'Give Thanks' Candle Jar

I have seen a couple of these lately that other people have made, so I had to make one! This was one of my favorite crafts that I made as a kid. The last one I made was in second grade as a Mother's Day gift, so it has been awhile. They are still just as fun to make though and will make great gifts!

The jar is covered with brown tissue paper, I glued some ribbon around the top, and the pumpkin is just on a piece of cardstock attached with a pop-dot on the outside. The pumpkin and the 'Give Thanks' semtiment are both from the Family, Food & Friends stamp set.

I took a picture of the jar while it was lit so you can see the glow that it gives off.


I have some more tissue paper that I bought yesterday to do some Christmas themed jars. I will post pictures when I get more done!

Thanksgiving Dinner SOF Challenge

One of the SOF challenges is to make something for the Thanksgiving Dinner table, so I have made a place card.
The flower is one of the White Florals that I just brayered over with the Autumn Leaves Kaleidacolor pad. Super simple to do and you can make your flowers match any project! The background is stamped with the Autumn Leaves Kaleidacolor Pad, and the name strip is sponged with the same ink. The background stamp is from Curls & Swirls, and the letters are from Mini -bet. I'm so glad that I finally got Mini-bet. Not only is it one of the least expensive alpha's that I have bought ($7.95), but it is quickly becoming one of my most used. The letters are small enough that they will fit on just about anything.

If you haven't checked out Stamptoberfest yet over on 2Peas, you should. These challenges are a lot of fun!
