Calypso Coral Birthday

I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving.  I sure did.  Sydney came here on Wednesday so she could help me get ready for Thanksgiving dinner.  And she was a big help.  We also enjoyed some TV/bed time with Nipper.  When Sydney is here, little Nipper sticks close to her.  On Thursday morning, Matt came over with Vinny (his girlfriend's son).  Between Sydney, Matt and Vinny my morning couldn't have been better! There were 16 of us for dinner and it was wonderful.  I truly am blessed with the very best family and friends. 

Today's card was made when I took a break from die cutting snowflakes~~lots of snowflakes for my Christmas cards.  I used retired Designer Series Paper with Calypso Coral cardstock, ink and twine and a white card base.  It was quick to create and it is a birthday card without balloons!  Have a great day!

Wishing you a very Happy Thanksgiving!  

My Favors

Today I am posting the favors I made for Thanksgiving at our house.  I wrapped each Hershey Treasure in Lawn Fawn pattern paper, made a little tray for the candies and slipped them into SU's 2" x 8" cellophane bags.  The sentiment is from the Basket of Wishes stamp set.  After stamping the tags I needed, I used the Labels and Tags framelits to cut them out.  I then sponged the edges and tied them on with twine, adding off white tulle and decorative embellishments.  Once again, I trimmed down the length of the cello bags.  I made these for a Halloween post last month and I thought those were cute.  These, I think, are very pretty.
 

There will be three children here, so I made them little boxes using Lawn Fawn's Scalloped Treat Box die and Stampin' UP's retired bow punch.  Have a great day!

Owl Punch Turkey

Isn't this Thanksgiving favor cute?  My friend, Kathy Z, made these.  She used Stampin' Up's retired Fry Box die and the Owl Punch.  She layered different sizes of scallop circles on to the front of the fry box.  The turkey's body is the owl body from the punch, minus the ears and adhered using dimensionals.  She added the google eyes, a sentiment, a tiny little beak and heart.  Inside the fry box is a Reese's Peanut Butter cup wrapped in a cellophane bag and tied with pretty ribbon.   If I hadn't already started on my Thanksgiving favors,  I would have copied this one!  Have a great day!
