#Thanksgiving Cards

25

Falling leaves, cornucopias, sheaves of wheat, pumpkin pie, turkey, etc., etc., are what often come to mind when I think of Thanksgiving.  (That’s right, I just said sheaves.)  I’m a sucker for harvest icons at Thanksgiving time and can’t resist a Thanksgiving card with sheaves of wheat bundled up on the front.  But alas, I was feeling in a playful mood and thought I would bring Thanksgiving into the modern age with a trio of fun and cute hashtag Thanksgiving cards.

#Thanksgiving Cards by @popperandmimi using @PebblesInc Home+Made collectionAs cardmakers, it can sometimes be tricky to incorporate 4″x6″ journaling cards with “scrappy” phrases into our card making.  But I discovered that with Thanksgiving in mind, almost any touchy-feely-scrapbooky phrase can be turned into a Thanksgiving phrase.  Take a look at some of your journaling cards.  You’ll see what I mean.  I took a couple of journaling cards from the Home+Made collection and made some fun Thanksgiving cards using hashtags to tie everything together.

#Thanksgiving Cards by @popperandmimi using @PebblesInc Home+Made collectionWhile this card could be used for any celebratory occasion, I think it makes a super fun Thanksgiving card.  An abundant Thanksgiving feast is often anticipated and planned weeks in advance, with the expectation that it will indeed be the #bestdayever.

#Thanksgiving Cards by @popperandmimi using @PebblesInc Home+Made collectionI shortened the gold hashtag by trimming the top and the bottom by about 1/4″.  This made the hashtag fit the sentiment so much better.

#Thanksgiving Cards by @popperandmimi using @PebblesInc Home+Made collectionI used another large journaling card as the focal point of this card and instead of turning the entire phrase into a hashtag, I created my own hashtag by die cutting a short phrase from gold foil paper.  I trimmed the journaling card a bit and layered it on top of a piece of patterned paper and gold glitter scallop tape.

#Thanksgiving Cards by @popperandmimi using @PebblesInc Home+Made collectionThe gold foil paper from the Home+Made collection die cut really well.  These little letters aren’t much taller than 1/4″ and they turned out perfectly on the first try.  The gold foil paper is a little thicker than standard cardstock, so I used a slower cut speed and used the double cut setting.

#Thanksgiving Cards by @popperandmimi using @PebblesInc Home+Made collectionI had a lot of fun with this card.  Like the gold hashtag above, I trimmed the black hashtag down a bit to better fit with the black Thickers.  I pointed the gold glitter arrows toward the sentiment and added a fun tear strip that reads “best day ever” because Thanksgiving is, like, the best day ever.

Have a fun and happy Thanksgiving!

    Your #ChowDown made me laugh. It has your fun personality all over it. Great idea for using the 4×6 cards! 🙂
