3/$5 Card Making Night - November

A couple of weeks ago, I held my November 3/$5 card night (holiday themed, of course!) It was an awesome turn out and I think each of the ladies had a lot of fun. Many of them decided to make 2 sets of cards, so I was glad that I had made up lots of extras!

My card night fell during the week before Thanksgiving, so I knew it was the perfect time to add a Thanksgiving card to the "card menu".


Stamp Set: Day of Gratitude

Paper: Old Olive, Cajun Craze, More Mustard, Early Espresso, Very Vanilla, Autumn Spice Specialty Paper

I saw this card at Laurie's Stampin' Spot and instantly fell in love with it! I only tweaked a few things (mostly the sentiment) because I adored everything about it.

I thought it might be fun to add a little something different to this month's card night, so we made a gift card holder. I found a quick and simple tutorial on how to make these. I used the Two Tags Die to make the portion of the gift card holder that comes out and attached a piece of tape to hold the gift card in place.
