Now We're Cooking...Turkey?

 

 This turkey is already busy working on his Thanksgiving meal.  It's hard to believe next month will be the official kick off to the holidays, isn't it? Now is the time to start planning and that includes planning for your holiday decorating.  In October the Art Glitter design team has joined up with Northwoods Rubber Stamps to bring you some fun stamped designs to help you with your holiday plans. 

During the month of October if you spend $25 or more and use the PROMO CODE: NW15 you will receive 15% off the retail prices. 

Supplies Needed:
     From Art Glitter:http: //www.artglitter.com/retail/Rartglitter.html
       Black Wing Microfine Opaque Glitter
       Monarch Microfine Opaque Glitter
       Nutmeg Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
       Crystal Ultrafine Transparent Glitter
       Saddlebag Ultrafine Opaque Glitter
       Designer Dries Clear Glue:http://www.artglitter.com/retail/Radhesives.htm

     From Northwoods Rubber Stamps:
        The Cookin' Turkey-http://www.northwoodsrubberstampsstore.com/p9209.html 
    
     Also Needed:  Ink for stamping, 1 piece of white card stock, card stock for card base, 1 piece of patterned paper for layering on card base, various colors of ink pads for background, markers for coloring image, ribbon

Begin by creating the card base and layering the patterned paper onto it.  Next, place the ribbon across the center of the card and lay it all aside. 

Stamp the turkey onto a piece of white card stock and trim to fit the card base.  Add the ink to the background.  Start off of the paper and move the ink pad in small circles onto the edges of the paper.   Build the colors by starting with the lightest color and working outward using the darkest colors on the edges. 

Color the turkey image with your markers. 

 

 Begin glittering parts of the turkey.  Build the feathers to give them a more defined look by adding strips of glue to the areas using the metal tip on the bottle of Designer Dries Clear Glue.  Sprinkle them lightly with glitter and allow to dry.   Add more glue over the top and sprinkle with more glitter.  Continue doing this until you have it built up the way you like it and allow it to completely dry. 

Fill in the center of the flowers using the Black Wing Microfine Opaque glitter and add detail to the apron using the Crystal Ultrafine Transparent glitter.  Allow the areas to dry completely. 

Attach the image to the card base.

Your turkey is now ready for some holiday fun.  Send it to a friend or family member who you are thinking of for the holiday or send it as your Thanksgiving invitations.  No matter what you do he will be sure to bring fun to your day!

Directions

Step 1

Heather started out by using the Northwoods Gazebo Stamp and the Art Glitter Black ink pad to stamp her image onto white card stock.  Heather decided to go old school, and leave out the shading, and go for a "Retro Look."  

Step 2

Heather used # BG45 for the sky, E09 for the trees, YG17 for the Pine Trees, and DR3 for the bows and outer circle (you will see this later).

Step 3

Heather cut out a 3.5" square of the red card stock, then used her Perfect Layers Ruler to cut the piece of red striped paper.  A lace punch by Martha Stewart was used with the Gecko Galz light blue striped paper.  All edges were inked with Ranger's Vintage Photo Distress ink.

Step 4

Heather Flipped her card over and place a strip of the Sticky tape across the Top of the card.  She also attached all her paper layers using the sticky tape.

Step 5

Heather used the Perfect Layers Rulers to size the red striped paper.  She has one end at 1 inch and one at 3/4 inch, where the sides were cut with the 1/8 inch.  She then trimmed her punched pieces (lining them up with the edges of the red square).

Step 6

Heather put a strip of the red sticky tape across the back of the top edge of card, then applied her Red Swirl Ribbon using enough ribbon to create a bow on the front of the card.

Step 7

The Ultra fine tip applicator and Designer dries clear glue were used to add some glue to the bare trees.

Step 8

Heather added Camel Glitter to the bare trees.  Heather turned her stamped image upside down, then used the fine tip applicator to add little commas of glue to the pine trees. You will notice in the photo how there glue has a dot shape with a tail pointing toward the top of the stamped image.  It is easier to get this look with your piece turned.

Step 9

Heather used Amazon glitter on the pine trees, then added more glue to the large pine tree.

Step 10

Heather continued to use the DDCG and UFTA to apply glue to the red bows and to the Gazebo.  

Step 11

Then Garnet Glitter was applied to the bows, and Poupon was added to the Gazebo (wood areas).  More glue added to the snow areas (ground and Gazebo roof).

