Baby Shower Favors

My brother-in-law is a pastor in New Jersey and for a few years now
I have made favors for him to bring with him when he visits one
of the people from his church when they are in the hospital or home-bound.
Basically all the favors I have made for him are the simple Candy Bar Slider
that I have made for years and it is one of the top sellers at our craft sales.

One day he was the guest speaker at the Christian School and he took
along one of the Candy Bar Sliders as a teaching tool/visual effect for what
he was talking about. Was I ever surprised when I got an email stating
that one of the teachers LOVED the Candy Bar Slider idea and wanted to
purchase some for her daughters baby shower.
Would I be willing to make some for her?
YOU BET!!

This is what I came up with for her...


So I packed them all up and shipped them to New Jersey!

The stamp set I used here is called Bear Hugs,
one of the Build a Bear collection stamps.

Thanks For Stopping By!

Have a Blessed Day!!

Craft Sale

One of the top sellers at the craft sales (for me) seem to be my Candy Bar Sliders.  These are so much fun how you pull on the ribbon and ooohhh – out pops a candy bar!! One gal (last year) bought them for all her hair clients and attached her business card to the candy bar.  But think how sweet it would be to pull it out and not only do you get chocolate but a gift card attached!!!  Another lady (last year) bought them to put at the place settings for her family members for their Thanksgiving dinner.  These, of course, are just a sample of the Christmas ones we sold at the craft sale.  Sue actually sold a ton of Halloween themed candy bar sliders at Saturday’s craft sale.  Way to go Sue!!

 

My friend showed these candy bar sliders to her friend who is a RED HAT LADY and she asked me to make special ones designed for her group of Red Hat Ladies so this is what I came up with… Aren’t they cute??  She LOVED them!

THEN… she and her group of ladies were going on a trip together and she asked me to make more and gave me the theme of “Wine and Cheese” so after scratching my head a bit, this is what I came up with…

I just love that little mouse!  The tag says “If you give a mouse some cheese… she will probably want some wine and crackers to go with it.”

Want to make some of your own?  Just cut your designer paper to 6x6 score on one side at 1/2” fold on score line, then fold in half. Use red line sticky strip tape to seal side and bottom.  Then using your crimper, crimp the bottom edge just a bit – about 4 lines worth.  Using your crop-o-dile punch a hole through both layers at the top using the smaller of the two punches.  Insert 16” of 1/4” ribbon, push in your candy bar, adjust the lengths of your ribbon, then tie.  Decorate as desired.  If you make some I would love to see what you have done so please share pictures with me.
