Hey everyone!
It’s that time of year again and in a few short weeks I will be holding a stall at the Christmas in the Country Craft Show again here in Gatton. There are the most gorgeous handmade goodies you have ever seen at this event and is well worth the trip. I buy a lot of my Christmas presents here. There is always something new and exciting every year to look at and buy. Some absolutely talented crafters in every medium have their best work for sale and it is also the amin fundraising event for my kid’s school.
I thought I would share with you all today a sneak peek at what I will have there at my stall. And I mean a sneak peek. It is nowhere near what I will have on offer that day.
First up Bookmarks.
These little cuties were in our last Stampin’ Up! Impressions Magazine. They are so simple to create and I made a heap of them. Here are my two faves so far
I am loving the monster one. They couldn’t all be girl based, I had to have some for boys you know, and I am currently working on a design for the older boys. Great Christmas gifts for teachers and dads.
Next I have some new embellishment packs designed with the Builder Owl punch
Some super cute reindeer’s with Santa and the next one I think is my favourite
Some super adorable monster embellishments. Use these on your cards or scrapbook LO’s. I am also working on some other designs I will let you know how I go.
The next lot of creations were lots of fun to make. I have seen these fabulous top note box creations getting around for quite a while. I found lots of Inspiration form two sites in particular for these. Gretchen Barron and Tammy Beaver are both very clever and actually have tutorials to sell and some are even free. You must check them out. They are both super talented, and I am totally in love with Tammy’s bunny! LOL!
The Christmas ones
How suoer cute are they?!
Next the Easter ones
Adorable aren’t they?
I have also made one Halloween one for now but I have plans for more so keep your eye out.
I have heaps more to do like put handles on them and I am currently on the look out for some plain dark coloured wire to use. Anyone have suggestions?
I have also been doing some more altered frames which are super cute if I say so myself! LOL! I will show you them soon too.
I best get back to it, I have a little helper here today with Tonsillitis so I better make the best of it! HAHA!
OMG!!!! What fabulous creations chicki! Yet again you will rake it in at the craft fair………..I am speechless…….and that doesnt happen much! lol

Hi Sheree,
Are you asking about the gift boxes? They are made using Stampin’ Up! fancy favor XLBigz Sizzix die and the Top Note Bigz die for the face shapes, everything else is either punched or hand cut. Let me know if that is what you wanted to know!
Thanks,
Kirsty

Hi Kirsty. I love your “basket” designs. You are very talented. Could you please tell me how to make the box part of the projects? Thank you so much.

Hi Cheryl,
The box for the Christmas and Easter boxes was the Fancy Favor box Sizzix die that Stampin’ Up! used to carry. I’m sure you could track down this die easily on Ebay or a share/swap craft group. I no longer have mine.
Thanks,
Kirsty
