Thanksgiving 2024 | Thankful For You

Vicky Hattingh

Hi friends!  For today’s card I am joining the Spellbinders Lilac Lovelies Contest where participants are asked to create a lilac-colored project using Spellbinders products.  I’ve been wanting to make a card using the cute Spellbinders “Happy Turkey Day” die set ever since I received it and this contest gave me the perfect – not-so-traditional – chance for another fun Thanksgiving card.


The supplies used were:

  Spellbinders Cardstock - Plum, Royal Amethyst, Lilac Blossom, and Purple Mist

  Spellbinders “Happy Turkey Day” Die Set

  Uniball Signo Broad Silver Metallic Pen

  Spellbinders “Make A Wish Arch Labels” Die Set

  Spellbinders “Essential Arches” Die Set

  Spellbinders Treasured Cardstock – Silver Assorted

  Spellbinders / Simon Hurley – “Plaster” 3D Embossing Folder

  Spellbinders “Sentiment Labels” Die Set

  Ranger / Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Villainous Potion

  Spellbinders Mini Blending Brush Set

  Ranger / Tim Holtz Distress “Sterling” Foundry Wax

  Spellbinders “Silver” Glimmer Foil

  Bearly Art Precision Craft Glue in Spellbinders Precision Tip Bottle

  Scrapbook Adhesives Thin 3D Foam Squares

  Nuvo Aqua Shimmer Silver Glitter Gloss

  Ranger Heat It Craft Tool

  Spellbinders Glimmer Hot Foil System



I started the project by cutting all my turkey layers from Spellbinders cardstocks – the colors I used were Plum, Royal Amethyst, Lilac Blossom, and Purple Mist.  I assembled the turkey using liquid glue to adhere the individual pieces, then I used the Copic marker 100 (Black) to color the turkey’s eye and Copic marker RV93 (Smoky Purple) to color the blush oval for his cheek.  I placed a very small piece of redline tape on the back side of the turkey’s head to allow me to adhere the eye and cheek die cuts back into place and thin foam squares to adhere the main turkey body to the tail feathers for extra dimension.  Using a Uniball Signo silver metallic pen, I colored the metal buckle on the turkey’s hat and applied Nuvo Aqua Shimmer to the snood that hangs over the turkey’s beak.


Using the largest die from the Spellbinders “Essential Arches” die set, I cut a panel from the Silver Glitter Metallic cardstock that is part of Spellbinders’ Treasured Silver Assorted cardstock pack and trimmed about 0.25” off the bottom and using the third largest die from this set, I die cut a white cardstock panel to serve as a matting layer from which I also had to trim approximately 0.25” off the bottom.  Then using the Spellbinders “Make a Wish Arch Labels” die set, I used the largest die placed all the way past the edge of the fold of an A2, side folding card panel and cut it to be a shaped card to serve as my card base.  Next, I used a Spellbinders Mini Blending Brush to apply Tim Holtz Distress “Villainous Potion” Ink to the bottom/scalloped edge of my card base.  Once the ink had dried, I used a small paint brush and a little bit of Tim Holtz Distress “Sterling” Foundry Wax and painted it onto the tips of the bottom scalloped edge and heat set it with my Heat It Tool.


I added texture to the white cardstock matting layer by running it through my die cutting machine using the Spellbinders / Simon Hurley “Plaster” 3D embossing folder.  I attached the glitter cardstock layer directly onto the card base using thin foam strips.  Using liquid glue, I attached the white matting layer onto the glitter cardstock layer.


For the sentiment, I used the Spellbinders “Windy Fall Leaves” Betterpress die set and foiled the three sentiments from that die set onto Spellbinders “Royal Amethyst” cardstock using Spellbinders Silver Glimmer Foil.  I die cut the sentiment strip using the Spellbinders “Sentiment Labels” die set, adhered it to the card front using thin foam squares and embellished the ends of the label with two silver/glass AB pearls.


I hope you enjoyed the card and found inspiration for some of your own card making projects!  Until next time… happy making!
