Thanksgiving Pumpkins

Happy Thanksgiving! Here are the Thanksgiving pumpkins I promised you yesterday (although you can really use these all through the fall season). They are so fun & easy to make and work great as a table decoration at your Thanksgiving dinner.

I used the Big Shot Die-Cut Machine and the Scallop Circle #2 Bigz Die to cut out the pumpkins themselves. Each pumpkin uses 12 scallop circles which are folded in half and adhered to each other. The stem is from the Swirls Scribbles Sizzlet Die and the leaves come from the Birds & Blooms Sizzlet Die.

Once you have the pumpkins together you do need to cut the bottom center scallops so they are no longer rounded. Otherwise your pumpkin will just roll across your table! Here's a little different view:

Watch your e-mail inbox tomorrow morning for my Black Friday special! If you're not already on my mailing list, sign up on the left side of my blog.

Christmas Treats

Here's a fun tote you can make with your Box #2 Die for your Big Shot Die-Cut Machine. We did this project tonight in my Big Shot Class.

You simply cut out and put together two of the boxes with the exception of folding down the top cover of the box. Those will stay straight up & you'll use sticky strip to adhere the two boxes together back to back. Once they're together I punched with the large oval punch to make a handle & tied the ribbon through it. Then you simply decorate around the tote with patterned paper (which nicely covers your seams on the side of the tote).

This paper comes from the Christmas Cocoa Specialty Designer Paper in the Holiday Mini Catalog and is actually one of the flocked designs from this group. I love feeling across the white areas where it's fuzzy! It's one of my favorite papers this year hands down. I may even incorporate it into my Christmas cards if I can ever get around to planning those! Please please please tell me I'm not the only one behind on things!

Here's more of a side view of the tote:

Thanksgiving Turkeys

Sorry these didn't get posted yesterday - I was without my camera for the day. These are some great Thanksgiving turkeys that I've seen on blogs - I have no idea who to credit with the original idea.

They're completely made up with various punches. The head & body are the 3/4" and 1 3/8" Circle Punches. The tail, nose, and waddle (which I'm told it's called ;-)) are made with the Scallop Circle Punch. For the nose you simply cut out one of the scallops. For the waddle, punch a scallop circle and then slide it back in the scallop circle punch until 3 of the scallops are in 3 of the scallop punch holes. I used the scallop circle from the tail piece because you can cover up that you've punched out the waddle when it's hidden between the two other tail pieces.

The legs are from the Jumbo Snowflake Punch. You can get three sets of legs out of each snowflake and you'll just need to trim off the upper 'toes' to leave only 3 as you see here. The eyes are just drawn on with the Basic Black Stampin' Write Marker. I also sponged chocolate chip ink around the edges of the head & body pieces.

For the tail piece I cut in between 3 of the scallops so they could fan a little bit. I thought it was more 3 dimensional this way. The body is just a Hershey Nugget wrapped in our Designer Series Paper. It's adhered to the body & tail pieces with Pop-Up Glue Dots.

That's a really quick explanation on how to make these since it's late & I still have a lot to do to get ready for my Big Shot Class on Tuesday! Have you ever known me to be anything but last minute?

If you have any questions on the construction of these fun little turkeys, please e-mail me! To purchase these or any other Stampin' Up! supplies, place your order at my Stampin' Up! website 24 hours a day!
