Items for a Craft Fair - Purse Gift Card Holder



I got this idea from a fellow Stampin' Up Demonstrator Dawn Griffith. What a cute idea for a girly girl! I used papers from my Hostess Designer Paper Pack that is now retired. I used Old Olive Cardstock (current) as well as Apricot Appeal (Retired). The ribbon is Apricot Appeal (retired) 1/4" Grosgrain Ribbon. I used my Circle Punches and Scalloped Circle Punch for the "clasp" and it closes using Velcro. Inside I stamped "Imagine" from the new "World Play" stamp set. The sentiment on the circles is from the "Happy Thoughts" (retired) set. The flap and part that holds the Gift Card is from the "Top Note" die.

Altered Notebook - Different Sentiment


I meant to post this one with the one below, but I forgot to schedule out the post dates! I used the same papers as on the other one, and the "Thoughts and Prayers" set, the only difference is the sentiment, which is from the "Apple Blossoms" Hostess set.

Items for a Craft Fair - Corner Bookmarks




Here are some bookmarks I have been working on for the Craft Fair that is coming up soon. I did get the design idea off of SplitCoastStampers, however, I thought the ones they made, were a little large, so I adjusted it to be smaller. I actually used papers from the Designer Series Paper Sampler that Stampin' Up Demonstrators are able to order. This one is from last year, so the papers are retired. I tried to come up with something creative to do with the papers, since they are after all only 3 inches square and have a hole in them! The first picture is some of the bookmarks I made, and the second one is a close up of a bookmark inside a book (and yes it's one of the Twilight series books!) There won't really be too many that are the same since I am using the sampler, but that's okay, there will be lots to choose from! I used the circle punches, as well as the scalloped Circle punch, and grosgrain ribbons. Some of the Cardstock colors are also retired.
Sorry for the dark picture. I have them spread out on my chair and I guess my head was blocking the light.

Items for a Craft Fair - Altered Notebook


Here's another notebook that I altered. I just can't get over how much fun these are to make! I used Designer Papers from one of the Hostess Designer Series Paper Packs that are retired now. This one is in Brocade Blue (retired), Whisper White and Soft Suede. I used the "Thoughts and Prayers" set by Stampin' Up. For the life of me I can't find where the sentiment is from. Sorry about that! The inspiration from this one came from a card I saw by Erica Jones on Stampin' Connection (membership is exclusive to Stampin' Up Demonstrators).
