Hi everyone!
I’m not super-proficient with the Cuttlebug so when I got my assignment to create something with the Cuttlebug this month, I wanted to keep it simple, experiment, and have some fun.
Since Thanksgiving was last week in the United States and more holidays are coming up, it thought it would be fun to create some place cards for the guests you might have over during this season of celebration.
Here’s what the finished card looks like:
The first thing I did was to cut a piece of Mistables paper and put it through the Cuttlebug using Fanciful Labels. I had several different label pieces.
I then used my distress inks to color the labels lightly so the pattern showed through.
The next step was to cut a small rectangular piece of the special Nantucket Core’dinations Pack. I put it through the Cuttlebug using the Seeing Spots embossing folder. Here’s how it looked at that point:
The next step was to cut the paper so it was slightly larger than my label and sand it so the white in the “core” showed through. So now I had both my pieces ready:
The last step was to ink around the edge of the diecut label piece and glued it on top of the blue one. I then used some Cushies to add the name on top and I was done! Here it is one more time:
If your guests’ names are longer, the set has other labels. You can also use smaller letters and even put the label through your typewriter.
I hope this gives you a fun little idea to use next time you have a dinner party. Thank you for letting me share.
On our front door our wreath is made with wood branches and has a cute snowman in the middle saying Welcome to our Home….Thanks for the chance to win some goodies and for the ornament instructions.
We are in the middle of making our Magnolia Wreath in honor of my mother in law who’s past suddenly. We remember her fondly as she had an amazing Magnolia tree in the back of her home that we would every year make just the perfect wreath from. Welcoming all for the holidays. We miss her very much. : )
