For our Fall Fest Retreat, we not only create a bunch of cards, but we also did a “giftables” project.
Three different ideas to make as great gifts or items to sell at craft fairs.
We took a pint Mason jar and wrapped burlap around it and decked it out with fall leaves, a clothespin, and a bit of Linen Thread. All the gift giver would need to do to finish this off is to fill the jar with some candy, granola, or a special treat and it’s ready to go.
The second gift idea was to take one of our Sketched Dots Tag a Bag Gift Bag and “fancy it” up. It’s kind of hard to tell from the photo, but we sponged Marine Mist ink on the bottom of the bag, and Soft Sky on the middle of the bag and left the top portion plain. This gave us a three tone affect. We created a fun tag with Dazzling Diamonds Glimmer Paper and a simple banner and embellished it with a Snowflake embellishment. Inside the bag we put a York Peppermint Patty and sealed it up with Washi tape.
The final gift idea was a huge hit. We decorated a Hershey’s candy bar to look like a chimney with Santa stuck inside. The chimney was created with the Brick Wall Embossing Folder and we colored in the mortar with the White Gel Pen.
Santa himself is purely punch art. His boots are 2 Basic Black pieces punched with the Sweetheart Punch. The Fur is from the Tree Builder Punch cut from Whisper White card stock. His pant legs are Real Red card stock cut 1″ x 1 1/2″ and finally the top of the chimney is Whisper White 1/2″ x3″. Wouldn’t these make adorable stocking stuffers?
I also forgot to mention that with each project we made all Fall Fest attendees received another gift in the form of more product. For the Project 1, the Vintage leaves card set, everyone got a package of the Linen Thread. For project 2. the Winter Wishes card set everyone got a package of Snowflake Elements and for Project 3, the Giftables everyone got a package of the Silver Cording.
Tomorrow we’re onto project 4, so be sure to check back to see what we made.
I am the new one
Thank you.
