It's Turkey Time

Hi all, 

Hey, Hope you are all getting excited over the new Ribbon Club Assortment  - Colors of Autumn Assortment it's super gorgeous!! The colors are so vivid and just great for all your fall projects. :D 

Well I want to share with you all a cute little turkey candle holder I created using these beautiful ribbons. I created one of these about 2 years ago or so but it was different. I used the same concept for the front of the turkey but used the rosette technique with the ribbons instead of using feather. I think he turned out cute. 

So here is my little Turkey guy, hope you all like it. I know it's a bit different than the usual but I thought it would be a nice change. :D 

So to create the back of the turkey I cut out 3 1/2 , 3, 2 1/2 inch circles. 

I used score tape around the circles and then got my ribbons and

started the rosette only going around half way. I then used 3D adhesive 

to stack the rosettes on top of one another, in a layered look. I used my little 

scallop punch for the front of the turkey's body. Hot glued him to the small

mason jar. I used googly eyes and cut a beak and did a snood. 

I wanted to show y'all another close up of the turkey and the ribbons.

Here are the Ribbons I used 5/8"Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon Turftan Brown; 

5/8"Square in Square Print Satin Ribbon Kiwi Green; 5/8"Square in Square print Satin Ribbon Tangerine to create the rosettes for the Turkey's feathers. I also used the cute 

3/8"Checkerboard Satin Ribbon Tangerine for his bow tie. 

 Here shows a close up side view of the ribbons layered. 

I used the 1.5 inch Brown Netting to decorate the mason jar

which I wrapped around the  mason jar and then wrapped the 

3/8"Autumn Bold Diagonal Stripe Grosgrain ribbon wrapped that on top. 

I used hot glue to adhere both ribbons to the mason jar. 

Supplies:

Really Reasonable Ribbons - 5/8"Delicate Stitched Satin Ribbon Turftan Brown; 

5/8"Square in Square Print Satin Ribbon Kiwi Green; 5/8"Square in Square print Satin Ribbon Tangerine; 3/8"Checkerboard Satin Ribbon Tangerine; 1.5 inch Brown Netting ; 3/8"Autumn Bold Diagonal Stripe Grosgrain ribbon

Paper - brown paper, craft paper, yellow paper

Accessories - Glossy Accents, googly eyes, mason jar, small scallop punch (fiskars),

Coloring on Velum for a Candle Holder Decor

Good Morning All,

Well I want to give a shout out to my new Subie's, Welcome and Thank you for joining my blog. :D
I so like when I get new subies' makes me feel like I am actually inspiring people to craft which is why I started my crafty blog. Thank you all for visiting me and leaving me wonderful comments I love to read them. I know I don't get a chance to reply to a lot of the comments but this is why - my granddaughter. I know it may sound like an excuse but I watch here pretty much every day, which I absolutely LOVE!! She is the apple of my eye and keeps me busy for sure, my daughter and son in-law work odd hours, so sometimes I have her all day til 9pm. Which wears me out, I am just not as young as I used to be, so having a little one around, whewww. :D  (Lol)  And this next month will be tougher cause we are also moving. So if I don't get to reply to your comments please do not think I am being rude or ignoring you it's just things are quit busy, and yes we are still planning a wedding as well. (hehehee)
I just want you all to know how much you all mean to me.

Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. 

Today I bring you a Coloring on Velum Tutorial for Crafty Sentiments Designs Inspirational Blog. I am going over how to color on velum and make a candle holder night light for a child's room or any room as a home decor.

Some of you might remember when I made a candle holder last year featuring Crafty Sentiments Stamp Sweet Prayers. Well today I am creating another candle holder but with Crafty Sentiments Designs Tobey Let's Pray. 

Here is my candle holder using a flameless candle (bought from Dollar store)

All the instructions are written on the pictures for you. 

Hope you enjoyed this inspirational piece and you get to create your own candle decor. If you do make one please refer to my blog as where you received the idea, I would appreciate it. :D

A Child's Sweet Dreams

Good Day All,

First I would like to apologize for this post being a little late. I have been under the weather the last couple of days and nothing seems to be helping.
Today Crafty Sentiments starts a new Challenge - Photo Inspiration.

Today I want to share a very special something I made for my niece, her birthday is coming up soon and she loves bright colors. Of course, after I made this one, I am going to make a few more for a craft fair I am doing and for my other niece's. The image I used comes from Crafty Sentiments named "Sweet Dreams". You can purchase "Sweet Dreams" image from the Crafty Sentiments Designs Shop, plus look at some of latest images and our latest CD's. :D

Here it is:

Here is the project illuminated. 

Supplies:
Used a glass square candle holder approx. 3 1/2 inches tall. I printed the image and my sentiment on vellum from my printer. Used my copics to color her in (you can use whatever colors you want or even colored pencils). Used Powder Puff Lemonade to ink around the image and sentiments. Used Glossy Accents to adhere the vellum to the glass. Used Prima flowers added gems to the flowers and around the sentiment, and adhered with glue dots. 
Paper - Vellum
Stamp - Crafty Sentiments Stamp - Sweet Dreams
Ink - Powder Puff - Lemonade; Copics - Used on ImageRV13 (eyes&lips); E29, E57 (hair); E 53, E11 (skin); C-5 (lace-bottom of gown); V06, V09 (for Gown) & Used on Flowers - YG63, Y15, Y 38, YR68, V06

Accessories - Spellbinders: Scallop to cut out the image (used second largest size); Spellbinders - Labels 8 to the sentiment (the third size down). Glossy Accents; Prima - colored flowers; From stash: all gems used on my project.

***Very important - when you are done coloring your image and inking around both sentiment and image let dry for 3 minutes turn over so the inked & colored images are going to be adhered to the glass. This gives the soft look to the images when candle is lit. DO NOT use a taller candle as paper may catch on fire. Use a small tea lite or LED candle for light.

Found the sentiment on  http://home.pcisys.net/~tbc/bedpryr.htm   from this site it has many different variations of this prayer.
