I posted some alternate card ideas a few days ago (and I still have more ideas that I am working on but this recovering from surgery stuff has slowed me a bit – lol), but for today I want to share this goofy turkey on a stick and a coordinating scrapbook page layout. Isn't he cute?! hahaha

I used two flowers from the kit:

  • The peach one cut in two – 5 petals & 3 petals
  • The blue one cut in three – 5 petals, 2 petals and 1 petal that I omited

Then I used the 3/4" circle punch and punched the round body from the scrap paper around the peach flowers. The head is another petal from one more peach flower.

The beak is a portion of a star from a Pumpkin Pie Enamel Shape. And the wattle is half of a heart from a Real Red Enamel Shape. I just cut the enamel shapes with my Paper Snips – super easy.

I thought this guy would be fun to put into a dessert at Thanksgiving time.

And with an extra 1/8" hole punched at the bottom of the tag, the tag below him can fit perfectly onto a skewer! Did you recognize the words? That stamp image came from last year's September 2016 Paper Pumpkin kit.

This is what the back looks like. I attached the turkey to the top of the skewer with Dimensionals. The Dimensionals are sandwiched between the turkey and this flower on the back.

Here are the extra supplies that I used to make my turkey on a stick (besides the contents of the August 2017 Paper Pumpkin kit):

 

After Thanksgiving is over, that cute little turkey could go into a scrapbook layout to share photos of the fun family holiday!

I used the envelopes from the kit for photo mats.

And for the bottom border, I added Dimensionals from the kit under the tips of each leaf creating a little shadow and depth. I also brought in a few more red heart Enamel Shapes and some Crinkled Seam Binding.

I gave my turkey some feet this time using the smallest stamp image from the kit.

And I made the page title by covering the "s" in thanks with another enamel heart and the die-cut letters F, U and L.
