THANKSGIVING INSPIRATION BLOG HOP




This is my second post. Please scroll down for the Moxie Fab Thanks Blog Hop







 


Welcome to the Thanksgiving Inspiration blog event, brought to you by "The Inspiration Crew".  We're just a group of online crafty friends who love being creative. This time we are doing a one day event to provide you with tons of autumn and Thanksgiving themed inspiration.

We're making crafty projects using products we like and some of us are even offering prizes! Check each blog for information about what prizes are offered and when the winners will be announced on that blog.

Below is a list of all the crafty ladies participating in this event.  Be sure to visit all the blogs for loads of great Thanksgiving craft ideas!

My project info:
A quick little set of thank you notes, perfect for the host and hostess of your next yummy Thanksgiving dinner!  Bundle up the notes & envelopes, tie them together with pretty plaid ribbon, and add a bottle of nice red wine - the perfect gift!

The thank-you sentiment can easily be swapped for a name, turning these little cuties into place setting cards for your next turkey dinner.

Card details:
- Pumpkins and border - Silhouette.
- Give Thanks sentiment - T.A.W.S. Give Thanks
- Custom size envelopes - Envelope Punch Board (We R Memory Keepers)
- Envelope inside flap - Reflections (Paper Smooches).
- Envelope seal - Acorn -  Silhouette (I love adding seals to the envelope closures...it adds a nice little bit of something to an otherwise boring backside)

  2. Perfect in every way, Geri! From the beautiful stamping on the envelope flap (that grabbed my attention right way - LOVE!), to the pretty pumpkins accented by the delicate swirl, to the sweet little acorn sealing the envelope with love. Such a lovely set - anyone would be thankful to receive these, especially from someone as thoughtful as you!

Love the envelope flap, the swirled pumpkins (oh, I can picture swirled trees/ornaments/stars for Christmas, hearts for Valentines, eggs for Easter...) and the sealed with a kiss acorn (you're right:boring backside need some 'plumping up' - and you've done it!). Darling, clever, perfect gifts!!! Hugs,
