Gobble Gobble Gobble

Welcome back to another fun challenge from The Cuttlebug Spot. With Thanksgiving next week, we decided the theme for the next 2 weeks will be Gobble Gobble Gobble. Do something fun with a Turkey.

Here is my turkey. Isn't he cute!?

I had fun making him. I was finally able to use my new embossing folder from Couture Creations called Walrus and Carpenter. I love it. I bought it at the Crop Stop they really have THE BEST folders!

Recipe:

Solid Paper: Kraft- A Muse Studio

Pattern Paper: Turkey feathers-My Minds Eye. Orange chevron-Echo Park

Ink: black-Momento, Vintage photo and Wild Honey Time Holtz Distress ink

Embossing Folder: Walrus and Carpenter-Couture Creations

We'd love for you to play along at The Cuttlebug Spot.

Taking the week off...

Good Morning.

I am going to take the week off from blogging.

Have a wonderful Thanksgiving Holiday.

I am going to create a couple of items to blog about next week. I am already looking forward to posting them.

PRIZE TIME!!!

Leave me a comment about what time you are going to go shopping on Friday, and what you are after. I will choose one to send a "stamping" prize to.

It's Tuesday, you know what that means...

... The Cuttlebug Spot Design Team day!

Making these just proves that Thanksgiving is just around the corner.

And then that also means that Christmas is just around the next corner.

I found online how to make these super cute triangle boxes.

All it is, is a 6" x 3" piece of paper, folded in have. The next thing you do is mark the center of each end then score a line from the center of the end to each side of the center fold. Whalla! now you have a triangle box. You can see more of what I mean in the second picture.

Cuttlebug Spot Tuesday

Thanks for checking back with us. We are now going to post on Tuesdays. I hope you had a wonderful Halloween! I did. All those little kiddies in their costumes were so cute. We had about 16 kids stop by our house. Jon and I had my parents over for dinner and candy handing out. They don't get any kids at their house, and I know they like to see what the kids are wearing.

For this Thanksgiving invitation, I thought I'd do a easel card.

This die really lends itself to and easel card.

Isn't that Emily's Bouquet just beautiful. I don't use it enough. You could use this design for almost any invitation. I places a turkey in the pocket but, imagine placing a die-cut flower in the pocket or a baby rattle. It can be for any occasion.

Here's the sketch

Here's another project I made just for this occasion:
He's a Turkey ATC! I had so much fun making him.
Take a look at his belly button :) it's holding on his tail!
I ran all of his tail fathers through the Cuttlebug, he needed to have a little texture added.



The stamp on his chest is embossed in clear and then I took some distressing ink and rubbed over the thanks part so the paper behind it would take the ink (the embossing resists it) and the thanks would then pop out.
