Join Us For Dinner–October New Product Tour

So, did you shop yet? Well, what are you waitin’ for? Get yourself on over to the MFT Boutique! Then be sure to check out what all the designers have for the New Product Tour. You can get all the links at the MFT Blog.

I’m using a couple of new sets for my project:
PI – Turkey Time and Thankful Leaves and its companion dies, Die-namics Fall Leaves. I’m also using more new dies: Die-namics Sunflower, Die-namics Fishtail Flags Layers STAX, and Die-namics Framing Flourishes.

I decided to make a Thanksgiving dinner set. We’re asking some friends over for dinner, so this was a perfect opportunity to make a cute invitation card and accessories. And, another chance to use Thankful Leaves :)

OK, first up is the card. I stamped the little PI and colored most of the image with Copic markers.

Except for her paper pieced dress and the “silver” platter, on which I used a silver metallic pen.

I
also couldn’t resist making another Die-namics Sunflower for this card. LOVE all the detail on this flower! The leaves were made with my Die-namics Royal Leaves.

And here’s the inside, with the actual invitation. I’ll write a little note with the specifics  when I get ready to send it.

I thought it would be cute to have a menu posted. So, I printed it out and mounted it on some card stock and patterned paper. Then I cut and stamped some leaves, using the rock and roll technique, and tied on a Hot Fudge button with hemp cord before adhering them to the menu.

Here’s a close up of the leaves on the menu.

I also wanted to have favors for everyone, so I came up with this super easy idea. I have these little mini lunch sacks that will be filled with a portion of the guest’s dessert of choice when they leave. I made a sentiment flag with both my
Die-namics Fishtail Flags STAX and the new Die-namics Fishtail Flags Layers STAX, new this month. We’ve been needing these layer dies so now we’re all set. I stamped the sentiment on Whip Cream card stock and added a leaf trio.

…and one of the sentiment flag. Fishtail flag layers. Be. Still. My. Heart.

There are only going to be four or five of us, but I thought a place card would be a nice touch. I stamped the name on a Die-namics Designer Labels 3 STAX die cut using my Wendy Alphabet set, added a new Die-namics Framing Flourishes die cut across the bottom and another leaf at the top.

And, last, but not least, a matching napkin ring. I cut a strip of Kraft card stock and joined it into a circle, then covered it with Tangy Orange card stock, patterned paper, and finally, a strip of Tangy Orange ribbon. To finish it off, I added another leaf cluster.

Here are the Die-namics dies I used on this project:
