Thankful Turkey Card - TMS #579

It's hard to believe that November has arrived. Now that Halloween is behind us I'll be focusing on my Thanksgiving Cards. I mail about a dozen or more to family and friends. 🦃 Do you send handmade Thanksgiving cards to your family? 

This weeks sketch at Tuesday Morning Sketches was perfect for this Thankful Turkey Card. I've had this digital image printed for several years. It was left over from cards I made back in 2016, so I decided it was time for it to appear on it's own card. 🦃

The challenge details and design team inspiration for Tuesday Morning Sketches can be found HERE. We would love for you to join us this week! All you have to do is make a creation using this weeks sketch and link it to the challenge post by 8 pm EST on Sunday. I'm glad you stopped by and enjoy the rest of your day. 🦃

Simple Thanksgiving Cards

My Thanksgiving cards are in the mail!!! To get them done in time I made some Simple Thanksgiving Cards using a pre-colored digital image by Deedee's Digis (no longer in business) and various patterned papers. When I run short on time using pre-colored images really speeds things along. Matching patterned papers was the most time consuming part when making these cards but I didn't dig deep and used many patterns from my scrap bin. All layouts are simple and most don't have embellishments. I played around with sequins but didn't like how they looked. The Many Blessings sentiment by Taylored Expressions was heat embossed with white embossing powder. The image was die cut with a stitched circle die by My Favorite Things and a pair of deckle scissors by Fiskar's was used to cut the matting circle. That pretty much sums up these Simple Thanksgiving Cards!

Quirky Turkey Card Take Two

Hello! I have one week to get all my Thanksgiving cards done. If I would have know earlier in the year that I would go back to work full-time, I wouldn't have procrastinated. Oh well! I am thankful I have a fun new job and it adds an element of fun to have a short deadline. Earlier in the month I made a Quirky Turkey Thanksgiving Card and at the same time I printed out several images and stamped several sentiments. So, I decided to make another Quirky Turkey Card. The image is by Doodle Pantry and comes pre-colored which works perfectly when time is an issue. The patterned papers are from the Pumpkin Patch and Sweater Weather collections both by DCWV. I kept the layout simple with a center focused design. For detail I did some stitching on the green panel and added some Candy Dots. All in all this was a pretty easy card. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day/night!

This Quirky Turkey Card is entered into the following challenges:

Quirky Turkey Thanksgiving Card

Here it is.... my first Thanksgiving card for 2014. I used the sketch from Tuesday Morning Sketches and the Quirky Turkey image is by Doodle Pantry. The image used came pre-colored which makes creating multiple cards super easy. The background and patterned paper is from the Sweater Weather collection by DCWV. The purple patterned paper is digital and comes with the Turkey image by Doodle Pantry. It seems I placed the sentiment label a little low from the sketch placement but it didn't alter the sketch too much. Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your day!
