Fancy Bath Towels

I needed a birthday present for a young lady. I pulled out my Fabric Ribbon sample sheets then went shopping for bathroom towels. I actually take my sample sheet with me so that I can match it to the towels. Here is what my sample sheets look like.






After I matched up the fabric ribbon to the towel color I made three sets of fancy bathroom towels.

Set 1:
The pre gathered lace has a gold thread running through it and I thought it went well with the color combinations.
Set 2:

I had to gather the lace on this one. It was worth the effort as I love the way it turned out.

Set 3:

I only had one size of the fabric ribbon so I used it on all three towels.
Recipe:
Ribbons and lace - all were from stash
Thread, bath towels, sewing machine, pins, iron and ironing board

Thanksgiving Recipe Cards

I decided this project needed some larger recipe cards. So I made these up digitally. They are pretty basic, but I think they turned out OK. I have three on regular white paper and three on vellum paper.

Thanksgiving Organizer

I found this Holiday Organizer on Stamping and Scrapping with Jen and had to make one for Thanksgiving. It seems that everyone is already onto Christmas projects or are still making Halloween projects and I need to do something for Thanksgiving.

After I scored the folder I painted gold paint around all edges as I wanted my Organizer to have a gold border. Instead of the staple on the front to hold the ribbon on I use two small brads as I have a wider ribbon on this. The ribbon was a wire ribbon that I pulled the wire out of. I used the Bleeding Cowboys font for Thanksgiving on the front. The leaves are stamped on vellum and then embossed.

I'm not sure how everyone else who is making these decorate the inside covers. I kept my front pieces cut to the same size as the inside ones. I stamped the Celebrate, Family, and Friends on vellum and then embossed with clear embossing powder.

I used the Cricut for the T and stamped hanksging in gold a scrap piece of paper and attached it to the T with jute.

Inside the first pocket I have stamped a border on two pieces of vellum. The second pocket is a leaf stamped as a border down the side. The third pocket is a set of recipe cards from See Jane Scrapbook. In the last pocket I have three different sizes of envelopes with a border stamped across the top of two of them and autumn stamped on the last envelope.
