Make your own Thanksgiving Cards

 

 

I shared this Vintage Postcard with you....and maybe you are thinking,

 

''What am I supposed to do with that?"

 

Well this is the card I came up with and here are the steps I used -

 

 

I used this printable, save to your computer and decide how many you will need to make.

 

 

 

I just loved the vibrant colors in this Post card.

 

I wanted to make 4 cards.

 

 

Carefully cut apart.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 



I used a glue stick to attach post card to a thin scrap of cardboard.

 

You probably have a stash of cardboard...am I right?

 

 

 

I cut along the edge.

 

 

 

I wanted to darken and distress the edges. Ink works well but if you don't have any

 

a felt tip watercolor pen will be fine too.

 

 

Then used Tacky glue to attach postcard to another layer of corrugated cardboard....

 

more scraps right?







 

I had ribbon that I added with glue and a couple of buttons.

 

 

 

 

 

I added a bit of glitter to the foliage. I keep a bit of everything...it just happened that I had extra

 

envelopes with gold lining saved for some reason. The envelopes were 5 1/2'' x 7 1/2''.

 

 

I have more cards here that you can choose from.

 

If you used a standard size, the cards are light weight and should mail fine.

 

It is probably best to double check with the Post Office for weight to be safe.

 

You can write a note on the back side or just sign your name.

 

I think it will be greatly appreciated by your loved ones and friends.

 

Happy Thanksgiving!
