If you have been to your local grocery store then you may have already started seeing the displays of stuffing, turkey broth and cranberries like I have. And it's gotten to me!
Here is my first Thanksgiving card ideas of the 2021 season and yes, it is only two days before Halloween but crafters are always planning (slightly) ahead right?
PRODUCTS USED:
- What's Cookin' Dies
- Words Wishes Dies
- Sahara Sand, Basic White and Basic Black Cardstock
- Brushed Metallic Cardstock
- Memento Tuxedo Black Ink
- Stampin' Blends: Poppy Parade Light, Old Olive Light and Crumb Cake Light
- Paper Trimmer
- Stampin' Cut & Emboss Machine
- Banners Pick a Punch
- Stampin' Seal+
- Fine Tip Glue Pen
- Round and Square Brads (Black Square Brad)
- Take Your Pick Tool
CARD MEASUREMENTS:
Card Base: 5-1/2 x 8-1/2" scored at 4-1/4"
Outside and Inside Card Layer (Basic White): 4 x 5-1/4" (You need two of these)
Basic Black Banner: 1 x 4-1/4" and on the live Pumpkin Pie Banner: 1 x 4-1/8"
NOTE: I discovered when the banner was at 4-1/4" it went slightly off of the card so the reduced it to 4-1/8" on the livestream.
All of the Cookin' Dies and the Thanksgiving Word Die Cuts were in the Brushed Metallic Cardstock (gold).
INSTRUCTIONS:
Take the trio of vegetables stamp (tomato, celery and mushroom) and stamp them all around the border of the Basic White cardstock layer in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. Color the tomatoes with Stampin' Blend Poppy Parade Light, Mushroom in Crumb Cake (I only added a hint of color where the shading was on the stamp so the mushrooms still looked white with a hint of color) and then the celery in Old Olive Light. I did not do any special blending. I kept the coloring simple.
One of the incredible aspects of the "Distinkive" stamp line is all of the detail and shading already added to the images. If you prefer not to color in the images they will still look amazing. I would only recommend the Memento ink if you plan to shade with alcohol markers. This is ensure the ink doesn't bleed.
Die cut your pieces in Brushed Metallic Cardstock. I chose the gold sheet.
Once your pieces are die cut, use your Take Your Pick tool (the sharp pokey edge) to pierce a hole into the Basic White Layer where you'd like your Cutting Board and Kitchen Utensils to hang. I chose just under the stamped frame of veggies as if the utensils and cutting board were hanging on a kitchen wall.
I did them one at a time meaning I pierced the center hole first and then added the square brad to secure the cutting board before piercing the second hole. I'd do the same thing, secure the utensil with the brad and then pierce the third hole, etc. You could pierce them all at once but I was just eyeballing the die cut placement. I didn't have official measurements so that is entirely up to you.
Stamp your inside sentiment. I chose "Sending You a Dash of Kindness..." and then stamped the trio of veggies right next to the sentiment and colored those with the same Stampin' Blends as well.
PLAYING WITH THE BUNDLE
I did not get a chance to fully dive into this bundle yet but I did at least get a chance to stamp each image in Crumb Cake and then stamped them in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then die cut the pieces. I wanted to show you what the images look like without any coloring. Are they absolutely incredible? I LOVE this set. There are so many wonderful things to create with this bundle. This is in the 2021-2022 Annual Catalog from Stampin' Up! and when you purchase the bundle you can save 10%.

I hope you enjoyed this card project. One question I asked on my Facebook Live that I would also like to ask you: DO YOU WANT TO SEE MORE IDEAS FOR THANKSGIVING?
I would love to know if you create any handmade cards, treat boxes, favors, bags, any tablescape pieces like name cards or place holders? Do you make invitations or recipe cards for holiday parties or gatherings? If there is anything you'd like to see let me know. I want to be sure you are getting the inspiration you'd like during the holidays. There is no wrong answer. If you prefer to jump into Christmas let me know!
