Hello Crafty Friends! November is here, and with Thanksgiving just around the corner, it’s the perfect time to think about the little ways we can make someone feel special. Whether you’re gathering around the table with family, sending a note to someone you love, or simply wanting to remind someone how thankful you are for them, a handmade card is a beautiful way to share those feelings.
For this project, I used the Farmhouse Collection Cards & Envelopes. The set comes with six cards and six matching envelopes, each in a different color. I made all the cards and added a small layered scene to each one.
I started by creating layered backgrounds for each card using the 6x6 paper pad along with a few additional coordinating papers from the collection. For each card, I created two layered mats, leaving a small border around the edges so the beautiful patterns could peek through. I adhered these directly to the card bases using liquid adhesive or my favorite double-sided adhesive.
Next, I trimmed six circles, 3.5 inches each. These became the foundation for my little fall scenes. I attached the circles using foam adhesive to add dimension. Using the Mini Icons and Puffy Icons, I started layering florals, leaves, trees, and all those adorable little characters from the collection.
I wanted every card to tell a slightly different story. Some feature the cutest little turkeys and chickens, while others have beautiful florals, a tractor, a scarecrow, and all the little details that make fall crafting so much fun.
I also gave each card its own sentiment, including Thanksgiving, Our Family, Give Thanks, Making Memories, and Let’s Give Thanks.
I love how all six cards coordinate while still feeling a little different from one another. Sometimes we don’t need a big gift or an elaborate gesture to make someone feel special. A handmade card, a few thoughtful words, and a little time spent creating something just for them can mean so much.
These would be lovely to bring along to Thanksgiving dinner, tuck into a small gift, or send to someone who could use a little reminder of how much they’re appreciated.
I hope these six handmade cards inspire you to pull out your favorite fall papers and create something from the heart. Happy crafting! Xo,
