I have used Butterfly Harvest from A Day for Daisies. I don't usually think of butterflies when I think of Thanksgiving, but I loved this stamp! I colored the stamp with Copics. The card base was cut using a Silhouette cut file. I just welded two shapes together to make the fold. I also removed the stitches from the back piece. =P
I decided I wanted to add the small tag and I really wanted the tag to say "thankful". With all of the stamps I own, do you think I had a small thankful stamp?! Of course not! But obviously I did stamp thankful on that tag, so how did I do it?! The word "thankful" came from a larger stamp from a Stampin' Up! stamp set called Lots of Thanks. It was the perfect size and the perfect font. I actually cut the word from the rest of the phrase and stamped it by itself. I can easily pop the word back into the rest of the stamp. I did a test run and you can't tell the difference. I got the idea from a tutorial I saw ages ago, but never tried it until now. I will say I was holding my breath until I tested the stamp. I love being able to make my stamps even more versatile!
