Not a Turkey!

 Hi friends!  Have you had a chance to check out the Thanksgiving release from Kat Scrappiness yet?  I created a few cards for the release that I haven't shared with you yet, so I thought today was a good day for it. 

This card features some of my favorites from the release!  I used the new 3D Pop Up Box Die to create my card base along with the Grass Add-On Dies. I inked up the grass panels with Distress Ink to add a little bit of depth to them. 

I colored up several images from the Gobble Gobble stamp set with Copic Markers (listed below), die-cut them using the coordinating Gobble Gobble Dies and set them aside.  I die-cut the tree from the Crafters Essentials Fall Dies and I embossed my sentiment in gold and backed the panel with orange card stock.  To assemble the card, I determined where I wanted the elements to go and adhered them to the backs of the grass panels before I put the card together.   The best part is that this card folds flat to go in an envelope.

Colors Used: 

Burgundy - E49, R59, R29, R24

Orange - YR18, YR27, YR24

Gold - YR24, Y26, Y23, Y21

Teal - BG49, BG57, BG53, BG11

I literally cannot get enough of these cute turkeys!  I just love them!  I hope you have been inspired to get crafty!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Thanksgiving - Eat Chicken!

Hi crafty friends!  Today, I am over on the Kat Scrappiness Blog sharing a project and I wanted to share it here with you!  You may that remember that recently, I participated in a Live Craft & Chat with my crafty friends, @LV Handcrafted and @stamprgrl to celebrate World Card Making Day.  We had an absolute blast and I was able to complete this card.  

During the Craft & Chat, Linh, Dalis and I all worked from the same sketch from CardMaps.  It was so much fun because each one of our cards were drastically different.  I colored the turkey from the Kat Scrappiness Gobble Gobble stamp set with Copics (listed below) during the live.  That was an adventure.  I have never colored in front of people - add having to talk on top of that, and OMG. Once I finished coloring him, I cut him out and set him aside. 

This is the sketch that we used. 

 

I layered 4 different squares from the Gobble Gobble 6 x 6 Paper Pad onto colored cardstock squares and adhered them to my card front.  I die-cut a circle and I stamped one of the sentiments from the Happy Fall Y'all stamp set. I cut the sentiment strip into a banner, along with two strips and adhered them to the underside of the circle before placing it on the card front and trimming off the excess.  

To complete the card, I tied a loopy bow from gold metallic thread and placed it behind the turkey before adhering it to the card front, followed by some strategically placed Chocolate Jewels.

Copics Used: 

Burgundy - E49, R59, R29, R24

Gold - YR24, Y26, Y23, Y21

This card was so much fun to create, doubly so, as it was done while spending time with crafty friends!  If you missed out on the Live Craft & Chat, don't fret!  We will be doing it again on October 22, 2022.  This time we will be creating a fun-fold card together!  

Please make sure to head on over to the Kat Scrappiness Shop!  She has absolutely EVERYTHING you could possibly need to create cards for all of the upcoming holidays, and then some!  

Thank you so much for stopping by!
