Adding the participation in a weekly artisan market to my schedule has been keeping me out of trouble
. It forces me to create new goodies (to replenish what sells), and has taught me to use my crafting time during the week wisely.
Post-it notepads are pretty popular - these are 3x3 inches square with a mini-gel pen. Pattern can be found in this post.
Mini grapevine heart wreath, October Afternoon Cherry Hill papers & stickers. Doily and metal-rimmed tag; mother-of-pearl button is from etsy.
Another one with same basic materials/layout; Adage Ticket and wood heart button. These go for around $6 each.
I recycle my strip scraps (and extra pages from October Afternoon's Flashcard Books) - notch one end, adhere vertically and randomly to a horizontal, narrow (one inch wide typically) scrap of cardstock that is slightly shorter than the width of the bag. Run unit through sewing machine. Adhere unit to bag. These bags with handles are for multiple card purchases (I wrap purchases in tissue paper first, then insert into bag) or larger items. Bags are roughly 8x10 inches.
These bags are non-gusseted, and about 6x10 inches - for single card purchases. It's a great way to get rid of scraps quickly and effectively, and customers absolutely love and rave about them. Hope you're having a great week!
October Afternoon Farm Girl papers, Papertrey Ink kraft cardstock bases. Finished card sizes: each 5.5 x 4.25 inches. A 5mm silver pearl embellishes each butterfly - Memory Box Finn and Delia butterfly dies used.

Inspired by this pinterest clipping by Audrey Ann; October Afternoon Farm Girl papers, Divine Twine, new Memory Box dies (Pippi and Isabella butterflies).
Card base is Fabriano Album style for a luxurious feel. This was my neighbor's birthday card for her 55th. Hope you are having a great start to a new week!
Both these lines from October Afternoon are arriving in the store this week - Make It Merry is arriving tomorrow and Farm Girl is arriving Friday - looks like between carving a Thanksgiving turkey I'll be carving out playtime with paper...
October Afternoon Midway Tin Pins and circle tags (Staples store) used with colorful hair-ties. I made a set back in 2008 here and they lasted a good while. I made another set two years ago, and the kids fought over whose was whose.
I cut a corrugated paper insert for the handmade envelope to protect today's embelllished card when shipped.
Calla lily (Michaels) flowers, linen fabric and Divine Twine were arranged into a Ranger 1x3 Memory Frame with Capsule. All cardstocks edged with Distress Walnut Stain ink. Memory Box Arboscello Tree cut from kraft cardstock. Card front features burlap fabric stitched into place.
Finished card measures 4.25 x 6.5 inches.
Handmade envelope: used Envelope Gum (new to store) - I applied a very thin layer using my finger (easy clean up - ha) - dry time is about 30 minutes. Simply moisten and seal.
Detail of embellishment. Happy Thursday!
Still loving the gray front door. Today's project was inspired by Danni Reid. Door knocker insert is about 4.5 inches in diameter - uses Witch Hazel components. Happy Thursday!
