Pazzles Pilgrim Turkey Place Cards

Hello crafty friends,

Today I am sharing some super cute little Pilgrim turkey place cards I made for my Pazzles DT. These will be perfect for our Thanksgiving table this year. I used some fabulous patterned paper from the DCWV Autumn Melody and Pumpkin Patch Stacks.

Here is a view of my 6 turkeys. Three boy and three girls.

All the cut files are from the Pazzles craft room.

I combined the turkey for the turkey boxes file along with the Gobbler Turkey file to create these cuties. Instead of regular tail feathers, I used the one of the files from the nine rosette file set. I simply spread the rosette out half way instead of all the way around. I glued them to a piece of black cardstock and then inserted that into the place card base from the Thanksgiving Place Card Holder file set. To dress up the base, I cut some cute pumpkins from the Pumpkin and Fence cut file. The turkeys were cut from some Bazzill cardstock and the pumpkins and the “tail feathers” were cut from the DCWV Autumn Melody and Pumpkin Patch Paper Stacks.

Here’s a closer look at one of the place cards. I used my chalk inks and regular chalks to give the turkey pieces dimension. This shot also shows the cute little name signs I created with my Pazzles Pen tool. That pen tool makes this a SNAP! Even the perfect faux stitched border was created with two clicks of a mouse button!!!!

Here is a view of my three boys! My son, nephew and grandson.

Here is a view of the three girls. My daughter and two nieces.

DCWV Citrus Stack-Doodlecharms Cricut Crow Piecings Layout

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a layout I created with the Doodlecharms cartridge and some great DCWV Citrus Stack Paper.

Here is a look at my entire two page layout. All the cuts were from the Doodlecharms Cartridge. This includes the super cute little crow paper piecings I created. The letters are from the Art Philosophy cartridge. All of the pretty, patterned paper is from the DCWV Citrus Stack. I love that these paper would work for many different types of layouts and projects.

Here is a closer look at the cute little crow sitting on top of a photo mat holding his cornstalk. Next to him is a basket full of harvest goodies. All of these were cut with the Doodlecharms Cartridge and my Expression. No Gypsy, Design Studio or Craft Room. I used some Pebbles Basic Chalks for the white around the crow’s pieces as well as some Frost White Pigment Ink. I used Maroon Chalk Ink for the apples, Cocoa for the basket, Orange for the Pumpkins. Warm Green for the leaves and stalks. Butterscotch for the corn, beaks, feet and hay bale. I also used my Copic E59 marker to color the apple and pumpkin stems. I decided to do that as opposed to cutting out all of the stems separately in brown paper…Waste not, want not

Here is a closer look at the cute little crow topper.

Autumn Sunflower n’ Butterflies Layout

Good morning crafty friends,

Today I am sharing a project I created for my Pazzles DT.  This layout features pretty patterned paper from the DCWV Autumn Melody Stack as well as some beautiful files from the Pazzles Craft Room.

Here is a view of my layout. I used the following files from the craft room:

Autumn Harvest Sunflower

Monarch Butterfly

Butterfly 001

Here is a close up of the flowers and the Monarch Butterfly. I added some Brushed Corduroy Distress Stickles to the centers of the flowers. I wanted some texture without adding “sparkle”.

This shot shows the layers and the added dimension the foam adhesive gives the project.

Here is a closer look at one of the larger Monarch Butterflies. I cut them out in that pretty patterned foiled paper from the DCWV Autumn Melody Stack and then cut a solid version in dark brown cardstock. I adhered the centers and then curved the wings for some added dimension.

Here is a closer look at the pretty title tag. This was in the stack. I love that they include some pre-printed die cuts in some of their stacks. Just a nice bonus. I finished off the title area with a pretty bow of ribbon and burlap cord.

Here are the products used to complete this project

Pazzles Inspiration	DCWV Autumn Melody Stack	Autumn Harvest Sunflower
Monarch Butterfly	Butterfly 001	May Arts Burlap Cord
American Crafts Yellow Polka Dot Ribbon	Chestnut Roan Chalk Ink	Autumn Terracotta Ink from Enchantment Ink Pad Set

Additional Supplies

Brown, Gold and Green Bazzil Cardstock

AC Button

I think that about covers it for today. Be sure to head over to the Pazzles Craft Room and check out all of their great resources. Thank you so much for stopping by and sharing your crafty time with me!

Cricut Doodlecharms Treat Sign Paper Piecings

Hello Crafty Friends,

Today I am sharing a cute sign I created for my Scrapyland.com DT assignment. It is for the little Trick or Treaters I am expecting this Thursday.

For the last several years, I sit out at the end of my driveway along side my neighbors and we pass out candy to all the little trick or treaters. Because I live in a cul-de-sac, it makes it much easier for the little visitors. Unfortunately, it is a bit “dark” by our end of the neighborhood and with landscaping, it makes it hard for them to see us there. So I have brought out a lamp each year. This year I decided to whip up this cute little sign to help decorate the lamp.

Here is a view of my completed sign. It measures approximately 20” wide by 12” high

The background paper is from the adorable Doodlebug Halloween Parade collection. The letters are from my Art Philosophy Cartridge and the bears and candy are all from the DoodleCharms Cartridge. I created the cute little bears by “paper piecing” several cuts found on the cartridge. These are my own original creations The candy die cuts were all cut in white cardstock. I simply colored them in with my various copic markers to make it quick and easy to add color to each piece.

Here is a closer look at the adorable little bear in a ladybug costume paper piecing I created. I inked the edges of her body pieces with some Cat’s Eye ink as well as the basket, bow and wings. I used some Pebbles, Inc chalk for her cheeks and ears.

Here is a closer look at the sweet little bear in pumpkin suit paper piecing. I also inked the edges of the bears pieces as well as his little leafy collar and hat. I again used some Pebbles Chalk for his cheeks and ears.
