Thanksgiving Place Settings

Hello!  Happy Thanksgiving to all of you reading my blog today.  Thank you for dropping by.  I hope you have a wonderful day with family and something to fill your belly tonight.  Here are the place settings I made to share with my in laws for dinner at my sister-in-law's house.  She told me that she didn't need name cards, so I altered the place settings I made for dinner at my parent's house, and decided to forgo the name banner, and just use a single leaf across the belly band for these ones.  I like the simplicity of these place settings.  They were easy enough to put together while watching a show with my husband, thanks to the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created kit by Stampin' Up!  The kit came with all the items I needed to make these little guys, and I'm grateful for simple in my life!  The kit is only $19.95, and you get enough supplies to make ten of these (with little chalkboard banner pieces to write names on), a chalk marker, lots of twine, die cut leaves, more chalk board labels, and lots of paper strips for decorating candles, making a table runner, or whatever you want to do with the paper.  It's a great kit, and even though today is Thanksgiving, the kit is still available until January 1st, if you decide you want it for next year, or if you want to use the supplies to scrapbook with or make other kinds of crafts.  I highly recommend this kit.  I even want to buy one more, so that I can do some scrapbooking and card making with everything.

Lastly, I wanted to share a simple card I made to go with an order I delivered last week.  I just needed a small card to jot a quick note, and using my fall supplies from the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created kit and the Autumn Leaves Bigz Die from Stampin' Up!, I made this card in a super quick minute.
All of these items can be purchase in my online store, here.  Thank you for stopping by today, and I hope you have a safe and happy holiday!  See you tomorrow!

Another Fall Card

Hello!  Happy weekend to you!  I hope you're enjoying it.  I sure am!  I shared a fall card a week or so ago and wanted to share a card like it with a different color scheme.  I love this card and knew that I'd be making a ton of them when I first saw it.  Here's the card.  You've seen it in pool party with crushed curry, but I was out of pool party so I decided to improvise a little and I'm happy with the result!

I think the champagne glimmer paper really makes the card!  I also love the birch paper in the background from the Thankful tablescape simply created kit.  I will say, that kit is a must have!!!!  You can still order it in time for arrival before Thanksgiving, or after Thanksgiving is over, you can order it to scrapbook your Thanksgiving memories. Order all the supplies to make this card in my online store here.  The greeting is from the Another Thank You photopolymer stamp set, one of my new favorites!  I love the photopolymer stamp sets.  They're awesome.  They stamp great, cling to the blocks great, are easy to clean, easy to re-stamp if your image doesn't come out just right, they're very affordable, and they come in a compact, easy to store package, which is great for all of us crafters out there who are short on space!  I also love thank you stamps, since I send a lot of thank you's, and this set is great because it has all different sized stamps in many different fonts, so there's sure to be a stamp for every project and card you're making!  And last but not least, I am in love with the Autumn Accents Bigz Die.  I love leaves and fall, so this die was made just for me!  It's a great die to have in your collection for anything fall related, and great for spring and summer projects as well, since you can make the leaves whatever colors you want!  This die has so many possibilities!  Cut out leaves with patterned paper, regular cardstock, felt, chipboard, vinyl, magnetic paper, wood sheets, anything!  You won't be sorry you ordered this die, I promise!!!  Order all these supplies and other high quality Stampin' Up! supplies in my online store here.  Thanks for stopping by today.  See you tomorrow!

Thanksgiving place settings

Hello!  Today I wanted to show you what I'm making for our place settings for Thanksgiving.  These are made using the Thankful Tablescapes Simply Created Kit from Stampin' Up!  I love these place settings, and they are so easy and effortless with this kit!  Everything you need to create these place settings is found in the kit except for the pillar candle.  Thanksgiving is only two weeks away!  Crazy!!!!  You still have time to order this kit from my online store and have them delivered in time for Thanksgiving.  Order them here.

Hope you enjoyed today's little post.  I'll be back tomorrow with another fall project.  See you tomorrow!

Gently Falling Card #2

Hello!  Here's another card from the card folder I made with Mayra.  I love all the cards in the folder, and couldn't wait to show them to my family and to all of you.  I hope you're getting some great ideas for fall cards to send to your friends and family, and to decorate your home for Thanksgiving!

This is another card using the stamp set Gently Falling from Stampin' Up!, the greeting is from Lacy and Lovely, and the strip of patterned paper is from the Thankful tablescape simply created place setting kit (Item # 132164, $19.95).  It was the napkin holder, cut into pieces to make several of these cards.  A great way to use up your left over pieces if you didn't use a whole kit, or another use for that great kit!  I love everything in that kit and have so many ideas for how to use each and every piece that comes in it.  It doesn't have to be just for place settings.  You can make cards with all of the paper, use the chalkboard pieces for labeling jars in your kitchen, organizing your linen closets or your kids toys, your scrapbook/crafting supplies, garden supplies, and you can also use the napkin holders in the kit to turn into a 6 x 12'' scrapbook tied together with binder rings or ribbon.  I'll have to show my scrapbook later on this month.  Anyway, I hope I've given you some ideas for how to use that kit, so now go order it!  :)  It's a great deal for all the items you get in the kit.  You can order it through my online store here.  Thanks for stopping by today, and I'll see you tomorrow!  Two more cards left to show you, and then I'll show you a few of my Christmas cards for all of you early birds getting a head start!
