Craft Fair Goodies continued

Last year I think I had just a little too much Christmasy stuff at my sales, and not enough "everyday" items, so this year I plan on changing that. I hope to offer both Christmas and everyday choices of items. (these photos were taken in a room with poor lighting, so please forgive the muffled colors) Here are some Magnetic Tablet holders in Sage Shadow: More Sage Shadow:

Some Christmas themed ones in Real Red:

Some Lavender Lace and Lovely Lilac:

And finally some Garden Green and Green Galore:

The images are various Stampin' Up items, from mostly retired sets : Serene Snowflakes, Punch Pals, Priceless, Circle Of Friendship and Pocket Silhouettes just to name a few.

Christmas in July Card Club - Serene Snowflakes

Here is the second card we made in July for Card Club. It features the "Serene Snowflakes" (115438) stamp set. We made a stencil with the Ornament punch (119847). The sentiment is from "Four The Holidays" (116921). It features Bashful Blue, Not Quite Navy and Basic Grey cardstock and Classic Ink. We also added some Dazzling Diamonds to this card (but not in picture) on the center of the large snowflake.

Join us for Card Club, held the third Friday of every month (except November 2011, when it is the second Friday). Ask me for details!

Cards from Card Club - Christmas

The first card was inspired by a fellow PhillyInker, Lynn. She had made a card similar to this one at a shoe box swap a while back (2008 I think??). Her card featured Lavender Lace and metallic silver cardstock (both previously available through Stampin' Up.) I updated it, by changing up the colors, adding some dazzling Diamonds, and adding satin ribbon. It features the Snow Swirled stamp set.
The second card was inspired by a card I saw on Stampin' Connection. I like the simplicity of this card! Now if you wanted to add color you could always switch it up and do the card in all blue, or red and green or whatever color combination you'd like! You could also add some sparkle to some of the snowflakes with Dazzling Diamonds. We kept it simple. But you could also change up the border punch for a little different look. This one features the Serene Snowflakes stamp set, and the sentiment is from Occasional Quotes.

Philly Inkers Shoebox Swap

Today I was able to attend the semi Annual brunch that the PhillyInkers group holds. When we have these, we get together, have wonderful food and conversation, and afterwards, those who are able, participate in a Shoebox swap. This brunch was held at Heather Y's house, and she made FABULOUS Quiches and Skier's French Toast! YUMMY!!!!
This is the card I made for the Shoebox swap. It uses Real Red, Whisper White, and Handsome Hunter cardstock. The snowflakes are from the "Serene Snowflakes" set, and the sentiment is from "Heard From the Heart". The brads are from the Vintage Brads set. I also added a little Dazzling Diamonds here and there for a little sparkle!

A Card for Claire

Each month at the Philly Inkers we have a Mail swap. Last month I drew Claire, my awesome and fearless Upline! She was nice enough to take this picture of the card for me, as I forgot to take one before i sent it to her! (Thanks Claire!)

I wanted to make a fun card for her, and somewhere along the line my creative juices turned over to winter! Seems that's all I have been working on!

Anyway I used the snowflakes for the background from "Snow Swirled" and "Serene Snowflakes". The Polar bear and his accessories (each piece is a different stamp) and the sentiment are all from "Cold and Cuddly". These are all sets that Stampin Up has to offer! The cardstock I used was Bashful Blue, Brilliant Blue, and Whisper White. And I used black StazOn, Bashful Blue, Real Red and Brilliant Blue Classic Inks.

I hope she likes it as much as I enjoyed making it!!!

Items for a Craft Fair - Card Holder

I love making these! This is a folder I made that when opened revels a bookmark and three cards! I Stayed within the same colors so that it would coordinate nicely. The Snowflakes are from Stampin Up's "Serene Snowflakes" from the 2009 Holiday Mini and the tree is from "Snow Swirled". The ribbon ans tassel are from stuff I had on hand.
