7 Days of Craft Fair - Day 3 - To Go Coffee Cups

I think these cups would go really well at a craft fair in Tucson. Yes - I did get my engineering degree from the University of Arizona - Go Wild Cats!

These coffee cups can be found at your local Dollar Tree. Embellish them with vinyl and you're all set for your craft show. Be sure to put hand wash only on the note you put on the inside - that way the vinyl will stay on for a long time.

I used Old West Cricut cartridge and vinyl to complete this coffee cup. I used my gypsy to weld the Bear Down shadow and cut the letters out at 1" (The welded shadow is 2" top to bottom). Then I applied the vinyl using transfer tape. Of course you don't need to do that - I just prefer to use it.

You can buy vinyl on Amazon here.  It's about .50 per 6"x12" sheet, and you can make a lot of coffee mugs for cheap this way!

Today's Craft Fair Tip: Items that represent a local college or highschool will grab the attention of the locals who are shopping. Unique items that they can't buy in the store will most likely sell well!

Christmas Card - I Triple Dog Dare You

We interrupt our 7 days of craft fair items to bring you this special card I made for Dustin Pike's funny card challenge.  I was inspired by this digi stamp and the movie A Christmas Carol to come up with this card.  I used Cuttle bug snowflake embossing and the snowflake is cut form Cricut Cartridge When It's Cold Outside.  Anyway - I hope you like it!

Here's the inside!

7 Days of Craft Fair - Day 2 - Embellished Journals

Embellished Journals make terrific craft fair items and they are so easy to do!

I picked up these journals and matching cards at Michaels last month for .50 each!

I used cricut markers to trace the letters. This font is from the StoryBook cartridge - drawn at 1".

The scalloped circle and inner circle are from Elegant Edges cartridge cut at 1".

Then I used stickles to pretty it up.

I made these for the girls in my bible study this month.

We just finished the book of Revelations - boy was that action packed!

If you make these for a craft fair, you can monogram on site with your cricut markers and Cricut, or you can use other embellishments instead.

Today's Craft Fair Tip:

Stock up on cheap journals when you find them throughout the year!
