Welcome to InKing Royalty’s November Blog Hop! This year’s Blog Hop themes are inspired by a single word – and this month our projects are centered around GRATEFUL. Thanksgiving is tomorrow, and we are grateful you’ve stopped by. We are excited to share our Thanksgiving-themed or grateful-centered projects with you! After you read my post, I hope you’ll hop over to the next person on the list at the base of this post.
I love the theme this month because I love saying Thank You. It’s so important and I try to do it often. I have so much in my life to be grateful for. Whenever I’m tempted to start up a pity party for one, I stop and take inventory of what I have to be grateful for and Boom! Party’s over!
This week I’m focusing on Paper Pumpkin by Stampin’ Up! These kits are absolutely wonderful. Having a subscription is like having a Christmas present arrive in the mail every month of the year! My Paper Pumkin kits help me Thank You all the time. And it’s quick and easy!
Today I’m sharing a few Thank You cards using materials from past Paper Pumpkin kits. Did I mention that crafting with these kits is fast, fun and easy?  I also love, love, love the fact that there are always extra items in the kit so I can use them to stretch my purchase dollars even further. Awesome.
So here are my cards made from leftovers of past kits. I simply added card stock and pearls – items I already have on hand and these 3 cards were done. Hope you like them.

Such a beautiful sentiment in your post, Sheryl – and such beautiful cards! I agree that “thank you” is so important and that it’s as important for the receiver of thanks as it is for the giver. I’m so glad you shared with us today. Happy Thanksgiving! ♥
Thank you Brian. I’m so grateful for you and the InKing Royal Family. Happy Thanksgiving!
Lovely cards. They are artistic, and all different. Everyone would appreciate receiving one of these cards. I have a list of thank you cards to make and send, so thanks for the inspiration. Happy Thanksgiving!
Thank you Linda! I’m glad you like them. and the kind words. Paper Pumpkin is a great tool for quick cards. Especially helpful this time of year. Happy Thanksgiving!
Sheryl! I love your cards. A great reminder to break open those red boxes and put those parts and pieces together. I’m so thankful for your inspiration! Xo
Hi Pam! Thank you. Yes, I love the ease of Paper Pumpkin. I’ve decided to try to make a contest with myself to see how many cards I can squeeze out of each monthly delivery. 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving!
These are beautiful! Love the embellishments you used, adds great touches.
Thank you Sheryl! I’m glad you liked them. Happy Thanksgiving!
Beautiful cards Sheryl. You have made such pretty alternatives and showed how great these kits are.
Thank you Lynn. I’m trying to get better at using all my Paper Pumpkin kits. I still have a few more to unearth. 🙂 Happy Thanksgiving!
Ooo! Love the cards. They are a great inspiration to bring out my Paper Pumpkins that were started and never finished. I’m always scrambling to make Thank You cards.
Thank you Donata! Yes, I’m on a mission to clear out my stash before the end of the year. I’ll see how it goes.
Happy Thanksgiving!
All 3 of these cards are so pretty! Using all the leftover pieces will definitely stretch your crafting money. Great job!
Thank you Sue. Yes – I love that there are so many extras left even when you complete the projects. Saving money and crafting. Woo hoo!!
