HEY dont forget LOST is on tonight YAHOO!! A pizzia and my favorite show with my family tonight what could be better??
Yesterday was an exciting day all around .. But first I want to share another item for my craft show another cute item that holds 2-4 note cards w/ envelopes ..OK whats the price everyone ?? these are great gifts for people that you want to have those "ON HAND" gifts to give out Like to the postman , teachers, dentist office, etc... very simple to make using 2 reg size envelopes as the base holder cut off one of the envelope flaps then put adhesive on the other flap of the 2nd envelope on the back side of flap and slide this flap inside the envelope you cut the flap off of and TA DA you have a notcard holder decorate and apply a ribbon to tie the holder shut .. Inside I used the notecards and small envelopes #107311. I used the Snowflake spot for the outside design and also on the notecard and envelopes .. I used always artichoke ink and cs and of course dazzling diamonds .. I had some retired wide organdy ribbon I used for closing the holder up .. I am leaving all these type of notecards blank on the inside for the user to use anyway they wish .. I will be making alot of these for my craft fair also soooo have you all thought of a great price for these yet ?? Pretty Please share your thoughts . Ok now onto my other exciting things yesterday
1st off is.. Daughter will be getting her braces off in 6 weeks ..WOWZIE It hasnt even been a year yet. In 4 weeks she goes and gets a mold of her teeth for the retainer and then 2 weeks after that the braces come off and she gets her retainer( all before Christmas ) .. Her teeth look Fabulous!! and her Ortho doc thinks so too.. I must post before and after shots later of how her teeth were tranformed ..
The 2nd exciting thing was we have the 1970 chevelle listed on Ebay with our friend at church him and his wife do this ( alot ) and why would I do it when I dont have the foggiest idea on what to do .. .. its very exciting to watch ebay bidders especially when its an item your selling HUH?
3rdly My cousin Ruthie came over and we ended up designing 6 card fronts for Sarah ( our cousin ) to look over and point her in some kind of direction of what she would like for her wedding invites .. Even though we really had no idea where to start except Ruthie knew Sarah wanted something in "Fall " colors so we ran with it .. Plus Its always fun to hang out with my Ruthie girl..
next thing on my list was to make a few of the poopy holders( Boy that sounds terrible huh?) snowman and raindeer and here is what they look like in the cello bags I think I like them better this way .. and so much more cost effective since I get 50 sm cello bags for 3.95 instead of the vellum CS for 6.50 I would get 80 made from a package of vellum CS BUT I would have to use alot of sticky strip with the sour cream containers also, so I think I will make the sm. cello bags of the Poopy items :-) Hee! Hee! Plus you can see the poopy much better with the cello bags and really this makes these much cuter cause you can see it .. RIGHT? I will still keep the $ 2.00 price on these for my craft fair .. Just thought I would show ya them today also
Have a Fabulous day and Thanks so much all my faithful Bloggers out there for peeking in today..I love yas
I read a Quote yesterday from a magazine
" When you Learn ... Teach.. When you get.... Give
I love that quote .. It reminds me aof an AWESOME movie I seen a few times I love it so Much ( its the DEEP message You get from this movie that can change you whole outlook in life ...really ) the movie is 'PAY IT FORWARD" with Haley Joel Osment ( 2000) Wow what a message
Look here and see the Pay it forward movement and click here to watch the trailer of this Great movie
Until later....Happy Stampin!!
Idea for you
make JUST the tags as gift tags and sell for 50 or 75 cents each. are you making your mini tag holder pouches too?
you should you know!
any unique item like that is a great idea. and remember whatever you have left over you can give as door prizes! lol
good luck- keep us posted because:
inquiring minds want to know!

I really like what you have posted! The card holders are a great idea, I think I would price them for about $7.50. The bags look GREAT! those should be a big seller, and they do make a better appearance in the cello bags!

Dawn - I have to agree on the gift tags! those do sell pretty good as well! Just another thought, what about the gift bags to cordinate with some of the patterns you are doing.

Dawn- Love the card holder and the poop thingies! I'm a very visual person so would you be willing to send me a different view of the card holder? Oh, and Cards all the way! :0)

love the cards! Looks like the punch is coming in handy! One day I will have mine as well! You are so wonderful and creative I really wish and will be thrilled the day I get to meet you in person!

The notecard set is beautiful! I like the simplicity of the snowflake,yet elegant enough for a special use. If there are 4 cards to the set, along with the holder, you should sell the set for $10. You could easily get that much out of them.

Ooooooh! What a gorgeous card! I love it!

Your snowflake card is stunning! Hard to believe you used 2 envelopes to make it.
