Falling for Fall.  Earlier this week Cricut sent me a box of gold awesome.  I immediately thought about what a beautiful party I could style using all of the fabulous gold toned products!  Falling for Fall came together quickly and turned out beautifully.  I needed to keep my costs *way* down for this too, so I didn’t purchase anything but the food and some extra gold spray paint. (I ran out about half way through spray painting the pine cones I gathered when I took the dog for a walk)

I was able to repurpose or create all of the decor using my Cricut Explore and a few cans of gold spray paint!  The centerpiece for the table was an old window my mom gave me.  I added Falling for Fall with gold Cricut vinyl in different fonts.  Then, I used Cricut Poster Board, Metallics in gold tones to cut out little leaves from the Cricut Design Store.  I hot glued the leaves to fishing line and attached them to the window frame.  I framed the window with tall glass apothecary jars.  One was full of gold spray painted pine cones.  On the outside of the glass, I added the word FALL with white Cricut window cling. The other jar is where we put our wine bottle corks.   I used a piece of scrap burlap and iron on hem to create a table runner.  It was nice, but too plain, so I used Cricut Iron On Gold Glitter to make small polka dots and randomly ironed them on the table runner.  It was a subtle, but lovely addition to the table.  Since I *may* have cut out too many, I added some to small canvas favor bags too.

I added desserts to various cake plates in front of the window.  I bought croissants and eclairs from Sam’s club, and made cupcakes.  I was able to purchase a cupcake wrapper from the Cricut Design Store ($0.99, not included in the subscription) and cut it out using the gold poster board.  To keep waste to a minimum, I cut the leaves and the cupcake wrappers from the same pages.  (Standard cupcakes are 7.35″-7.5″ long)  I added a circle I cut from Anna Griffin’s new glitter card stock (available on October 7th) on the cake plate to give it an unexpected pop of color and glam.  I LOVE this paper!  The shiny look of glitter without the glitter all over the place!  It is A-Mazing!

In front of the cake plates, I swagged gold painted mini pumpkins and pine cones.  I had white chargers left over from another project, so I added gold glitter card stock circles to them, and added clear serving plates on top.  I served juice and champagne.  The champagne glasses are inexpensive Ikea glasses with gold paint pen dots on the bottom of the flute.  I love straws, especially straws with little flags, so I made some using Anna Griffin’s fun new gold toned washi sheets (also available on October 7th) and a flag shape from the Design Space Store.  Easy peasy! I used the same washi sheets to make cello bag stickers.
