Create some cute place cards for that special celebration meal. This year, it may be small gatherings for Thanksgiving or Friendsgiving dinners, with perhaps only those in your social "bubble" - but more than ever a time for giving thanks & celebrating. Dress up your table with personalized place cards!
These place cards use either cardstock or Designer Series Papers as background for the Celebration Tidings stamp set images.
Stamp the image onto white or vanilla card stock using Cinnamon Cider ink; then die-cut. I used one of the dies from Hippo Friends on most of these, but did use Stitched Rectangles on one (see Lucas). Color in the pumpkins & leaves as you like - I used Stampin' Blends in Pumpkin Pie and Granny Apple Green.
Base size: 3" x 4 1/4" and fold in half. Or if your die is larger, as the Stitched Rectangle die is, cut the base slightly larger at 4" x 4 1/4". Base is cut in solid card stock (Pumpkin Pie, Cinnamon Cider) OR Designer Series Paper - Gilded Autumn DSP has beautiful selections, which I used on some of these.
Stamp set & dies I used:
Another option is to stamp directly onto a Whisper White card stock. This is just as pretty, I think. Don't the colors really pop? Also a plus, it uses minimal supplies - really quick to make.
What do you think? Do you have a favorite? I'm sure you can think of many more variations, depending on what supplies you have on hand, including any embellishments or perhaps heat embossing the images in gold, etc. Just let your imagination go!
I hope you'll be able to get together with some loved ones this season. Using a pretty place card at each sitting will make it all that more special!
