Give Thanks Card Stock Banner

I love Thanksgiving.  I really do.  We don’t do anything fancy for Thanksgiving; usually it’s just the six of us at home and I fix the big Thanksgiving meal and occasionally we even eat it in our jammies.  But what I really like is just a day devoted to being thankful.  WE HAVE SO MUCH TO BE THANKFUL FOR!!!
I was looking around on Pinterest  the other day, yesterday, today, right now…It’s so terribly amazing, I can’t seem to get enough.  Anyway, I came across these really cute banners.  I love them and thought they would be a great reminder every time we look at them.  So I thought I’d make one of my own.

First, I printed out the letters.  These were done with my printer on some scrapbook card stock.  I used the Comic Sans font set at 300.  Next I cut them into squares (or close to it) mine are 5in. x 4in.

Then I used a metallic gold stamp pad and gently rubbed it along the edges to give it an aged look.

My next step was to measure in 1/2 inch and use my hole punch and punch a hole on each side of the top of the cards.

Then I started “threading” them on to some ribbon from my amazing ribbon deal.  (I’m going to be using that a lot in the future!).

Finally, I figured out exactly where I was going to hang them and how long I wanted them to be and then tied a cute little bow at the top to finish it off.

Today, I am giving thanks for all of you, my readers.
