A couple weekends ago I invited the top demonstrators in my group to my home for an annual recognition event which includes lunch, sharing, a stamping project and a card exchange.
I always try to have a nice table setting with table favors for them to take home. This year I went with a north-woods theme and used some pine cone dishes I purchased at a Thrift Store this summer.
The pine bough dies & pine cone dies from the Pretty Pines Thinlits worked perfect for making coordinating table favors.
I used gold foil for the pine cones and the 1/4″ Copper Trim which added a little elegance to the projects, plus it coordinated with the gold foils I used to wrap the homemade turtles.
Below I have a list of the supplies and instructions for these projects along with a short video with assembly instructions.
Remember you can change the cardstock colors and images used to embellish these projects to coordinate with your table setting, or to match the goodies for the gift tote!
