More shaped cards and a couple of other bits...

I made these shaped cards after watching this fab demo on YouTube. I used 12x4" pieces of Bazzill cardstock. The dad card is for my dad for father's Day and is my entry for the current MSE Card Challenge. Big thanks to the lovely Paddington for the fab Secret Garden papers x

This is a mini card holding a teabag inside with a little poem. It's my first go at making one and I hope to make them to sell at the craft fair I'm doing in August. I followed the instructions on this site but to make next time I will make mine slightly taller. I used a piece of ribbon to tie the card as the thickness of the sachet means the card doesn't sit flat. Do you think this would sell at a craft fair?
This is another possible craft fair item, it's a post it note holder. I followed these instructions and it was so easy and quick to make. I am going to make them for my son's teachers as an end of year pressie. The post it note pad is from Tesco, 24p and the pen from a pack of mini pens from Staples (in the sale, 99p for 3 pens). Again, would you buy this at a craft fair? Need to have a think about prices!

  3. The cards are fantastic!

    I made some of the post it note holders and took them to a very small craft fair and sold one, but I did have A LOT of interest in them. I was asking £2 each or 2 for £3, mainly because they were very cheap and easy to make.
