Is the Christmas tradition punch box still available? Thank you for craft ideas

[@PaperedChef]

Laura Moore Sorry I missed your questions months ago. The Christmas Traditions Punch Box was only available during last year’s Holiday Catalog. If you would like this year’s Holiday Catalog, please Request one on my contact form. PaperedChef.stampinup.net

[@snoppy1038]

wow!!! You, have created alot of cute christmas projects.. Can, you do a tuturial on how you create some of your christmas crafts. I, would like to learn how to make some of this.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Marlene, I did create hundreds of tutorials on my channel. You can search for craft fairs, 3d paper crafts and/or the name of the types of projects. You will find loads of tutorials. I also have lots of classes on the ScanNCut if you have one. You can find tutorials there. thepaperedchef.com/brother-scanncut-courses

[@snoppy1038]

@@PaperedChef Thanks, but all the videos (i have watched) from other you tubers dont show how these LADIES make their CHRISTMAS Crafts. Their, similiar to yours. They, just show and talk about what they made. I, cant learn by looking at something already made.. I, wish i owned a scan and cut machine. But , i dont own one.. i, will go back and look at some of your videos, most are showing stuff done with a scan and cut machine.. I, seen a video earlier you done with the lip balm holders that i can start making.. Thank You for reaching out to me.. Have a Good Evening

[@tarabeard]

Love the way you put the ingredients on the nuggets. Would never have thought of that. Everything looks awesome!

[@PaperedChef]

I'm glad you like that idea Tara. Thanks so much for watching.

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Rondi! It’s never too early to get into the Christmas spirit. I hope you can apply many of these concepts to your own crafts.

[@colleenknudsen9590]

I grew up in San Francisco where the chocolate is made. It’s pronounced Gee are deli. Your creations are adorable!

[@PaperedChef]

Colleen, I missed this before but I am gearing up for some more Gee are deli projects this seasons so thank you for your easy way of remembering the pronunciation. I have a hard time with this word - still!

[@shannoncarlson6960]

I enjoyed watching your video. I would love to see you actually selling something completely made by you. Not a box or card with store brought products inside, but rather YOUR product completely. You are talented.

[@PaperedChef]

Shannon Carlson Thanks Shannon. I do sell cards and tags made completely by me and aprons, doll clothes, and bags made completely by my Mom who is an amazing seamstress. Even though she bakes and I can too, when we sell homemade goods, we have to take classes and get a health certificate for each place you sell homemade goods. It isn’t worth the time and effort. You are safer when you sell pre-made items. People don’t have to wonder what’s inside.

[@kathleenchan1897]

I feel inspired to start making projects early...like July. You make the cutest things...thank you for sharing your crafts!...Kathy from Hawaii🌺🌻🌹

[@PaperedChef]

My friend Annette said that I needed to do a Christmas in July special and that around Christmas time do a July 4th special. In other words, mix it up to give viewers lots of time to prepare projects. I am so glad you found my holiday projects and can put them to good use. That is what I like about KZbin. My old videos keep resurfacing and helping people.

[@philcolynn]

[@mobilemcc]

I'm teaching with the Merry & Bright stamp set and was wondering if you punched out all the foil toppers or if you used the SNC to cut a bunch?

[@PaperedChef]

When I have a punch, I prefer to use it for things that are so small. So, my trick is to make a 1/4" strip and then only punch the top of the bulbs so you are not wasting foil on the large part of the bulbs. I hope that makes sense.

[@marcyfarrell5369]

Make It Your Own Thanks! You are the second person to tell me that after I thought I finally got it right. I need to make another video just to try out.

[@lindaniemeyer7575]

I wish you lived nearby so I could actually learn to use my Scan &Cut2! How do your tutorial come? Videos online? I want them all but need that little Wheatie guy on my shoulder to guide me till I build up my confidence!! Do you recommend which videos would be best to start out with for a newbie! I too am a SU demo and would LOVE to learn to cut out our images!!!!

[@PaperedChef]

Linda, I AM the little Wheatie Guy. LOL. I will guide you. My courses are more comprehensive than my KZbin tutorials because I go into much more detail and you learn step-by-step what to do by working on your own projects with your own materials. Then, you can practice and share what you learn. Here are all of my courses.

[@suemerritt1679]

I love this video! I have a hard time knowing what to charge... Would like to do a fall or Christmas "fair". I have products, but don't know how to price things. Any suggestions? 😘

[@tarabeard]

I have so many questions! 🤷‍♀️ Do you have a video on how to make the pizza boxes?I didn’t see it in the link.

[@TheCheri115]

Great items!! They are all so adorable!! Where is the links for the items you mentioned? Thank you much! Cheri

[@PaperedChef]

Vintage Couture Cheri, thanks for your patience. I was able to add some links. It is a work in progress because I not only used Stampin’ Up! products, I also used products from several stores online. Wobble springs are my favorite and even though I could probably make these, I just love the self stick ready made ones. Wobbles: amzn.to/2CGPnxT

[@Artiefrog]

Awesome ideas would love to know what you sell items for

[@PaperedChef]

Artiefrog Susan and Maria also asked me this. The prices always vary depending on my table fee, clientele, supplies, etc. the items in this video ranged from about $2 to $6 with the Snowman Soup being my cheapest item. Always offer discounts for buying in bulk. $3 or 2 for $5. Also, you can always lower your prices but can never raise them throughout the day.

[@Artiefrog]

Papered Chef thank you

[@susansanders9332]

Great ideas ‼️🎄 it would be great if you had told us what you charged for each diff type . Or at least approximately. I never know what to charge for these types of things.

