Here in the US we are coming up on the Thanksgiving holiday this week. It seems creating place cards for Thanksgiving dinner is a popular thing to do, however as much as I love Thanksgiving and spending time with m y Family during the holiday we have never been formal enough for place cards. Most the time we leave the food on the counter and fill our plates like a buffet then find a place to sit (usually at multiple tables because there are so many of us). Maybe it’s a mountain thing, I don’t know, but I do like the idea of each person having their own special place to sit even if my family doesn't do it. So I decided to create a different take on place cards and make them more like party favors.
I don’t know about you, but I usually end up so stuffed at Thanksgiving that I don’t always have room for dessert. So I created a place card on a little take out box that could be filled with a treat to be taken home and enjoyed later. I found the little box at Michael’s, but really you could use any container you choose. I used Lawn Fawn’s Turkey Day mini set for the turkey and sentiment. The conversation bubble was drawn by hand and the turkey was stamped out on pattern paper from Studio Calico’s Autumn Press Paper pad. I used Lawn Fawn’s Harold’s ABCs to stamp out the name and scrap green cardstock to create the grass.
Big thanks to Danielle for letting me post for her readers today. She always has such fabulous creations, I always enjoy seeing what she has created! Have a fabulous day!
