Hi everyone! It's Amy here today and in the Untied States, we are prepping for this upcoming Thursday's, Thanksgiving holiday.
I thought, since we are a few days out, why not share some ideas for place settings for your holiday table this week.
For this project, I used a single piece of cardstock, and cut my pieces into 3"x6" pieces, then folded them in half, leaving me with eight, 3x3" folded cards. I then cut pieces of the paper "Harvest" from the Daily Flash, Apple Cider collection into 2.5" squares. Next up, I used two of the "b"sides from the Apple Cider 6x8" Paper pack that are already 2" wide, to create my inner paper base. That inner piece, is the more densely colored of the two, making a good foundation for creating contrast between it and my monogram sticker that I wanted to use. Once I had my papers together, I stitched the 2" piece to the 2.5" piece prior to adhereing to my cardstock base. Next up I chose my alpha stickers to use as my "monogram" for guests' places. I used woodgrain stickers from the older Sasparilla collection, and the orange alpha stickers from the more recent Farm Girl collection. Both pair beautifully with Apple Cider.
My final touch to my cards was a twined button to add a bit more pizazz and dimension.
I asked Danni to help out in this challenge and I knew she'd knock it out of the park, just like she did! Just look at what she created:
Here's what Danni had to say about her creation:
I was really excited when Amy shared what her idea was for the challenge this week. I had set out to create these place cards/silverware wrap with the new October Afternoon Apple Cider line, but I am out of most all of it and so I went to plan B to create these for the kids' table using the DF Girl Talk Whisper paper. I LOVE how my turkey turned out, the kids will love their table this year. Thank you so much Amy for such a fun challenge this week. Happy Thanksgiving U.S. friendsā„
Such a brilliant idea for the kids' table don't you think!? I just love it! Thank you Danni, for creating along with me this week!
If you have a chance to play along and want to share your creations with us, we'd love to have you upload your creations to our Ocober Afternoon Flickr pool. In the meantime, for our US followers, have a wonderful and blessed Thanksgiving this year! ~ Amy & Danni
