I'm hopping with the fabulous Stampin' Friends today! If you're joining me from another blog on the hop, welcome. I hope you'll check out my projects and then continue on the hop. You'll find the full list of designers and links at the bottom of this post.

This month, we are all sharing projects about giving thanks. I have a thank you card idea that is full of texture. Plus, I have a fun DIY table decoration that you can make for your Thanksgiving table. 

So, on y go! Let's get stamping.
Supply List for these Thank You Cards

Thank You Card Idea with Texture

If you'd like to see exactly how I made this beautiful thank you card that is full of texture, I have a step-by-step video tutorial for you.

For this clean and simple card design, I used the Celebrate Sunflower stamp set and Sunflower dies. I also used the Harvest Meadow patterned paper.

I cut the outline of the flower and leaves from Basic White cardstock. I cut the back from the patterned paper. I adhered the white outlines to the patterned paper backgrounds.

Cutting dimensions:

Thick Basic White: 8 1/2" x 5 1/2", scored at 4 1/4"
Basic White: 5 1/4" x 4"
Additional Basic White cardstock for die-cut pieces and sentiment

I liked the white so much that I decided to try this same design with a Sahara Sand and a Soft Suede base. What do you think, which is your favorite?

DIY Thanksgiving Table Decoration. Create this fun little clothespin turkey with a little patterned paper and cardstock. Use it as a table place card or just add a Thanksgiving sentiment.

Turkey Table Decoration

This is a fun DIY table decoration for Thanksgiving that would be a great craft to do with kids or to do on your own. You can write someone's name on the strip of white or add a Thanksgiving greeting. The clothespin could clip on a napkin or just sit on the table.

I made these fun little clothespin turkeys last year as well. I just updated it for this year with the Harvest Meadow patterned paper. You can watch this video that I made last year to see how to put the pieces together.

Cutting Dimensions for this Turkey

Patterned Paper: 6" x 3" (or two strips 6" x 1 1/2")
Soft Suede cardstock: cut with the two smallest circles from the Layering Circles Dies
Crushed Curry cardstock: cut with the smallest triangle from the Stitched Triangle Dies
Calypso Coral cardstock: punched with the Whale Builder punch
Whisper White: cut with the smallest die from the Stitched Rectangle dies
Clothes pin (about 3 inches)
Matte Black Dots
