Supplies:

Plain greeting cards (my favorite is white or cream)

Brown, burgundy and white craft paper

Give Thanks and pilgrim stamps
Glue stick
Brown, yellow, green and orange markers or colored pencils
3-4 strips of raffia or ribbon
Black ink pad
Paper Trimmer or Scissors

Instructions:

1. Start by covering the front of your cards with brown craft paper. Adhere paper to card with glue stick. Cut a rectangle out of the burgundy cardstock approximately an inch smaller (on each side) than the brown cardstock. Adhere burgundy rectangle to front of card.

2. Next, cut a 1" strip, the horizontal length of your card from the scrap paper. I used white in the examples above.

3. Stamp "Give Thanks" and pilgrim stamps on the white cardstock strip that you just cut using the image above as a guide. Color in the stamps using markers or colored pencils. Adhere strip to card.

4. Cut raffia into several strips the width of the card. Tie them together in the middle with a piece of raffia. Adhere to the top of the card using a glue stick, hot glue gun or glue zots.

5. Add an extra touch by putting a stamped design on the seal of the envelope.
