Hello everyone and I hope you had a really good weekend and are ready for another week.
Today is the Papertrey Ink Blog Hop and we were asked to use monograms on a project. We had a taste of spring last week for a couple of days and it put me in mind of Easter, so I made a little place setting for my daughter, Laura, for Easter Sunday Lunch.
This was the place card made with the place card die and harvest gold card embossed with white ink.
Next came the napkin ring just made with a strip of card, topped with circles made with Limitless Layers Circles
Then a little favour box for some little choccie treats
I had a big problem with the card cracking on this box. I ended up making three before deciding it would have to do because I couldn't waste any more precious PTI card stock. I tried just folding the lines that the die had scored, and then re scoring them with my bone folder, and lastly used my scoreboard and an embossing tool. All three cracked so if anyone has tips on how to overcome this I'd be grateful to hear them.
I finally stamped a sunflower image onto a paper napkin to finish the place setting.
Now I just have to make sets for the rest of us and add some spring flowers and we will have a pretty table on the day.
I also made an Easter card in the same colours although this doesn't have a monogram. Perhaps I should have put one on the tag.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the hop.
