Give THANKS!
Hi readers! Happy Sunday! Can you believe it’s the week of Thanksgiving?! (Directed to readers in the ‘States like me ;)) My goodness, time just keeps on ticking!! Maybe our blog can help give you a bit of a slow down to enjoy and be inspired! This month Lawn Fawn’s own Chari Moss has made a very season appropriate card that I think you’ll love!
Enjoy!
Is anyone else totally in Thanksgiving mode? I am, we are having our family over to our new house for Thanksgiving so I’m getting things ready to have our first gathering! So I was inspired to create a thanksgiving card for you today. I wanted to create a big bold sentiment with the critters as supporting elements so I thought die cuts would be the perfect way to do that.
I stamped gingham backdrops in red Lobster ink on red cardstock for a tone on tone pattern and I chose cork for the scripty thanks for some extra texture. I had originally planned on using the die cut letters for both words but since I had laid out my dies perfectly on the red I ended up with a perfect negative die cut that I liked even better!
The leaves and corn are from the happy harvest set and I just stamped them around in various inks to act like simple embellishment rather than sequins and then I finished it off with a little rustic twine along the top.

Adorable card! The critters are lovely and the thanks in cork looks awesome!
I love Chari’s work! Always so cute! I live in Canada, so I am busy crafting for Christmas!
Good use of the clear background stamp! I have lots of stamps like that and always struggled with incorporating them. Thanks for sharing your idea!
I liked the tone on tone that you used for the red. Enjoy your new home and having family over for the holidays .
beautiful card!
Just got done coloring these little critters myself. I may have to add some Thanksgiving images to them. My mother in law is cooking this year and I am grateful to her for that. I usually make her a card. Thanks for the inspiration nudge.
Love the card, especially the gingham backdrop.
This is adorable. I keep oogling the Thanks die, but how many thanks does a girl need???? LOL
Aww! How sweet. Love these tiny critters. The cork is a great idea to add texture. I so dislike finding wishbone in my pumpkin pie, don’t you? ;)

These critters are so cute! What a lovely layout and creation – TFS
Chari, totally adorable. I love Lawn Fawn. I can hardly believe how fast the year is slipping away. Thanks for adding a little holiday spirit to the blog.
Such talent and such generous heart by Chari and the other designers for SSS are indeed
a gift to be thankful for, especially this week. Cheers to all.
Total adorableness! I love that you “accidentally” laid out your letters perfectly – lol.
Cute Thanksgiving card! Love the cork “thanks”!
Over the moon cute! Love the critters and the cork sentiment! I have cork ‘stashed’ and I need to get it out! Always forget I have it, lol! Thanks for the inspiration!

HAppy Thanksgiving! We are heading out of town to my daughter and son in law’s. So very excited.
I have some cork and now I know what I’m going to do! Your card is adorable!
Cute card. Love the design and colors.
Love the twine and cork. Adds that fall feeling.
So cute! Love the idea of using cork for the “thanks” die cut!
Wow, what a cool ideal. I will use this to make cards for work. I make card fronts and blank cards that k-5 can use during recess when its inside due to weather for things to do. They make cards for their family and friends. They love the stuff I bring in. Most of them love to color and make stuff. Thanks for the ideas.
Adorable card, love the plaid sentiment and cute little critters giving thanks!
Very cute; love the colors and the way your sentiments turned out, using negative space and the word “thanks” in cork – a compliment to each other. This design would make delightful place cards, too, for the Thanksgiving table.
Sweet! I bought some cork recently and meant to use it for die cutting, but it’s still untouched.
Your little pilgrims show another way to use the adorable critter stamps – thanks!
Cute card!
I LOVE cards that use the Thanksgiving theme!!!
What a GREAT card!!!
Such a different and fun combo for Thanksgiving.
Oh wow, this is just gorgeous! Love the rich colors and the cork adds wonderful texture!
So cute!
Definitely LOVE this! What a fabulous Thanksgiving card ♥
So CUTE! Love these critters!
Very clever to use cork! Looks great!
Super cute :)
