Triangle Box Table Favors (for Skipping Stones Design)

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers and friends. Hope you are enjoying a relaxing and tummy stuffing weekend. If you are in a panic and looking for cute favors for your dinner table, put some of these together really quick!

I used 4" by 8" paper for mine . . . it makes a little smaller box, which I prefer. I scored my box before stamping it. I stamped my apricot appeal paper with wheat tares first, and then embossed them in gold. Once that was done, I used my SU ink colors to stamp turkey drumticks, and leaves to create my autumn paper (all of these stamps come in the Thanksgiving set by Skipping Stones Design).

The box is filled with gold hershey kisses (gotta match, of course pumpkin spice ones would be perfect too) and tied with a pumpkin pie grosgrain ribbon. The final touch was to add a little "Happy Thanksgiving" sentiment which also comes in the set. I layered it using my nestabilites ovals, and voila - quick and easy favors.

I saw directions on how to make these cool triangle boxes on SCS:

Stamps: Thanksgiving (Skipping Stones Design) Paper: Apricot Appeal (SU!), Solar White Classic Crest (Neenah), Pumpkin Pie (SU!) Ink: Versamark (Tsukineko), Pumpkin Pie (SU!), Vintage Sepia Versafine (Tsukineko), Ruby Red (SU!) Accessories: gold embossing powder (Filigree Fine Art Powder - Stewart Superior Corp.), Pumpkin pie grosgrain ribbon (SU!), hole punch (Fiskars), gold brads (The Paper Studio), Painterly Petals - Hydrangeas (Prima Marketing Inc.), Scalloped and plain oval nestabilities (Spellbinders)

HANNA PREVIEW: For the Soul

This set is totally cool! I have not seen anything like it! I think it is perfect for a sympathy card, a thinking of you, a little hand out at church, maybe even for cards at Easter (thinking ahead here) etc. It is so CUTE! Hanna looks so angelic and well, to be completely honest, reminds me of my little sister (not sure why). I used the sketch at Card Positioning Systems (#83) for the layout. I was going for a "touched by an angel" look on the main image (and I think I kind of created that.) I used vellum to overlay the image to give it that glossy fuzz (soft focus). Stamps : For the Soul (Hanna Stamps), "God Bless" sentiment by American Art Stamp Paper: Lily Kate - Basic Grey, Neenah Solar White, SU vellum card stock, SU Whisper White Ink : Onyx Black Versafine Accessories : Sheer 5/8th Inch organdy ribbon, Nestabilities (Circle and scalloped circle), sewing machine, white thread, circle of plastic canvas, copic markers, white brads, paper piercing ...

Pinecone Balls Revisited

So lately I have been noticing that a lot of the traffic to my blog has been to the tutorial on how to make the pinecone balls that I put together about a year ago. SO, due to the increase in popularity, I thought I would get rid of some of my extra supplies on hand (because I made some already this year again and my fingers are sore enough) -- I have decided to giveaway a kit that contains enough supplies to make three balls. It features some great papers and ribbon and will be similar to the ones you may have seen at orientaltrading.com . I know it is not a huge giveaway, but I thought it would be fun! To enter, tell me what your favorite Christmas tradition is in the comments section of this post. I will draw a random winner on December 1st , so enter today!!!
