Wicked Fun Pencil Holders

This is an item I will be selling at my craft fair a week from Saturday. I am getting everything ready and will share some pictures of some of the items in the next week. This idea was CASEd from Dawn Griffith's Treat Pouch. You can substitute candy (pixie sticks or twizzlers) for the pencils. I think this is super cute and you could change up the pencils and papers for almost any holiday or occasion. You can find the pencils in the dollar store or Target dollar spot section.

Wicked Cool Swap Card

This past Sunday was our team meeting and we were to CASE (Copy & Share Everything) a card from the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalog. The card I chose is on Page 124 and I did change it up a bit. I used a different Designer Series Paper and that is how I got the color scheme for the card stock and stamp. I used a different embossing folder as well and I changed up the DSP. In the card in the catalog the 1" squares are nicely pieced towards the bottom of the card. On my sample I went with more of a collage look gluing most of them on top of each other. On the samples I had to make sure the "Wicked" and the candlestick showed in the black & white paper to match the stamp. The paper is so much fun for Halloween cards and favors (more to come on that later).
