A look at some of my Christmas goodies!

I wanted to share some of the Christmas goodies I've been making for craftshows and for the Craftshop I hosted.

This is a gift bag we made from a sheet of 12x12 Designer Series Paper.


This is a goodie treat box that you can hang from a bottle of wine and stuff with chocolates or you can hang it from a bottle of water and fill it with those little powdered drink pouches.


 This next one is a treat wallet - you can slip in two bags of tea or a couple Ghirardelli chocolate squares.


 Here's a hot cocoa pouch - one version. I ended up making a slightly different one.


 We made four different Christmas cards - all different styles with different techniques so everyone got a chance to work with the Big Shot to emboss and to die cut, use the masking technique, heat emboss, and stamp directly from the acrylic block.



And this is the little bottle of chai tea that we decorated.  It also ended up looking slightly different than this - I had the ladies stamp directly onto the bottle using a stamp from the Winter Memories stamp set (the one where they're building a snowman).
 
Here's a picture of the ladies at the Handmade Christmas Craftshop that I hosted. We all had a great time!
 
 
 
 
 
And here are a some of the items from my craftshows:
These are junior legal pads with covers.
 

 Some post-it notes with covers.


 Cute little gift card holders.




These awesome wine lamps - I know, they have nothing to do with stamping but they are really, really cute!  I get lots of compliments on them! And have sold quite a few!



Lastly, are these cute snowman and Grinch treat bags.
 




I hope you enjoyed a look at some of my craft items!  See you soon and Happy Stamping!

Two Craftshows done...

My first workshop went well...I was a little nervous, but did it and the feedback was good! I even got one new recruit! She loves the Big Shot as much as I do and had to have it! Awesome!

I had a booth at a craftshow at a local church last Saturday and did another one today! Doubled what I made last week and it was lots of fun. Got two new contacts and was able to show off my wares!  Here's what I had:



Here's one from today's show, with my sister-in-law: (I'm the one in the green shirt)

We had too much fun and met lots of nice people. I'm hoping to have some of them at my next event, a Homemade Craftshop on December 2nd.
