Stampin' Up! Inspiration Saturday!

Good morning and welcome to the weekend...and a brand new feature ~  Stampin' Up! Inspiration Saturday!  On the first Saturday of each month you can wake up to fantastic seasonal inspiration by some of our favourite Stampin' Up! demonstrators showcasing some of the beautiful new products available.   From cards to layouts to home decor and so much more, you'll see the projects and even have an opportunity to win some great products too!  Let's get started...

This Thankful Tablescapes Kit was introduced by Stampin’ Up! with the release of the new Holiday Catalogue. Any table can be transformed into a showstopper with this fun kit!

So we know it’s perfect for creating a beautiful table any time this fall, but what about some bonus project ideas using the Tablescapes Kit?  Stampin’ Up! Demonstrator Allison Okamitsu from Calgary, Alberta has some great projects to share with you! Allison has been a demonstrator for 4 years and is a former pastry chef.

A few words from Allison about her projects:

I’m a home decor junkie! I love seasonal decorations and I’m often making my own. The birch paper ribbon that comes in the Thankful Tablescapes Kit is fabulous and added just the right touch to my project. With just a few additions like Burlap Ribbon, the Truly Grateful Stamp Set and some co-ordinating ink pads, this kit makes a stunning banner!

I like to add little touches of seasonal decorations all over my house, so I thought this frame would be great to bring some of the same elements from the theme of my table and mantle into another room in my home. It was easy to mod podge the birch paper from the Tablescapes Kit to a simple frame and then adhere my paper banner to the front of the glass.

While at Stampin’ Up! Convention this summer I attended a class on mixed media, and I was really surprised at how easy it looked. I used the many patterns of designer paper in the Tablescapes Kit to create the fun canvas.

I went a little wild with this card, I’ll be the first to admit it. I used stamps, ink pads, punches, cardstock, and even a toothpick! But it’s the pocket envelope that’s made from one of the napkin holders in the Thankful Tablescapes Kit that makes this card set so awesome! I think this card and envelope would be a great way to use up any leftovers from your kit once your dinner party is over.

Thank you so much for allowing me to share my love of the Thankful Tablescapes Kit with you. I hope that you can find some ideas here that inspire you to create something wonderful with your kit too!

[Jennifer Scull]

this is too funny you are sharing this kit today, as I was just going through my mini last night and thinking how much I need this for Thanksgiving! also was imagining all of the fun other things I could do with it! ;)
love the inspiration you have shared!

crikey, just pick ONE SU! color?!!?! that is hard! I have over 100 of them.....I guess I use crumb cake the most, but sure do love pool party. not quite navy has been a long time fave of mine. it seems to go with everything!

[Roseanna Crawford]

I love everything Stampin Up!! My favorite go to ink pad is Old Olive. Thanks for the chance to win.

[Alycia]

Great inspiration! It is hard to choose just one colour but for me elegant eggplant. Love the deep purple.

[Carmen L]

Such great ideas! Love to see what others have come up with. If I had to choose just one colour, which really, who can choose just one, it would be Tempting Turquoise but Tangerine Tango is a very close runner up! Thank you for all that you do for us crafters!!

[Carol Lucas]

Love Stammpin Up! My favorite color is cherry cobbler. Perfect for Christmas.

[Gail]

I totally overlooked the birch bark ribbon when I saw this kit in the catalogue. Hope Stampin Up considers offering it as a separate item. My favourite ink pad is probably Cherry Cobbler.

[Angie Walters]

I love the frame! Such cute projects. It's so hard to pick one color. I do gravitate more towards blues. My fave color would be Soft Sky with Pool Party close behind.

[Angela A]

What amazing projects! I love the look of the birch paper too! Gorgeous! I think my favorite color would be chocolate chip... I know, weird to pick brown, but I use it all the time!

[Deb W]

What a great kit. Love the birch bark. Thanks for sharing your ideas and inspiration.

[Jenny Kozar]

Wow what amazing ideas! Looks like a fantastic kit. Thanks for sharing.

[Renee]

I would love to win this new kit to use for family gatherings! My favorite color of Stampin Up ink is Melon Mambo! I love all of the brights though. Thanks for the chance to win!

[Jessica Bavier]

Fabulous projects!!!!! My favorite ink color would have to be rich razzleberry, it's so vibrant and gorgeous!! Thanks so much for the chance to win!!! :)

[Jani]

These are really great ideas. Love the birch paper and burlap ribbon. So versatile.

[Cara Feeney]

I like any shade of green. Could never have too much green!

[Laura G.Turcotte]

Would love to win this! I am so new to Stampin' Up products, that I do not know the colors...I would need a versatile one...one that I can use for all kinds of projects!

[Jen W]

Oh, I love the birch paper - I hope that will be available open stock, too! Favourite colour? Hmm... I still love Concord Crush, even though it's retired. I also love the new Baked Brown sugar that came in my Paper Pumpkin last month!

[marylouh]

Hadn't noticed the Tablescapes in the winter catalog. Glad to see it used. It will be on the order I'm sending in next week.
My favorite color is Real Red

[Christina Switzer]

Love the kit, but especially the birch bark paper. Love all SU colours, but Crumb Cake would be my favourite!

[Sharon Reel]

Chocolate chip... browns go well with my scrapbook pages!!

[Leslie Kiley]

My favorite ink color would have to be beautiful razzleberry! I am loving the birch paper and love the Thanks project!

[Susan Mac Donald]

another great kit, from SU! fave. ink pad, today, that is, rich razzleberry; thanks for the chance to win.

[Kay]

I too have seasonal decorations, and happen to have birch bark candles with birch bark chips (old Pottery Barn) that I decorate my mantle with - would love the kit, especially because of the birch bark paper! I'd probably try the mod podge frame u made. The SU colour I use most would be Crumb Cake.

[Jennifer Reynard]

Wow, absolutely amazing ideas made from this kit. Totally thinking out of the box. Love the birch paper ribbon and how you have used it. Congratulations on all of the lovely decor ideas and getting published on Scrapbook and Cards Today Blog! :)
Favourite Stampin Up colour.....hmm...I have many but Daffodil Delight definitely makes me smile as it is so bright and happy!
