A Nice Cuppa Gift Envelope

Don't miss out on my Monthly Special! Details are below.

I am loving the new Spring Catalog, and I especially love the A Nice Cuppa set. I collect teacups and teapots, so this set had me at hello, but I think it's a fun set to do random little gifts for people for no reason at all. Who doesn't like getting a little gift for no reason at all?

Here's a super quick and easy idea.

Using a 6 x 6 piece of paper, (I used the Have a Cuppa Designer Series Pack which happens to be 6 x 6), score a line from point to point.

Flip your paper over and turn the paper 90 degrees and this time score 2 lines, each 1 3/4 away from either side of the center. You can see that I lined the points up on the 1 3/4 mark and then scored.

Fold the 2 short triangles in and then fold the whole thing in half. You don't even have to glue this down.

Slide 2 tea packets, or maybe tea and a sugar packet, into the 2 pockets you just created.

Punch 2 holes in the top and thread some ribbon through to tie your packet closed. Embellish as you wish.

What do you think? I think I may make a bunch of these up and just keep them in my purse. You never know when someone you meet might just need a little pick-me-up. Well, it's currently 5 degrees outside, which is actually a heat wave compared to the last couple of days, but I think I'm going to go make me a cup of tea and go play with my new stamp sets that just arrived. :o)

I am starting a new Monthly Special as my way of saying "Thank you" for ordering through me. I will be adding a little extra goodie to the Thank You Gift Pack I send out to my customers who have placed an order that month. I already send out a Thank You card and little hand-made goodie of some sort, along with divvying up the hostess credit to those who use my monthly hostess code, but this will be an additional item from our catalog and it will change each month. For the month of January 2016, anyone who places an order of $65 or more will receive a pair of Paper Snips.

IMPORTANT: If you select NO CONTACT when you place your order, I cannot, by law send anything to you, so if you'd like your free gift, please make sure that is deselected. I only use the contact information to send out your free stuff. 

Please do NOT add this item to your order, unless you want a duplicate, as this will be sent directly from me, not the company. This is not a competition, there is no single winner, everyone who qualifies gets the free gift. I will send it to you along with your Thank You Gift Pack at the end of the month. 

 Hope you get a chance to do some crafting this week.

till next time...

God's love and blessings!

Christmas Craft Sale Projects.

Warning! This post is going to be a bit heavy with photos.

I shared a little while back that I was able to do my first Craft Fair this last December. I have to say it was fun, stressful, exciting, encouraging, and I think it helped me grow as a crafter. Most of the stress was simply in the fact that I didn't prepare far enough in advance and I kept coming up with more ideas of things to make, but just didn't have enough time to make them. :o)

Anyway, here's some shots of most of the things I made:

These are the camera straps I made from leather and scarves. I also attached a cute camera charm to them.

 

These snowmen and reindeer chocolate bars were my best sellers by far. Only had a couple of them left. In front of them you can see the pretty Gift Card Holders. These were one of my favorites. 

I had lots of cards to choose from. 

These lip balm holders were good sellers as well. 

Here's my table all set up and ready. I had an awesome helper for the morning. ;o)

I picked up this display piece from a craft store that was going out of business. Thought it might come in handy someday. 

I had several of these wreaths. Each wreath came with 8 banners so you could switch it out with the different seasons. 

These were one of my favorites! I had two designs, these nutcrackers and some snowmen. So cute!!

My snowmen ornaments were pretty popular as well.

I have to say that my sales weren't that great that day, but then, it was a very small Craft Fair. I'm hoping next year to be ready earlier so I can be a part of the bigger one that is a bit north of us. I did actually sell quite a few things after the Craft Fair though, so all in all, I did pretty well and will definitely be doing it again.

I am going to close this here. Don't forget about my monthly special going on. Details below.

Mini Composition Notebooks

Don't miss out on my Monthly Special! Details are below.

I found these cute, mini composition notebooks and knew they would make the perfect Thank You gifts for my customers. They are a great size to keep in your purse for jotting down notes. I used the Awesomely Artistic stamp set for these. I love the color combination: Pink Pirouette, Crumb Cake, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla. 

It's really hard to photograph, but I used the new Wink of Stella Clear pen to highlight the dragonfly and heart. It's so pretty, and the pen is super easy to use. Love the shimmer it gives the project. 

I covered the spine with some retired cotton ribbon so it would be flexible. I adhered it with Tear & Tape on the edges. You could use a piece of fabric as well if you don't have ribbon wide enough.

I'm sending these out as Thank You gifts for those who ordered from me recently. I hope they enjoy them.

Sale-A-Bration and a Monthly Special

Happy New Year!! I am so excited! So many fun, crafty things going on right now.

First off, of course:

Woo hoo! It's that time of year again. For every $50 you spend you get a free item. Free stuff! Who doesn't like free stuff? I definitely do, and there are some great products to choose from too. You can see them all here. 

Second, we have a new Occasions catalog and it is AMAZING!! 

There are so many new products and project ideas, but I have to say that the It's My Party and Have a Cuppa are my absolute favorites. I can't wait till my order comes in tomorrow so I can play. You can check out the catalog here, or, if you'd like a hard copy, leave me a comment and I'll get one to you as soon as possible.
