Each year for about the past 5 years I have assisted the Mother of Twins Club of Blackhawk County with making cards for a Nursing Home. They felt most people probably get Christmas cards so they do them for Thanksgiving. The cards are set on the food tray at that particular nursing home on Thanksgiving Day. They have made anywhere from 45 to 90 some cards depending on the nursing home they chose for that particular year.

These are 2 of the 3 cards made this year. The 3rd card is one you have seen on here before so I didn't put it out here.
The 1st card is a case of a card in the current years catalog on page 13. It was changed just slightly. It uses a Level 1 Hostess set called "Of the Earth". Also used was the Give Thanks from the Level 1 Hostess set called "Holiday Best" on the same page. Cardstock used is Kraft, Really Rust, More Mustard & Close to Cocoa with Really Rust & Chocolate Chip ink used.
The 2nd card uses a old favorite called "Lovely as a Tree" from page 110 of the current catalog. The Sizzix Big Shot was used with the Stampin Up Scallop Square Bigz Clear Die & the Originals Ovals Die. Also used was the Texturz Plate Kit #4 for the background of the card. Sponge Daubers were used to color the tree with Chocolate Chip, Old Olive & Ruby Red ink by starting with the lightest color first & then stamping on Very Vanilla cardstock. You do have to clean the stamp in between. Happy Thanksgiving came from the Teeny Tiny Wishes stamp set from page 145 & the Modern Label punch (page 186-187) was used to punch the words.
