Crafty Thanksgiving

Happy Thanksgiving from all of us here at I'm Impressed!  We thought we’d share this quick and easy fall craft idea with you, great for place cards at your Thanksgiving table or a favour afterward.

We simply cut out a pillbox from kraft card  and then used the leaves from Sizzix Thinlits Dies Fall Foliage by Tim Holtz to create windows. Covered the holes with piece of acetate using double back tape and assembled the pillbox.  We then embellished the box with twine and more leaves we cut out using the same set. We kept it clean and simple but this project has so much potential.  OH! I almost forgot the last step, we  filled it with E.T’s  favourite Reeses pieces! Did I just date myself there??

Card of the Week

Ceci used Memory Box dies to create this lovely card. The first step was to die cut 'Chloe Stem' and 'Delightful Peony' from baby blue and cream cardstock. She then stamped "thinking of you" on a 'Bistro Label' die cut with some Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink. After assembling it she used a sheer blue ribbon to finish it off. ‪#‎memorybox‬
