Craft Fair Idea - Spirited Snowmen Treat Holder

Hello, good morning and welcome to my blog! Today, I want to share another, quick and easy craft fair sales item idea with you using our Lustrous White Mini Gable Boxes. I love these boxes because they're not only adorable, they are quite handy for treats and small gifts. 

So to make this perfect for a Christmas Bizarre or Craft Fair, I stamped both sides of the Gable Box, while it was still in the flat fold position with the Buffalo Check stamp and Pool Party ink. I then unfolded the box and filled it with treats (I had some pretty green foil wrapped caramels).  

Then, I stamped the sweet little snowman from the Spirited Snowmen stamp set onto Whisper White cardstock using Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored him in with my Stampin' Blends markers. I used the light Pool Party marker to outline around his snow body, I colored his hat with the dark Real Red and the dark Granny Apple Green. I did his scarf and boots in the same dark Granny Apple Green and his stick arms and legs with the dark Crumb Cake and his carrot nose was done in the dark Pumpkin Pie and his buttons are in the dark Real Red. To finish him off, I used Clear Wink of Stella all over his face and body to make him sparkle like snow. 

I then punched him out with the 2 1/4 Circle Punch and die cut a scalloped circle from a piece of Granny Apple Green cardstock using the Layering Circles Framelit Dies and adhered these together with a little Snail adhesive and I attached it to the front of the treat box using a couple of Stampin' Dimensionals. 

I hope you enjoyed today's project. Feel free to leave a comment and let me know your thoughts. I would love to hear them. In the meantime, Happy Stamping and have a wonderful weekend and be sure to check back on Sunday as I will be hopping along with many other demonstrators, featuring the gorgeous, Snowflake Showcase, which goes live for customers Thursday, November 1st!

Hello and Happy Tuesday! Brrrr, our weather has finally turned into typical late Fall weather, lots of rain and lots of chilly air. What's it like in your neighborhood? Well,  this week and this past weekend, I spent getting ready for my annual craft fair for the Delta Lake Kiwanis Club. It's quite a big show, and I typically do pretty well at this one. This year I did try several others with not much luck with them, but I'm hoping this one will make up for the disappointment of the others? We shall see.
One of the items I'm offering this year are the battery operated candles that I found at the Dollar Tree, or DT as it's known in the crafting community...ha....you see, I'm learning my abbreviations! I guess you can teach an old dog new tricks!
Anyway, here is just one sample of the candles that I am making for the event.

I love this stamp set, it's a pretty set, but it mixes in the much needed humor the we need to fill ourselves with in order to get through most days. I did this the same as I did the other candles, I stamped my images onto some white tissue paper, colored in the "wine" using Fresh Fig marker ( the color reminds me of merlot wine) trimmed close to the image and applied it to my candle, covered with waxed paper and heated it with my heat tool. Viola! Cute battery operated candle that's perfect for a kitchen or dinning room! I tried to capture the glow of the flickering light in the photo, however, no matter what I did, I couldn't seem to capture it. But, it's still pretty just know that it's prettier in person, that's all.
