Do you need something cute for your Thanksgiving dinner table? This little guy is going to be the perfect solution. Use him at each place setting on the table. If you need to assign seats then put a name where I stamped the “Happy Thanksgiving”.
This was a really fun project that my Stamper’s club got to make this month at our meeting. And today I shared it on my weekly FB Live. I’ll be uploading it to Youtube as well – and then adding that link here too.
Make these in a variety of patterns from the Plaid Tidings Designer Series paper. The paper is part of the sale this month so grab a pack now. You can get two turkey’s from each sheet of the 6×6 paper. Clip them on to a fork, or a napkin to dress up each place setting for Thanksgiving. If you need assigned seats – then write a name on the banner instead of stamping the Happy Thanksgiving.

Thanks for all you do. Yes that’s something we need to say all the time. There are so many people to thank for the various things they do in our lives. I’ve been trying to be good about sending out thank you cards this year. Making the cards isn’t the problem – its writing the note inside, addressing them, getting the stamp on them and getting them in the mail box.
So when 2018 started I challenged myself to be better – I started doing #mailacardmonday – every Monday I mail out cards – sometimes it might be just one and other times it might be 10 or 20. I had a few slips where instead of Mail a Card Monday it was Try Again Tuesday! And last week not only was it a holiday (which normally I still try to have them in my box) but it was pouring rain and cold – really POURING rain – so I didn’t even try to go outside. So my cards went out on Wednesday and more on Friday. But today I’m trying to get back on schedule to finish out the year and plan to keep it up in 2019.
Today’s card is a sweet Thank You card. Really a very easy design that could be adapted with any designer series paper for any time of year.
The pumpkin paper is from the Toil & Trouble Designer Series paper pack from the Halloween Suite in the Holiday Catalog. It was a perfect pattern for a fall card after Halloween. Cut the paper into 4″ squares and you can get 9 cards out of one sheet of 12×12 paper. I added one of of the metallic Leaves Trinkets from the Annual Catalog tied on with Linen thread for added touch of fall. The stamp set is Friendly Expressions also in our Annual Catalog.

Now I think I’ll get out some of my Christmas paper and try this same idea to make a stack of Christmas cards – what do you think?
November is here – can you believe it? Where did September and October go – I swear they just started! Now it’s time to plan for Thanksgiving and Christmas if you haven’t already started. We will be having our family here for Thanksgiving this year – all three of my boys will be home again and I’m so excited. This week I’m still finishing up things for OnStage this weekend and next week I can focus on Thanksgiving preparations. I do have a Thanksgiving card for you today. I wasn’t sure I liked the Paisley paper but I did order it and I do love it on this card.
I used the copper embossing powder on the greeting from the Suite Seasons stamp set. Did you know that the Suite Seasons set includes sentiments that coordinate with suites throughout the Holiday catalog. This one goes with the Petals & Paisleys Suite. The Specialty Paper has cooper foil in two of the designs. And I also added some linen thread with a little copper pinecone tied to it. I love those little pinecones!
Also today we have a new early release of the Stitched Shapes Framelits plus a sale on select stamp sets through the month of November. Click here to see the full PDF.
I have another edition of my “Reclaimed Wood” Skinny cards. Just in time for Thanksgiving it’s a Pilgrim! I made this little guy for my last Card Maker’s class and he was a big hit.
Here are a few tips for making him:
The card base is Basic Gray – it’s a 3″ wide card and the brim of the hat is 4-1/4″ wide – so he will fit in a regular envelope if you want to mail him out. He would be cute for a place card too.
The hair is cut with the Fringe Scissors.
The gold foil buckle on his hat is the small letter o from the “no.” that is part of the Little Number Thinlits. And the black centers of the eyes are the centers of that same little o.
The white part of the eyes are the small pumpkin shape in the Square Pillow Box Thinlit set – trim off the stem.
For the mouth I traced the Stampin’ Mist bottle
The rosy cheeks and nose are a cotton swap dipped in Pink Pirouette ink.
The bow is from the Mini Treat Bag Thinlits die set.
The notch in the collar is made using the top of the Tree Punch.
Faux stitching is added with a Project Life Journaling Pen.
I hope that you have a wonderful Thanksgiving with you and your family. I have all three of my boys back home. Kyle flew in from California last Thursday. Ryan flew in from Indiana Sunday night. And Tyler came over too (he doesn’t live too far away).
Don’t forget this week is the Online Extravaganza – Click Here for the list – or shop online in my store. The Magnetic Platform is on the list and so are a bunch of the dies for the Big Shot!
There are new Weekly Deals posted today and there is always the Clearance Rack. Do your shopping from home and don’t fight the crowds at the store.
Here are the supplies that I used for my Pilgrim card.
