Turkey day


I had to share this little turkey. I thought he was really cute. He is made out of punches. This is one SU showed us how to make and he is really cute on this little notecard. I hope he makes you smile today.
The body is 1 3/8" circle punch, a 3/4" circle for his head, two 1/4" circles for buttons, double circle for eyes, 3/4" square (trimmed down for hat), boho flowers for feet and a part of petal for beak. The wings are scallop punches folded. First you fold down 5 of the little humps, then turn it over and fold in half with the flat part at the top (this half line will be a guide). Then open it up with the humps still folded over and then with the humps in the back fold down top corner to center line (kind of like you do for a paper airplane). Do this for both sides. Then it's done and you place behind your turkey. I then adhered the turkey with dimensionals to give it a little dimension.
The colors I used were pumpkin pie, black, riding hood red, kiwi kiss, chocolate chip, more mustard, ww. Thanks for looking and have a great Turkey day!

Happy Thanksgiving


This is an idea I got from another SU Demo (sorry I don't remember the name). This card is one I made for my club members. I thought it was nice but simple to mass produce. We made several items this past meeting. I wanted them to know how thankful I am for them and we also made a book that I'll show soon, that they could use to write items that they were thankful for. I know our family is blessed to have friends and family members that we love. Don't forget to take time this holiday to say thanks to someone you love and tell them how much you love them.
Have a great Thanksgiving day.

Here is what I used to make this card:
paper: kraft, tangerine tango, ski slope dsp
ink: close to cocoa
stamps: Holiday & wishes
accessories: wide oval punch, daubers, olive narrow grosgrain, chocolate chip wide grosgrain, glue dots and dimensionals
