Hi Everyone. It's time for the Joyful Stars Blog Hop. I really love participating in the hop. This month, our theme is anything fall. Huntington is one of the new CTMH paper packets and it so versatile. Last month, I used it for a heritage layout and this month I'm using it to help us get ready for Thanksgiving. I often think that in today's world, Thanksgiving gets forgotten. Believe it or not, as a floral designer at Michaels, I've already started making Christmas decorations. Yup...what I have made for fall is all that there is going to be. So, I thought I should pay a little attention to this wonderful family holiday.
If you've arrived here from
Helen's Blog you are on the right track. Without further ado, here is my project...
I wanted to do something that we get everyone ready for a great dinner. Huntington (X7174B) and the Perfect Fit - Thanksgiving (B1427) are perfect for the Dinner Invitation, Napkin Ring and Place Card.
The card is an 8 x 3 1/2 inch card. BTW - I love this size. Did you realize they fit into a business envelope? The sketch comes from the Originals "how to" book.
The napkin ring uses the CTMH burlap ribbon for the flower and the actual ring around the napkin. Love our burlap ribbon!
Last but not least is the place card. I made the leaves by cutting them on the Cricut using Artbooking. I then sponged them with Goldrush, Autumn Terracotta and Barn Red Pigment Inks and heat embossed with clear powder. I repeated the process to give the almost enameled look.
Well, I hope you are enjoying the Joyful Stars Blog Hop. It's time to head over to
Elizabeth's Blog to see what she has created for us. Thanks for hopping by and For Now, Happy Crafting!
