Thankful Banner

Hi everyone! It's Maria from Stamp, Cut, Create! sharing a banner I made for Thanksgiving. I don't know about you, but I feel that between Halloween and Christmas,  Thanksgiving gets kind of left out when it comes to decorating for holidays. Personally, Thanksgiving is one of my favorite days. I love cooking and visiting with family and friends and I think it's wonderful to have one day that we remember to be thankful for all the good things in our lives. Also, as my daughter once said, it's great because it's a whole day dedicated to eating!

For today's project, I used kraft paper to cut a scalloped tag  at 5.5" from the Birthday Bash cartridge. I then added a  rounded rectangle cut from Sugar and Spice that was cut with a printed paper from DCWV Harvest Gathering at 4.75".  The letters, the basic font from CM Cheerful Seasons, were cut in the shadow and regular cut at 2.66" and then adhered to the mat with Scotch Foam tape.  I then wrapped a piece of ribbon, from American Crafts, around the bottom portion of the tag.
I cut leaves from Designer's Calendar at 3.5" in different fall colors, them embossed them with a variety of embossing folders. They were then inked with Galaxy Gold Dew Drop ink by Tsukineko. The leaves were placed on the tags so that they would overlap when hung.

The tags were attached to a piece of jute twine with some cute little clothespins that I've had in my stash for several  years. I was so happy to find a way to use them!
Thanks so much for joining us today and I hope you enjoyed my entry for the Cricut Fanatics blog. I wish you all a very happy Thanksgiving!
