These little turkeys are too cute to risk being smothered with gravy or crushed with Green Bean Casserole…so I stuck one on a skewer so he could be added to a floral arrangement! Now, how cute is that??? If you do want to risk using him as a placeholder, you can simply write each person’s name on the strip instead of the stamped "Welcome"…either way he’s one turrr-iffic piece of Punch Art!
As some of you already know, my whole household has been turned upside down by sick kids, a sick hubby and then wouldn’t you know it? I had to come down with a Sinus Infection too! The inspiration for this creation?Fever delirium…I was lying in bed, staring at my supplies scattered on the craft table (wishing I had the energy to play) and I must have drifted off to sleep…I dreamt up this little 3-D Punch Art Turkey! I saw exactly how he would go together and just how cute he would be as a place card holder at this year’s Thanksgiving Family Feast!
For those of you who are having trouble visualizing how he goes together, I promise to make a tutorial in the morning…but I am running low on steam and am still recovering 
For now though, here is a close up shot of Tom Turkey:
His beak and waddle are made using SU!’s 3-Flower Punch (retired?) and his wings are simply double-punched circles…and yes, they really do stand on their own! Feel free to add wiggle eyes if you like, but I prefer ol’ Tom just the way he is!
When you want to wish someone a “spook-takular” halloween, you send them a cute card like this one! The cardstock base is cut to 8.5″ x 4.25″ so that even with the added medallion, this card will still fit in a standard envelope. Details: Creepy Crawly DSP, variety of circle punches and the Batty for You stamp set…and don’t forget the wiggle eyes! They just make you smile!
The soft background on this card may look like fabric, but it’s actually a Brayered Plaid created using Stampin’ Up!’s Pumpkin Patch Spectrum Pad. The mesh and brads add dimension and texture to this warm, fall card. Quick Tip: A mask was used to cover the edge of the basket and add to the illusion that the leaves were piled inside. Stamp Set: retired hostess set 2005/2006 IB&C
