Wanna buy a piece of the Monkey?

I'm trying a new adventure this weekend: I'm having a table at a local crafts fair.

Now, normally I'd be better prepared. But I stopped into the Ben Wilson Senior Center,580 Delmont Avenue in Warminster, about five weeks ago when I saw signs that their annual craft show was coming up. They had no room, all sold out -- "but would you like me to put your name on a waiting list?"  Sure. Two days ago I got the call that a table could be had -- for tomorrow.  So I'm scrambling.

SHOW HOURS:
Friday, November 15 - 5 to 8 p.m.
Saturday, November 16 - 8 am to 2 p.m.

Here are two things I've made to sell, in addition to the cards that I'll have of course!  These are both gift card holders. 

For the owl (left), the gift card or cash can be slipped between the antlers ("on an owl??" hubby asked).

I made this using a modified file from the Silhouette Online store, cut with my Cameo.


This cute reindeer is a gift card holder that we made as part of my Craft Class at Kathy Davis Studios. The file, too, is from the Silhouette Online Store (love that place!!) with just a few extra embellishments to make it fun.

I plan to have these for sale for $3.00 each, or 4 for $10. Do you think that's a fair price?

I plan to sell my cards for the same. After the craft show, my cards will be available exclusively at Domenic Graziano Flowers & Gift Stores. Graziano's has three stores including the Artisan Marketplace in Southampton, PA; in Warminster, PA; and, in Doylestown, PA.  Domenic plans to put my cards in all three locations, beginning next week!  Prices will range from $5 to $10 each, depending on the complexity of the card. Watch for your favorite CardMonkey hitting the stores soon! :)

Krazy Crafting Crew - Gift Card Holder Blog Hop, Sunday 11/3

It is that time of year again when Santa is looking for the perfect gift. And how often do you hear (or wish you heard!?) "gift cards, please." Gift cards sure make shopping easy -- but what do you do if you want to make the gift a little more personalized?

Well, if you were a member of the Krazy Crafting Crew or if you'd like to follow our lead, you will have made some gift card holders to have on hand to make your gift giving all the more special this holiday season.

On this very special Hop hosted by Janet Royer, you'll find crafters' ideas to make your own VSGC's (*Very Special Gift Card) Holders.  Be sure to hop on through and leave comments to be eligible for blog candy sponsored by our hostess. 

My project:
For my project, I made this adorable "library card jacket" stuffed with a sweet reindeer that holds a gift card. The cut is by Silhouette's Online Store. I added the googly wobble eyes, the small pom-poms at the holly and the sparkly pom for the nose.  The holly is punched using a Martha Stewart punch. I tied on baker's twine and a darling jingle bell.
 
Your Next Stop:
