Stocking Stuffers


Business stuff: To have enough inventory for the fairs we craft/create 9 months of the year! You can't make money if you don't have any stuff left to sell. We bring items ranging in price from $75 to $3. Most people don't plan on spending $250 on a 12 x 12 scrapbook BUT they will pay $75 for a smaller pre-made one. You should also carry smaller, lower ($3-$5) priced items, we call them Stocking Stuffers! We normally locate these near the check out stand and we point them out as customers shop or check out. Sometimes for a large order, we throw some in to say thank you for spending your money in our booth!
Onto the stocking stuffers...
These are little glassine bags filled with Stash green teas. Each bag has 2 tea bags, Chia and raspberry  pomagranete. Perfectly colored individual tea bags-evergreen green and holly berry red! The paper topper is a PTI die called mat stack 4. I simply folded it in half and glued it to the top of the glassine sack.
 The sentiment stamp is from a set I got @ Hobby Lobby. The tea cup stamp (and matching die) is also from PTI. The small buttons are from my button stash and it is threaded with white waxed thread. The wax makes it easier to thread through the small holes, and to 
handle with my sore hands...
I used pop dots to "POP" the tea cup off the topper. Then I tucked the sentiment flag behind.
I think these are soooo cute. Who wouldn't appreciate this little bit of love given to them?...
