Curvy Keepsake Box Turkey

Last week I made a little scarecrow out of a Stampin' Ups curvy keepsake box die cut thing, now I made a super cute (well, I think it's super cute anyway!) turkey. These boxes are only a couple-three inches big so I made it much bigger by adding a tail using scraps of Ronda's fall themed papers and some corn husks. His little face is just a piece of orange cardstock beak with a scrap of red felt underneath, and 2 googly eyes glued on top of 2 light brown circles. Put a piece of burlap ribbon thru the handle and he's done. You could make this without the box if you want, he could be more one-dimensional by making the body from a flat piece of brown cardstock and either hang him up or lay him on your table - one on each place setting would be adorable for Thanksgiving.

Scarecrow Curvy Keepsake Box

I'm new to the whole Stampin' Up paper crafting business and have just discovered this "curvy keepsake" die cut thing that works with my Big Shot. It cuts out 2 pieces that form a small box and after googling for ideas I've found so many cute ideas.  I don't own it (yet) but punched a few out while at Ronda's studio - I thought I'd try my hand at making a couple different ones for her fall seasonal display table - the first one I made is this scarecrow,  decorating it with things I have on hand: corn husk hair, a feather, googly eyes, and twine. Isn't it cute?! These would make great place card holders for Thanksgiving...hmmmm, I might have to make more....;)
