This week at Hand Stamped Sentiments the challenge is to create accessories for your holiday table. Place cards, napkin holders, favors, invitations…you get the idea. I love the Cherry Cobbler card stock and this color is perfect for my Christmas table. I created an invitation, favor, place card, luminary and candle.
The luminary was so easy to make. You can click here for the pdf tutorial. I punched the circle shape on all of the sides of my luminary which is optional. You can punch only the front if you like. I stamped the medallion from the Artistic Etchings stamp set with Cherry Cobbler on the vellum. I glittered around the punched circle using Tombow liquid glue and Champagne Glass Glitter. I then adhered the vellum to the back of all sides of my luminary. I then assembled the luminary with sticky tape. To light the luminary I used a battery operated candle which is safer than using a real candle.
To continue with the elegant look I heat embossed with gold the poinsettia image from the Bells & Boughs stamp set on the the invitation and the candle. I also gold embossed the ‘You’re Invited’. The candle stamping is also very easy. You can click here for a written and video tutorial from SCS.
The favor was created using the Candy Wrapper die from the holiday mini. I also stamped the ‘Dec 25’ from the Tags til Christmas stamp set and punched it out with the Decorative Label punch. Love, love, love this punch. I glittered the oval with Champagne Glass glitter. The glitter is so easy to use. Because of the size it doesn’t make a mess. I wrapped the favor in the red medallion dsp from the Deck the Halls DSP then adhered the label. You can fill the favor with peppermints or chocolates. These will be a hit with your dinner guests.
The place card was also very easy. I used the tag from the Tags til Christmas stamp set but I masked the ‘to and from’ then embossed the branch and pinecone image in gold. I wrote the name with a gold pen and simply placed the card on the napkin ring.
So dress up your table for the holidays! With a little creativity and imagination dressing up your table doesn’t have to break the bank.
