Builder punch.  Add a red glimmer heart to the front of the dog adhering with a glue dot.

And there you have it; a cute gift for your forever friend.  "Keep calm and wag on."

Craft Fair Series Emery Board Holder

Here is another idea for your next craft fair.  I came up with a holder that you can make too.  It's super easy, takes little supplies, but makes your product well displayed.

Here are the measurements for the holder;

Mossy Meadow card stock for the base cut 1 3/4 by 11, and then scored at 4 1/2

Magnolia Lane Designer Series Paper cut 1 1/2 x 12, then cut into three pieces measuring 4 1/4, 6, and final piece 1 3/4

Adhere the strips of Designer Series paper onto the base.

Add a strong adhesive along the bottom sides and fold up.

I used the Daisy Lane stamp set, medium daisy punch and Classic Label punch to make a cute embellishment on the front.

Carefully side the emery board, which I purchased from the Dollar Tree, into the holder.

Package into a clear cello bag to keep clean and for a nice packaging display.  Bags where purchased on Amazon, Bakery Bags, with an Item # of  X001G3LEND.

Stampin' Up! Trimmer Available on November 1st!

It's what you have been waiting for.  A new blade. A new scoring tool.  A new trimmer!

As a Demonstrator, I have been using the new trimmer for about three weeks now.  Although there was a small learning curve with the bar, the trimmer has many different features that I know you will enjoy using.

• The trimmer is lightweight, portable, and perfect for making stable and straight cuts.
• There are imperial and metric measurements.
• Ruler and grid protected by durable plastic cover.
• Point on cutting handle for precise measuring.
• Right-sided grid for cutting thin strips.  
• There is an opening at the top so you can hand on your wall using a hook.
• The extension arm extends just longer than 17"
• Cutting 6" paper is now super easy as there is a small lip on the left side so lining up your paper is super easy.

The trimmer comes with one cutting blade and one scoring blade.  Additional blades will be available for purchase coming in January of 2020.

Trimmer Item # is 152392 and sells for $25.

I hope you head over to my online store and get your order in early.  The trimmer will be a hot seller!
