I was inspired to make a craft item for the table, or decor.
I've wanted to use the long retired Stampin'Up! set Turkey Talk. I just find it really cute. Here's an image.
I wanted to have some colouring with this but didn't want to be too busy. I decided to use just the turkey. It was a toss up though for the cornucopia.
I stamped the turkey using Crumb Cake on Very Vanilla. I planned on using just Stampin Write markers but ended up using them and a mix of Blends to allow for shading.
Once they were all coloured they we die cut using the circle die that's shown above.
This is a lot if layers of circles.
The DSP is also retired, "Scaringbone and Howlstooth" from a few years ago.
Once all the circles were cut the largest Very Vanilla and the DSP were scored in half to become the base.
I wanted a word, THANKFUL is a fitting one. So here's how I did that.
I used Playful Letters and these little guys are little and perfect for this.
I've used this trick before, lay out the letters and use washi tape to hold them in place. I cut out a scrap of Tangerine Tango that only needed to be 1 x 5 and layered another, I need two sets so why not do them at the same time.
Some assembly required now. Which I have no more photos of :) Here's the completed projects.
For scale, the largest circle was 3" diameter scored and folded in half.
To allow for some forgiveness while placing the top two layers, I used a Tombow multi-purpose liquid glue. It really gives you wiggle room. I preferred to try for the letters to be straight, with a slightly off turkey. Not all ended up that way. Adds to the homemade uniqueness.
My thoughts for this is to be directly on a flat surface but there isn't a reason it couldn't be on twine and hung.
Thank you for reading this far. I'm happy to answer any questions you have.
