Step 1: Dab Embossing ink onto chippie until fully covered.

 

Step 2: Pour Marigold Embossing Powder over top, remove the excess, and then heat powder until fully melted. (Note: you can repeat this step if you would like thicker coverage. Just wait until first layer cools down.)

 

Step 3: Using Coffee Archival Ink on a Mini Ink Blending Tool, Ink the edges of the embossed Chippie to give it some dimension.

 

Step 4: Repeat Steps 1-3 using Love Letter, Sage, and Cranberry Embossing Powders.

 

Step 5: Cut name tags out of Kraft Heavystock and write your dinner guests names with a leaf doodle. Ink the edges with Coffee Archival Ink.

 

Step 6: Using the Leaf Prints stamp set, randomly stamp leaves onto napkin using Olive, Plum, and Sepia Ink. (Note: Be sure to stamp leaves in the corners so that when you fold the napkin you have a pleasant design.  See next step.) Heat set the ink with a dry iron.

 

Step 7: Punch a hole I the leaf right under the stem as shown. Cut a length of Jute to 15”. Glue name tag onto the embossed leaf. Fold napkin as shown.

 

Step 8: Insert the jute through the punched hole and tie around the napkin, making a bow in the front as shown.

 

Step 9: Repeat with the other leaves and napkins and they are ready for your Thanksgiving table!
