CRAFT FAIR MAKE AND TAKE!

December 2, 2015December 2, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Now that I have shared a lot of the projects that I have made for the markets and Fairs I thought I would show you the Make and Take I had at the last Craft Fair event. It had to be quick and I hope impressive?? I made a quick tag. Of course with the very beautiful set ‘Wonderland’.

This tag was inspired by one from my friend Vanessa. Simply stamp the trees in Garden Green on a piece of White cardstock and stamp again to stamp a fainter impression. Tear a piece of the Winter Wonderland Vellum Stack to adhere at the bottom. Punch out a small star with the Gold Foil and add a Rhinestone. At the top punch with the Scallop Tag Topper Punch and tie off some Garden Green Striped ribbon.

It was a simple one for even those who had never stamped before and they loved it. I don’t think you can make a bad project with this set really. Can you??

Did you realise that this set will not be available after January 4th?? You better grab it now. Don’t regret it. Now how many times have you debated about a stamp set and then after it is gone you realised you REALLY SHOULD HAVE BOUGHT IT!!!! Don’t regret this one.

Order it at my Online Store NOW! Head HERE. Please use the Host Code: DRVPX7DB

Now before I leave you I thought I would show you my display at the last Fair. We were all squashed in but that was OK right?? This set up was similar to most of the events I have done recently.

A close up of the shelves with the boxes and other of the gifts. The Easel Calendars were on the shelf above which you can’t see.

Thanks for stopping by. See you again soon,

FAIR PROJECTS UPDATE – PART 2!!

November 28, 2015November 28, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Did you catch the last post about some cute projects I shared from my fairs last week?? If you didn’t then you can click on the link just above “Fair Projects Update”. First though, read up on some more projects I have to share.

These Easel Calendars were very popular at all 3 events which was interesting. There are a number of different tutorials on Pinterest to make your own which is where I found instructions to make these. They are very easy to make.

Here they are.

Here are some Magnet Calendars I made also.

I used up lots of retired papers again. They were all different and very easy to make.

Now for some Gift Card Holders. The tutorial for these can be found HERE. I kept mine fairly simple.

The Wine Bottle Tags I made I have already shared. If you missed them you can find them in this post HERE but I will show you the photos below. They were very popular too. They are a nice way to dress up a bottle of wine.

I have shared a number of posts for Fair Projects over the time and they have been very popular posts. If you missed out on these posts then click on the links below.

FAIR PROJECTS UPDATE!!

November 26, 2015November 26, 2015 Jenny Hayward

Last week was a very busy week. I had 3 markets/fair events. It was great seeing some familiar faces and meeting up with new people. I thought I would share some of the projects I made for the markets. Having 3 in the week was interesting also to see just how different things sold. So I will let you know about that too.

A little while ago I picked up some lip balm balls and sticks reduced at a local store so I grabbed those to make some cute holders for them.

The tutorial to make your own Lip Balm Boxes can be found HERE. They are so quick to make.

Here are some tiny Lip Balm Purses. Both of these created some interest.

Here is a close-up from the side. (sorry I realised I hadn’t met the tops together neatly before I took the photo!)

These are cute little purses. It was great to use up some retired papers too. You can make your own from the tutorial HERE.

Now I made these fun little packs too. There is a cute poem on the back of them and I forgot to take a photo of these. I will add them below.

The Reindeer Poop was very popular at one event at a school. It appealed to some boys sense of humour, or was it that there was no other chocolate sold there at the time?? 😉 I made some more bags up but then I didn’t sell one bag at that craft fair. You never know!

Here are the poems. I found these on Pinterest.

REINDEER FOOD

Just Sprinkle on the lawn at night,

The moon will make it sparkle bright.

As Santa’s reindeer fly and roam,

This treat will guide them to your home.

REINDEER POOP

I heard that you’ve been naughty,

So here’s the inside scoop,

All you get for Christmas,

Is this bag of Reindeer Poop!

I have more to show you but that is enough for one post. Pop back again and I will show you some more in the next post.

ANGEL WITH THE FESTIVE FLOWER BUILDER PUNCH!

November 19, 2015November 19, 2015 Jenny Hayward

I found this idea on Pinterest some time ago by a Demonstrator friend Delys. It’s a cute angel using the Festive Flower Builder Punch. How clever!!! It’s always good to find different ways of using the Stampin’ Up! products. I made the angel up some time ago but only recently added it to a card.

I will show you a link to Delys’ blog shortly so you can make your own but I will just give you some details on the card.

It took me some time to make the card as I was wondering how to make it without the rest of the card taking the attention away from the angel. So I simply layered it on a white oval and matted that on a Gold Foil Oval. This was adhered to a Thick Whisper White card base which I had adhered some of the gorgeous Winter Wonderland Designer Vellum Stack. I had wrapped around some Gold Cording Trim and added the greeting from the Christmas Greeting Thinlets Dies cut from Gold Foil Sheets. What do you think????

So do you want to make your own?? Here is the link to Delys’ blog that shows the pieces you need. Go and check it out.

Thanks for visiting. Have an happy day,

Jenny 🙂

A FLOWER WITH THE ENVELOPE PUNCH BOARD!!!

November 11, 2015 Jenny Hayward

It has been a while since I have had a good play with my Envelope Punch Board apart from some quick envelopes and gift Card Holders. What about you???? I came across this really cute flower that can be made with the Envelope Punch Board. I have to try this I think but I thought I would share this with you first. I have the video link below for you. Have a go! If I wasn’t so busy at the moment I would give it a try but I am getting ready to head off on Friday to Melbourne for the Stampin’ Up! Onstage Event. This was a last minute decision so things are a little crazy 🙂

Here is the card to give you an idea. This was created by the clever creators at Stampin’ Up!

To make your own check out this video link. How cool is this??

If you haven’t got the Envelope Punch Board yet then I would suggest you rectify that. 🙂 You can order directly from me or from my Online store HERE.

Have a super wonderful day.

Jenny
