Guess Who's Coming to Dinner?

Hello everyone!  I'm back for Day 2 as a Guest Designer and having oh so much fun!! So yesterday we started with a cute centerpiece for the Thanksgiving dinner table.  Today, I have some neat place cards for you and your guests.  

Whether you are having an elegant dinner or tons of silly fun, or if you are a family that has an "adult" table and a "kiddie" table - then these two ideas should be perfect.  Let's talk about the "adult" place cards first.

These gorgeous monograms are cut with the brand new Folk Art Festival ~ Cricut Cartridge.  And the beautiful fall leaves are cut with the Thanksgiving ~ Cricut Cartridge.  The cardstock for the place card base is from Recollections.  The pretty patterned papers are from the Simple Stories ~ Harvest Lane Collection.  And the brown cardstock for the shadow layer is from Bazzill.    

I used pop dots behind the monograms to add dimension.  To stamp the names, I used the alphabets stamps in the My Creative Time ~ Anyday BINGO & Crossword stamp set.  The ink is brown ~ Technique Tuesday Ink.  I didn't add any other embellishments because I thought these were simply beautiful just like this.

Now for the "kiddie" table:

Don't you just love these little cuties???   The scarecrows are cut from the Simply Scarecrow ~ Cricut Cartridge. The cardstock for their outfits are from the Simple Stories ~ Harvest Lane Collection and the Bo Bunny ~ Double Dots Collection.  And their cute little faces are from the Peachy Keen Stamps ~ The Cornies Face Assortment.

I used a white ~ Sakura Gelly Roll Pen for their eyes and added a touch of chalk for their cheeks.  For some extra bling, I added a few gems from my stash and a flower to his hat above.  I used pop dots behind both scarecrows for more dimension.  The leaves were once again cut from the Thanksgiving ~ Cricut Cartridge.  I just snipped off a couple to have them separate rather than the whole bunch.  And the names were once again stamped with the My Creative Time ~ Anyday BINGO & Crossword stamp set.  

I hope you like them.  It's hard to pick a favorite, but I think I'm a little partial to the cutie patootie scarecrows!  :)
