I love those Christmas planners. They would make a great gift. TFS and good luck with your sales. They are all well worth it. People don’t realise the work involved in home made items. 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜
Adding "Gratitude Journal" to the front of those books would help sell them. All really cute gift ideas. I have a craft fair this Saturday. Wish I had seen this sooner.
These projects are simply darling! You specifically asked about the price of the planner but I honestly think you should be charging more for all of these things. Your time is valuable and these are unique and absolutely adorable. It’s clear how much care you put into them.
I appreciate your sweet comments 😊 I bet every crafter feels like they never make what their items are worth. I do love creating, I'm so glad it shows, thank you ♡
Customers at craft fairs almost never take into consideration how much time goes into crafting an item and will almost never be willing to pay what our crafts should actually be worth.
In your Christmas planner, you might want to tuck a few blank recipe cards in a pocket by the menu section - they could write out their favorite recipes and glue them in
Definitely have a sample that folks can actually leaf through and touch. Your work is very creative and beautiful. I especially liked the Christmas planner. $15 is not too much!! And I would promote it for several years use. I like to record what gifts I give and also the gifts we receive. Glad that I found your channel. I can hear the excitement in your voice!
Beautiful work you’ve done. I’m not so sure younger people adults as well as teens would use them because of the iPhones etc they carry. So many programs are at their finger tips. I wish the younger would go back to books for many things but todays technology Is jumping. Of course my age group grannies etc still depend on things in writing. I love notebooks for all ways of life. Still to this day I have calendars and different sizes of notebooks. Id have a field day going through your collection. Your pricing is pretty good. $3,5,10,12.50 are my hopes when shopping. So you are pretty good on your pricing. Beautiful work.
Thank you so much 😊 I am like you and love writing things down still. My daughter is younger and she loves them too, so I'm thankful for that. I appreciate your comments ♡
I just stumbled on your video, and enjoyed it alot. I do one craft fair a year. I have a sample for everything that is sealed in plastic . It really helps alot for the customers to be able to see all they are purchasing. I wish you good luck at your fair and look forward to the video after to see how you did.
Thanks for sharing all of your beautiful crafts! I think having samples out for customers is a great idea - they can actually see the entire product. Your payment display (picture frame) is very clever. Good luck at your next event.
I love this video! I'd like to make things for craft fairs when I stop working (or when my part-time job really becomes part-time!) and your video gives so many ideas for less expensive things. Looking forward to your holiday craft fair followup!
Your items are lovely. Having sample items out for people to be able to look at and handle is a great idea. I know when I go shopping, it is much appreciated when I am able to get a feel for what I'm looking to purchase. Hope you do well and God bless you.
I think the Christmas planner is genius- make sure you mention you can use them several years running. From a practical standpoint it would be so useful, and also a wonderful thing to share family recipes and traditions. I wonder if you could go $25 on the planner but add some pockets or frames for pictures and to keep recipe cards and receipts?
I like the fact that you say how much you sell it for. Where did you get your cellophane bags? I think I would start the xmas planner out at $15 and then lower the price if they don't sell if you really want to sell them. I use the square and it works great.
Thank you for your suggestion! I buy most of my clear bags from Amazon. When I can't find the size I'm looking for then I buy them from clearbags.com ♡
I love everything that you made. Couple of questions for you: where did you purchase all of your cellophane bags? I love the recipe book that you made. Where they photo albums that you started with? Where did you purchase them from? Did you buy the recipe cards or just print them offline? Great mix of products to sell. I hope your show is successful.
Thank you so much! 😃 I buy most of my clear bags from Amazon but a few I got from clearbags.com . Yes, the recipe keepers are made with photo albums and I get from the Dollar Tree. The recipe cards I ordered from Amazon, but I really had to search for the cheapest ones to keep my cost low. I hope that helps ♡
