Grateful Heart Thanksgiving Cards

It seems like its been forever since I made some cards.  I'm excited to share this card today because it's using my favorite colors of fall and I love the new Grateful Heart collection from Close To My Heart.


This card is so simple and I love it!  It feels like the flower patterned paper really shines through.  This card is a standard 4 1/4 by 5 1/5.  If you have a background paper you love and want it to take center stage then cut it at 4 by 5 1/4.  This will give you 1/4 inch of the base card all the way around but lets your B&T you love to be the focus.

I used my cricut to cut the Give Thanks from the Designer's Calendar cartridge and used Goldrush cardstock with for the banner.  I cut out the sentiment first and used that to determine the size of my banner.

A tip to cutting the banner flag by hand is to measure the length of where you want to cut it and then find the halfway point.  From that point go in and make a dot for how deep you want the flag to be.  Then when you are cutting the diagonal line from each of the corners - you have a dot to focus on that is right at the halfway point.

Hope you have a great day!  Thanks for stopping by!
