I used the frame stamp and the die to create some "placecards" for my Christmas table - as you can see they are actually little chairs and I still have a few to finish off. The seat is actually a box measuring approx 2"x2"x2" and will be used to hide some Christmas chocolates in. The names were generated on my computer and the poinsettia was cut using my Magnolia doohickey die. The DP is Basic Grey's Jovial range.
I have to thank my dear friend Deb A for this fabulous idea (yup another Debbie and why I'm known as Debbie P - LOL). Her daughter works at a wedding venue and she often brings home the left over favour boxes - this chair was one of those and Deb brought it around to show me. I've drafted it out in my Craft Robo (Silhouette) software and got my craft robo to do all the cutting for me. If anyone would like the GSD cutting file please email me and I'll send it on. I have also drawn out the pattern if anyone would like a printable version - again just email me.
These were soo fun and simple to make - am trying to work out some other variations - maybe having Santa sitting on the chair?!?!?!
Now it's time to keep on hopping - your next stop is Jane's blog.

ReplyDeleteThese are adorable and will make fabulous placecards! I like the papers and the beautiful poinsettia and of course the new die.
ReplyDeleteHi Debbie. This is such an awesome idea! Your Christmas table is sure to look very regal. I think that the names and the frame around them make the whole idea look very sofistacated. (sorry, bad speller!) Anyway I think that your project is wonderful. Thanks for sharing your work. I just love seeing everyone's ideas. Hugs, Lisa G
