Over the Moon moon pie envelope box.

Welcome to my blog. Hope you had a great weekend.
As I’ve said I’ve been working on craft fair projects. I’ve been looking for something for Moon Pies cause I thought these would go great with the Over the Moon stamp set. I remembered seeing holders made out of envelopes and low and behold one showed up on Pinterest last week. The complete directions can be found on sarahsinkspot.com . Here are a couple of things to be mindful about when making this. First after you score stamp on the envelope above the score line(personal experience had to toss several). Also when you open it up don’t use bone folder to push it open(it rips). I used a scrap of 2x6 inch piece of paper for the craft envelope flap. Be sure to glue to the front not the inside.Have fun making them. They’re great treat holders.

If you’ve thought of being a demonstrator there are few days left for this great offer. You can join on my website.

Simple treat holders for craft fairs using DSP.

Welcome to my blog. I have a craft fair Labor Day weekend. Been working on projects for the craft fair. Since it’s close to school starting and the only one before Halloween I decided to do some Halloween projects as well. Since it will be hot I decided not to do any chocolate this year.
1. Gummy crayola holder. Found these at a local market. I found this holder on line and tweaked it.
DSP 9-3/4 x 3 score@ 1-3/4 and 6.

Fold and staple the packages inside ( I used 2). Close and tie shut with ribbon.

With the pretty label punch I made a label using Whisper White cardstock. The sentiment is from the upcoming stamp set Birds of a Feather in the Holiday catalog. Glued this to the top.

2. Carmel Apple Pop holder.

I got the inspiration from stampinscraper but changed the measurements.
DSP 2-1/2 x 6-1/4   Fold in half. Punch a hole on this line for the sucker stick to fit through.
Put in sucker and close. I glued the top together using score tape.

Using cat punch punch out cat in Black cardstock. Glue to front and put a ribbon on the stick.
Thanks for stopping by. Happy crafting.

Come Sail Away DSP pencil holder

 Welcome to my blog. Had fun at the agility trial even though it was very hot. Learned more about my trailer and with help from you tube how to properly work the air conditioner. It was so hot I had my 2 dogs and my friends 3 in the trailer ( us too!). Today I worked on pencil holders for upcoming craft fairs. I found this on you tube awhile ago but can’t remember who posted it.

Materials and Directions for the pencil holder:
1. The original directions used cardstock that had been stamped on. I used Come Sail Away DSP cut@ 10-3/4 x 1-1/2. You can get 8 from a 12 x 12 piece of paper.
Score @ 6, 6-1/4  then fold

2. I used some score tape inside to hold the pencils. Then I tied with ribbon(12 inches)

Happy Crafting. You can buy supplies from my website.

Over the Moon treat bags/ Paper Pumpkin

Welcome to my blog. Been busy getting ready to go camping this weeks. Well really it’s an Agility trial that we’re (my dogs and I) are going to camp over night at. The trial is in the evening when it’s cooler and I don’t like driving in the dark so we’re camping overnight.
I did have time to make some treat bags for upcoming craft fairs. I found these Cow Tails candies that I thought would go well with Over the Moon stamp set in the Annual catalog. I came up with this:

Materials and Directions:
I used a treat bag die I have to make the bags out of cardstock. Stampin Up has some you can buy that are copper dotted. I used the Magnolia Lane DSP to make a border on the bottom.

Paper Pumpkin:
You have till August 10th, to order the next Paper Pumpkin Kit. Also there is an add on kit you can get while supplies last. The add on kit is a card kit to use with the Paper Pumpkin Kit.

Piece of Cake Pocket Card

Welcome to my blog. This card we’ll be making in my next class. I got the idea from Karen Titus from stamping on my back porch.It can also hold a gift card or money. Piece of Cake is a returning stamp and punch available in the Annual catalog.

Materials and Directions :
1.Card base is a piece of colored cardstock 8-1/2 x 5-1/4 score @ 2,and @ 5-3/4 fold and glue the seams.
2. Pull out piece- cardstock 6-1/4 x 3-1/2 score@ 1-1/2 round the corners. On the flap I used a piece of DSP 3-1/4 x 1-1/4. Round the corners and glue to the cardstock. Cut a piece of Whisper White cardstock 4-1/2 x3-1/4. Glue this to the cardstock. Decorate how you want and add a sentiment you want.
3. Front decoration- I used layering oval dies . The smaller in Whisper White stamp and color the image. I used dimensionals to layer on top of the colored oval. Then I used dimensionals to pop up the whole thing. It also keeps the flap down.
If you have time I encourage you to take some of Karen Titus’s classes (stamping on the back porch) .
She teaches different skills in a fun and informative way.
Happy Crafting!