So many awesome goodies!! The place setting labels can also be marketed as labels for food! Great for work places/potlucks & people with allergies too.
Shanda, I found your channel my accident....I'm glad that I did. I am participating in two craft shows in early December. I love some of your ideas. I think that I will try making the tea (3) packs... You have some great products!!! I hope that you do well at your show!!
The Christmas Planners are great!! However, I think doing a Budget Planner like how you do the Christmas one is a great idea worth considering. 😊 you are very talented! I just subscribed and loving this channel!
Thank you so much 😊 That's a good idea, I will keep that in mind. I've been thinking about making a password keeper, since we have so many online passwords to remember now. I'm so glad you are enjoying my contention ❤️
I love each and every one of your items! You are so creative & clever! Your packaging is so professional too. I wish you lots of luck at your sale. I would love to make one of the Recipe Holder Folders for someone. Could you guide me as to where I can see a tutorial on them plz? I think you will sell out all of your items. ❤
@nynurse2 Thank you SO much! I get lots of ideas from other people so I can't take all the credit. I wil try to make a tutorial soon for the Recipe Keepers... until then you can find a tutorial here ♡ th-cam.com/video/dOqFsanLdhU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=g2RstkWJ2FfldU9T
I don't think $15 is too much for your Christmas journals. Like you said they can be used for multiple years. Your items are packaged beautifully! Curiosity question. If you sold everything that you take, will it cover the cost of your booth?
Thank you! Yes, if I sold everything it would cover my booth cost and a very good profit. I don't ever do shows that have a high vendor fee. I'm doing two shows in November, one cost me $90 and the other $25. Thanks for letting me know your opinion on my Christmas planners ♡
Thanks for sharing! I would love to know more about the tea and honey pockets (I.e. exactly what do you put in the pocket and how did you make it). Thanks!
@pamelafowler4406 Thank you 😊 I will give you my email so you can let me know what you're interested in. I'm not sure where you live or what I have available but we can discuss it. Email me at: shanda.simplecreations@yahoo
Your Christmas Planners are beautiful and well thought-out. Each section is beautifully decorated and well worth $15.00. I would not decrease the price. You do beautiful work, and I wish you much success in your future craft fairs. I make beautiful vintage, 3-D, highly decorated greeting cards. I sell them for $10.00 each at the beauty shop I attend, and I do well.
Great ideas and cute items. I think you could sell those first few items for more $$$. The only thing I thought might have been a bit high was the place setting cards. Just done friendly feedback. They are all beautifully done.
I have had 3 craft fairs already, Saturday was my last one. I am planning to do a video soon on how I did. There's lots of preparation for this kind of video so it will probably be after Thanksgiving. Thank for the suggestion 🙂
Hi! I love all of your items!! I have a ton of 12x12 cardstock and was waiting for the right items to make with it. I'm so excited to make these, I am a notebook lover! What size/how many pages is the Christmas planner?
Yay! I'm so glad you were inspired 😃 The base I use for this is just an average composition notebook, the ones with the black and white design on the front. I'll put a link below to the ones I buy. I get mine at Walmart buy they do sell them at Dollar tree. Thank you ♡ Pen + Gear Composition Book, Wide Ruled, 100 Pages, 9.75" x 7.5"x 0.25" www.walmart.com/ip/103474220
Thank you so much 😊 It's real lace ribbon. I have three different ones that I use... the one with a big scalloped edge I get from Hobby lobby over in the fabric section where the ribbon is. The other two are from Walmart and Dollar tree ♡
i loved the recipe books..what and where did you get the base you put recipe cards and paper in. i woukd make a few of these!! Did you create the recipe cards so they fit in the plastic sleeve.??
Thank you 😊 I used photo albums I got from Dollar Tree. I did not make the recipe cards, I bought them from Amazon. I'll put the link below to the ones I got ♡ *Recipe cards: a.co/d/a0ZW2bd
IMO, you are underselling your awesome talent! If there was absolutely no material cost to you to create these items, your time and talent are worth more than your asking price.
