Last cards from Thanksgiving 2025

Hello Bogger Friends! Thanks for taking the time to stop and visit with The Charmed Life Blog today.

Well, Thanksgiving 2025 has come and gone. Hope your holiday was one filled with family. We had 11 people here for dinner and everything went so well. My food turned out delicious. The turkey was so moist, and the accompanying gravy was amazing. 

My daughter-in-law made 2 spectacular veggie dishes - a brussels sprout and cauliflower au gratin and a green bean dish with bacon and egg crumbles. I also made a sweet potato casserole and sour cream, cream cheese and butter twice baked potatoes. That is one of my family's favorite dishes. 

Dessert was pumpkin pie, pumpkin roll and apple & pear streusel pie. I didn't have a lot of leftovers because of the number we had for dinner, but it was enough for us for Friday and Saturday. With the turkey carcass I will make a Turkey Vegetable soup. 

Now onto my cards for today. These are the last 3 of my Thanksgiving cards for this year. This one I used some of the contents of the Stampin' Up Paper Pumpkin Kit for September. The background designer paper is a card base from the kit. 

I embossed a piece of early espresso cardstock with the Tim Holtz "Bricked" embossing folder and then cut an arch opening. I added a copper foil frame around the arch opening. 

The fox is from the kit. The pumpkins and floral sprigs are a die from CottageCutz. I added some enamel dots to complete this card. 

This next card is also using the contents of the September 2025 paper Pumpkin Kit. The background and the triangle shapes are card bases from the kit. The acorn is from Lawn Fawn. I stamped and colored it and used the accompanying die to cut it out.  

I found this sketch on YouTube from Call Me Crafty Al. She has a sheet to download that gives all the measurements to cut your patterned paper. She made a Halloween card but I went with Thanksgiving. When I cut my paper I had enough to make 2 cards so I made one iwth a "family" sentiment and the one below with a "friend's" sentiment. 

This card is the same as the one above but with a different sentiment. The sentiments are from the Stampin"Up Kit - Gift of Fall 2019. 

Well, that's it for me for this post. So until next time.....God bless. I will be starting with showing my Christmas cards.
