Punch Pal Turkey and Place card

This week’s project is place card for the table.  I know it is coming a little late, but I decided that I will prepare them for next year, and who knows, some ambitious person may be able to make them quickly for their own Thanksgiving.  The idea behind these pocket place cards is that you tuck a little note card inside.  You have people go around as they have time, and write one thing that they are thankful about regarding that person.  They are not supposed to put their names on the comments, just the comments.  Each person can then keep the note card with all the things which people are thankful about regarding them.  The other way you could do it is to have each person reflect on what they are thankful about in general, and then have them write it on the journaling card.  At the end of the evening each person can tell everyone what they are thankful for, and the cards can be kept till next year when you compare the different responses.  Either way it can turn into a rather fun and reflective tradition.

Now the video will explain about making the Turkey but there are a couple of things that you will want to follow for the place card pocket itself.

Tutorial:

1. Construct your turkey as described in the video and set aside.
2. Cut out 2 Top Note die cuts from Very Vanilla CS, and 2 Top Note die cuts from Only Orange CS.
3. Sponge the Vanilla Top Notes with Chocolate Chip and sponge the Only Orange Top Notes with Bravo Burgundy.
4. On the Vanilla Top Note dies, trim off the little rim.
5. On one of the Vanilla Top Note dies draw journaling lines using your Chocolate Chip marker (fine point).
6. On the Vanilla Top Note with the journaling, trim off the sides and bottom so that it is rectangular, but keep the bump at the top.
7. Staple on a piece of Old Olive Striped ribbon at the top of the journaling tag.
8. Now take the Only Orange Top Note dies and glue the edges together. Make sure that the glue is on the outer edge, you do not want it to squish past the perforation. Make sure that when you glue, you do not glue past the middle of the sides.  You want to make sure that there is an ample opening for the card to slide in and out easily.
9. Now use your Big Shot to cut the alphabet and glue on the letters to spell the names of your family members or friends.
10. Last you will stick your turkey to the front with Stampin’ Dimensionals.  You are done!

I’m very sorry that there isn’t a supply list below – I’ll do my best to get tto hat tomorrow. I actually did have the supplies listed and then accidentally hit something on my computer that deleted it, along with half my post. So, I had to start over again. Needless to say I’m too tired tonight to re-type the supply list.

Hugs,
