Gobble Gobble.....Turkey Candy Stick Topper {Trendy Twine}{Post #2}

 Good Morning Everyone!!

It is a BUSY morning here on my blog so if you are looking for
 ~ Seize the Sketch #7 w/EAD Designs post click HERE

It is time for another Trendy Twine DT post and 

this month the DT is showcasing the 

Orange Truffle

A beautiful twist of double orange with double dark brown perfect for all those fall projects!

Turkey time is just around the corner so I thought I would make a cute Thanksgiving project that would be so fun to add to the Thanksgiving table....
An adorable Turkey Candy stick!!

Isn't this adorable!!!! I just LOVE those Clear Skinny Candy Bags! They make great party treats and with a cute topper like this turkey...who wouldn't LOVE one of these :)

Here is that cutie up close.....I actually used a file from the Silhouette Store for a Turkey pencil topper and replaced the pencil with the Candy Bag~ filled with M&M's.

The Turkey was cut using some Kraft Cardstock and designer paper from Echo Park~Reflections Fall paper pack.

I then stamped the Turkey Face from Peachy Keen Stamps~Critter Faces set

and wrapped some Orange Truffle Trendy Twine around his neck.

Finally I used the Happy Fall! stamp set from My Craft Spot for the sentiment.

So there is my project....Make sure to stop over to the Trendy Twine blog to see what the other DT members have created!

I finally got around to making it...Yippee...and I am so happy with how it turned out!
Sure hope you like it too!!

Didn't it turn out awesome??? I used the designer paper from Echo Park~ Reflections Fall paper pack...my favorite fall pad! The colors are awesome and the patterns, FAB!

The sentiment is from My Craft Spot~Happy Fall! stamp set and I tied the circle tag onto the top using some 3GJ Sunflower and Hot Chocolate crinkle ribbon.

Morning Everyone!!!

(if you are looking for my 3GJ DT project please click HERE or scroll down to the next post)

I am so excited you stopped by today because I can not wait to share my project with you!

Recently I was asked by Kimberly from My Craft Spot to be a Guest Designer over on her blog! 

I am beyond honored that she asked and I had a blast playing with one of her newer stamp sets~

Feel Better Soon

Here is my project....I really hope you like it!

Recipe on how I made this...

~ I started my project by using my Silhouette Cameo to cut the pieces of the tissue box holder I found online here using Kraft cardstock and designer paper from Queen & Co.

~Once all my pieces were cut, I stamped the front panel with the too cute sentiment~ "Heard you're sick as a dog!" from the Feel Better Soon  stamp set as well as using the cute "Achoo!" from that same set stamped right by where the tissues come out.

~Next I used the August SOTM set as well as the matching SVG's  from Peachy Keen Stamps for the puppy, bone and dog tag. Once die cut on white cardstock and stamped on Kraft cardstock and cut out, I went about gluing the layers, adding some white gel pen to the puppy, the stamped sentiment from the Feel Better Soon and a pattern paper collar. 

~It was now time to assemble the tissue box, but before I did that, I ran each of my mats through my sewing machine for alittle more embellishing.

~Finally I finished my box by adding a some new Trendy Twine in Lemon Peppermint wrapping it around my mat two times and tying my dog tag to it in a bow.

Thank you so much for stopping by today,

 I hope you have enjoyed my project!

All the edges were inked with Tim Holtz distress ink in Rusty Hinge

Watch For Falling Leaves!~~ My 1st Shaker Card

Hi everyone!

Fall is in the air....woke up to it being 45 degrees and only warming to about 66.

Just last week it was 80. Guess that is what we get in Buffalo :)

I have been seeing lots of new techniques and designs around the blogging world and have written them on my to do list....

try a shaker card is on that list and I can now cross it off as having tried it :)

These are so much fun and I know I will be making more!!

Here is my card....a fall card for sure and pretty clean and simple!

Ok here are the details!!

I used this super cute Bugaboo image~ Oz Scarecrow and colored him with my copics

E30,31,33,35,37 and 47

YR23

G09 and R29

I cut several different color leaves to add to my shaker to make it look like the leaves were falling. The leaves were cut using SCAL and sized at .5"

The sentiment is from My Craft Spot~Happy Fall and was stamped on a larger leaf cut at 2.5".

The paper is from Cloud 9's Seasonal Paper Pack and I layered it on green cardstock and my kraft card base.

The shaker part is a kit I purchased which made this card sooooo easy to put together.

All I had to do was color my image, fill the shaker and attached to my base. The plastic already has glue on it.

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Crafty Sprouts~Sketch (I used most of the sketch...just eliminated the center border)

My Craft Spot~ Fall Leaves

Cards Cupid~ Anything Goes

Bugaboo Stamps~ Let's Create a Scene

Icopic~Unloved Colors
