Cute Turkey Cards Using Kid’s Artwork

It’s almost Thanksgiving can you believe it?! I managed to sneak in one more craft before the big gathering and I thought I would share it here before it’s too late!

Last weekend, Miss E and I did a little crafting together and made these Cute Turkey Cards for all the grandparents and other family members. Even though Miss E is still a little too young to make them completely by herself, I was able to incorporate her beautiful paintings into the design so there is still a part of her in them.

Here are easy and fun Thanksgiving Cards Using Kid’s Artwork.

Miss E has really been into painting lately and I’ve accumulated a stack of artwork over the past few weeks. I’m actually pretty impressed with what she can do at just 20 months! I knew I wanted to make Thanksgiving Cards with her this year but I also knew only so much is possible with someone under 2, so I decided to incorporate her artwork into my card design!

I used my Silhouette Cameo to cut out each piece of the Turkey, using part of this design here by Samantha Walker.

I love how each Turkey is a little different. And if you are wondering, I kept the eye’s off on purpose. Every time I tried to add the eyes they kept looking too ‘cartoon’ to me, and I really liked the simple silhouette of the turkey. I know, that might be a different but I went with it :)

I finished the cards off with some orange and white baker’s twine and a Give Thanks cut-out found here.

    Those are so cute. I love that you combined your daughter’s artwork with yours. I don’t think grandparents or parents ever get tired of receiving their kids’ creations, no matter the age! Not to mention the design itself is inspired. Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Almost everything in here was either brought from our Washington home 3 years ago or bought second hand! Piece by piece this room has become a cozy space for our family over the last 3 years. The new stairs are staying and will work into the new design, I love them so much.

Any time we have guests over, or our whole family wants to hang out together, it always feels like we could use a few more seats to spread out and get comfy.

The leather is soft and high quality, they are wide and comfortable and the brass accents are chef’s kiss. They are perfection.
