Thanksgiving Theme Week- Day 2

Hi all, it’s Melody here on the blog today. With Thanksgiving just around the corner I wanted to share an idea I have for some quick and easy place cards for your Thanksgiving table. The place cards make your table just a little more special by adding that handmade touch!

I created four place cards for my post, but the cards can be put together quickly for however many people you have sitting at your holiday table. I started by creating the base for the place cards from Kraft cardstock. I used the stitched rectangle that you get when you die cut the largest die in the Stitched Notes Dies. I scored the Kraft rectangle in the middle then folded the card in half to form a tent card. 

Next I cut a variety for leaves and pumpkins from white card stock with the Small Stitched Foliage Dies. I also cut a few leaves from gold foil cardstock. Next I blended Distress Ink on the pumpkins and leaves to add a variety of fall colors. For the white pumpkins I blended Antique Linen and Brushed Corduroy Distress Inks. The orange pumpkins are blended with Wild Honey, Spiced Marmalade, and Crackling Campfire Inks. The leaves are done in Barn Door and Fired Brick, Bundled Sage and Peeled Paint, and Scattered Straw and Wild Honey.  

I attached the foliage to the place cards, adhering the pumpkins with foam dots to add dimension. The names on the card are computer generated. I finished off the place card with Metallic Gold Jewels.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope I have given you a handmade idea for your Thanksgiving Table.
