Burleydam Craft Fair

Last Saturday I had a table at the Craft Fair at Burleydam Garden Centre near Chester. I really enjoyed the day meeting new people and catching up with old friends. I demonstrated the new Magnetic Platform from Stampin Up which was very popular. Unfortunately it is no longer available to order until early Autumn. Demand has far outweighed supply. Three people were able to order it on the day before the deadline of  at 7.00am the following morning.

I also demonstrated the Jumbo and Standard Wheels, the Flower Shop Stamp Set with matching Pansy Punch and the Papillon Potpourri Stamps and two matching Butterfly Punches.

People liked the Mini Albums especially the Squashy Books and the Circle Albums. I decorated chocolate bars and filled some of our mini bags with candy. The Petite Purses and Milk Cartons on display were also filled with chocolate goodies.

Purple Cards.

I had fun making the above card using the Scallop Square Die which is retiring at the end of this month.
I couldn't find directions on the Internet so i had fun working it out!
The Hydrangea stamp is from the Best of Flowers set which is available from Stampin Up this month..

I used the Scallop Edgelit with the matching embossing folder for this card. The sentiment is from the Trust God Stamp Set punched out with the 1 3/4 inch Scallop Circle punch.
I used the Blossom Punch for the backing and stamped and punched out the butterflies using the Papillon Potpourri Stamps with the matching punch.

School Fair at Prenton Prep school.

 I enjoyed making all of these goodies for a School fair last Saturday.
First up is a photo of the Post it Note Holders, Notepads and Sweetie Bags!
The Brights Paper Stack was used for the Note Pads with the Feel Goods Stamp Set and the Butterfly Punch.

The covered chocolate bars were popular especially with Father's Day the following day.
I used the retired Fox and Friends Stamp Set. I am so glad that I have kept it as it is so useful for children's items.

I used the Subtles Card Stock for the Milk Cartons. I am so glad that I got that Big Shot Die!
The Boho Blossoms Punch was used for the flower embellishments.
I used the Stamping Around Wheel to decorate them and then filled them with M&Ms.

I used the Brights Cardstock for the Petite Purses which were filled with Maltesers.
I used the Boho blossoms Punch for the fastenings.

The Owl Bookmarks were very popular. There must be a lot of Dads who like reading.
The Owl Builder Punch makes such a cute owl.

Best of Flowers Card.

At the Training Day in Telford we were given the Best of Flowers Stamp Set. I decided to combine it with a Sentiment from the Trust God Stamp set. I love Melon Mambo and I have not used it in a while so I decided to do a monochromatic card with it.
One of the finishing touches Edgelits was used for the border and the flower was made with three flowers from the Fancy Flowers Punch. A Vintage Faceted Button was put in the middle with a flower stamped with a stamp from Tiny Tags before it was punched out using one of the Itty Bitty Punches.
A Rhinestone Basic Jewel finished it off.

Here is a close up of the flower.
