Thankful - and Thank You!


Wow - Just two years ago, I started down this amazing path with Stampin' Up!  I have met some wonderful people along the way. That really is the best part - meeting a lot of you and sharing your stories and of course, stamping together.  So Thank You! to all of you who have made this experience something I continue to cherish and love doing. 

Because I am feeling quite thankful for all the blessings you have given me these past two years, I want to give something back. So, since Stampin' Up has made holiday shopping a lot more fun with their tremendous sale going on, let me sweeten the pot!  If you place an order of $30 or more with me or on my website between now and midnight EST November 30, you will receive a special Christmas gift from me in December.  Is there a gift bag with your name on it???

Thankful Tablescape Treats

 
Here is another great way to use your Thankful Tablescape Kit. I used the paper for the napkin holder and my Top Note Die Cut to create a bag topper.  Add your favorite candies and you have a nice gift for your friends.


Here is an idea I saw online. Cover a toilet tube with the birch paper and then stuff it with more candy of course!  Perhaps a few matchbox cars would work well too if you don't want to supply that much sugar in one sitting.  I hope you enjoyed these variations on the Thankful Tablescape kit. You still have time to order yours before Thanksgiving if you want to use it to decorate your table!

Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit




Here are just a few things created with the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit. You still have time to order yours.  The kit includes enough materials to make ten place settings for your Thanksgiving Table along with some other items for decorations. However, if you don't need ten place settings, look at all the other fun things you can do with the materials. Yes, The birch paper is pretty awesome for scrapbooking too! 

Table cards are an additional item in the kit. I modified mine to use as a place card. Face it, sometimes you want to pre-plan who sits next to each other.  By adding a photo rather than a written name, it can be come something you can add right to your scrapbook pages.




Over the next few days, I will share more of the projects in detail, but for now, just get your kit ordered!

Shop anytime at www.HilarySmith.StampinUp.net.  The kit is item 133463 priced at $19.95

Build a Banner Simply Created Kit


Have you seen the Build a Banner Simply Created kit in Stampin' Up's Holiday catalog?  Maybe you skipped over it thinking.... I am not going to make that.  Well why not? I confess I was a little intimidated, but then I kept seeing them here and there and jumped in. Wow - they really can be created in very little time.  I love that I can put whatever I want on the banner.

Here is what comes in the kit. (18 5x7" canvas pennants, alphabet and pattern stencils, 9' of twine, and a Stampin' Spritzer)

 
To clarify as well - the banner is not just paper, it is canvas so what you make will last a long time!  The stencils can be used for just about everything else you craft - cards, those wonderful Muslin Bags!  What great Christmas gifts when you personalize the gifts with the recipient's initials. 
 
Still a little hesitant? Contact me to set up a private class, or invite a group of friends together to make banners.  It's a perfect way to celebrate the holidays together (and get your house decorated). Order yours today at www.HilarySmith.StampinUp.net or contact me at MightyOakStampers@yahoo.com to set up a banner party.
