penguin tags and craft fair reminder

Hello! Yesterday I finished making up 30 penguin tags for the upcoming craft fair I'll be at. Seems like there is never enough time to make everything you want to make, right? I guess it's partly because I want to make everything! I am trying to cut back on that! I still have lots to pack up and inventory. I think that might be my least favorite part of this whole venture. All the paper work and keeping track of everything makes my brain hurt. But I want to start so I am not rushing at the last minute.

These cute penguins are from Mama Elephant. But the speech bubble, to and heart is from Lawn Fawn. I did some masking to place the penguin's Santa hat and then to place him onto the floating iceberg.

Here is another penguin. He looks a bit wobbly.

Then the last penguin who is on his behind. These are so cute to add to gifts. I'll be packing them in sets of 5 for the fair.

The Moanalua 99 Craft Fair is on Sunday, September 20th from 10 am to 3 pm. Hope you can make it! My Etsy store will be closed, I think possibly from tonight until a couple days after the fair so I can update my listings.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

These are cute Eva- great job on those penguin tags....
I myself have been crafting like crazy, I was blessed to have several people asked me to make a bunch of projects for their craft fairs too! Unfortunately
I was not asked to publish them in anyway because of their personal reasons. The Big Island is not like Oahu where you have thousands of people so no one really cares what you do. But here, everyone wants to be better than the next and it's so sad that they are people out there that are like that....You'll do great that's for sure....Take care ~ and good luck!

Snowman gift card holder

Hi! I was planning to post this last night but I was just too tired to write or think of complete sentences. It's been a busy week with the boys on Fall break and still trying to finish up a bunch of crafts. I have been trying to make some crocheted crafts to put in my Etsy shop and finally I'm done with one. It's a crocheted snowman that can hold a gift card or anything actually that is small enough to fit in the pouch. The pattern is designed by ChiWei Ranck of One Dog Woof and can be found HERE . Here's the little snowman with his arms folded over in the front to look like he is hugging the card. I added this fun card that I stamped. You can definitely add in a gift card too behind this card. The gift card reaches under his nose. This is how the little opening of the pouch looks. I hope I can make more of these little guys. These would be so cute for teachers and I think it would be easy to put a little wire throug...

coffee cup shaped cards

Hi! I think after this post I may need a little nap! My right shoulder is actually feeling worn out from all the typing and photo editing I've been doing lately. And this cooler weather is making me drowsy. It's getting cold here already! I made a bunch of these coffee shaped cards using a die from Honey Bee Stamps . It's a cute coffee set but the die is extra long so it would probably help to have a longer platform to diecut. I just have the standard sized one so I would pass it through once in my Big Shot and then rotate the cardstock and die carefully to cut the other end. Manageable but the longer platform would be more convenient! I embossed the front of the card with some pretty snowflakes. I think this is a Sizzix embossing folder. And then stamped the coffee sleeve with some Lawn Fawn stamps. This is the inside. The gift card slot does not come with this coffee cup die set. I cut that opening with one ...

Knuffle Bunny

Hi! The Greeting Farm had their Customer Challenge & Chit Chat Night "A Night at the Bookstore" and introduced a few challenges. I have to say chatting was too fast for me and I couldn't really keep up. It was still early here, and I had to pick up the kids from school and activities and make dinner and eat and so I guess the timing didn't really work out with our schedule. You can check out the challenge details on the SCS forum HERE . I made this card for Favorite Child's Book category. It is based on the Mo Willems book Knuffle Bunny . It's one of my kids' favorites and it's such a cute story. We actually love reading Mo Willems' books especially his Elephant and Piggie series. Those books are hilarious! This challenge also made me realize that I haven't read many books recently except kids' books. I used to love reading but just haven't given it much time lately. Anyway, here is my card. If you've read the story...
