I had so many ideas floating around in my head from the Dinner Setting and Program I created last week, that I sat back down to create more items to match the ensemble I showed last week. This time I came up with a set of coasters to go at each place setting. So that the coasters can be used over and over for different occasions I tried to think of something durable to use for the base. Picture frames came to mind! With square frames from my stash, the coasters were an easy and quick project. Mine are 3 x 3 (inside dimension) but I recommend a half inch or inch larger. Keeping with the ensemble I already created, on matching cardstock I stamped the Flourishes Damask Background and embellished it with the same ribbon and punched ovals.
All of the hardware had to be removed from the back of the frame while trying to preserve the backing piece. I simply bordered the back side of the frame with the grabber part of velco and covered the back with felt. When it’s time to change the insides of the frames, the felt will peel back, the picture door will lift, new items can be inserted and finally the felt matched back to the velcro.
I also wanted to create a momento for our guests to take home so I created this pumpkin. The pumpkin is a 9" circle and the fabric I chose was a faux suede from my stash. Although Its difficult to see because of the lighting, I stamped the Flourishes Damask background stamp with Cosmic Copper Brilliance on the fabric and heat set it with my iron. As if I were making a large yo-yo, I ran a big basting stitch around the outside of the circle which I turned down a quarter of an inch. Once finished, I gathered, stuffed then tied closed. To finish I added a scallped circle cut from paper, a large cranberry colored bead with a bronze pearl and tied a green bow for leaves.
Supplies:
Stamps: Flourishes Damask Background
Ink: Brilliance Cosmic Copper (Pumpkin), Brilliance Pearlescent Beige (Coasters)
Paper: Bazzill
Accessories: Nestabilities Oval, Brenda Walton Pineapple Punch-Retired, Ribbon, Velcro, Felt, Faux Suede Fabric, SU Scallop Punch, Faceted Bead, Pearl
Happy Friday, I hope everyone has a blessed weekend!

Those boxes are adorable, especially the soft green one on the far left.
Thankyou for your very clear video tuturial. I cannot wait to have a go at making these.
Thank you so much for sharing – the boxes are ADORABLE! Do you ever write out instructions or make templates? I’m just one of those folks that does better when I can reference instructions. TIA.
Incredibly cute box! Thanks for the amazing tutorial. :O)
Becca, you boxes are so cute. I thought your tutorial was great and love that you are so ‘real’ in the video. Very friendly sounding. Thanks for the tutorial. I’m going to give the box a try.
Hi Becca,
Love your tutorial…
Had a go with some copier paper…way cute…will be making some with card stock for sure…
To hide my excess ribbon on the ‘lid’ I just looped it back so it was secured by the brad on the back side too…still taped the other end though.
Thanks again for your video tutorial
ps..I don’t think your link to the cricut paper is working…well that is to say it’s not working for me – not sure if others are having the same problem
You are just too cute!
Don’t ever change.
These videos are so enjoyable to watch.
Your voice and smooth way of showing
how to do seemingly difficult things is
perfect.

The boxes are cute and your directions were very clear.
But, I really want to comment on the quality of your video. Your voice is calm and soothing; you were not rushed and frantic as so many videos seem to be. CONGRATULATIONS on making a great video.
I went to You Tube to find more of your videos. I found one for the circle frame using punches – again, an excellent video. I wish you had more videos – I really like your style!
