Craft Show Successes, Part 2

Greetings!

I'm so glad you enjoyed yesterday's post.  I have a couple more craft show projects to share with you today.  Both of these were modified from similar projects I saw on Pinterest.  Both were posted by so many, that I have no idea who originally came up with these ideas.

First up is the Bath and Body Works Hand Sanitizer.  I stock up on these all year when I have coupons to use.

Next up is another hot chocolate holder.  This one holds a K-cup in the mini coffee cup.  

I created a holder for the mini coffee cup similar to those that hold the gift cards.  This one does not have the gift card holder.  Also included in this package is a treat tube with dehydrated mini marshmallows and 3 Hershey kisses.  

Both of these items were popular for office gifts.  

   ******

That's it from here for a few days.  Enjoy the long holiday weekend with family and friends!  Check my Stamp With Melanie Facebook page as time permits.

Craft Show Successes, Part 1

Hi everyone!

Monday starts this year's Online Extravaganza!   Starting off, there are several stamp sets on sale for 20% off, in addition to the other products that will be available.  Click the image below to see the full list of sale items!

If you saw my post on my Stamp With Melanie Facebook page over the weekend, you know that I participated in my third Vendor and Craft Show on Saturday.  I thought I would share a little more about some of my best sellers this week.  Let's take a look.

First up is the hot chocolate cross over box.  Late on Friday, I saw a Facebook post from Wendy at Luvin' Stampin' showcasing this box.  Wendy provided a great tutorial and mentioned how easy they were.  I happened to have 2 boxes of Nestle's hot chocolate pouches, so I made up 12.  They were as easy as promised.  And best of all?  They were sold out in less than an hour!

Inside each pouch is a hot chocolate, a candy cane, and a treat tube with dehydrated mini marshmallows.  

Next up is my Thinking of You box.  This is for a friend or co-worker under the weather.   Deseree Buss Krumm provided the initial idea for these for me, although I've seen many others as well.  Mine are not quite the same, but the premise is the same.  Since my products did not fit the pizza box, I made my own box as well as a belly band to keep it closed.

And the inside:

I hope you've enjoyed today's little peak at a couple of my most popular craft fair items.  Stop back tomorrow for a look at a couple more popular items.

Finally, since this Thanksgiving week, I will not be posting after Monday night/Tuesday until next Sunday.  Updates to the Online Extravaganza - and anything else that comes along will be posted on my Facebook page.  Click here to check it out.

Halloween and Fall Craft Fair Goodies

Hi everyone,

Two weeks ago I participated in my first fall craft show of the season.  This weekend is the second.  Two weeks ago it was 85 degrees and sunny; this week it supposed to in the 50's and raining.  The first show was really slow.  I hope like heck that this one is not!  

I've wanted to share some of the items I have for the fall shows.  Today, is the first of those posts.  The ideas are generally not mine.  I found many ideas on Facebook and Pinterest.  Thank you to everyone that takes the time to share their creativity!

First up, is the post it note holders.  There is even a "coordinating" mini ball point pen.  They are packaged in a cello bag with a matching topper.  Most covers are decorated with a small piece of designer series paper, some are stamped.

Next up, front and center, are the toothbrush holders.  Seriously, when I first saw these, I immediately ordered the Creep It Real (#144780) stamp set so I could make my own.  On the right are the holders I made for the test tubes.  My tubes are empty.  I offer the purchaser a fun size M&M's or Skittles to fill their tubes.

Finally, my fall chocolates.  On top are the milk chocolate apple shaped caramels in the "wood crate" framelits  and Wood Words stamps (#145316) and on the bottom are spooky eyes in the clear mini treat box and decorated with the Seasonal Tags (#144685)

I hope you enjoy making your own fall goodies!

Christmas Notecards, The End

Hello stampers!

The past couple of days I've shared the Christmas notecards I created.  Today I'm sharing the final piece of that project.

I made a folder to hold those cards and coordinating envelopes.

There is a pocket on the left side to hold stamps or address lists and a pen, too.  The cards and envelopes are on the right.

The whole project.  I am making several of these -- for gifts and for the Christmas craft shows.
