Thanksgiving Turkey Card

I love Stampin'Up! punches and dies.  This card is just one of the many reasons why.  I saw a great video on YouTube that Tami White did showing how to make this fun turkey card.  I loved it and thought it would be fun to make some for my family.  

I hope you all have a very happy Thanksgiving!!

These fun cards are CASEd (copy and share everything) from Tami.  I loved the way she made them.  

Story behind the cards… I punched out the shapes and used the die for the flip cards ahead of time.  Then while Bruce was driving our family to Steamboat Springs for the week I was sponging and putting the turkeys together in the car. It's amazing how much you can get done with a little prep.  Had a good trip up, though Rabbit Ears Pass was a little scary in the snow storm, low visibility.  Made to Steamboat safely and it has snowed over 2 feet! The snow is beautiful to watch and I brought my November Paper Pumpkin Kit.  So after we finish the giant puzzle it's time for more crafting.  Hope you all enjoy your week!  

To make the turkey you will need the Owl Punch, Bird Punch and Modern Label Punch.

Use the bird body and the wing from the Bird Punch.
Turn your bird upside-down and cut a straight line from the head to the tail, you will cut off the long part of the tail.
Use the foot from the Owl Punch for the end cap of your turkey leg.
Use the Modern Label Punch, cut in half to make the roasting pan.
Sponge the edges of all your punch pieces.
Attach the small foot to the pointed end of the wing to make your drumstick.
Use a dimensional to attach to the turkey body.
Place your turkey body on to the Scalloped Circle (Very Vanilla) then the roasting pan (Cajun Craze).

Owl Punch Bat Card

I participated in a 3 x 3 card swap at the Stampin'Up! convention during the summer and got some wonderful ideas from that swap.  One of my favorite ideas was a sweet card that used the Owl Punch to make a bat.  I loved this idea, so I made it into a standard size card to offer as one of the projects at my Halloween class.  

 Here's the card I made for class.  

Stamps:  Googly Ghouls (Holiday Catalog)

Paper:  Basic Black, Night of Navy, Daffodil Delight, Early Espresso and Whisper White

Inks:  Basic Black Classic and Whisper White Craft ink

Googlies, Big Shot, 3 inch Circle die, 1/2 inch Circle Punch, White Gel Pen, Paper Snips, Stampin' Sponge, Dimensionals

Here's the wonderful 3 x 3 card that inspired me.  I was so sad to see there was no name inside this card, I wanted to give her credit.

Pansy Watercolor Card

I have seen lots of variations on this card, and what fun!  Here are the supplies I used and how I made those fun pansies.  The great thing about the Shimmery White card stock is the sparkle you get when you are done.  It may not show up that well here, but I love how it looks when the light hits it.  Contact me for more information at tam_morton@earthlink.net.

Supplies:

Perfect Punches and Sincere Salutations stamp sets

Card stock:  Very Vanilla, Elegant Eggplant and Shimmery White

Ink:  Elegant Eggplant ink pad and refill, Daffodil Delight refill

Big Shot with Manhattan Impression Folder and Top Note die

Butterfly, Wide Oval  and Large Oval Punches

Rhinestone Brads and the NEW Jewels - Rhinestones

Butterfly Pansies 

1.     Punch out two butterflies from Shimmer White cardstock (two for each flower).

2.     Spritz them with water (allowing the water to puddle and pool).

3.     Load Aqua Painter with Eggplant Envy ink (from a re-inker)  and touch the brush to the outer edges of the butterflies.   The ink will spread, but you might have to "help" it along.

4.     Touch the middle with Daffodil Delight Ink (from a re-inker)

5.     Let mostly dry (you can let sit, dab a little off, or heat set)

6.     Curl or push up edges so flower curls up a little.

7.     Adhere one butterfly crosswise over the other one by using a brad, or glue together and put a Jewel on top.

Fun with Punches

I just love all the punches Stampin'Up! offers.  My punch class featured some of these fun punches.  Here are cards from my class, and then I wanted to share some other fun card ideas too.

Contact me for a kit of the cards from the punch class.  You get 6 cards in the set for $12, plus shipping.  Card stock is scored and punched, plus the Big Shot work is done for you too.   Do your own stamping and have some great cards to share.

Tammie's Punch Card Class

Do you see the sparkle on the pansies?  I used Shimmery White paper with my aqua painter and ink refills to color them.  Use two butterfly punches to make the flower.  How cute is that?  Plus to make it easier to mail, I used the new rhinestone Jewels for the flower centers.

More ideas for punches on your cards...
First the two-step bird punch

I think my favorite new punch could be the owl punch, or maybe the bat, or maybe...

Close up of the owl in the grass card.  I sent this cute card out to a few customers.  I just love the punches.  Punch 3 times out of 3 different colors and make 3 different owls just like in the Thinking of You card.

Supplies used:
Stamps:  Inspired by Nature, Hello
Cardstock: Crumbcake, Chocolate Chip, Cajan Craze and Whisper White
Ink:  Crumbcake, Chocolate Chip
Punches:  Owl, Scallop Oval, Large Oval, Oval

This sundae card was an idea right out of the magazine that demonstrators get, Stampin' Success.  I had so much fun making this one last year I had to include it now.
