Thanksgiving Table Decor

I have a post to help you get your Thanksgiving table going from ordinary to fabulous without a lot of time! This month I was asked to make some tablescape items for Thanksgiving using Tonic punches. I was up for the challenge since I haven't made anything like this in awhile. I took some time to sort through my punches and see what might work well together. I played a little and then came up with some very crude sketches. Next thing you know Voila! I had some awesome pieces to make my Thanksgiving table look spiffy.


The items I made really didn't take much time at all. I took two pattern papers from the Teresa Collins Giving Thanks line and then 3 coordinating cardstocks to work with. Less is more and easier to work with.  I then used 4 punches to come up with my design. One was a border punch (Simplicity Dotty) and the other was a border strip (Simplicity Daisy). I then took the multi detailed punch butterfly which I love to use along with the mini leaf. This design would work with any of your favorite punches or diecuts as well!

Here is a sample of what it all look likes and close ups are below:

Here is the setting all set up and ready to go. I hope you enjoy it or get an idea for your own table.

Happy Creating!

Fathers Day Card!

We have a way busy weekend! We have supper with one family for fathers day, a wedding and then lunch with the other family.. all in one weekend! Not a bad way to spend a weekend! With all the bustle I did get a fathers day card ready. I used Echo Park's Note to Self paper and stickers and course my tonic tools!

Take a peek!

For cards I like simple ideas! I think the color of these papers work really well for a manly card. If you want step by step instruction on how to create this card click here.

I hope everyone has a great weekend and Happy Creating!
