Not Just For Table Decor!

As a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator, there are many perks. One of those is the opportunity to pre-order items from upcoming catalogs so we have time to create and share before the catalogs are released. One other perk is getting a discount on certain bundles, depending on your title. With my pre-order from the Holiday Catalog, I was able to order the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit at a significant discount. Now, I wasn't sure that I would use this bundle for it's intended purpose, but I couldn't pass up the discount ~ right?


I love versatility! At convention, Sarah showed us an adorable album that she created, which I will definitely try, but I was looking for something a little simpler. I saw a card similar to this, so I recreated it using items that come in this kit. I added just a couple of other products. The Very Vanilla Card Stock for the base, the sentiment, from the Truly Grateful Stamp Set, and the Bitty Banners Framelit Dies. If you don't have these dies, you can easily hand cut your banners.

I love texture, and this Bark Paper has a wonderful texture to it. It looks like real tree bark! The leaves are pre-cut die-cuts on printed paper. I sponged the edges to soften it a bit, and make it look as if it is changing colors with the fall season.

The items in the Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit are exclusive to this kit. The stamp set can be found in the Holiday Catalog, and the Bitty Banner Framelit Dies can be found in the Annual Catalog.

Check back tomorrow. I have a couple more creative ideas to share with you on how you can use your Thankful Tablescape Simply Created Kit!

Just a friendly reminder that the PUMPKINDEAL will be expiring soon. If you'd like to join and get your first 2 months at half price, you'll need to do that before midnight, August 31. Click HERE to join now!
