Thanksgiving Table Settings

I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Ours was quiet, but nice.

In the past month, I have seen many pictures of table settings and I decided to create one myself. It’s a very simple one but hopefully tasteful in style.


I was inspired by the table setting Stampin’ Up! CEO Shelli Gardner shared here and by the various settings the Papertrey Design Team created here.

Here are close ups of the two stamped projects in the table setting:

Stamp set: Thankful Thoughts
Paper: Old Olive, Whisper White, Autumn Vine DSP, watercolor paper
Ink: Chocolate Chip, Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel, Old Olive, More Mustard, Summer Sun, Pumpkin Pie, Really Rust, Ruby Red, Night of Navy Classic Ink, Black StazOn ink
Accessories: Blender pen, 1/16” circle punch, 1 ¾”circle punch, 2” circle punch, corner rounder punch, Earth Elements brads- Old Olive-2, (non-SU!), SNAIL adhesive, sticky strip, 3 Hershey chocolate Kisses, printed name.

Stamp set: Thankful Thoughts
Paper: Old Olive, More Mustard, Very Vanilla
Ink: Old Olive, More Mustard, Close to Cocoa, Chocolate Chip Classic Ink, Black StazOn ink
Accessories: Blender pen, scallop circle punch, 1 3/8” circle punch, 5/8” Chocolate Chip grosgrain ribbon, scissors, mini glue dots, SNAIL adhesive, sticky strip, 3 Hershey chocolate Kisses.

I used this pillow box for a recent stamp class. You can view details and samples of the other class projects in this post.

That’s the last of the Autumn/Thanksgiving projects for this year. Even though it isn’t officially winter yet, the holiday season begins pretty much the day after Thanksgiving in the U.S. Growing up in Canada, we started the holiday season on December 1 since our Thanksgiving is in October. So... you will have to come back to my blog in the next few days to see when I begin the holiday season! ;)

Have fun stampin’ and creatin’!

Sincerely,
Michelle