Wait...You MADE the mini coffee cups??? What about the lids???

[@christirh3760]

Nevermind...found them on Amazon.

[@PaperedChef]

No silly, I didn’t make the cups. I just covered the cups using the dies I linked in the description which fit perfectly on the cups. You buy the cups and lids and the decorate them. • Mini Coffee Cups and Lids: amzn.to/2ur1B7I

Great ideas! Love all of your projects. I signed up for your Scan N Cut courses, and shared your info in a video on my channel. I'm so excited to start the online course later on today. Thanks again for the wonderful tutorials!

[@PaperedChef]

yoliebean Thanks so much for the shout out! I’m so glad you discovered my channel yesterday. I’m a new subscriber to your channel as well. I’ve learned so much since the time I created my first SNC tutorial. I feel like I have an endless supply of content to share about that awesome machine and time is my only limitation.

great video!

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks Cake! Great name.

[@sandylincoln4558]

Hi, What do you typically charge for the hershey's nugget treat bags?

[@PaperedChef]

It depends on what I pay for my table, what kind of event it is, and what the market allows me to charge. I would say $3 to $5. You can sell them for $4 and then have a special for 3 for $10 or something like that. Also, try to get the Nuggets on sale or try to find coupons for them.

[@suezannestovall6452]

Hi, love your tutorial. Where did you buy the mini pizza boxes from?

[@PaperedChef]

Suezanne, they are in my Stampin' Up! store. Here is the link. There are specials going on for the next few days as well and we often have sales. The mini pizza boxes are very sturdy and easy to decorate. Everyone loves them. • Mini Pizza Boxes -- bit.ly/2M3uocQ

[@supplyhoarder]

[@PaperedChef]

I started adding links to my other tutorials and to some of the products. It will take me a while. Thanks for watching and for your patience.

[@judiththompson3120]

How much for the nuggets packs?

[@PaperedChef]

It depends on the venue. From $3 to $5 is a good price. Thanks for watching.

[@lorrainebrown109]

Love this video. Great ideas. Thank you for sharing. How much do you charge for them?

[@PaperedChef]

Lorraine, I will try to make a video or even a course on how to charge for craft fair items, workshops, etc. So much goes into this. It depends on my audience and how much I pay for my tables. I have spent anywhere from $5 to over $100 for a table. I of course must charge about a dollar more per item when I pay a lot for a table. I try to price things at $3 and then offer them 2 for $5. That would be something like the candy spoon. My Snowman soup has sold from anywhere from $1 to $3. You also have to know what you are going to do with items which don't sell. I send so many care packages to troops, friends, family, my Stampin' Up! team members, etc. I go to craft fairs to share my joy of crafting and to share my creations. I also make contacts for my business and give out flyers for my upcoming workshops. I never consider them a waste, even if I don't make a lot. I will try to make videos explaining all of this and explaining what I know are hot sellers. I hope you subscribed to my channel and please check out my entire Craft Fair play list.

[@lorrainebrown109]

Oh, that would be nice. I'm always on the fence about charging.

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Is it safe to ship chocolate? It won’t melt?

[@PaperedChef]

Just don’t ship it to the tropics or Middle East. It should be ok to ship it around the US in the Fall and Winter. I do it all of the time.

[@KarolinasKrafts]

Papered Chef thank you! How much do you charge when you sell online for the Hershey’s ones? With the fees and everything

[@PaperedChef]

KarolinasKrafts Hi, I just saw your follow-up question. I would charge $5 for Nugget treats online due to all of the extra work of selling them that way. I would much rather sell them in person. Online, there are listing fees, promotion fees, selling fees, free shipping specials and not to mention driving to the Post Office to mail the chocolate and hoping it doesn’t freeze or melt, depending on where it is going.

Did you use an adhesive gun for these. I can't seem to find one anywhere. Just the glue guns. Do you have a link?

[@PaperedChef]

Hi Lisa, I didn't use any hot glue for any of the craft fair projects that I showed. That is because it gets lumpy. I used the ATG or tape glider a lot, foam dimensionals and even liquid glue. Here is the link to the ATG. I have 3 of these so that I don't have to stop and refill them a lot. amzn.to/2qZdEHI

Hi Ginny, Thanks for watching. Here is a link to the cute little cups. If you get real serious about it like I am, you can get massive amounts of them from restaurant supply stores.

What is a wobble?

[@PaperedChef]

Thanks for watching Ann. A wobble is just a spring. I'm addicted to them and my customers love them. So do my gift recipients. People love playing with the embellishments which wobble. They make mini springs like the ones I will link to and larger ones which are harder to hide. You use the larger ones on heavy items. Wobble your Santa: amzn.to/2CGPnxT

[@ceciliasosa2858]

Honey thank you so much

[@catsanddogsgoingwild771]

What do price your products at, pls

[@PaperedChef]

Oh it all depends on my market. Sometimes, I sell my crafts at flea markets and have to charge half of the price. For example, a mini pizza box can be $3 or 2 for $5 at a flea market whereas the same thing can be sold for $5 each at an upscale craft fair. I say upscale meaning that I have to pay $100+ for a table. Whenever I pay a lot for a table, I have to charge more. Then, I get more foot traffic as well. You can always lower your prices but not raise them. Never expect to get back your $ for the time and labor you put into it. It is a labor of love and you have to want to share your creations. Then, you will happier with the outcome. Thanks for watching.

[@TheCreativeChica]

Cute! Link please😊
