I’ve been making a lot of stuff for the craft fairs. Here’s a peek at what’s done…

Post-it note holders with mini gel pens. My DH packaged all of these! He made the bag toppers and stapled all of them! Isn’t that sweet of him?!?!

Magnetic message boards with a clothespin magnet and an embellished magnet eacg

Ornament gift card holders

More gift card holders

So you can see I’ve been very busy :) There are more things have done, once I’ve them completed I’ll post the pictures. I’m having so much fun making these things. There are so many things I’d never tried making because they wouldn’t be of use to me but thanks to the craft fair I can try my hand at multitude of things and it is so satisfying to let your mind be free – free to create anything! I think I can spend 24 hours a day making all this stuff!

LA = Leave of Absence :). I’ve been on a long leave of absence – all related to our moving into out first house! First buying the house and then settling down – together they make a long winding process :). Now that we’re quite settled, I’m back in business. I have my very own table for crafting – can you believe that?!?! And the cherry topping are the Alex drawers from IKEA! We bought two of them and I thought I was planning for the future. Who was I kidding?!?! They’re already full! Well that takes care of not buying too much of stuff!

Though I’ve been missing from the blog world, I haven’t been completely out of crafting. A few months back I made these gift card holders for an acquaintance. There were 10 of them so I decided to make a little purse to put them in. Don’t they look cute?!?! She was very happy when she saw them!

Did I tell you that I incorporated DH’s help to do these? He’s so cute – he punched all the flowers for me. There are around 24 punched flowers and 10 of these cards which makes 240 punches. He did every one of them! A big thank you to him :-) Oh and we also broke my old punch in the process. So we had to buy a new one in haste. My old one was a McGill Daisy Stacking punch and though the punched flower was beautiful, the punch itself wasn’t great. The new one – a marvy uchida I think – is just the opposite. I like it’s buttery smooth punching more than the flower! Oh well what can you do…

The ribbon used on the bag is a recycled one – I lifted it from a packing we received some time back. The leaves are hand-drawn.

 

Supplies: DCWV cardstock, stacking daisy punch, dew drops look-alike, white gel pen.

Create Your Own Friday #3 – Gift card holder

This gift card holder is inspired from the flower pot card at SCS.Instead of the slider I chose to give it another mechanism for holding the gift card; and let me just say that I’m soooooo pleased with what I did!! I’m a genius :)

This is the front:

This is how you open!

So what do you think?!?!?
