CottageCutz Focus Week-Holday Treat Holders

Hello everyone and welcome to the final day of our Holiday Treat Holder Focus week!  For today I wanted to share this really sweet Owl in Pumpkin die.  This treat holder is an altered Glassine bag.  To create, just use some pretty fall papers, a spellbinders oval die, and a Martha Stewart Border punch glue to the top and bottom.  A little seam binding ribbon and a tiny clothespin will top off the embellishments.  Aren't these cute? 
There small but no worries.  You want to know why?   They are going to be placed at the table at each place setting and they will hold a "little" treat.  Want to know what it is????  lol  Well how about some movie tickets for Thanksgiving evening.  Isn't that fun.  After dinner, football, and washing dishes what better way to spend the evening watching a great movie.  This little holder is the perfect surprise.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  Sure to appreciate it.  Be sure to leave a comment for your last chance at the prize today.  Happy Crafting!

CottageCutz Turkey Altered Candle

Hello crafters and welcome to another Thanksgiving project share from the "On the Farm" Collection from CottageCutz.  Today I am excited to show you this altered candle from the dollar store.  I have been wanting to do something with one of these fun candles for some time.  You can just about see the glow in this picture.  It's a color changing candle with a flicker light on the top.  Imagine how pretty this will be on your Thanksgiving table.  It was fast, fun, and easy to create.
The Turkey die from CottageCutz is mounted directly on the candle.  To color the Turkey, Brushed Corduroy and Barn Door distress inks were used.   The Sunflowers is another pretty CottageCutz die that were cut on yellow cardstock and lightly inked with Brushed Corduroy as well and glitter with Diamond stickles.  The bottom is a scalloped Spellbinders die with a circle of Thanksgiving designer paper mounted on top.  The same paper was cut 1/4 inch and glued to the top of the candle.
Here it's shown on top of a candlestick-which is also a great look to give it some height on the table.  Thanks so much for stopping by today.  I appreciate your visit.  Until next time,  Happy Crafting.  Here are the dies used:

Handmade Thanksgiving Turkey Card

Hi Friends and Bloggers. Can you believe this is the first ever Thanksgiving Card I have made. I usually don't make Thanksgiving Cards, but I thought since I had this very cute Turkey Sticker and the Thanksgiving Sentiment that I would play with it.

Since this card was so easy peasy to put together. I thought I would try making a custom box and belly band. I was so easy to do and I really like that you can see the card through the acetate window instead of covering up all the beauty in an envelope. This box went together so easy.

Here is how the card fits in the box. I made the belly band to fit around it and used some pretty fall stickers that came with the Turkey.
This is the card all boxed up and ready for gift giving. If you are interested in the measurements and how I did this, just leave a comment and I will put a little tutorial here. I promise it is so easy! You will love it!