Thank you I appreciate your that! To be honest I never feel like I can charge what I feel items are really worth. Only because (most) shoppers don't understand the time that goes into making these crafts. So unfortunately I have to sell them for what people will pay. I still make a little profit but I'm basically working for free. Good thing I enjoy creating. Thank you 😊♡
Sometimes, it is not just about making money but putting a value on what your talent is worth to yourself. When you truly value your worth, others will recognize it, and the sales will follow. Remember that saying, "If you build it, they will come"? I believe in you. ❤
@lisamessinger2607 That truly touched me 😌 I appreciate your encouragement, more than you know. I pray the Lord will bless you for your kindness ...Thank you so much ❤️
I just found your video. Your papercrafts are adorable! Can I ask where you get the cute sayings on the journals and Hallmark movie boxes? I can’t imaging stamping and coloring each one. Thanks!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you are here! The things I put on the fronts of my notebooks are called Frames & tags and Journaling cards, I get them from echoparkpaper.com . As far as my Hallmark tags go... I created it myself using a blank template on Avery.com, printed them and then used some stamps I had to finish it. I tell about it in this video here th-cam.com/video/U5JcT7yzORk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MdFmxcOP1Sjvb7ne . Most people buy their Hallmark images from Pinterest but I've never done that. Hope that helps ♡
Thank you so much 😊 I buy most of my clear cellophane bags on Amazon. When I can't find a size I need I buy them on clearbags.com . If there's a particular size you are looking for let me know and I'd be happy to send you a link for it on Amazon
Thank you so much! Yes, I have tutorials on a few of my items I will post the links below. Which item would you like to see a tutorial on the most? I will try to post more soon ♡ Gift card envelope: th-cam.com/video/qbnX6CKHOxo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Yld32g1x7qGhx-cP Mini decorative notebooks: th-cam.com/video/GrMA_Rd7mFM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8wapL9xfjKja7LLG Fuzzy guy pencils: th-cam.com/video/33Zc--7jo1k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=uWhGlt4YuWMqCqx2
I willl try to make tutorials on those. I have had several requests for tutorials. With my craft shows coming up and the holidays too it may take me time to post them. Stay tuned ♡
Thank you so much 😊 I don't have a cricut I hand cut all of my crafts with a paper trimmer. You can watch tutorials on my channel for both the gift card and money holder cards. Here are the links for those: Money card... th-cam.com/video/pi6injWPJZs/w-d-xo.htmlsi=UCmvgCu6ttaxRH5x Gift card holder... th-cam.com/video/qbnX6CKHOxo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Q7KvU6ARP9aQCFCl
You could raise the price a bit on your smaller items I thought but for the planner. I thought it was too high in comparison. 10 you may do better. All of your items look awesome. The recipe holder was cool. Good luck hope you do well
Great idea... I have thought about that but wasn't exactly sure how to do it. I may add a display sign that gives ideas as to what they can be used for. Thank you ♡
I think you locked yourself in by calling them gratitude journals. I would definitely leave one out so the can see how beautiful they are inside and out. ☺️
That's a great suggestion. I actually didn't use the gratitude journal sign at my craft show yesterday and sold one 😀 I used the sign that says Journal/Notebook. Thank you ♡
Hi... I'm sorry I haven't done a tutorial on the Rock-tac-toe yet. I've had lots of people wanting a video on that one so keep watching, hopefully I can get it out soon. To answer your question about keeping the rocks in place.... they only stay in place when lying down flat. To help them somewhat stay in place when holding upright I made sure to put the largest rocks in first when packaging, that helped some with keeping the weight more at the bottom when picking them upright. Also, I used a clear bag that fit as tight as possible to try and keep them snug in the packaging. Here is a link to the size bags I used amzn.to/46YdSAd . Having 10 rocks in them they are pretty heavy once packaged, I'm not sure how that will work in a hanging stocking but good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions.
Now that my craft fairs are over I'm planning to do more tutorials. Of course the holidays are busy for us so I'll do my best to get that one out soon so keep watching for it. Thank you for asking 😊
I love those Christmas planners. They would make a great gift. TFS and good luck with your sales. They are all well worth it. People don’t realise the work involved in home made items. 🙏💜🙏💜🙏💜

