Turkey Day Crafts

Hello My Crafty Friends. I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving!!! We did at my house with lots of Family Love!!! Dinner was awesome and we were all stuffed...lol. I am now looking forward to doing it again on Christmas!!! I really love the Holiday's and cherish all of the Family moments we get to share. I wanted to share a few projects with you for my last minute Turkey day projects and also an extra special piece from my grandson.

To start off with, I made this adorable Turkey from a fun challenge over at Creative Kuts on FB where you do a Build-A-Project...so fun. The files are mailed to you for free just for playing along. Get over there and play along and get your Turkeys turned in by Sunday. Then you can play again next week!!!

Next I want to share another Creative Kuts file that I made for a challenge over in our Forum for the Paper Piecing Challenge hosted by our DT member Bonnie. This Sunflower Treat Box I made 4 times for all 4 of the Grand kids yesterday to give them for Thanksgiving, I filled with some M&M's and other treats.

Next, I have these adorable Napkin Rings that I made with the 5 and 6 year old yesterday.  I got the Turkey from SVG Attic.  The Rings I got at the dollar store and ripped off the not so attractivr sunflowers that were on them.  I cut the pieces and showed the kids how to layer them up.  With the help of their Mom, they glued all of the Turkeys together.  I added the beak's and eyes and then hot glued then to the rings.  Loved this super fun project with the kids!!!

and last but not least...My 6 year old Grandson wanted to make a Robot Turkey for his Kindergarten class project.  I cut and sent hin the pieces for a Robot from my  Best of 2010 Cricut Cartridge and Turkey Parts from Svg Attic and Creative Kuts.  When I he came over for Thanksgiving yesterday, he brought it to share with me...It Is Soooooo  Cute!!!!!!!

 That is it for now but I will be back soon to start posting some Christmas Projects!!!

I hope you enjoyed my project, I would love to read your comments so please leave one.  Thanks so much for stopping by today and I hope to see you back very soon.  If you are not already, I would love for you to become a Follower/Friend of my blog.  If you have trouble with the follower button, just reload the page, sometimes you have to do this a couple of times.  I try to add lots of new projects every week for all to enjoy.

Have a Wonderful Day!!!

For my First Project, I will be starting with Fall.  I made a video so that I may show you all of the details of this fun project. 

I used the Creative Kuts File Falling For You.  You can find it in the CK store by clicking  Here.  For the patterned papers I used the Fall Paper Kit from Oriental Trading CO, only the Papers were used from this kit.  The Solid papers are all Bazzill.  The Ribbon to make my bow and inside accents was from Recollections.  The boys face is stamped with a peachy Keen face stamp from the everyday character face assoertment.  The big leaves on the top of the box are embossed with D'Vine Swirls Cuttlebug folder and all of the small leaves are embossed with Stylized Flowers Cuttlebug folder.  I used only the leaf accent spots on the folder so I could only emboss five or six at a time...lol.  This ended up taking awhile!!!  The Fonts I used were from Kates ABC's and the box itself is from svgcuts.

My Second Project today is one of my favorite things to make.  This Bottle light is Beautiful either lit up or not.

Pointsettia Bottle, Daylight - No Lights

Pointsettia Bottle, Daylight - Lights On

Pointsettia Bottle, Lit Up In the Dark

I used the Creative Kuts Pointsettia Etching File  You can find it in the CK store by clicking HERE.
I first used Armor etch over the stencil to etch the bottle.  Now normally you would wash the etching cream off to remove when your etching time is up, but I wanted to try something new and so I carefully wiped off the cream with a wet paper towel until it was all off, so that I didn't raise the edges of the stencil.  I then took my Tim Holtz alcohol inks and a small paint brush and began coloring the etching in.  I used Red Pepper for the Petals, Oregano for the leaves and Mushroom for the center.  I did several coats of each.  After it was completly dry I removed the Pointsettia Etching stencil and then I added gold stickles to the center.   The bottom part is simply a Holiday candle ring I bought at Michaels.  The Bow is made with my Bowdabra mini.  It is a wire edged ribbon by believe also bought from Michaels.  I added in some Holiday red and white cording by Celebrate it and added some cute little jingle bells to the ends.  Normally I make my bottle lights with a plug in style Christmas light strand but this time I used a strand of battery powered lights, which give off a softer glow.  After adding the lights, I dropped in clear glass pebbles and it pushed the lights down and adds the perfect accent lighting and glow to the bottle when lit.

I also have some Blog candy for you today.
Make sure you are a follower here and at Creative Kuts Blog

I decided to make a trifold Birthday Card in honor of Dandy's Blog Birthday.  I used the file from SVG CUTS from their Merry and Bright Christmas Card Kit, I just changed it to my colors.  I used these beautiful papers from a a 4.5 by 6.5 paper stack called Latte Matstack, love, love love it!  From DCWV.  I also used some fun embelishments from a scrapping kit I had.  I added some bling to them.  The big flower on the left is a paper embellishment on the bottom layered with a cute purple flower from my stash and a metal flower with fancy brad through the middle, that is popped up on foam squares.  The tag in the center of the card was also cut from the same file and I added an eyelet to the two tags.  I tied a piece of lavender floss into a bow through the eyelet.  I Stamped the tag with a Happy Birthday sentiment from a new fiskars set called wishes all around that I recently won from my friend Sandy at http://thecraftycreationspot.blogspot.com  Thanks Sandy, love em!
