Delicate Baubles Dies – Turkey

November 9, 2021 By Connie | 1 Comment

Next up is the coordinating TURKEY for our pilgrims! I think he is adorable! Can you tell what I used for the red turkey gobbler? If you guessed the Halloween Punch Ghost again…you’d be correct! I love uses my punches and dies for making things other than intended!

TURKEY

The base of the card is 5-1/2 x 8-1/2 Crumb Cake cardstock, scored at 4-1/4 and folded.
A 4 x 5-1/4 piece of the wheat pattern in Harvest Meadow Designer Paper was added to the front.
The arabesque solid shape in the Delicate Bauble Die was cut from Early Espresso and Crumb Cake cardstocks. The Crumb Cake was trimmed and added to the bottom of the Early Espresso bauble.
The leaves were cut with the Stitched Leaves Dies from Real Red, Cinnamon Cider, Cajun Craze, Pumpkin Pie and Daffodil Delight cardstocks and adhered behind the turkey body.
The eyes are 1/2″ circles of Basic White and 3/8″ circles of Basic Black cardstock and adhered with Mini Glue Dots. The nose is the Ice Cream Cone punched from Daffodil Delight cardstock and added with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The turkey gobbler is the Ghost on the Halloween Punch, punched from Real Red cardstock and added to the beak with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Happy Thanksgiving from Banner Year Stamp Set was stamped with Cajun Craze Ink on Basic White cardstock and cut with the Frightful Tags Die. It was added to the bauble with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The turkey was added to the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
A White Chalk Pen was used for highlights in the eyes, nose and gobbler.

How much fun is HE? Would be awesome to add him to a tag for taking a bottle of wine to your Thanksgiving dinner host!

Delicate Baubles Dies – Nutcracker

October 27, 2021 By Connie | 1 Comment

I’m back with yet another card using the solid arabesque shape in the Delicate Baubles Dies! AND…here’s a great idea for using the Halloween punch AFTER Halloween! The ghost worked PERFECTLY for the mustache!

You can see my GNOME, SANTA, GINGERBREAD, ELF, PENGUIN, SNOWMAN, WITCH, MICKEY MOUSE, DRACULA, RUDOLPH, GRINCH & MAX by clicking on those links! Next up is the NUTCRACKER! I enjoy going to see the Nutcracker in the theater whenever I can…missed going the past couple years! Maybe next year I’ll take my grandkids!

Stampin’ Details:

The base is 4-1/4 x 11 Pear Pizzazz cardstock, scored at 5-1/2 and folded.
A 2-1/4 x 4-1/4 piece of Real Red cardstock was adhered across the center.
A 3-1/4 x 4-1/2 piece of Heartwarming Hugs Designer Paper was added to a 3-1/2 x 4-3/4 layer of Basic Black cardstock, then adhered to the front.
The solid arabesque shape from Delicate Baubles Dies was cut from Petal Pink cardstock and Basic White cardstock. The Basic White was trimmed for the hair on the sides and the beard, then adhered to the Petal Pink Bauble.
A 1-1/2 x 2 piece of Real Red was slightly angled for the hat and adhered to the top of the Petal Pink Bauble. Two 1/8 strips of Crushed Curry were added for the trim, and a 1/4″ Circle from Crushed Curry added with a Mini Glue Dot to the hat.
The eyebrows are 3/4″ circle from Basic Black cardstock, cut in half.
The eyes are 1/2″ circles of Basic White, irises are 3/8″ Balmy Blue circles and pupils are 1/4″ Basic Black circles, adhered together with Mini Glue Dots and added to the face.
The cheeks are 1/2″ circles of Flirty Flamingo cardstock.
The nose is hand-cut from Petal Pink cardstock and added with a Mini Stampin’ Dimensional.
Two ghosts from the Halloween Punch were punched from Basic Black cardstock and added to the face with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The entire Nutcracker head was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting from Holly Jolly Wishes stamp set was stamped with Memento Black Ink on Crushed Curry cardstock and cut with the Hippo & Friends label die. It was added to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
I used the White Chalk Pen to highlight the eyes.

I love having another idea for using my Halloween Punch since it has been on backorder for most of the Halloween season. Yep…a couple more ideas for the Delicate Baubles Dies coming soon!