Customers at craft fairs almost never take into consideration how much time goes into crafting an item and will almost never be willing to pay what our crafts should actually be worth.
The place cards can also be used to label food items at the buffet table. Tfs🙏🏾
That's a great idea!
That's a great idea! Thanks for suggesting ♡

The tic tac toe games are adorable! Such a great idea! $10 is a good price.
Thanks!

Yes it would! Thank you ♡

out of everything. Good luck.
Thank you 😊
Thanks for sharing what you made. All of them are so adorable!❤
You are welcome! Thank you so much 😊
$15.00 for a Christmas Planner is reasonable for a one that can be used several years, AND SO PRETTY AND FUN TO USE!
Thank you for your input ♡
Beautiful items & packaging. Hope you sell out.
Thank you ♡
I love the tea stocking stuffers.

Hi Carol 😃

I love your projects. It would make great gifts. I was wondering if you would be making tutorials or project shares on some of these items.
Thank you! I have several tutorial videos. If you go to my channel and click on videos you will see them there ♡
Everything looks great! You did an awesome job!
Thank you so much ♡

all the products are amazing but i think my favorite is the Santa letter with the app. That is a special gift
Thank you 😊 I love to know what people like most so thanks for sharing that!
Wow, I love all your items. Your work is beautiful. As a crafter, I know how difficult it is to find the perfect price point.
Thank you so much! Yes it can be challenging ♡
You have been very busy and creative. Thank you for sharing. 💕NonnaGrace 🐓
Yes I have! You are welcome ♡
I love each and every one of your items! You are so creative & clever! Your packaging is so professional too. I wish you lots of luck at your sale.

I don't think $15 is too much for your Christmas journals. Like you said they can be used for multiple years.
Your items are packaged beautifully!

Love the Christmas planner…I think your prices are right on target!!
Thank you! ♡
Your place setting cards would be great to say what food item or section is. Soups, salads, desserts etc.
It would be good for that! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks for sharing! I would love to know more about the tea and honey pockets (I.e. exactly what do you put in the pocket and how did you make it). Thanks!
You are welcome.
I will try to make a Tea favor tutorial soon!
In the meantime you can find a tutorial if you search Lyric Lover Crafts Tea Favors ♡
Amazing Video and I think your prices are more than reasonable. I hope you sell it all!!
Thank you SO much!! 😃
Is there a video showing how you made the Recipe Books, please? They're fabulous! xx
I have not made a tutorial on the Recipe Keepers yet but I have had requests for it. I will try to get that one out soon. Thank you for asking 😊
New here, do you have videos showing how you make each of these projects? They all look great.
@jeancooley4097
Hi there... I have several tutorial videos, you can find them on my channel. Thank you ♡
I add a couple 3x4 cardstock pieces under my “pocket” to make it not be so “tight”. Just a thought. Such cute items!
Everything is great. I think I'd put more than 4 table name things in the set. Just a thought. But loved all your items
I actually had 6 place cards in each pack. Thanks for the feedback 😊
Well done! I would order some from you, if alliwed

Thanks for the feedback 🙂
When is your craft fair? Can you make a video of what was your best seller and what wasn’t?
I have had 3 craft fairs already, Saturday was my last one. I am planning to do a video soon on how I did. There's lots of preparation for this kind of video so it will probably be after Thanksgiving. Thank for the suggestion 🙂

