I have been working little by little since last Thursday night to get my Stamp Club projects photographed and added to my Blog. I'm still not quite there. So instead of trying to do it in 1 big post, I am breaking it down into smaller ones.
We did 3 fun projects last week. This is the first of the 3:
Tiny Turkey Treat
He is really fun and easy! Here are Step by Step instructions:

| All the pieces you will need. |
The Petal Punch is designed to punch out the shape AND score the folds. Because of this, you cannot see what you are doing by turning punch upside down.
So go ahead and use the Petal Punch right-side up, and press down with punch on a table top.
You will need 2 of these. I like Crumb Cake or Soft Suede card stock.
Now you can assemble the "box". Attach a tiny piece of Sticky Strip to 3 of the petals on 1 piece.
Now you can peel off the backing and stick the pieces together at the first petal.
Go ahead and finish assembling box at the 2 other sticky petals. When finished, it should look like this:
To make the face, simply punch a 1" circle out of Whisper White card stock. For eyes, you will use the Owl Punch. Use Basic Black card stock to punch out the largest eyes and the small pupils. Use Whisper White card stock to punch out the smaller eyes. Glue them together with a Glue Pen. Here is a close up of the eye pieces you will punch out:
To make waddle, you can use a scrap of Riding Hood Red card stock cut about 3/4" wide. Put it in the Scallop Border Punch and punch.
When removed, it will look something like this:
Now turn that same piece of card stock over, and put it back in punch. You should try to line it up at about the same spot as the first placement. Punch.
When you remove it this time, it should look something like this:
Yours might look a little different, or it may take a few trys. But that is the general shape you are trying to achieve. Then you simply snip out the piece for the waddle.
Using the Scallop Circle Punch, punch 1 each of Cajun Craze, Early Espresso, and More Mustard card stock. Snip toward the center between each scallop on the Cajun Craze one.
Do the same with the More Mustard one, but at one point, let your scissors completely snip out a wedge. This will become the turkey's beak.
Now do the same thing with the Early Espresso one, except this time, snip out a piece that is 2 scallops wide. (It will look like a heart shape). This will become the turkey's feet.
Starting with the Early Espresso "feathers", attach to the back of the Petal box. Be careful not to attach your feather layers too high, or it could make your turkey too heavy and fall backwards.
Attach the More Mustard and the Cajun Craze "feathers".
Attach the waddle, beak, eyes and face to the front side of Petal box.
Attach the feet.
Your turkey will look like this from the top:
He is just the right size to hold a single Hershey Nugget. This should also help him stand up straight!
He will look very cute at each place setting of your Thanksgiving Table. Or use these as little treats to give away to friends during November!
