Stocking Gift Card Holder, Reindeer Noses treat and Post It Note Holder w/pen

 This Gift card holder uses a retired Holiday Stocking Bigz L Die.  I made it using an embossing folder to look knit & some retired Designer Series Paper & retired punch with a Rhinestone in the center.  Loved how it turned out.                

I also loved how my Reindeer Noses turned out but they were not big sellers until I got around my fellow stampers & I quickly sold out.  The deer head uses the Owl Builder Punch with his antlers being part of a retired snowflake punch & the Top Note Die folded over made the topper.

  The Post It Note Holder with matching Pen uses an Acrylic Frame laid down where Designer Paper is put inside & the Post It Notes attached on the top of the frame.  The Pen uses the same DSP rolled up inside when the ink refill sets.

Guest Artist- Linda Kjeld with Angel box, Rolo Blossoms, Hot Cocoa Packets

Linda came up with some cute boxes using the Gift Bow Bigz L Die to make Angels on them using Designer Series Paper, Glimmer Paper and oval punch. She also used the Blossom punch to attach a Rolo on I thought was adorable. Last but not least was her Hot Cocoa/Hot Cider Packets.

3D Gum Packet Holders and Ghiradelli Treat Holders

I am sharing a few more items I made for my vendor event.  I used current & retired items for these treats.  A great way for me to use up the retired cardstock and Designer Series Papers & also ribbon.  They also used many assorted stamps & punches

The bottom treats actually took 1 6x6 piece of Designer Series paper that was just folded up & then just pop up a little topper on it.  Very simple.

3D M&M Christmas Treats

Here are some of the cute treats I made this year for a Vendor Event.  I love making them and the 1"x8" Cellophane bags from Stampin' Up can be used throught the year for any holiday or occasion.  They only cost 2.50 for 50 of them which makes them very reasonable. Below you can see close up pictures of the toppers I used.  Some are repeats and some are new.  Enjoy.

 Punches used:  Stocking, Ornament, Bird Builder, Decorative Label, Modern Label, Curly Label, Petite Pennants Builder, Cupcake Builder, Scallops, Circles, Ovals, Blossom, Heart.

Vendor Event - United Way Fundraiser

So November I found out we were doing a fundraiser vendor event for United Way and I was asked if I wanted to set up a table.  Decided I would but did not have much time to get ready.  My downline Linda Kjeld to my rescue.  Here is the table we set up.  Would have looked much nicer if I would have remembered my black tablecloth.  Oh well.

M&M Skinny Bag with Elf Topper

Here is my last minute topper I made.  Found it on Pinterest & cased it.  Quite easy to make but uses many punches including the ornament punch, Bird Builder punch & heart punch to name a few.  Below you can see a close up.

M&M Skinny Bags Close Up

Here are my skinny bags up close.  The fun part with these are you can make them for any occasion all year long.  There are many different candies that can fit in them, even licorice.  I have even seen pencils in them for a non candy gift.

Gift Card or Money Holders

Here is another item from my Vendor event that were very simple.  I used some plastic Business Card Holders I purchased online & put retired Christmas Designer Series Paper in them.  I then stamped the stocking & the For You using a punch for the stocking and a Framelit for the For You & popped them us with dimensionals.  I also added a Basic Rhinestone to the stocking.  Cute & quick.
