QuicKutz Fun - Pumpkin Place Settings

Over the weekend worked on some Thanksgiving Cards. Then a friend wanted place cards for her Thanksgiving Dinner. Here's me thinking, yep sure. If I were to put place cards out that would be the beginning of musical chairs at my house. Anyway here they are:



Recipe: Quickutz Pumpkin Die

Bazzill Card Stock in Fall Colors
Lightly chalked the edges to give it a little depth;
Names were typed on the ocmputer
Leaves were from the floral section of the craft store. I found these cute little leaves and adhered them with medium Zots.

Wishing You A Merry Chicago Christmas

Here's my first attempt at a Chicago Christmas Card. I am waiting to get the cityscape from QuicKutz and then I'll do another version, but for now the buildings were hand pieced. I used my QuicKutz for the green felt bow ,Merry Christmas sentiment and the stars and snow balls.

Here's a suggestion, when using felt you will need to add a sheet or 2 of paper to cut the felt. Also, be aware there are a variety of felt types. What works best on the QuicKutz is the type that is a little stiffer (some even have the glue backing). It costs a little more, but it works much better and there is less fraying or fuzzies.

TFL.
