I recently purchased a new stamp set from Jaded Blossom that I am in love with. My family is coming up for Thanksgiving this year from California and I wanted to send them special invites along with our grandparents who live locally to come join us for dinner. I was so excited, even though it's still over 3 weeks away, I saw this turkey and had to get to work on a card for everyone.
I used a lot of Jaded Blossom items in this card. I started off by using the Fancy Topper Die and stamping the turkey on it from the Turkey Poop stamp set. I added the cute little saying because really... who doesn't like pie?! I colored the turkey with my favorite atyou spika pens, and chalked the edges of the die cut with a taupe color chalk ink. Then I took a brown pen and added the stitching (this die actually adds stitch marks by the way which is awesome!) I took the same brown pen and trimmed the die cut as well. I also used the small Flag Die that Jaded Blossom has and added the Happy Thanksgiving stamp from Thanksgiving Wishes stamp set. I also chalked the flag die to match the topper die with the taupe and brown. I scored the flag die to fold it and add demension to it. I did adhere the topper die to the card base and background paper with homemade pop dots to give it a nice touch. and topped it all off with a bow from trendy twine.
Whew, it sure sounds like a lot of work but it was a pretty quick card to make.
Ha...this kind of sounds like an advertisement for Jaded Blossom :)... what the heck, you can't help what you like! Click here to find all of the neat stamps and dies Jaded Blossom has to offer! (And they have great customer service too!!!)
I really like this card, I think I'm going to have to make an additional one for my collection of favorites to hang on my wall.
