Turkey Nut Boxes

Every year for Thanksgiving we have nut cups at each persons table setting. This year after seeing these cute boxes on my friend Wendys Blog ...and this post by my friend Kelly  I decided to combine the two and make some Turkey Nut Boxes...

I got the DP card stock at Michaels...the turkeys are both made form the same paper...I filled them with GV Indulgent Trail Mix from Walmart...Its one of my favorites with Cashew, Almonds, Peanuts, White and Dark Chocolate Chip's,  Golden raisins and Dried Cranberries in it.  Of course, I doctored it up and added an extra can of Cashews to it... My Husband loves Cashews.

My turkeys were made using the following SU punches...and colors
five petal flower...beak and feathers... SU Yo Yo Yellow and Only Orange
scalloped circle ... backing..................SU Early Espresso
1 1/8 Circle ..........facing....................."     "
1/2" circle.............eyes........................GP White
1/4" circle.............pupils......................Embassy Black

  I used mostly scraps from my scrap box to make the Turkeys, and I punched eyes because I was trying to "Use the Stash";  Kelly's use of Wiggly Eyes would be fun. 
I also closed my boxes different  than Wendy. I just cut a square at about 1 1/2" and then folded it in half and slipped it between the edges.. it appears to be holding.  I used, Close to Cocoa , Chocolate Chip and other Brown scraps from my Scrap box.   I think My Nieces and Nephews will love them...

Happy Thanksgiving...  I hope yours is Great!

I am madly working on finishing up my Christmas Cards.. I think I will be able to post them next week.   Until Later..... Happy Stamping!
