Without further ado, here is my card for the blog hop.


I paired the new Flatware 2 dies with the also brand spanking new Best Buds stamp set. =)


The beautiful banner from the Best Buds set is stamped with Antique Linen Distress Ink and colored with Copic markers then fussy cut out.


I cut the flatware from PTI's Luxe Silver cardstock and matted them with a mini doily. I thought this would be a wonderful thanks for your hospitality card.

That's all from me. Don't forget to leave a comment for a chance to win! =)

Have fun hopping and thanks for stopping by!

This idea would be great for invitations, thank yous, and family get togethers. Even for work related pot lucks. I hadn't thought that the cutlery die could be used so many ways. Thanks!

What a wonderful card. If you take the card base and sentiment away, the rest would work as a "place card" for a dinner customizing the banner with the person's name.
