Give Thanks Daisy Centerpiece

Fall is my favorite season, for sure. I love banners, candle holders, ceramic pumpkins, wreaths, and more. So, when I find a cute fall home decor piece, you know I can't resist!

I filled this divided wooden box, found at a local craft store, with an autumnal daisy floral arrangement featuring the Daisy Delight Bundle.

Into each of the 6 compartments I placed a floral foam block and 12 daisies - 2 each in 5 colors: Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry, Elegant Eggplant, Tangerine Tango, and Very Vanilla. All but the Very Vanilla daisies are stamped with the same color ink as the cardstock to create a tone on tone look to add a subtle textured-look.

I used a variety of embellishments in the centers of the daisies - the daisy center stamp, sponge daubers, and gold faceted gems to decorate the centers of the daisies.
  • Cajun Craze and Crushed Curry Daisies - Crumb Cake cardstock stamped with Chocolate Chip ink for centers
  • Very Vanilla Daisies - Crumb Cake ink sponged in the center
  • Tangerine Tango Daisies - Tangerine Tango cardstock stamped with Tangerine Tango ink topped with a gold faceted gem
  • Elegant Eggplant Daisy - gold heat embossed center. I didn't use the embossing buddy here because I wanted extra little splashes of gold embossing powder for an added shine.

To maximum each sheet of cardstock, I tried to fit as many stamped daisies as I could on each sheet of cardstock. One 8-1/2" x 11" sheet of cardstock can fit 12 stamped daisies. I first stamped the top row. Then I stamped the bottom row. Lastly, I stamped the center row.

All of the daisies were put together and attached to floral wire the same way the Halloween wiggle eye floral bouquet was.

Have you created an arrangement with the Daisy Delight Bundle? What color palette did you choose? I would love to see what you make!

Caramel Apple 6-Pack Treat Holder

This is the second treat holder I had on my Thanksgiving table this year - an adorable caramel apple crate with handle.

Here is my spin on Jeanette Cobb's 6-pack chocolate nugget treat holder. I followed her instructions for the basic 6-pack container and then added my own embellishments and color palette. I also changed the candy to caramel filled chocolate apples. Two caramel filled chocolate apple candy pieces are nestled in each side.

The Wood Textures Designer Series Paper really transformed this 6-pack into an apple crate. The acorns on the sides, copper trim bow, and the sponged doily give this treat holder a sweet, homemade apple pie look perfect for fall and Thanksgiving. The doily is lightly sponged with Crumb Cake ink.

These are the two treat holders for each guest on my Thanksgiving table. I would love to see how you set your Thanksgiving table!

Getting my Pumpkin Spice On!

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope everyone had a wonderful day with family and friends! I wanted to share with you a few treats I made for my Thanksgiving table.

Craft with Beth: Caramel Square Matchbox Treat Holder Thanksgiving Seasonal Layers Painted Autumn DSP Pumpkin Pie Matchbox box Layering Circles Framelits

The first treat holder is a sliding matchbox that holds a caramel square. I first saw these caramel squares in one of my local sandwich shops.

I fell in love with my first bite. I knew I had to make a treat holder with these delectable caramels for my Thanksgiving table. This matchbox holds a Pumpkin Spice Caramel. Yum!

To determine the size of the matchbox base, I measured the largest caramel square's width, length, and height. I drew a template based on my measurements on my grid paper. My matchbox base measures 3-3/4" x 3-7/8". I scored all 4 sides at 1".

Don't be afraid to measure. Whenever I make a box or bag, I use the items that will contain them to help determine the size of the finished box or bag. My grid paper and notebooks are full of measurements and scribbles! You don't have to be an artist. As long as you know what it means, you are good to go! Ask me about my 5 little pumpkins Dutch door card sketch to see what I mean.

To determine the matchbox cover size, I used the box base measurements as a guide. I added the widths of all 4 sides plus 1/16" for each side (or an extra 1/4" total) for ease. The additional ease helps the box cover slide opened and closed. My box cover measures 2" by 6-1/2" and is scored at 7/8", 2-11/16", 3-3/4", and 5-9/16".

It may look like you have one too many sides, but the the last 7/8" wide section is to overlap the first edge for a cleaner more secure cover.

For the top of the box, I made a layered circle, copper maple leaf, and sentiment tag embellishment. The layering circles on the top of the box are a little nod to pumpkin pie.
