Sweet treats are always fun to make for any occasion. I love making these mini handbags. I first created something similar to hold post it note, taking my original Idea I adapted it to hold Tic Tacs. A sweet treat I know can be found in many parts of the world and a popular and inexpensive treat for craft fair makes.
Made quickly and with minimal supplies these can be made in batches swiftly. To make this easy I have a full step by step video tutorial on my YouTube for you to follow. So grab a fresh cuppa, get comfy and enjoy the video.

If you need a quick gift or craft fair idea these little notebooks are perfect. minimal supplies, quick design and easy to make.
Easily made you can get two of these from one A4 sheet of card stock and ten A4 sheets of plain copier paper. Small amount of designer paper and ribbon to embellish plus a pretty sentiment and your good to go.

Always thinking of ideas for little gifts or craft fair ideas I created these little cuties over the weekend. These are mini post it note/ page markers decorated in a fun and fast way.
Super budget friendly these use minimal supplies. I used a block of post it notes measuring approx.
3 x 3 " square. Divide them into thinner bundles say 10-15 sheets then cut them in half on the width. This way you get heaps from an inexpensive block of post it notes. I reckon you could make up to 20 from a £1.00 block.
The card casing is matchbook style and an idea which is fast to create in bulk and easy for you to change up measurements to suit whatever post it notes you use. I decorated this set of five using Stampin' Up! Time for tags, which is actually a free set you can claim on orders £150 or over as it is a hostess set you can claim using stampin' rewards... even more frugal !
The paper needed is small so a great way to use up scraps too. My love for collecting Stampin' Up! punches came in hand here as I used the Timeless label and the classic label punches. The Timeless label shape co-ordinates perfectly with the Time for tags set. I was given the stamp set AND the punch FREE by Stampin' Up! at a recent demonstrator event...another perk of being a demo is the freebies !
I did a set of five to show off our fantastic new in colours Rococo rose, Seaside Spray, Purple posy, Terracotta tile and Pretty peacock. The ink matches the paper and both these in turn match the little faceted gem embellishments used to just catch the light and add a tiny twinkle. I love co-ordination as much as I love punches.
I have a fun and fast YouTube tutorial for you to craft along to .. you can make heaps of these in no time great teacher gifts, craft fair idea... or just for fun.
I just love making book type projects. And this one is so easy and great to use up that DSP you maybe have slightly hoarded ! I love how this turned out and feel it would make a great gift this Christmas and be perfect for those craft stalls.
This cute book is made up of 12 envelope pockets using the envelope punch board. Each holds a 2 x 4" tag and each tag has a month of the year calendar sheet on. The tags are finished off with pretty ribbon to prom the user to interact and pull the tag out. bound super simply with binder rings. This project could not be easier.
Add a cute front cover and your project is complete. here I layered more DSP onto card then added a pretty stamped die cut sentiment. Voila finished. The little chunky book measures apron 4 1/4 x 3 1/4" so it fits nicely in the hand.
I do have a full step by step tutorial for you to follow on my YouTube I would love you to watch and then create one of these yourself. All the measurements and products used are listed below. If you wish to purchase any items used simply click my shop button.
Have a great day and .... happy stamping xxx Amanda

cut 12 sheets of DSP to 6 x 6" on the punch board use the 2 5/8" mark to punch and score.
Add holes to the left side of each envelope by measuring 1" up from the bottom and one inch down from the top and 1/4" inwards... make a pencil mark and punch holes for the rings.
For the tags cut 12 lots at 4 x2" and layer with DSP cut at 1 7/8 x 3 7/8" I finished the tops with the scallop tag topper punch then added ribbon.
Front cover card stock is 3 1/4 x 4 1/2" layer with DSP cut at 3 x 4" Product List
CUTE ALERT !! who doesn't love handbags ? I sure do and I love creating them from paper. Combine this with chocolate and your on to a winner for sure for those craft fairs or Christmas gifts. These are great for co-workers and teachers too.
Not a new idea but I added my own touch and used current Stampin' Up! products. See how we use the cute iridescent boxwood wreaths as a handle for our handbag! The wreaths are wired so easily bent to which shape you want and have the cute iridescent sheen to them.
The Champagne foil sheet looks lush against the foiled Joyous Noel DSP ( paper ) making for an eye-catching, cute mini gift.
So simple to make and this idea can be adapted for any size of treat ... just bear in mind to use the tag topper punch you can not exceed 2" in width but you can extend the height and depth.
I have a fast and fun step by step video tutorial for you to watch so grab a brew, get comfy and enjoy the video.

Furiously creating projects in my room today to help inspire for the upcoming craft firs. This little cutie is just perfect and using minimal supplies but with a great wow factor these are a guaranteed winning project.
Not a new idea hey we have been using file holder the things forever, but this one is created to my specific measurements to fit the paper pad I created by cutting up copier paper. The folder is created with the use of the envelope punch board super simple. Adding mini stamped words to the tabs makes it eye-catching and ...CUTE.
My main focus is the stunning Floral frames stamp, which cuts out beautifully with the matching thinlits. So easy and the grey granite ink has a subtle look yet is still prominent.

Oh my actual days how cute is this gift idea. I totally pinched it from Pinterest there are heaps of photos showing this idea and I LOVE IT. So I set about last week searching high and low for these mini coffee cups in the UK and when I saw them in Asda I nearly had a fit ! I kid you not I loved on them ...mine mine mine I said, my daughter thought I had gone quite mad. These are like 10pence each how awesome !.
So with mini coffee cups in hand I set about re creating what I had seen on Pinterest. Now not all cups are the same size, so I did make my own measurements to fit my cups which I will leave below along with dimensions of my cups..... every little helps right ?
So whats are these for well ... you can put sweet treats in these for a cool gift. If I were doing a craft fair I would wrap them in cellophane or some sort of clear gusseted bag with a ribbon at the top ... a great stocking filler or co worker gift, teacher gift etc etc.
Why not give it a try ? I have a full step by step tutorial love on my Youtube for you to craft along to. All my measurements are listed below along with products I used..... so go grab a brew , get comfy and enjoy the video.
Happy Christmas crafting xxxx Amanda
