Just popping in to wish you and yours a happy Thanksgiving Day!
We celebrated yesterday with turkey & all the trimmings, so today is a time to kick back, enjoy each others company (and the leftovers, lol). I'm even going to play a bit with my stamps this afternoon - wahoo!
Here's a quick punch project that can be used to decorate a card, scrapbook page, napkin ring, place setting cards, or even cupcakes (attach to a short skewer & stick it into the centre of the cupcake)...this one's easy so even the kids can help assemble....
Use the Stampin' Up!scallop circle punch twice with chocolate chip card stock, and once each from ruby red, more mustard and old olive card stock (all in the Earth Elements colour family. Save a scrap of more mustard card stock for the beak.
Set aside one of the chocolate chip circles, and cut the remaining four in half (you can save the other half to make a second turkey!)
Trim the last chocolate chip circle so that there are three scallops are at the bottom (feet) and only one scallop at the top (head). As always, you can click on the photo for a closer look. Assemble all with a little glue, add 2 white dots with the uni-ball© Signo Gel Pen (page 193 of the Fall & Winter Catalogue) for eyes and snip a small triangle from your more mustard scrap for a beak.
Happy Turkey Day!
Awesome, I made them with the boys for napkin rings, they were a big hit and a great and easy craft for the kids!!
