Christmas Gift Card Holder
Curtsey Boutique Designer
Alyssa McGrew

Every now and then, and event comes up that requires a gift card be given. Gift cards can be very impersonal, though, so I really like to make cards with them that add a personal touch. In this case, I used some glitter snowflakes from the shop to add some holiday sparkle. Now, the gift cards I'm giving at Christmas will feel so much more personalized!

Thanksgiving Day Place Card & Utensil Holder with Andrea Amu

When I came across the burlap bags in my stash of Curtsey Boutique supplies, I knew instantly that they would make wonderfully fancy utensil bags for dressing up our Thanksgiving dinner table!

The chalkboard tags are the perfect accompaniment for displaying everyone's seating arrangement. Better yet, these bags were so easy to put together. I used some faux leaves that I purchased at the local dollar store and started by attaching two leaves to a yellow hand-dyed doily with glue dots. I also adhered a fabric Curtsey Boutique flower on top of the leaves and then affixed the embellished doily to the burlap bag with a heavier glue dot.
