Thanksgiving is next week, so this is my last “turkey” card, and then I need to get them mailed.
Turkey Feathers
My turkey feathers are from the Day Of Thanks Stamp Set, stamped in Cajun Craze, Crushed Curry and Poppy Parade on Whisper White cardstock.
I left a space to stamp the sentiment, “from our family to yours on this day of thanks” in Cajun Craze Ink, matching the card base.
Stitched Rectangles Dies were used to cut two layers from See A Silhouette Designer Paper. The top layer with feathers was given some texture with the Subtle Textured Embossing Folder.
For the final detail, I added some Iridescent Sequins.
I’m sharing today’s card with the Fusion challenge.
Thank you for visiting! Have a great day! Gobble, Gobble!

It was a wonderful experience at Stampin’ Up! OnStage in Las Vegas, and I couldn’t wait to get home, and start sharing with you! Everyone attending received this Timeless Tulips Stamp Set, and who doesn’t like tulips? Southern states need to plant the bulbs in November and December, so it’s the perfect time to think about these gorgeous flowers.
Hello 2020
The Timeless Tulips Set comes with a coordinating Punch, which I will have to order, so I used my Paper Snips for today’s card. I stamped the tulip in Calypso Coral Ink on Whisper White Cardstock, and fussy cut the flower. Since I was already fussy cutting, I stamped a second flower, and cut three petals, raising them on Mini-Dimensionals.
TIP: Trim the petals smaller in the center, so a separation will show.
Next, I stamped four leaves and the stem in Old Olive Ink, and fussy cut along the lines, so there wasn’t a white border. Flowers and plants are very forgiving, so the cutting doesn’t have to be exact. Yay!
The background is a Thick Whisper White card base, with rounded corners, and Stylish Scroll embossing. I used the Detailed Trio Punch for rounding the corners, which you can see in my Product List below. It’s a very handy tool!
I wanted to place my tulip on a rectangle, because I was using Global Design Project’s CASE the designer, Sarah Berry.
My rectangle is Thick Whisper White Cardstock, which I cut with an Ornate Frames Die. I used the 1/16th Inch Handheld Hole Punch, so my tulip could grow through it, by placing the stem through the hole.
“Hello” is from the Timeless Tulips Stamps Set, which I stamped in Mossy Meadow Ink.
The Timeless Tulip Stamp Set is #151534, which Demonstrators can pre- order Dec. 3. Customers can order the set Jan 3, so start making your “want lists.”
Ask me how to become a demonstrator. Believe it or not, it’s simple, and most customers become demonstrators just for the discount. Plus, you can order a month earlier. There’s no obligation, and the Starter Kit is a GREAT deal!
My blog post tomorrow is all about the Stampin’ Up! three day sale, Nov. 20-22, so be sure to come back tomorrow and check it out. I will post the entire list, plus pictures of the Bundles.
Thanks for stopping by. See you tomorrow!

A vellum daisy is just what this card front needed to go with the Pressed Petals Designer Paper.
Vellum Daisy
I began with a Crumb Cake card base, and trimmed an inch “off the edge” of the card front. To give the opening added interest, I used the scallop edged die from the Be Mine Stitched Die Set.
Now that I had this “peek-a-boo” opening, I covered the “right” inside with beautiful, floral, Pressed Petals Designer Paper. The “left” inside is blank, for a personal message.
I covered the front with solid burlap paper, also Pressed Petals DSP. To match the daisy on the floral paper, I used vellum to keep the petals light and airy. Using the stamp from the Daisy Delight Stamp Set, I stamped two rounds of petals in Daffodil Delight Ink. Then, I cut the petals with the larger Daisy Punch, and attached them with Dimensionals.
TIP: Ink takes longer to dry on vellum, so allow extra drying time.
I made the daisy center with a die from the Magnolia Memory Die Set, and burlap, Pressed Petals DSP. The stem was made with a die from Sweet Silhouettes, and the leaves from Bouquet Bunch; both cut from Mossy Meadow Cardstock.
“Happy Birthday” is from the Beautiful Bouquet Stamp Set, stamped in Soft Suede Ink on the burlap DSP. I used a layering Ovals Die for cutting, and placed it on Dimensionals.
My idea for trimming “off the edge” of the card front originated with the challenge at Seize the Birthday. It’s fun playing along with “anything goes,” but for an extra challenge, I like to try the “toppings.”

Happy Sunday! It’s time for a Paper Player’s challenge, and this week will take us to the North Pole.
Sugar-sprinkled Bouquet
When seeing the photo, my thoughts turned to blue, and the Feels Like Frost Designer Paper.
A blue, Seaside Spray card base, would blend beautifully with a piece of the Feels Like Frost DSP. I used a Stitched Rectangles Die to cut a 3/4″ frame, which I glued to the card base.
For the focal point, I used a Sweet Silhouettes Die to make a bouquet from Sparkle Glimmer Paper.
I tied the frosty bouquet together with a Seaside Spay Metallic bow, attached with Tear & Tape.
The sentiment, “Have a Sugar-Sprinkled Season” is from the Itty Bitty Christmas, cut with an Ornate Frames Die. It added some warmth to my bouquet, by turning the frost into sparkling sugar. I like it this way! Don’t you?

Everyone needs poinsettias for the holidays. Right? I made a similar card last year, but used some new ingredients for today’s poinsettia card.
Christmas Poinsettia
I began with the same leaf from the Rooted In Nature Stamp Set, stamping in Real Red, Cherry Cobbler, and Shaded Spruce Inks.
Then I used its Nature’s Roots Die for cutting the six bracts and three leaves.
Next, I distressed the leaves by embossing them with the Subtle Textured Embossing Folder, wetting them with my Aqua Painter, and crimping with my stylus.
Before assembling the poinsettia, I prepared the Thick Whisper White card base, attaching a 4 1/4″ X 2″ piece of Whisper White Cardstock embossed with the Stylish Scroll Embossing Folder.
Then, I placed the leaves on Dimensionals, arranging them in a circle.
The center was made with Iridescent Sequins.
“Happy Christmas” is from the Itty Bitty Christmas Stamp Set, stamped in Memento Black Ink, and cut with an Ornate Frames Die.
My layout is from Freshly Made Sketches.
Thank you for checking out my poinsettia. You’ll find my Product List below, where you can click on the pictures to shop at my store. Have a great day!
