-
Step 1
Take a trip to your local crafts store such as Michael's, A.C. Moore or Hobby Lobby. Find the aisle with the rubber stamping and scrapbooking supplies.
-
Step 2
Decide which colors you want to use on the Thanksgiving cards you create. Stick with fall colors such as gold, orange, green and brown if you want a traditional look. Purchase card stock and inks to work with in the colors that appeal to you.
-
Step 3
Choose the rubber stamps that you want to use on your cards. There are many stamps available and you should have no difficulty finding a cornucopia, turkey or leaves that will depict a traditional Thanksgiving card.
-
Step 4
Take the Thanksgiving card that you create to another level by purchasing some coordinating ribbon, brads, buttons or other small items for embellishment.
-
Step 5
Cut an 8 1/2 x 11 inch piece of cardstock in half. You will now have two pieces that measure 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches. Fold in half so that your card measures 4 1/4 x 5 1/2 inches. This will give you two cards to work on per piece of card stock.
-
Step 6
Be as creative as you want to be with your stamps and embellishments. Use different colors of cardstock to create different layers on the handmade Thanksgiving card. Use double stick tape or a glue stick to adhere the different elements of your card.
