Table Decor for Every Month of the Year, Part 4

Today, I'll be wrapping up this little series by sharing what I made for October, November and December.

For October, I used our wonderful little Curvy Keepsake Box Thinlits Dies.  They are in our current Holiday Catalog.  I love them!!!  I'll be sharing more ideas for using these in some of my future posts.  They have been super popular and I am constantly amazed and what people come up with using them.

I die cut the leaves, crumpled them, sponged them, added bits of VersaMark ink and sprinkled on a bit of gold EP and heat embossed them.  I then went over them again with the same ink and Iridescent Ice EP.  They are really pretty!
 

For December, I used our retired die to make the doves.  I actually cut 2 layers for each piece of Shimmery White CS and adhered them together, to make the dove more likely to hold up for future use.  I embossed the wings.  I love them!

I hope I've given you some good ideas to use for your own decor.  Any of these centerpieces can be adapted to make use of what you have in your own stash.  Enjoy!

Table Decor for Every Month of the Year, Part 3

Good morning!  Today, I'd like to share the table centerpieces I made for July, August and September.

For July, I made 3-D stars.  I spritzed glimmer paper with Pacific Point to get the blue stars.

For August, I had to rely on stamps I had from before I was a Stampin' Up! demonstrator, to get the right size for these.  This jar has tiny sea shells in it for filler, along with a little sparkly filler.

For September, I used die-cut flowers (had to reposition and cut twice to get more of a sunflower shape.  I added lots of layering, sponging and embossing to make the sunflowers more realistic.  I love how these turned out!

Table Decor for Every Month of the Year, Part 2

Today, as I continue my little series on table decor, let's look at April, May and June.

For April, I designed a large umbrella template and then made several and attached them to be 3-D.

For May, I used larger flowers die cut from our filter paper and spritzed them using shades of our new In Colors.

For June, I used our butterfly die and layered several butterflies, embossing the top layer.

Come back soon for more in this series.  Have a great day!

... and, before you go... here's the best photo for the week.

Table Decor for Every Month of the Year, Part 1

Today, I'm starting a new series to share some ideas with you for table centerpieces... for the entire year!  I volunteered to make centerpieces for our church's Birthday Bash dinner last September, so this is what I designed.  I wanted them to have some uniformity, so I chose large canning jars for each table and filled them with seasonal decor for each month.  I made 3 for each table.  Each centerpiece has lots of sparkle and bling for the filler in the jars and I used lots of pretty ribbons wherever possible.  All the pieces are attached to tiny dowels, so they stand up in the jars.

It was really fun and I think everyone liked them a lot.  The best part, besides making people happy, is that I bought tubs to store them and we'll use them again next time:)

Let's start with January, February and March.

For January, I used left-over snowflakes from one of our kits last year.

For February, I used several hearts die cut from our glimmer paper, scored them down the middle, and attached several so they'd be 3-D. 

For March, I used die cut flowers cut from our filter papers and spritzed them until I got the shade I wanted.  After they dried, I spritzed them again with shimmer mist.

Come back soon to see the rest of my decor for each month.  Have a beautiful day.  I'm off to enjoy my Christmas Retreat today.  We're going to have fun!
