Thankfulness

Thankfully it's Friday!

Thanksgiving Table Favors

Hey there! I took last week off, I'm sure you noticed...but I'm back this week with a super cute favor for the Sisters in Stamping Fabulous Friday Post--

One of my co-workers found this idea in a magazine and brought it to me. She needed 30 of them for her grandson's school party. I ordered the cone shaped bags here , I had saved this pin from Cristy Butzen a couple of years ago on how to make candy corn punch art. Here is a picture of the tag close-up--

I used the SU! white gel pen to write in the sentiment. They were a big hit!

Thank-you for coming by today! Karla c(:

Setting the Thanksgiving Table

The Sisters in Stamping blog is featuring Thanksgiving favors this week. Here is my project--

 

I used the new Envelope Punch Board (#133774, $19.95) and the Tags 4 You Bundle (pg.37 of the Holiday Mini catalog) to create my favor. I cut the leaves with the Autumn Accents Bigz die (pg.192 IB&C, #113468, $21.95) and used the Perfect Polka Dots Embossing Folder (pg. 191 IB&C, #117335, $7.95) to give them some texture.  It opens up--

I attached a pouch of Spiced Cider with some sticky strip. My pouch measured out to 3 1/2x 4 1/4 and I used the Punch Board to do the rest-- it was awesome! All of the guess work, measuring and scoring taken care of, you've gotta love that. I CASED the idea kinda, from Julie Davison, here is a link to her blog post.

There are more Thanksgiving favor ideas over at the Sisters in Stamping blog, so go take a look!

Happy Stamping, Karla c(:

Thanksgiving for Friday

November is here (already!) and over at the Sisters in Stamping blog we are showcasing some Thanksgiving decor and cards for you this week. Here is my project for this week--

 

This little paper pumpkin turned out way too cute! I used the BigShot to emboss some Pumpkin Pie card stock with the Perfect Polka Dots embossing folder (pg.189, #117335) and then cut it into 3/4" strips. Punch a hole on each end of the strip, and thread them onto some Soft Suede ribbon.

I knotted the ribbon onto it's self to create the stem. Added an Old Olive leaf cut from the Bigz Die Autumn Accents (Holiday Mini Catalog pg.33, #127812). Lastly I cut small thin strips of the same card stock and curled them with my bone folder.

Thank-you for coming by today. Next week the Sisters will be making projects with Glimmer Paper. Hope you can stop on by!

Happy stamping! Karla c(:

Thanksgiving Turkey Favor

Welcome to another Fabulous Friday! We are all putting together some Thanksgiving Decor together for you this week at the Sisters in Stamping blog (http://SistersinStamping.blogspot.com). Here is my little Turkey place setting favor--

My family and I have been invited to spend Thanksgiving at a friends house, I'll be making these to set at each of the place settings. I used some Spice Cake Designer Series Paper (Holiday Mini catalog) to make a pouch. I've filled it with chocolate and candy corn and used some punch art to decorate it.  

Thank-you for coming by my blog today! Make sure you check out the Sisters in Stamping blog for some other great Holiday Decorating ideas.

Happy Stamping, Karla c(:
