Thanksgiving Decor and Tablesettings.

In honor of Thanksgiving I am sharing these projects I made last month at a class. They were inspired by a project I saw at Stampin' Up!'s convention this summer. I changed some things up to make my own version.
 I made a complete set: a candle with leaves to spread out on your table, table settings and a card in case you were celebrating Thanksgiving at someone else's house and might use it as a hostess gift.
I used a pillar candle from a major craftstore and stamp directly on it by rolling it on my stamp En Francais inked in Black Stazon ink ...it dries instantly and because of the candle wax looks like a silvery gray. I then sponged Champagne Glimmer paint on the candle... it will need to dry for a while before you can attach the decoration. The decoration is leaves cut out with the Autumn Accents die and the Big Shot. I used Champagne Glimmer paper, Very Vanilla, Cajun Craze, More Mustard and Lucky Limeade Card stock. Some of the solid leaves are embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing folder for added texture. All the leaves are crumpled up then sponges with the Champagne Shimmer Paint. The stamped leaves on the candle are stamped with Lucky Limeade and More Mustard ink on Very Vanilla Card stock with the Wonderfall stampset. They are then crumpled up and I used the Cajun Craze ink pad to add the red tips and then used the Champagne Shimmer Paint for lots of shine. The button is from the Designer Buttons naturals - love love love those and I used Linen Thread for the bow. The leaves are clustered together with Glue Dots and attached to the candle with Sticky Tape.

 The card and place settings are using all the same products as mentioned before except for a few extras. I used our Window Sheet and ran it through the Big Shot with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder then sanded it with out new Sanding Block. The Early Espresso Core'dination Card stock is also embossed with the Woodgrain Embossing Folder then sanded it for the cool two-tone effect. The Sentiment is from the Pursuit of Happiness Stamp Set - One of my favorite stamp sets of all time.

 I used Gratitude from the Fabulous Phrases inked in Lucky Limeade and then cut it out with the Bitty Banner Framelits. As shown in the background I also gave my customers to make blank one so they could write their guests names on them.
 It might have been hard to see in the previous pictures but there is such as fabulous shine to all of the projects as you can really see in this picture. Love the Champagne Shimmer Paint!!


I wish you all a Wonderfall Thanksgiving!
