Holiday Sale items!

Hi everone!  It has been a while since my last post.  Haven't forgotten about this blog, just needed to find the time to locate my camera & take some pics of the great stocking stuffers & holiday gifts I have been making.  Hope you enjoy!  If you would like to pick up some of these treats, come by Holiday Sale at Marshall high school in Falls Church on Saturday, Dec 10th from 10 - 3pm.  I would love to see you!  All of these all make a great teacher or co-worker gifts!

 

Great Stocking stuffers - used the cellophane bags found in holiday mini from Stampin' UP!  If you need any bags, they are available for purchase until January 3rd!

 don't you just love Rudolph??

Some cute little bags filled with goodies.  I used the top note die for the Joy of Christmas bags & the tag punch for the For You bags (filled with Hershey's Nuggets) 

Dasher gift box - filled with your choice of York Peppermint Patties or Hershey bars. These all make a great teacher or co-worker gifts!

A wonderful snow man gift holder - this one has a packet of hot chocolate inside!  My upline, Rose-Ellen Eastman, shared the idea at a meeting back in October & I knew I needed to make some of these!

I think the Big Shot is one of my favorite tools from Stampin' UP!  They have this wonderful Matchbox Die, which I used for these cute snowflake boxes - with Hershey's Nuggets inside - who doesn't love the gift of chocolate?

Last but not least - coasters!  I love the Medallion background stamp and it is perfect for making coasters.  Add a little cork on the bottom to protect the furniture & you have a great place to set your drink!

Sorry for the blurry pics - I can't seem to take pictures properly :)  hope you like the creations!  Happy holidays to you all - may you find your days filled with laughter & good times with family & friends.

Sale at Kettler

This past weekend, there was a vendor sale at Kettler Ice Rink during a synchronized figure skating event.  I took a gamble and had a table.  It was a fun day, not much in sales, but I wasn't really surprised.  Everyone was there for the skating!  I received lots of compliments on the items I had made and one person told me I should be charging more for the coasters!  Here are some pictures of the display & the things I was selling.   Pictures didn't turn out that great - sun was shining in the windows behind & I think I had too much coffee - they are a little blurry :)

The next post will include some pictures of the individual items I was selling & if you would like to buy some for teacher gifts or stocking stuffers, leave me a comment or email me at MelissaCzarnecki@gmail.com!

Free Big Shot for new demonstrators in October!

Check out the details of this fabulous video on YouTube from Shelli Gardner, cofounder & CEO of Stampin' Up!  I would love to have you on my team. Contact me today & start creating!

Thank you gift boxes

I had an open house a week ago & the order came in yesterday.  I wanted to give a little thank you to the ladies who ordered.  Thanks to the tutorial from Cristy Butzen, found here, I was able to create these beautiful boxes in less than 30 minutes for all 6 using the new Simply Scored in the Holiday Mini from Stampin' Up!  I must admit, I was hesitant to buy it, but it is fabulous and super easy to use.

I added some buttons & twine inside as the gift.  You could also fill them with candy for the holidays.  If you would like to learn more about this product or would like to host a party at your house, let me know!

Holiday Mini Open House

Join me at my Open House to share some new products from the Holiday Mini!  Stop by Friday night, Sept 9th from 7-10 or Saturday afternoon, Sept 10th from 2-5.  RSVP on my Stampin' Up! site & I will get the address to you.  Hope you can make it!

So many birthdays!

So many friends with birthdays, so little time to make the cards!  Hope you enjoy these!  The last one will be my birthday card from the office since I make all the cards we give out to co-workers on their special day.

Homework

At our July meeting, my upline gave us some homework.  We received some new product & have to create.  Oh the pressure!  Came up with this last night since I know I have a lot of thank yous to get out in the mail one of these days.  Hope you like it!
