When I saw Libby Fen's punch art turkey card using the Penguin Builder Punch, I just had to create a project using her punch art design! Libby's turkey punch art is so perfect, festive, and adorable! It is great for your Thanksgiving guests of all ages! Today's project is a custom napkin ring for your Thanksgiving table.
I made a napkin ring for the Thanksgiving table featuring Libby's punch art turkey. The napkin ring base is Sahara Sanda cardstock stamped with the leaves from Painted Pheasant. Attached to the front is the turkey punch art. I love the addition of the amber gems to the ends of the turkey's "feathers"! How clever and beautiful!
First, I stamped the leaves image with Crumb Cake ink on a 2" x 7-3/4" piece of Sahara Sand cardstock. Then I added a piece of Tear and Tape Adhesive vertically to the left edge of the cardstock.
Next I curled the cardstock with a bone folder to help the cardstock become a cylinder shape.
I used a napkin ring that I had to help shape the cardstock napkin ring. This is not necessary, but it was helpful for me to form the napkin ring cyclinder shape. Remove the Tear and Tape Adhesive and adhere the cardstock ends together to complete the napkin ring base.
If you are using a store bought napkin ring as a form, you can now remove it from the cardstock napkin ring base.
Build the turkey punch art. Punch the body of the turkey using the Penguin Builder Punch and Crumb Cake cardstock. Punch the eyes from the Whale Builder Punch and Basic Black cardstock. Punch the wattle from the Whale Builder Punch spout and Real Red cardstock. Punch the beak from the Song Bird Punch and Daffodil Delight cardstock. Adhere the eyes, wattle, and beak to the turkey's body.
Add 3 dimensionals vertically down the center of the back of the turkey's body. Attach a maple leaf die cut from the Leaf Label and Amber Gems Combo Pack to the back of the turkey's body. Add amber gems to each of the ends of the feathers.
Then add 4 dimensionals vertically down the center of the back of the maple leaf. In the photo below, you will see 3 dimensionals on the leaf. Add 1 more dimensional right on top of the dimensional at the bottom of the turkey body. This will form a double layer of dimensionals to evenly support and level the punch art on the napkin ring.
Adding dimensionals down the center of the punch art enables the cardstock to move and bend when being used without tearing or being too fragile.
