Thanksgiving cards are so easy and fun to make especially if you love to paint. This handmade card was painted by hand using acrylic paint except for the word “Thank You.” However, this card only takes about thirty or forty minutes to do mostly if you are painting really slow without the help of a stencil. Nonetheless, you can use a stencil or draw the pumpkin with a pencil. Here are the instructions for making this handmade thanksgiving pumpkin card.

Materials:

4 X 6 Photo Paper

Xerox Paper

4 different colors of Acrylic Paint (Orange) (Yellow) (White) (Green)

1 Black Sharpie Pen

Paintbrushes

Glue stick

Scissors

Glue xerox paper onto one side of the photo paper. Then, trim the edges with a pair of scissors. Glue another xerox paper onto the back side of the photo paper. After that trim, the edges with scissors. Fold the photo paper in half. Use one paint brush to paint one pumpkin on the center of the card. You can use a stencil to trace the pumpkin with a pencil or paint the pumpkin by hand.

Wait for the paint to dry. Use a second color of paint to paint the stem of the pumpkin. In this example, yellow was used to paint the stem of the pumpkin. Wait for the paint to dry. After that use green paint to paint the leaves on top of the pumpkin. Once again, wait for the paint to dry.

Last, use white acrylic paint to paint curvy white lines around the pumpkin and the stem. Wait for the paint to dry. Use one black sharpie pen to write the words “Thank You” on one side of the pumpkin. Wait for the paint to dry. On the back of the card, paint wavy lines all around the card. Then, paint polka dots around the card. Leave a blank space to write the words “Made by” and “Your Name.” After that you can write inside the card and use a standard envelope to mail your handmade pumpkin cards. This card idea can also be used for Halloween too. Have fun making these hand painted cards.
