Hello Crafty Friends - We at Rinea Foil Paper Inspires are doing a collaboration with Imagine Crafts all month long. Today, I have a fun project for your Thanksgiving table. With this placeholder you can put flowers or a treat in it for your guests.

Let's gather our supplies and get started on our project:

Autumn Variety Crafter's Pack - Marigold Starstruck & Mocha Startstruck 
Lawn Fawn Forest Friends - Sentiment

Recollections Brand heavy weight card stock in Pumpkin & Cream
Aleene's Tacky Craft Glue
Horizon Group USA- Braiding Cord in Chocolate Brown
Electronic Die Cutting Machine, 
Scissors, Small Hole punch

So, let's get started. First, download and cut the Pumpkin Favor SVG. Next, Only on the outer panels of pumpkin which are cut from Marigold Starstruck Foil Paper stamp the leaves and pinecone. I only stamped on one panel the pine cone with the Imagine Crafts Ganache Stazon Ink. I then made a mask for it; then stamped the leaves around it In the Imagine Crafts Stazon Claret Ink. 

 

 Next, on the remaining panels I just stamped the leaves. I then set them aside to dry completely. The best part about the Imagine Crafts - StazOn ink is that it dries pretty quick.
 Now, I will assemble the Pumpkin Favor Box according the site and PDF provided by Simply Crafty SVG. Once the Pumpkin is assembled - you can then adhere the Marigold Starstruck Foil Paper stamped panels.

  

Next, I assembled the handle for the Pumpkin favor box. I layered the Marigold Starstruck Foil Paper handle onto the cardstock handle adhered in place. Then I gave it a slight curve. I love that the Rinea Foil Paper holds it's shape. 
Next, I punched a small hole on each of the handle and on the pumpkin. I then inserted a small brad into both to attach in place. Note: you can just adhere the handle in place if you do not have small brads.  You could be done at this point but I added a small tag - this is where I will add the person's name. 
  

To create the tag I first stamped onto Cream card stock the pine cone with Imagine Crafts Ganache Stazon Ink and sentiment Happy Thanksgiving with  Imagine Crafts Stazon Claret Ink. leaving some room under the sentiment for the name. I then layered and adhered each layer Cream card stock,  Marigold Starstruck Foil Paper, Pumpkin card stock and then Mocha Starstruck Foil Paper. I then gave the tag a slight curve.

Next, I punched a small hole into the tag by the pine cone. I then added the Chocolate braiding cord threw it. leaving enough to tie the tag onto the favor box's handle. I cut off any extra and tied a small bow and adhered it to the tag.
  
Now, tie the tag onto the pumpkin favor and you have a wonderful placeholder for your Thanksgiving table.
I am so happy stopped by the blog today. I hope you found some inspiration - if you did and create a project using the Autumn Variety Crafter's Pack be sure to tag us on social media!

Thank you with Dies R Us

Hello Crafty Friends - I am here with another using some of the amazing dies that are available at Dies R Us.


Let's get started.

First let gather our Supplies:

Now, die cut the leaves from both shades of green card stock. Die cut the two smaller flowers from the medium orange card stock and the large flower from both the dark orange card stock and the holographic paper.

Since the holographic paper is to thin I am backing it with the dark orange card stock. to give it more body. you can use the medium orange card stock for this but I like the finish look it gives with the matching card stock. 


I add a bit of adhesive on the card stock flower then slowly place the holographic paper on top of it.


Next, adhere the kraft card stock layer onto the brown card stock card base. The start adhering the leaves and flowers onto the card front. I  decided to do this on the bottom left hand side.

I start with the leaves. I adhere the dark green ones, then layer the medium green on top. Next, I adhere the medium orange flowers by the leaves just over lapping the leaves.



 I place the larger leaves in the corner and add the holographic flower just above them. I add foam adhesive behind the large flower for some dimension.

  

Now, adhere the die cut sentiment "Thank you" to the card front. Next, it's time for finishing touches - Light Gold sequins and jewels


I layered the sequins and jewels for the center of the flowers. I first adhered the sequins in place, then put a bit more glue in the center of the sequin and  placed the jewels. 


Now, the card is complete - quick and simple. I like to die cut flowers and small sentiments like this from a variety of card stock and have them on hand for quick cards.
