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!

Craft Fair Series Chocolate Nugget Treat Holders

One of my biggest sellers during Craft Fair Season are my Nugget Treats.  I make three different versions; one that is generic. One that is Thanksgiving theme, and the other Christmas theme.   The treats make great gifts for co-workers, family, friends, hair stylist, you name it.  

The card stock holder is cut 2 x 5 and scored on the long edge at 1/4" on both sides.  The chocolate is wrapped with a 1 x 3 inch piece of Designer Series Paper.  I use the Everyday Label Punch and either the 1 1/2 inch circle punch or my retired oval punch.  Bags are purchased from Amazon with an item number of X001RP994V and measure 2 x 12, which I cut down to size once packaged. Adding my grandmothers ribbon adds a special touch.  I embellish the Christmas tags with a pearl.  The stamp set I use for Christmas theme is Itty Bitty Christmas.  Thanksgiving and generic packages are embellished with fun greetings.

I always add my personal information on a label created at avery.com.  There are so many templates to select from and it's a free service the site offers. When you are mass assembling, you need to be super organized.  Here is a picture showing you how I line up the chocolate and paper.

I hope you give this a try.  You can follow along by clicking on the video link here.
