12 Days of Christmas ~ Day 8!!!!!

I can't believe I have actually gotten to the 8th day of Christmas and STILL have ideas for the next 4!!!  I LOVE how this project turned out and hope you do too!  I started out by making a turkey place card holder and then was trying to come up with one I could do for Christmas!  I had the idea in my head and then just kept working it until I got it how I wanted!  Here is the turkey place card holder (Yes, I do know Thanksgiving is over but there is always next year!!!) ~

The feathers are made from 3 different sizes of Nesties.  The colors of card stock are Chocolate Chip, Pumpkin Pie and Ruby Red and I sponged all edges with Chocolate Chip ink.  The way I did the body was to punch a large and small oval from scrap paper.  I then laid the small oval on top of the large one so it would look like it does right here!  I then traced his body on to the Chocolate Chip card stock and cut it out.  I freehand drew the "hands" from Ruby Red card stock and mounted them on the place card which is Pumpkin Pie card stock and the letters are actually rub ons because my printer that prints on card stock is out of ink.  The "feet" were made from the old SU! copper wire.  I just bent the wire until I got the look I wanted.  I freehand made the nose as well and the googlie eyes are adhered with Elmer's glue.  The hat is Copper Metallic card stock and the top part was cut out using my 3/4" square punch.  I then added a Chocolate Chip strip and a copper strip for the brim.  The "buckle" was made using my 1/4" square punch and then using my paper cutter to cut around it.  I used dimensionals to adhere the hat.

Here is my snowman and I will also show you pictures of how I made it to stand ~

For this one I used 3 different Nestie circles.  The card stock is Whisper White which I sponged all edges using Soft Sky ink.  I also added Opal Shimmerz to the edges to add some shine!  I layered all of the circles using Pop Dots.  For the snowman face, I stamped the face from Cold Play using Basic Black ink.  I stamped the nose which is also included in the Cold Play set using Pumpkin Pie ink on Whisper White card stock.  I cut it out, added Pumpkin Shimmerz and then glued it on using my Quickie glue pen.  I used a good pencil eraser to stamp the Pink Pirouette ink for the cheeks.  I then added Pink Poinsettia Shimmerz Blingz because I NEEDED it to be shiny!!!!  The hat was made from a 1" square punch of Basic Black card stock, a scalloped border piece from last years Soft Sky Designer Series Collection and then a free hand made a brim.  I added Opal Shimmerz to the hat as well!  I then added a little flower that I punched from my Silver glitter paper from K&Co. and then added a pink rhinestone to the center.  The hat was adhered using a Pop Dot. 

I free hand drew the mittens from the same Soft Sky DP and adhered them on Whisper White card stock that I arched around to the front.  I added white flock to the sleeve cuffs using my Quickie glue pen.  The heart was punched using my Creative Memories heart punch and Pink Pirouette card stock.  I had to use rub on letters for the name this time as well.  I need to put black ink on my list!!!!

Here is a close up of the front ~

Here is a picture of the back ~

Basically I cut the same size circle as the back largest one and then scored it about an inch to 1 1/2" up from the bottom.  I then folded at the score and this provided an easel effect.  I used dimensionals to adhere it on the back of the snowman. 

I hope you like it!  I am working on the 9th day now and hope to be done soon!  Thank you so much for stopping by and I hope you all have a great evening!  BTW, if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!
