Thanksgiving cards are on my crafting table, and I had so much fun creating these three cards during my most recent Facebook Live on the I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ Facebook Page! If you missed the live, I’m sharing a closer look at all three designs so you can find a little inspiration for your own fall cardmaking.
The Thanks and Giving Stamp Set by Stampin’ Up! is perfect for creating thoughtful Thanksgiving cards filled with warm colors, beautiful foliage, and heartfelt sentiments. Whether you love elegant layers, patterned paper, or stamped images that do all the work for you, these three cards offer something a little different!
Each card has its own personality, but they all share that cozy Thanksgiving feel.
Want to see how these cards came together? You can watch the replay on my I’d Rather Bee Stampin’ Facebook Page and craft along with me!
Card 1: Classic and Elegant
This card features a beautiful stamped foliage image in warm golden tones, paired with crisp white layers and a textured background. The “Happy Thanksgiving” sentiment takes center stage, while a little linen thread and a few embellishments add the finishing touches. I love how the simple color palette lets the stamped image shine! Quick color added: I used a Blending Brush with Barely Blush ink to quickly color the wreath. Then I used Golden Glow Blends to add a bit of color to the leaves. Easy peasy!
Card 2: Beautiful Foliage and Rich Color
The second card features a gorgeous foliage pattern stamped across the card front in a deep, rich shade. A coordinating border, a layered Thanksgiving sentiment, and a few gold-toned embellishments complete the design. This card is a wonderful reminder that repeating a single stamped image can create a beautiful background!
Card 3: Fall Colors and Patterned Paper
For the third card, I brought in patterned paper and layered stamped elements in rich autumn shades. The mix of patterns and warm colors creates a festive look that is perfect for sending Thanksgiving wishes to family and friends. The twine adds a soft, natural touch that ties everything together.
I hope these projects inspire you to pull out your stamps, patterned paper, and favorite fall colors to create some handmade Thanksgiving greetings of your own.
Thanks for spending a little creative time with me! Happy stamping!

Thank you to everyone who joined me for yesterday’s Facebook Live! I had so much fun creating with the beautiful Sunflower Fields Suite Collection and the Radiant Sunflowers Bundle. If you missed the live, be sure to catch the replay and see these three fall-inspired cards come together.
To thank you for watching, I’m offering a special ordering bonus through Sunday!
- Place a $50 order and receive the card kits to create these three projects. You will need the Radiant Sunflowers Bundle to complete the cards.
- Place a $100 order and receive the three card kits PLUS a pack of Radiant Gems!
This special ends Sunday, so don’t wait too long to place your order. I can’t wait for you to create these beautiful sunflower cards yourself!
The Sunflower Fields Suite Collection is filled with warm, cheerful colors, beautiful floral patterns and coordinating products that make creating for fall—and beyond—so much fun. The Radiant Sunflowers Bundle adds even more creative possibilities with lovely sunflower images and coordinating dies.
For the first card, I paired the gorgeous floral Designer Series Paper with a large layered sunflower and a sweet “Hello, Friend” sentiment. The checked ribbon adds just the right amount of texture and gives the card a warm, homespun feel.
The second card features a fun-fold design with layers of sunflower-patterned paper. A smaller sunflower, leafy accents and an adorable little vase create a pretty focal point alongside the “Thinking of You” sentiment. It’s such a cheerful card to send when someone could use a little sunshine! Be sure to watch the Live to see the fun and cute inside panel of this card!
For the third card, I let the colorful floral paper do most of the work. A bold sunflower, checked ribbon and simple “Enjoy” sentiment finish the card beautifully without covering too much of that gorgeous pattern.
Which card is your favorite? I’d love to know!

If these cards don’t get you in the mood for Christmas I’m not sure anything will!! These cards all feature the Take a Bow DSP – it’s so cute! And perfect for Christmas cards/projects – but also some of the patterns can we used for other times, too!! These are the three cards I made yesterday on my weekly FB Live.
Below is the video recording of my live:
The first card used the second smallest circle die from the Stylish Shapes dies. The nice thing about cutting DSP with the dies is that you can do several at the same time – a great time saver! When I created this card, I asked my viewers to pick whether they liked the Santa in the center of the card – or if they preferred the house?? Which do you like best?
I
I die cut a few more circles and cut them in half with my Paper Trimmer and added them along the Basic White panel on the inside of the card! Great way to use small DSP scraps – we all have them, don’t we?
My second card featured more of the Take a Bow DSP – I used the Greetings of the Seasons dies to create the two large tags. Both the Santa and the House are from punch bundles – which means you can punch them quickly! I also used the Red & White Peppermint Gems for my embellishments on all of the cards – they are just too cute! Thanks for stopping by – I hope you like my cards!

The Changing Leaves bundle is gorgeous! It includes a Hybrid Embossing Folder that I have fallen in love with!!! This bundle has been highly popular and you can see why with these cards!!!
Below is the video recording of my live:
My first card is monochromatic. I used a beautiful combination – Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and Pool Party. This card features the stmap set alone – so pretty – I love the detailed leaves!
My second card featured the embossing folder with the Hybrid component. Be sure to watch my recording of the FB Live to see it in action. It’s easy to use and fun! The focal point of this card is the Season of Elegance Specialty Paper – it is 12″ x 12″. The combination of this paper with Basic Beige has become a favorite of mine.
The third card is a combination of the embossing folder, and the Season of Elegance DSP.
