Gobble!

I received my Action Wobbles yesterday and couldn't wait to use them on a card. I wanted to make a Thanksgiving card for my neice and nephew and thought it would be fun to use with this turkey from Create A Critter. I love the action my turkey has now and I know the children will love it.
I am submitting this in Momo's challenge over at Made By Momo. The challenge is to use a turkey.

Here are the details:
Card size ~ 4.25 x 5.5 folded potrait style
Cricut Cartridge ~ Create A Critter ~ turkey cut at 3.25 inches and Gobble cut at .75
Peachy Keen Stamps ~ PK-754 Critter Faces Set A Medium
Patterned Paper ~ DCWV Autumn Splendor
Action Wobble
White Gelly Roll Pen
Cat's Eye Chalk Ink ~ Chestnut Roan
Gems

Enjoy you Sunday, Everyone!

Thanksgiving Door Hanger



I made this door hanger for my partner in BOAB #2 on the Cricut message board. Her favorite holiday is Thanksgiving. Here is what I used:

Supplies:

  • Door hanger (I purchased mine from a local craft store)
  • acrylic paint ( I used brown, orange, gold, and cream)
  • paint brush
  • sponge
  • mod podge
  • foam brush
  • card stock
  • ribbon
  • Colorbox pigment ink in chestnut brown and brown
  • Cricut Design Studio
  • Cricut Pooh and Friends
  • Cricut Pooh Font

Step 1 - paint the door hanger using brown acrylic paint. I used 3 coats allowing to dry between each coat.

Step 2 - sponge paint using orange, gold, and cream paint; allow to dry.

Step 3 - Usinging Design Studio and Pooh Font cartridge, select marker font and type "Give Thanks" at 1 inch and weld the letters together. Type this again using marker shadow feature and weld these letters.

Step 4 - Cut these shapes from Pooh and Friends cartridge: basket cut @ 2 1/4 inches ( I cut off the apples), veggies cut @ 2 inches four times (1x in green, red, orange, and yellow), leaves cut @ 1 1/4 inches seven times ( 3x in brown, 1x in red, orange, and yellow), pumpkins cut @ 2 1/4 inches four times ( 1x in green, orange, light orange, yellow orange)

Step 5 - Use Colorbox chestnut brown ink to ink the basket and brown to ink the veggies, leaves, and pumpkins.

Step 6 - Coat the door hanger with Mod Podge, glue down all the Cricut cuts, then cover again with Mod Podge. ( I covered it 2 more times allowing it to dry after each coat) When dry I added the ribbon.
