Good morning!
It's kind of hard to believe that it's already the 20th of September- the first day of Fall is in two more days! I just don't know how it happens but once school starts for the kids, the days really just fly by!

Having said that, our Thanksgiving weekend is coming soon! October 10th! You know it will be here before you know it! So, here's a great project you can work on to dress up your Thanksgiving table!
This project is made easy using the Stampin' Up Medium Crumb Cake envelopes and the Acorny Thanks stamp set and coordinating Acorn Builder punch! You could even use any Designer Series Paper and color combo you like!
How To Make It:
Start with a Medium Crumb Cake envelope and seal the envelope and then trim one end off 1/8” to create a pouch.
On the open end of the envelope, use a 2" circle punch to punch 1/2 of the circle off the front of the envelope.
Wrap the 2-1/4” x 9-1/2” strip of Moroccan Designer Series Paper around the envelope and secure in the back using SNAIL Adhesive or your favorite adhesive.
Tie the Dapper Denim Ruched Ribbon around the envelope pouch (over the Moroccan Designer Series Paper) and tie in a knot on the front.
From the Acorny Thanks stamp set, stamp 4 acorns and acorn tops (one in each color: Dapper Denim, Early Espresso, Cajun Craze and Delightful Dijon) and punch out using the coordinating Acorn Builder Punch. Mix and match the acorns and tops to create 4 acorns-use SNAIL Adhesive or Glue Dots to put them together. (You will have an extra acorn you can use on a name tag for a place setting or to create more of these pouches for your Thanksgiving table)
Stamp the “Thankful” banner from the Acorny Thanks stamp set and cut it out just using Paper Snips.
Adhere two of the acorns to the front of pouch with SNAIL Adhesive and adhere the third acorn and the Thankful banner with Stampin' Dimensionals.
Create one of these in any color assortment you prefer for each of your dinner guests, insert a napkin and your favorite silverware and place beside your dinner plates.
Tip: Have the kids collect acorns and pine cones from your neighbourhood and place them on a pretty dish or bowl and use them as your Thanksgiving centerpiece!
