Holiday Place Settings

Shelli Gardner did a presentation on TV for "Studio 5". They've posted the video and supply list for the projects as well.

You can view the video right here and read up the projects below!

Enjoy:

It's the ultimate party prep three-peat! Get busy now, and one efficient holiday table setting design will carry you through Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's.

 Each place setting includes a napkin ring, nameplate, favor, and confetti - all based on the same template. Just for Studio 5 viewers, Stampin' Up CEO Shelli Gardner shares the design tricks that give that template three terrific twists.

  1. This is such a clever way of using the DSP and having a special place setting. You definitely wouldn't get something like this in a store unless it was handmade. And it would make your guests feel privileged that you did this for them. If you are on a budget and have limited space but want to dress up your table, this is a fun way to do it. Are you going to offer this as a class and kit? If so, I definitely would want it! By making it using reversible paper you could get 2 settings out of it! Plus the video and directions are online, so I could always check back if I should forget what to do! Thanks for sharing this. Mary L
