Easy Table Setting How-To For Your Next Party!

Laura shares this quick and easy way to make your table POP in this step-by-step tutorial!  


Make one setting for the Queen (of King) of the day or make 6 or 8 for a special dinner.  This project idea can be modified to fit absolutely any occasion!

Set includes: card, placemat, napkin ring and place card

Laura used Teresa Collins' Spring Fling products, but of course you can use your favorite patterned paper collection and matching Bazzill cardstock.

Napkin holder w/ die-cut detail

Using Scor-Tape makes adhering the napkin holder a breeze.  You can also use the same idea to personalize things like water bottles or glass candle holders. Home decorating doesn't have to be expensive or permanent for that matter!

personalized place cards 

Place cards make dinner time fun and they let your guests know they were thought about long before they arrived. What a nice way to warm up the atmosphere!

We love hearing from you - let us know what you think about this project idea and how you think you could use it!

How To Make An Accordion Card Holder Purse

Posted by carrie123

If you are like me, there comes times when I am in a bind for a quick gift.  This handy little project will be just the thing you need. It is quick and easy to make.

Once you get the hang of it, you can be whipping these out in about an hour. I actually have 3 of them I have made already for teacher's gifts for the holidays. So, if you are ready let's get started!

First, you are going to need the following supplies:

• CARDSTOCK: One 6"x11" - One 6"x7" - Two 4"x10" - Four 4"x5 3/4" - One 1 1/2' x 11"
• PATTERNED PAPER: Two 3 1/2" x 10" - One 5 1/2" x 9 1/2" - One 3 1/2" x 51/2" - One 1" x 11"
• ROUND CORNER PUNCH
• GLUE or DOUBLE STICK TAPE
• VELCRO
• SCORER
• ADDITIONAL EMBELLISHMENTS

Alright, here is your first step...

Now, attatch the strip you just made to the non adhered part of the 5 1/2 x 9 1/2 paper to make the handle and then finish adhering the rest of the paper down:

Apply glue or  tape  to the left  and  right outer  panels of  the  folded  4 x 10”card stock.


Adhere one side of the 4 x 10 cardstock to back 4" panel of the main piece and do the same for the front of the main piece. Repeat for the second 4" panel.

 You can then decorate the fron any way you like.

I also made coordinating cards to fill the purse.  I now have a cute and quick little gift for someone!
