I pulled together two stamp sets from Stampin’ Up!’s 2021-2022 Annual Catalog to create this Thanksgiving card — Beauty of Friendship and Banner Year. The card goes together easily and quickly. Enjoy the free tutorial below.
INK – Cajun Craze (147085), Early Espresso (147114)
OTHER – Stitched Rectangle Dies (151820), Gold 3/8” Fine Art Ribbon (154561), Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels (151193), Mini Glue Dots (103683), Stampin’ Seal (152813), Stampin’ Dimensionals (104430), Paper Snips Scissors (103579), Stampin’ Cut & Emboss Machine (149653)
Cutting & Scoring:
Basic White – 8 ½” x 5 ½” scored at 4 ¼”, 5 ¼” x 4”, 3 ¾” x 2 ½”
Gold Foil – ¼” x 5 ¼” (2)
DSP – 5 ¼” x 1 ½”
Ribbon – 4”
Instructions:
Die cut the 3 ¾” x 2 ½” Basic White Card Stock with the Stitched Rectangle Die that measures approximately 2 ¼’ x 3 ½”
Stamp the tree trunk/branches image with Early Espresso ink onto the die cut rectangle.
With Cajun Caze ink, stamp the large, more solid-looking foliage stamp on top of the trunk, creating a tree image. Set aside.
Choose the “Happy Thanksgiving” sentiment from the Banner Year stamp set and stamp with Cajun Craze ink in the bottom, right-hand corner of the 5 ¼” x 4” piece of Basic White card stock.
Tape the DSP piece (pattern shown above) to the 5 ¼” x 4” Basic White card stock, with the top edge about 1 ½” down from the top. Add each Gold Foil strip, one on top of the DSP and one on the bottom. These are nudged close to the DSP, but do not overlap.
Fold the 8 ½” x 5 ½” Basic White card stock in half. Adhere the 5 ¼” x 4” stamped and decorated piece on top of this.
Add Stampin’ Dimensionals to the back of the tree piece and place on the card front, on the left-hand side.
Tie a knot in the ribbon and place on the tree image with a Glue Dot. Trim ribbon as necessary.
Add three Champagne Rhinestone Basic Jewels to the card front.
Thanks so much for stopping by today.

I love the Penguin Playmates Designer Series Paper, especially the side of the paper without the penguins. Weird, right? But, the colors lend themselves to so many projects.
See this post for cards created with the Delicate Dahlias stamp set and the Penguin Playmates DSP.

With Gorgeous Grape ink, stamp the Merry Christmas sentiment from the Peaceful Deer stamp set onto a Basic White scrap. Die cut with the rectangle label from the Beautiful Trees Dies.
Die cut the 3 ½” x 3 ½” Fresh Freesia card stock with the largest circle from the Layering Circle Dies and the largest scallop on the 3 ½” x 3 ½” Soft Sea Foam card stock. Adhere these together.
With adhesive of choice, place the two DSP pieces onto the 5 ¼” x 4” Basic White card stock, as shown above, with the 1 ¼” piece on the left and the 2 ½” piece placed right next to it, leaving a small white border around.
Place a Glue Dot on each end of the 6” piece of ribbon. Wrap the ribbon around the above layer and affix Glue Dots in the back.
With adhesive of choice, attach this piece to the front of Fresh Freesia 8 ½” x 5 ½” card stock that’s been folded in half to create a base.
Place one Glue Dot in the center of the snowflake. (Note: there is a shiny side and a matte side to the snowflake. I like the shiny side to face up.) Center the snowflake on the circle.
Pop up the snowflake circle on the front of the card with Stampin’ Dimensionals.
Put two or three Mini Stampin’ Dimensionals on the sentiment and place on top of the snowflake, near the bottom.
Tuck the 3” piece of ribbon underneath the ribbon on the card and tie a knot, as shown above.
