Hugs – Happy Birthday – Happy Thanksgiving card featuring Dearie Dolls free Happy Scarecrow digital stamp

My grandmother's birthday is coming up shortly and as the date is close to Thanksgiving, I've made her this card to wish her both a Happy Birthday and a Happy Thanksgiving. This super cute Happy Scarecrow digital stamp is a freebie from Dearie Dolls.

I thought it was the perfect match for the Big Hugs circular sentiment from Kim's Digital Stamps Twelve Round Greetings printable sentiment sheet. My paper is a mix of retired oldies, but goodies. The predominant paper is long retired Night Fall Harvest from American Crafts. I've had this paper for such a long time. It's perfect for Autumn and Thanksgiving projects (you can see where I've used it on another Thanksgiving card HERE). I think I had two large 30 x 30 cm sheets (that's 12 inches in American, ya'll) originally and now I'm down to the scraps. Honestly, I thought I was done with it until I was digging around in my paper file and found some bits of it. I was so pleased – 'Ah, treasure!'.

I've used a little washi tape in lieu of ribbon and like the look. Mental note – do this more often. Goodness knows I have a drawer full of languishing tapes ready to be used. Enamel dots give a bit of textured bling, but keep the look simple.
