Bee HappiLeaCraftin with Tamara

I have been working on a few things getting ideas as to what I will make for doing my 1st Craft Fair this year! I am using up some of my old Retired Stampin' Up! DSPs and loving them all over again! 😍       I'm hoping these Gift Bag Sets are going to be a hit at the Craft Sale a friend & I are going to attend this year! I know it is something I would consider buying if I were to be looking to purchase 😊      The envelope on the left is a Stampin' Up! Die Case that I re-purposed or altered to make into a Gift Card Holder. On the right is a matching Birthday Card, in the center is a little Gift Box and at the back is the Gift Bag for it all to go in. The gift box is a retired Stampin' Up! Mini Pizza Box. All of them are decorated with the Stampin' Up! Broadway Birthday bundle & Broadway Bound Specialty DSP.       I try to keep my dies in the same case as the set it co-ordinates with so I end up with lots of empty cases, I kn...

Here is my version of the 1st folio in Vanessa Peter's Forever & Always folio Mini Album Series! She has done a series of 3 folios, they are so fun and really quite easy to make. She will also be adding a 4th folio and a box to store all of them in when she is able to get back to her crafting. I received the cutting guide in the second email I received after I had signed up to her email list. I don't know if you sign up after, if you will be sent this cutting guide but I do know you receive a Note Pad Holder one for sure.   I have to admit... I really like her style of folios and I think I may try a few more using her method! This folio is Style #2 and I think this one is my favorite!

An Ultimate Pop Up Birthday Card! This was a first making this card! I thought it was going to be WAY harder than what it was!! I seen a video done by Samantha Clayton of Mixed Up Craft and I had to try!       It is designed to be in it's own envelope so this is how it looks closed.  I have magnets on either side of the closure flap to keep it closed and just decorated very simple. Let the Designer Series Paper do most of the decorating! 😉      You can find the link to her video written in pink above to see how she does it along with her blog post to find all the measurements of all the pieces needed.      I really like some of the cards she has done and find myself CASEing a few of them! This one was surprisingly fairly easy to make... with her help! 😂      I think this just might be one I attempt to do with my crew! We'll see what they think of the idea and go from there.       ...

A Beautiful Treat Bag Gift Card Holder        I had seen this really cool gift card holder tutorial on YouTube done by Buckeye Inklings and I loved it and wanted to make one!! It was perfect because I had a birthday card I needed to do... better late than never 😉 This is what I came up with...      I did use all retired products but the recipient isn't a stamper so she isn't going to care 😂      I wanted this set all last catalog and I finally got it just a couple months before it retired!! I'm super glad I did cause I have a few tea drinkin' friends I can make things for with this set.      Even though I am a demonstrator, I think it's a good idea to use retired things sometimes either by themselves or with current things because your customers will still use them... if they can't continue to use what they have... they may not want to buy more because they think they have enough.      I think...
