Thanksgiving Cards

My PIC (stamping Partner In Crime) and I had shopped the Customer Yard Sale at the Enchanted Cottage back in October. I always shop at the store before I leave the sale to help support their store. I had seen a couple of projects using the Pretty Pink Posh Stitched Turkey die set so I picked up that set at the store. I used this die set for my Thanksgiving cards this year:

For the turkeys I cut the bodies from kraft card stock scraps to help use those up. The brown feather fan is brown card stock from the stash. For all the printed feathers in the back I used various prints from the stash - three of the prints I recently bought at the Reconsidered Goods recycle crafts store in Greensboro for 15 cents each - I only bought fall coloured prints as I knew I wanted them for this turkey die. For his wings I used scraps of pumpkin card stocks. 

The card stock base is Canyon Clay card stock from PaperTreyInk. I cut and scored those at the top. For the cream background piece for the front of the card I used a chicken wire background stamp from IOStamps (Impression Obsession) that I picked up at one of their Warehouse sales before they announced they were closing. I inked that with light brown ink and stamped the card fronts. Trimmed them all to size for the card front. I wanted a rectangle frame around the turkey so I used a die from my stash and cut this frame out of various colours of card stock - I used half sheets of the card stock that I had left from other projects. 

With all pieces die cut I used liquid glue and put all the prints on the big feather piece - that again I used scrap card stock for since it will not be seen. I then put the brown feathers piece over the prints and I used foam dots for that for dimension. Assembled all the turkeys with their die cut pieces using liquid glue and then I put them on the feather pieces using foam dots for him. The "gobble" greeting is a stamp I have from Morningstar Stamps (now closed) and rust ink. I used a banner die from the stash to cut that out and I tucked it behind the turkey. Added crystal gems to the card fronts for some sparkle. Happy to be able to use so many scraps up for the card frames, turkey body, and large feather base. A cute little turkey for Thanksgiving cards and easy to assemble.
