Warning: Slice Enabling Ahead

Slice + Patterned Paper + Cheapo Target Frame That's Been Hanging Around My House For An Eon Collecting Dust =

This piece will go in Sadie's room once we rearrange. We're getting an art table in there and moving some furniture around.

Now...for another project...I demonstrated this as a make-and-take at my LSS, Scrapbook Destination, yesterday:

Slice + Cardstock + Ribbon =

Details:
Making Memories Slice
Making Memories Fall/Back to School (Turkeys and Leaves) and Basics 1 Cartridges (Tag)
Bazzill & Prism Cardstock
American Crafts Ribbon

Directions:
  1. Cut a 1.5" X 11" strip of kraft cardstock
  2. Score the strip 1" from each end and at the midpoint (5.5")
  3. Fold on the scored lines and adhere one of the 1" flaps inside the other to form the flat bottom of the placecard
  4. Using three different colors of cardstock, cut a 2" turkey, a 2.5" turkey, and a 3" turkey
  5. Cut the tail feather portion off of the two larger turkeys and layer them behind the 2" turkey (alternative to steps #4 and #5: cut three 2" leaves - choose three different leaf shapes and three different colors of cardstock)
  6. Adhere turkey (or leaves) to the top of the placecard
  7. Cut a 2" tag from white cardstock and write name on it
  8. Cut an 8" piece of ribbon
  9. Pass ribbon through placecard, with the patterned side facing the back of the placecard
  10. Bring ends of ribbon together in the front, matching the dull sides together (patterned sides out)
  11. Push ribbon through tag and pull each end of the ribbon gently until the ribbon is taut
  12. Tie ribbon in a knot and trim ends on the diagonal
  13. Try not to get gravy on placecards at Thanksgiving so that you can use them again next year :)
Sigh...I love my Slice!
