New in the Shop — It's Here! My First Thanksgiving Card Kit

Hello Friends!

It's HERE! My very first card kit is in the shop, and I'm doing a little happy dance in my craft room right now. 🎉

 


The Harvest of Gratitude - Thanksgiving Card Kit makes 6 cards, and everything is ready to go:
  • 6 card bases with envelopes - 4.25 x 5.5 finished card size.
  • Pre-cut patterned papers in harvest fall theme
  • Die shapes already cut out for you
  • Printed sentiments
  • A printed instructions
No stamps, no ink, no fancy machines. Just glue and a happy hour or two!

A few of my favorite ways to use them:
  • Tuck one in with a fresh sourdough loaf for the neighbors
  • Set one at each plate on Thanksgiving Day
  • Mail one to the family who can't make it home this year
  • Give to my colleagues as a reminder of how much they mean to me
And my favorite - 
  • Make a family night of it! Everyone makes a card for someone they're thankful for
I made a limited batch of the kits, and when they're gone, they're gone! 

Kit sales close Sunday, November 15th - This will ensure you receive them in time to give before Thanksgiving.  

You'll find it right here in my Etsy shop.

And from the bottom of my heart, thank you for cheering me on as I try something new. Your comments and hellos make my whole week!

Show & Tell — Gobble, Gobble! A Sneak Peek From My Kitchen Table

 Hello Friends!

Can you believe Halloween is over already? 

Each year the Hubby and I stock up on Halloween treats in the hopes that a sweet little visitor will ring our bell.  But still after 10 years, no trick-or-treaters.  This year, instead of eating all the candy ourselves, we were able to ship it off to Pumpkin's dorm and she is sharing with her floor mates. I so love being able to do that.

And now my brain has gone straight to pumpkin pies and everything fall. 🥧

I've been up to something, and I'm SO excited I can hardly keep it a secret... I made my very first card kit! YAY!

Here's the thing: I'm not a fancy, been-crafting-forever kind of crafter. I'm a crafter who loves pretty paper, bright colors and that happy feeling when someone opens a card you made just for them. 

So I put together the kit I'd want: The type of kit that takes less than an hour to put together 6 cards, no need for a bunch of supplies or special tools, everything cut and ready to assemble.

Just you, a little glue, and maybe a mug of something warm.

And by the time you finish that warm mug of goodness, your done with 6 cards to give to the special people in your life.

Perfect for Thanksgiving greetings, gratitude notes, or simply sharing a little kindness during the most colorful season of the year.

Here is a sneak peek,



 

I'm picturing making these on a kitchen table on a chilly evening: with your family, your best friend, or just you and a good playlist. 

Whoever opens one of these treasures made by you - is going to LOVE it.

The kit goes live in my Etsy shop this Thursday! I put together a small batch of kits, so I'll share the link the minute it's ready!

Who's on your Thanksgiving card list this year? Tell me in the comments. I'd love to know who you're thankful for!
