This cute and colorful card is made using my SVG and your Cricut, and it’s a super fun way to add some homemade love to your Thanksgiving celebration. Whether you’re sending it to friends, family, or using it as a place card at the dinner table, this little turkey is sure to bring big smiles!

🦃 Let’s Talk Turkey (and Supplies!):

To make this card, you’ll need:

• My Happy Thanksgiving Turkey Card SVG, Design #114 in our free library
• Your Cricut machine
• A variety of card stock (brown, red, orange, yellow, and any fall colors you love)
• Barely Arts Glue and foam dots
• Pens or markers for a personal message
• Optional: Fall-themed embellishments like tiny leaves, acorns, or glitter!

🍁 How to Make the Card:

• Upload the SVG into Cricut Design Space.
• Pick your color scheme! I like to go with classic fall shades—think warm reds, golden yellows, and burnt orange for the feathers, and a rich brown for the turkey’s body.
• Cut and layer the pieces using your Cricut. This is a layered design, so I love using foam dots between the layers for a fun 3D effect!
• Assemble your turkey and glue everything down to the card base. You can also add “Happy Thanksgiving” to the front using vinyl, pens, or a sticker—whatever feels right!
• Add extra touches like sparkly card stock, hand-drawn accents, or fall die-cuts.
• Personalize the inside with a thoughtful message. Use your Cricut to cut phrases or simply write a note by hand for that warm, personal touch.

🍂 Cute, Crafty, and Customizable

This card is great for Cricut beginners and seasoned crafters alike. The layers go together easily, and you can totally make it your own with different colors and embellishments. Want to add pumpkins in the background? Go for it. Love glitter? Same here. The possibilities are endless, and that’s part of the fun!

A Handmade Hug for Thanksgiving

Homemade cards are a gift from the heart, and this Happy Thanksgiving Turkey Card is no exception. Whether you mail it out or hand-deliver it with a slice of pie, it’s a lovely way to show your gratitude and spread some crafty cheer.

So pull out your Cricut, grab some fall-colored cardstock, and let’s make this Thanksgiving extra special. I’d love to see your turkey cards, so don’t forget to share your creations!

Happy crafting and Happy Thanksgiving!
