Thanksgiving Invitation

Welcome to the Stampin’ Pretty Pals’ Blog Hop! This month, the theme is “My Happiest Season”. We really hope that you enjoy and will be inspired by them! As you hop from blog to blog, don’t forget to leave comments because we love hearing from you. You will find the lineup at the end of my post to help you “hop” along from Pal to Pal.

It’s so hard to pick a favorite season because I’m a fan of all the seasons in Iowa, except the cold and icy one which shall remain nameless. I love hosting my extended family for Thanksgiving and always send them a special invitation, so Fall/Thanksgiving is certainly one of my favorite seasons.

Here is this year’s invitation. I went for a classic, formal invitation using the Pretty Pumpkins Bundle and the Seasonal Swirls dies. The pumpkin is heat embossed in copper with a copper foil circle behind it. The sentiment is also heat embossed in copper. A Tasteful Labels die was used to trim the sentiment. I really like the texture of the Timeworn Type 3D Embossing folder.

After I was done making this year’s invitation, I went back to see what I sent last year. I think by November of 2020 I was done with anything dark or sad because of COVID, so I made the invitation in bright & happy Stamping Mom colors. I also thought it was ironic that both cards said, “Gather Together.” I guess that’s one of the reasons Thanksgiving is one of my favorite seasons is because I love my family and love gathering them together!

I went back one more year to find the 2019 invitation and it says, “give Thanks.” I love making homemade pies especially apple, pecan and coconut cream, so I wasn’t too surprised I had a “turkey with a pie” invitation.

I also make treats for everyone who comes to Thanksgiving at our home. Here’s a collection of past Thanksgiving treats and invitations. I want my guests to feel special and I hope by sending them a handmade invitation and sending them home with handmade treats they feel extra loved and appreciated!

I would love to hear stories about some of your family traditions. Please leave a comment and share them with me.

More inspiration awaits, so use the lineup below to visit the rest of the Design Team. The Pals are excited to show you what they’ve created! Then, please mark your calendars for our next blog hop on September 8th. Our theme will be “Focus on the Sentiment” when our Design Team creates a project showcasing a sentiment as the focal point of their project. Until then, have fun in your craft space.

I don’t have any of the new Halloween sets, but I do have this adorable Cute Halloween Designer Series Paper (DSP). Everyone who ordered a Fall Mini product share from me will be getting the paper as well. It is adorable! Do you see the sponging on the ghosts? These were fussy cut from the DSP and the sponging is already there.

I am now working on my customer shares and have a few extra. If you haven’t ordered one of my bargain priced shares, see all the details here. You can order with a credit card, check, Venmo or PayPal.

It’s time for another Festive Friday Challenge!  This week’s challenge #FF0090 is International Bat Night which is August 29th.

The Inspo List is 10 items you can choose from to create your project. Incorporate THREE or more of the items in your project and link up! #festivefridaychallenge  I hope you’ll make a card, scrapbook page or 3-D item and join us. If you want help entering, please email me at Beth@StampingMom.com and I’d be happy to help you! From the Inspo List I used bats, black and emboss.  You entry doesn’t have to have anything to do with International Bat Night.
