A-doily-able Turkey

Pardon my pun but I just can't resist a play on words. (notice I did not say a "good" pun). LOL

I was playing around with my new Adirondack Color Washes and some paper doilies I came across when unpacking. I made this cute little turkey.

I used 3 different sizes of doilies, sprayed the smallest one with Butterscotch, the medium doily with Red Pepper,

and the largest with both Butterscotch and Red Pepper for an orange color.

Here is a video showing how I folded the doilies and decorated the turkey.

The turkey cut files and patterns are part of a package I offer in my Etsy store.

Hope you like the project and get inspired to make some yourself.
Thanks.

Turkey Rosette

I had so many ideas for Thanksgiving crafts that I was never able to get to. Here is a project I made at the last minute just because I had the idea and wanted to see how it would look.

I used different sized rosettes to make the tail feathers for this 3D turkey.
I used scalloped strips cut at 1 inch, 1 1/2 inches, and 2 inches. (My last 2 strips were not long enough. I should have cut 2 strips for each but I was tired :) -LOL I am just now noticing that the middle rosette is turned the wrong way and you can't see the scallops. - I told you I was tired LOL


I used some K & Co patterned paper because I loved the oranges and reds in it. Once you make all the folds, the pattern on the paper does not really matter. All you notice is the color. 


This little guy is only about 2 inches tall, but it would look great cut larger and used as a centerpiece.


I have not converted the svg's into any other files yet, but you are welcome to the svg cut files. I have not written any instructions, but I think you can figure it out :)

Happy Turkey Day!

Paper Cutz Challenge Turkey

The Paper Cutz challenge this week is 


#117: "Let's Talk Turkey!"  Make a card, LO or craft project for Thanksgiving, using a stamped, digital stamp or Cricut cut image of a Turkey . Use any colors you'd like.


I made this turkey treat box.

Here is a close up of the turkey before I added the "gobble" captions.

It is hard to tell from the picture, but the dark brown cardstock is lightly embossed. The light brown is Bazzill that I ran through my printer and printed out the gobble captions and the turkey tracks digi. (I am still learning how to do digi's so any comments would be appreciated.)  The patterned paper is K & Co (I am ALWAYS drawn to the K & Co lines no matter how many brands I look at...LOL)


Here is a link to download this digi file of the turkey tracks

The turkey cut file and digi stamp are available to download at my challenge blog, Cuttin' Up With Class. The "gobble, gobble, gobble" caption is available on CUWC also.


Check out what all the other Paper Cutz DT members have come up with and play along with us.


I also have a "Gobble 'til You Wobble" blog hop tomorrow. You won't want to miss this project :)

Turkey Time

This week at the Cuttin' Up With Class challenge blog, it is turkey time! 


The challenge is to use the free turkey cut file or digi stamp on any project.


I made these two projects.

I turkey time clock so you can let everyone know when dinner will be. The hands of the clock are attached to the wings. The brads allow them to be manually moved and positioned into place.


I also made a holder for utensils.

I used a rosette for the front and used part of a rosette for the tail.


You can get the free files on the CUWC blog and play along with us.
