All is calm convention table cutlery holder goes to a wedding with Crisp Cantaloupe and Calypso coral

Morning everyone.

Do you remember the gorgeous pictures of my 2014 convention table.  

Here's a close up of the cutlery holder

Isn't this just cute.  Lots of people have asked how I made this.

I was also asked to do an inspiration station at our team training on Sunday with the lovely Michelle.

If you would like to be part of an amazing and creative team then do get in touch or go to

We discussed what she wanted me to do and we decided that recreating the above table would be great, but for another occasion.

So I have remade them, in lovely Wedding colours.

Crisp Cantaloupe meets calypso coral.

I used the box board for the table favours and the napkin rings this time.

The gorgeous flowers have been inked in matching colours and to set of these gorgeous tones i have used Pistachio Pudding and gold glimmer paper.

And here's what you need and the instructions.

CUTLERY HOLDER

Ingredients:

Park Lane DSP

Calypso Coral Cardstock

Crisp Cantaloupe Cardstock

White Organza Ribbon

Glue Dots

Tombow

Dimensional

Tools:

Scoreboard

Trimmer

Envelope Punch Board

Instructions

Cut Calypso coral cardstock to 10” x 4”.    Using a sponge edge the cardstock with calypso coral ink.

Cut the crisp cantaloupe cardstock to 9 15/16ths” x  3 7/8^th”.  Using a sponge and calypso coral ink distress the edge.

Stamp the sentiment on the top

Adhere the two bits together, making sure there is a border on both sides and at the top.

Cut the DSP to 6” x 5”

Using your score board score 3 sides at ¼ “ and ½” .  Burnish

Score the other side at ½”

Using the Envelope Punch Board.  Punch on the side scored at 1/2 “ by lining the paper up at 1” mark.  Turn the DSP over and again punch at 1” mark.

Using your trimmer cut the edges away on each side to form a tab in the middle.  Fold over

Cut away the three outer small squares at the bottom 2 corners.  And cut the along one edge of the last remaining small square.  This will leave a small flap.  Fold edges in to form a small box shape.

Using tombow glue this to the back of your cutlery holder, taking care to line up the bottom.

I hope you enjoy making these for your christmas tables etc.

But I would ask that if you case this project you please link back to me.

Morning Crunchies

How are you all today?  Ive had a very busy weekend, a great class on Saturday and then meeting a customer yesterday for a commissioned order.

The kids are on half term this week, such a shame its grey and dull here in Somerset.

Many of you have commented on Facebook or on my blog about the lovely table setting that I did for Convention.  Thank you.

The basis of the setting was the lovely Letterpress stamp set.  I loved this stamp set from the moment I saw it in the autumn/winter catalogue.  Its so clean and simple yet timelessly elegant.

So this week I will be featuring five cards that have used this gorgeous set.

In today's post:

• Clearance Rack
• Many Merry Stars and Autumn/Winter Supplement
• Letterpress Day 1

But first some news:

Places to check ............. have you checked the Clearance Rack lately.  There are some truly awesome deals there .......... lots of Halloween and Christmas stock.  Gorgeous papers, cardstock and much much more.  Some lovely kits from last year's Autumn/Winter supplement.  So if you missed them last year why not grab them this year.

But hurry these things never stay for very long and once they've gone thats it.

HERES THE LINK TO THE CLEARANCE RACK.

So grab your coffee and go have a browse.

And even more exciting than that ..............

We have a new Autumn/winter Supplement.  And there are just so many divine and gorgeous projects featured in it.  I can't wait to show you.  Super super cute.

Here's the link to the supplement.

autumn/winter supplement

Isn't that Star just super super cute.  I love it so much.  Its from the Many Merry Stars Kit.  You get 26 Stars in Total for just £24.95.  All cut and ready for you to assemble.  The kit includes everything you need to decorate them too.  

Get Your Stars here ....

But please hurry.  Because once this kit is sold out they are not producing any more. 

Anyway on to today's card

Letterpress Day 1

I love the clean and simple lines of this set and love the colours.  Today I have used Lost Lagoon, Pear Pizzazz, and Pool Party.

I have matted and layered Lost lagoon, Whisper white and some All is Calm DSP.

I have also created my own DSP by using the snowflake stamps in all three colours.  This piece is behind the DSP.

The sentiment is in a lovely font and to finish off I added some beautiful sparkly sequins.  I loathe sequins normally but I have to say I have been well and truly won over with this box of beauties from Stampin UP!

Hope you like it.