I just found your video. Your papercrafts are adorable! Can I ask where you get the cute sayings on the journals and Hallmark movie boxes? I can’t imaging stamping and coloring each one. Thanks!
Thank you so much, I'm glad you are here! The things I put on the fronts of my notebooks are called Frames & tags and Journaling cards, I get them from echoparkpaper.com .
As far as my Hallmark tags go... I created it myself using a blank template on Avery.com, printed them and then used some stamps I had to finish it. I tell about it in this video here th-cam.com/video/U5JcT7yzORk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=MdFmxcOP1Sjvb7ne .
Most people buy their Hallmark images from Pinterest but I've never done that. Hope that helps ♡
Hi great video. I really apperciate it. Can you tell us where you get the celephane sleebes for the journals and notebooks?
Thank you so much 😊 I buy most of my clear cellophane bags on Amazon. When I can't find a size I need I buy them on clearbags.com . If there's a particular size you are looking for let me know and I'd be happy to send you a link for it on Amazon
Love your simple ideas. Where do you purchase your bags that you put all you items in?
Thank you 😊 I get almost all of my clear bags from Amazon. I have gotten a few from clearbags.com
Cute stuff, and low priced too
Thanks ♡

I willl try to make tutorials on those. I have had several requests for tutorials. With my craft shows coming up and the holidays too it may take me time to post them. Stay tuned ♡
These are all darling. How did you cut the gratitude journals in half?
Thank you 😊 I bought them like that. I found them at Walmart in a pack of 10 when sxhool supplies came out. I have not found them since.
Such great ideas! You mentioned lyric lover crafts. Who is the other crafter you mentioned?

Your creations are beautifully & thoughtfully made...are you using a cricut machine to create the gift card &money card holders?
Thank you so much 😊 I don't have a cricut I hand cut all of my crafts with a paper trimmer. You can watch tutorials on my channel for both the gift card and money holder cards. Here are the links for those:

You could raise the price a bit on your smaller items I thought but for the planner. I thought it was too high in comparison. 10 you may do better. All of your items look awesome. The recipe holder was cool. Good luck hope you do well
Thanks for the suggestions!
I think your crafts are great. If you don't mind me asking, where did you get the plastic bags you are using to wrap your creations?
I'm not sure about her bags but Lyric Lover Crafts has mentioned on her channel a company named Clearbags.
Thank you! I buy most of my clear bags from Amazon. Some of them I got from clearbags.com ♡
I love all your items .. Where did you get the plastic covers ?
Thank you 😊 I mostly buy my clear bags from Amazon. I have bought a few from clearbags.com.
On your gratitude journals, maybe you could market as a prayer journal?
Great idea... I have thought about that but wasn't exactly sure how to do it. I may add a display sign that gives ideas as to what they can be used for. Thank you ♡
I think you locked yourself in by calling them gratitude journals. I would definitely leave one out so the can see how beautiful they are inside and out. ☺️
That's a great suggestion. I actually didn't use the gratitude journal sign at my craft show yesterday and sold one 😀 I used the sign that says Journal/Notebook. Thank you ♡
@@SimpleCreationsByShanda, YAY, I’m glad! 🥰
Hi how do you keep the rocks in place for roc tac toe they looked very nicely packaged.
Hi... I'm sorry I haven't done a tutorial on the Rock-tac-toe yet. I've had lots of people wanting a video on that one so keep watching, hopefully I can get it out soon. To answer your question about keeping the rocks in place.... they only stay in place when lying down flat. To help them somewhat stay in place when holding upright I made sure to put the largest rocks in first when packaging, that helped some with keeping the weight more at the bottom when picking them upright. Also, I used a clear bag that fit as tight as possible to try and keep them snug in the packaging. Here is a link to the size bags I used amzn.to/46YdSAd . Having 10 rocks in them they are pretty heavy once packaged, I'm not sure how that will work in a hanging stocking but good luck! Let me know if you have any other questions.
I like the recipe card holder do you have a tutorial on how you made.
Now that my craft fairs are over I'm planning to do more tutorials. Of course the holidays are busy for us so I'll do my best to get that one out soon so keep watching for it. Thank you for asking 😊