 

Step 12

Fairy Dust Glitter was added to snow areas.  Then Heather colored the outside circle with the DR3 marker.

Step 13

Heather used the Tombo Foam tabs to elevate her stamped circle image piece from the red cardstock square.  Heather used the Designer dries clear glue without the fine tip applicator to apply larger dots of glue around the edges of the circle.  Then sprinkled on the Garnet Glitter.  She also tied a bow in the ribbon and used more of the red sticky tape to hold it in place on the front.

Step 14

Heather cut a tiny piece of the red sticky tape and placed in the upper left of her card between the red ribbon and red cardstock square, on the blue striped punched piece.

Step 15

Heather attached the ribbon to the red sticky tape, then cut another tiny piece of the red sticky tape and placed in the upper left of her card (refer to photo, kind of hard to see, just below Heather's watermark).

Step 16

Next Heather flipped up the end of the ribbon piece, so that the red cardstock square is fully visible (no ribbon covering).  She did the same for the other side.

Step 17

Heather used the DDCG and UFTA to apply glue to the deep ivory roses and leaf trim.  Little dots of glue were added to the red cardstock square (please refer to photo)

Step 18

Heather did the same thing for all corners of the red cardstock square.

Step 19 

Heather added Chamois glitter to all the little dots of glue.  After that dried, she attached the focal piece to her cream card stock card base.  More glue was added to the edges of the card, and more Chamois glitter was added.  A tiny red button tied with cotton candy baker's twine was added under the bow and above the focal circle of Heather's card.

(This is a close up of the top of Heather's Card).

Step 20

Tiny sentiment box "Joy" was placed on the card using more foam tabs.  It was done using the UFTA and DDCG and covered with Amazon glitter.

(this is a close up of the bottom of Heather's card).

The Beauty of Fall

 

 



 

Supplies:
Art Glitter #85 crystal Glitter
Art Glitter #165 Autumn
Northwoods Rubber Stamps P9194 Milk Can, Wagon Wheel & Pumpkins
Assorted adhesives (foam dots, hot glue, liquid glass)
Assorted Scrapbook Paper
Die Cut shape Card
Die Cut Flowers

Begin by stamping the Northwoods Stamp onto your diecut card base.  This example uses a 3D shadow box card that was die cut using the silhouette cameo (the card cuts can be purchased through silhouette studio).  Many die cut companies have similar cuts so feel free to substitute with what you have.

Stamp the pumpkins onto a scrap of the blue cardstock and hand trip with scissors. 

Apply art glitter Crystal Glitter to the entire image using a clear adhesive.  If the glitter makes it difficult to see the original image, wait for the adhesive to dry then restamp the image ontop of the glitter. 

 

Cut spiral flowers using die cut machine or manual dies.  These were cut using the cricut, but similar images are available from other die cut companies.  You could even use premade store bought flowers if you don't have access to them from a die cut company.  After cutting the flowers, spray them lightly with spray adhesive then add a coat of Art Glitter Autumn Glitter.  Spiral the flowers and add adhesive to get to the finished product (hot glue works well for these dimensional flowers).

 

Begin assembling the card by placing the front and back together. Add adhesive and AG crystal glitter to the flowers in the milk pail. 

To add extra depth stamp the window and milk pail onto scraps of the plaid paper and hand cut them.  Then layer them onto your image and adhear with glue.  Add the glittered pumpkins using foam tape to pop them up from the background.  And finally add the flowers (some to the inside and some to the outside) to create more dimension.

Finally Add the phrase to the top.  You can use stamps or print this with a computer to get whatever message you would like. 

As you can see the final card has a 3D effect and will make a lovely display for the person you send it to! 
IN OCTOBER USE PROMO CODE NW15 FOR 15% OFF THE RETAIL PRICES WITH A $25 PURCHASE!

With this wonderfully detailed Northwoods Stamp, I was able to "color" with glitter.  I started by stamping with pigment ink and embossing with the Art Glitter Embossing Powder.  Did you know they had embossing powder? (and at really great prices, too!)  Then, I just layered the colors that I wanted to use.  Because I was building from the bottom up, the transparent colors were put on last. The only secret is to make sure that you use Designer Dries Clear with the Ultrafine Tip so that you can glitter the details.  The colors that I listed here are the ones that I chose, but you can chose any colors you like.  To help you purchase your colors, use the PROMO CODE NW15 for 15% off this month on Artglitter.com.
