Last Minute Thanksgiving

November 22, 2012 8:00:00 AM MST

Ok... the Turkey is in the oven, the pie crusts are cooling and those feather-light overnight rolls are rising. It's time for some last minute touches, but after days of preparation, the simpler the better... right? That's what our Thanksgiving printables are all about. They're quick, easy, and beautiful.

There are printables for everything from napkin rings and place cards to hearth garlands and menus. All it takes is a quick download and a pair of scissors (or our coordinating dies if you want to be extra-efficient).

The best part!? You won't even have to leave the house! 

We made this collection with our Thanksgiving Printables combined with our Place Setting Die and Leaf Punches Die.

Happy Thanksgiving! We hope your day is filled with warmth and family and void of smoke and burnt edges.

Brightly Tipped Feather Tags

November 21, 2012 10:55:05 AM MST

We fell in love with some wooden feather gift tags we saw at Anthropologie. We were so inspired that we decided to make our own paper version! These Anthropologie-inspired brightly tipped feathers are so elegant, and so simple to make!

Just cut feathers out of craft colored card stock and paint tip with brightly colored paint! You can use our Feather Die or our Feather Headband Die!

So easy and so elegant! What do you think!?

*See our very own Laura Giddens' blog, Copper Top, for even more beautiful photos!

Easy and Fun Thanksgiving Kids Table Ideas

November 20, 2012 8:41:00 AM MST

Ok. So you have your elegant and impressive grownup table all set - now what to do for the kiddos? Nice China, cloth napkins and letterpressed menus might be lost on them, but why not create some fun decorative crafts? We made this quaint setting with dies from our Cornocopia Collection of dies and used bright colors inspired by the crunchy leaves of fall.

Nesting Maple Leaves, Pilgrim Hat, Dimensional Tree

Nesting Maple Leaves make excellent nameplates that can be easily fastened to chairs. They are also perfect for making a gratitude garland or other crafts to keep your little turkeys busy.

Family Tree

November 19, 2012 2:57:00 PM MST

November has us thinking about leaves: raking leaves, jumping in leaves, throwing leaves, raking the leaves up again (because we really need to get these leaves bagged) and then throwing caution to the wind jumping in them again! 

Today we wanted to share our Dimensional Tree Die with you. It is perfect for not "leaf'ing" those good memories behind. We love using it in a scrapbook layout with those colorful fall photos, but it can also be built to stand!

Look at this fun and super easy centerpiece.

Carissa at Sprinkled with Glitter made this beautiful family tree with pictures that we just love.

You can also make a family tree without pictures.

It is a beautiful way to keep your family close to your heart this season. You can even frame it and use it as a wall hanging to place near your family photos.

We love how quick and easy all of these ideas are. They'll quickly beautify a table, wall or scrapbook and still leave time for you to get back out there jumping in the leaves and making priceless memories.
