Designer Paper Tile Coasters

I made a few sets of these coasters for my last craft fair, using up some designer papers! I love this retired paper design… I think It's called spice cake. 

 These aren't hard to make but do involve a bunch of steps so they take a few days from start to finish by the time you do it all!  To make these, I used mod podge to adhere the paper to the tiles. To make them water-resistant you will need to use a sealer as well. I used several coats of acrylic spray sealer, waiting for it to dry between coats. (I did this outside on my porch since it's very stinky). I also glued cork onto the bottoms so that they don't scratch your table!

For the craft fair I wanted to tie them together but wanted shoppers to know that they were all different designs so I created these cute tags that show the different patterns in each stack. That way, they know what they are getting. I love how these turned out!

Ornament Gift Card Holder

Need a cute gift card holder? This one is simply made with a few basic big shot dies! You need the Scallop Circle, 3 1/3" circle and Snowflake Flurry Bigz dies to make this. I simply cut out two big scallop circles from Cherry Cobbler Cardstock, a 3 1/3" circle from Designer Paper and a snowflake from white -- all using the big shot. Then I put it all together, adding a sentiment in the middle and making an ornament top using the round tab punch (retired) to hold the bakers twine. 

For the back side, cut your second scallop circle in half and glue it on to the back of the first one, just along the edges to make a pocket. I didn't have any gift cards lying around so this one is holding my Kohls 15% off coupon … he he he … but it's the same size as a gift card so you get the idea!

Quick and easy tags

I love to make my holiday tags… I hate the sticker kind and like to tie mine on! 

Today I used  the two tags die to make some tags! It makes very cute tags - and they're simple to dress up. I did a quick and easy color scheme of Cherry Cobbler, white and crumb cake for these. I just stamped some mittens from the Chock full of Cheer stamp set and punched them out.. then framed them with punch outs using the scallop circle and decorative label punches. Add a to/from and some bakers twine and your'e done!

Snowman mints treat

I made a bunch of these cuties to sell at the last craft fair I did. These are simple to make if you have the right punches.  You cover the peppermint patties with scalloped circles and then layer the snowman circles over the top. I didn't have small circle stamp and didn't want to glue on buttons for all of them so I used a new pencil with a fresh eraser top, using the eraser as a stamp. It's the perfect size! the nose is a point cut off from a punched star and the pink cheeks were created by adding on pink chalk with a q tip.  Then I put them in a skinny pretzel bag (found in the candy making  section at the local craft store) and tied the top with ribbon. The tag says "some of my best friends are flakes" and is from an old retired stamp set I had! 

I think he's just adorable!

Small gift bag

Here is another mini gift bag you could give little treats/gifts in. This one is only about 5 inches tall!  It's made using one sheet of card stock!  I made a similar box  a long time ago.. see post here.

For this one I stamped the paper with candy canes and then folded up to make the box. I stamped the mitten with lucky limeade on white and then framed it with some chocolate chip card stock. Isn't it super cute?

stamps: Chock full of cheer, Teeny Tiny Wishes

ink: Real Red, lucky limeade

paper:  Real Red, Soft Suede, Whisper white

other: Small hole punch, Lucky Limeade ruffled ribbon, Simply Scored Tool
