Craft fairs – Page 2 – A Stamping Journey

In today’s post on Craft Fairs I thought I would show you some Gift Ideas that I made to sell.

Firstly, some little notebooks. I found these at a local discount shop. I was going to cover them but time was running out. I think this was one week out to the Craft Fair! The notebooks had a plastic type plain cover so I decided just to stamp directly on them. They are not as exciting as I could have done BUT ……

I used Black Staz On and stamped images from ‘Timeless Talk’. They were simple but cute!

Next I made some Whiteboard Frames. Another idea from my Internet travels.

For these, I just grabbed some photo frames and you can use whiteboard markers to write directly on the glass. For the insert inside I used different pieces of DSP that I had. I created the heading using MDS and printed this on Whisper White card. I added a trim from card punched with the Scallop Border punch. I cut some butterflies using the Butterfly Bigz die and and Beautiful Wings Embosslits and adhered them to the front. They make really nice gifts in no time.

Some more projects tomorrow so come back and visit.

PS. One more Week to Sale-A-Bration and the new Occasions Catalogue starts. I am mailing out the catalogues now. Drop me a message if you want them mailed out to you.

I have been wanting to share these projects with you for a couple of months now but with all the busyness of Christmas they were just put aside. So, before we get right in to Sale-A-Bration and sharing any more from the new Occasions Catalogue coming out I thought I should show you these NOW!! At the end of October last year I had a stall at the local craft fair here. I only had 2 weeks to get organised but I made a number of different projects to sell. I know that when I do craft fairs I go searching for ideas on the internet and I am sure you do the same too if you do markets or fairs. These projects are nothing startling but I thought I might share them with you if it might help you with ideas. I will share these ideas through a number of posts this week.

Firstly, since it was leading up to Christmas I created some little Christmas treat boxes.

I found this idea on Pinterest. This is using the Milk Carton Die. I cut 3 of them – 2 in Gumball Green and one in Cherry Cobbler. I wrapped Cherry Cobbler Grosgrain ribbon around the 3 and added some mini clothes pegs to seal them. On the front of the boxes I added scallop circles punched from retired Christmas paper and cut ‘JOY’ from silver Glimmer paper.

Another quick project was some Mini purses using the Petite Purse die. I used some retired DSP and added some simple embellishments on the front. Inside I added a few chocolate treats.

I have some more projects to share with you tomorrow so stop by again to check them out.
