Ornament Tag and More to it...

Hi! Today, I'd like to show you my Xmas Build A Bear Tag. I was inspired to use my Build A Bear dies and use the "Beary Merry" dies for the holiday spirit. With a little twist, I got small pom poms and glued it on the tip of the Santa Hat! It came out so cute and 3 dimensional.

What I love about this tag is it got me 3 things:
1. a Tag for your gifts
2. a Gift Card Holder(adhere half a scallop circle die at the back and stamp a "To/From" image.
3. Ornament Tag ( I decked it on my tree and it looks sooo cute and bright)

Here is gift bag I gave my friends on our Christmas Party last weekend! It was raining hard and it was the perfect gift to give them because these bags are waterproof ang big enough to fit all the exchange gifts we made!

Christmas CD Holders

I made these CD holders as gifts to my relatives back home. They loved it so much and really appreciated the time and effort put into it! The CD was a burned CD of Andrea Bocelli's new Christmas CD called "My Christmas". My folks loved the CD and I couldn't resist sharing them to the rest of the family. I also created a playlist for the holder at the back.



Measurements: Cut Cardstock to 5-1/2" x 11", then fold in the middle
NOTE: I glued them on both sides so the CD will be secured inside and punched a half circle on top for easy access to CD.

Holiday Craft Fair and Ideas

Hi, Ladies! Last week was a busy week for me and my friends. We had so much fun making items we could sell at Holiday Craft fair held outside the church last Sunday. I would like to thank my friends who invited me to their booth and had so much fun with them selling. Here are some ideas I would like to share with everyone if you're thinking of joining some Holiday Craft fairs this season..


Here are some Holiday Fancy Favor bags by Mayda!


Aileen made this beautiful grouping frame, decorated with DSP- Merry Moments #115672





Some Top Notes Treat bags by Denise and Lisa! They were also a hit selling them at $1 each!!!
Merry Tags made by Lisa are a hit too!



The chocolate nugget treats. Aileen made these with handmade square boxes to fit these yummy treats :) I made a similar one in tins too! I didn't get a chance to take the pictures because they sold out within an hour. Anyway, I'll try to remake them again for your viewing.


Candy Jars made by Mayda. The red covered jars with candy canes inside just made it so yummy inviting!! She sold them out too! BTW, notice she made a scallop edge below the jar! :)


One of my favorites. Aileen made cello bags of potpourri. All tagged and ribboned. Notice that you can make your own potpourri using wood sheets #116309 p.158, then use the Big Shot die SU! Flower Folds -#115970 p.201, to make a lovely shaped wooden flower and spice it up with your favorite oil scent!!!


Here are other items sold in the booth! Notice that we were selling Family Trees. We are taking orders for them now! So hurry before Xmas time runs out.


Here was what was left on my table..lol! I sold SU! retired stamps for a friend too! Notice that I had some Gift Card Purses on the left side of the picture. Those were the only ones left...lol! They were really a hit!! Thanks to Angie's blog. She taught me how to make them :)

If you were wondering what was my gift with purchase, I bought some $1 beannie toys (like cute dogs, bears and kitties) then decked it with ribbon, a jingle bell and the SU! Merry Embosslits #116820. They really helped in the sale! The qualifying purchase was $20 to get this cute beanies animals.


Here are cards I made for the fair! I made a Punch Art which I called "SNOWMAN BLISS". I placed them in the embossed cards which I stamped with snowflakes from the "CHRISTMAS PUNCH" Stamp Set (Hostess Level 2 Set). The arms of the snowman are made from the Jumbo Snowflake punch -#116628 p.186.



I will post my Snowman Bliss PUnch art in a seperate post with instructions. I also made the punch art as tags and they sold out !!!! I also placed these snowman punch arts as tags on the Nugget Tins I was selling. Sold out, too!! Gosh! Didn't really think it would be that popular! They made a perfect match with all the items on the table (like a theme)!

Tags Galore

Do you know how 15 dozens of tags look like? I took this picture to show you how much! Yup, 15 dozens or 180 tags. I thought I couldn't make my deadline for this tags which were ordered from me by my friend in the Philippines. She did order it like last September but I didn't get to finish it till today :) I thought of saving it for last..hehe.



I ran out of the wine satin ribbon and the Real Red Cardstock so I opted to make an alternative color which really came out so pretty. I have a lot of friends who like this combination "Pink and Brown". So I went with it and didn't regret it!



Supplies Needed:

- Cardstock: Old Olive #100702; Real Red #102482, Pretty in Pink #100459; Whisper White #100730 p.155-157
- Puncher: 5 Petal Flower #109041 p.186
- Glitter: Fine Galaxy #114286 p.180 (Champagne_
- Big Shot Machine #113439 p.194
- SU! Textured Impressions Folder Petals-A-Plenty #116824 p.21

Give Thanks Card

It's been a month since I moved and I planned to get this out earlier, but didn't get the chance :( Anyway, I sent some out later. If you didn't get one, here is my post to say "I'm Greatful for You". :) Plus, this card served as my notification that I've moved..hehehe. I added more this card but didn't get the chance to show them to you. You may add on some leaves around the card in different colors. That'll give more perk to the card. I hope you like it :)

Surprise! There's a pop up turkey inside the card!!! What's thanksgiving without a turkey?
To pop out the turkey, I punched a window word piece of cardstock and folded it 3 way the stuck the turkey onto one side of the piece. Now your ready to attach the pop up to your card with both ends of the window word piece! It's easy!
