I used to love making table favors and place settings cards for holiday meals. Now we tend to not get together with as many people at one time, so I haven’t made these in a while. Today I am bringing them back and with a bit of a twist.
This project is a combination of place setting and utensil holder. I did not add a name, but I would place a smaller layer in the center of the DSP with the person’s name. And before I get started on these particulars, I want to say that I have found a Wonderful Thing!!!! The sentiment is stamped with the Cinnamon Cider Ink. To me anyway, it looks like it is stamped in a metallic ink. I have used this ink with Bronze and Gold and it matches perfectly. I think that is a great find! Be sure to try it yourself.
Ok, now on to the directions. The holder is actually the same size as a pull out card that I have made. And if you were purchasing the utensil holders, they are a tad narrower. But I like having the extra bit of room because the card stock doesn’t flex as well as some of the fabric holders do.
The sweet sentiment is from the Country Home stamp set. I love every stamp in this set. The base of the project is Mint Macaron and cut to 4 1/4 X 11 and is scored at 5 1/2 and 10. Fold and burnish both folds. The small 1″ fold, folds to the outside and I have it taped down. On the long end, I rounded the corners with the Detailed Trio Punch.
The layers are Brushed Metallic card stock (OMG this paper is beautiful!!!) and the Gilded Autumn Designer Series Paper. I stamped on Very Vanilla with the Cinnamon Cider Ink and punched the ends with the Lovely Label Punch.
I had purchased some beautiful napkins last year after Thanksgiving for just such a project. And I have No Idea where they are!!! So I used a piece of old DSP, which is actually similar to the napkins, to represent the napkin. Also, by having a bit more room inside the fold, I have room for a little treat. I added a Merci Chocolate in the center. The pretty foil wrapping on those matches the theme as well.
Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you enjoyed yesterday’s blog hop. I have directions for today’s project just below. And the supplies are listed at the very bottom of the post.
Directions:
- base is 4 1/4 X 11, scored at 5 1/2 and 10. Fold and burnish the scored lines.
- Fold the small section to the front and secure with tape or glue.
- The sentiment layer is 3 3/4 X 3/4 for the foil and 3 3/4 X 5/8 for the Vanilla
- Use the Lovely Label punch to punch each end of the sentiment.
- The front layers are 4 X 3 3/4 and 3 3/4 X 3 1/2
- Place the layers on the front and the sentiment.
- Add Tear & Tape to the inside edge of the front section. Place the tape against the edge of the paper.
- Lay your silverware inside the pocket and then adhere the sides. Otherwise it is extremely tight and everything will not fit inside.
