Step 1: Upload the Thanksgiving Card SVG to Cricut Design Space

Upload the Thanksgiving card SVG to Cricut Design Space. If you need help with uploading SVG files, then check out my tutorial here. Make sure to check the size of your project and adjust if needed. Click on the image (while everything is grouped together) and the width should be 31.54″ and the height 13.78″.

After resizing your project (if needed), click on “ungroup” to ungroup your layers.

Step 2: Choose the Designs

You don’t need to cut everything out in the file. Decide which gift card holder you want and delete the other. If you don’t want a gift card holder, then delete both.

Next, delete either the turkey or pumpkin because you’ll only need one of these for each card. If you want to make both, then make sure to duplicate the other layers so you have additional card pieces.

Choose either “Thankful” or “Happy Thanksgiving” and delete the phrase that you don’t want to use. You can also delete both and create your own text.

If you don’t want to make an envelope, then delete the envelope layers and the purple triangle pieces that go with it.

Step 3: Add and Attach Score Lines

The base of the card has a few score lines that you need to modify. Click on the arrow to open the layers in this group. Then click on the group of lines and change the operation from “Basic Cut” to Score.

Then, select the full group with the lines and card layer selected together and select “Attach”. If you do not attach this correctly then your Cricut will not score in the correct place.

Step 4: Adjust Pen Layers

If you want to write on the gift card holder with Cricut pens, then click on the text layer for this group and change the operation from “Basic Cut” to “Pen”. You will also need to change the line on the gift card holder to score, just as we did before. Then select the gift card holder layer, pen layer and score lines together and select “Attach”.

If you want to use the envelope, make sure to change the black rectangle on top to score lines and attach them to the envelope just as we have already done.

Step 5: Cut Everything Out

Once all your modifications are made, select “Make It” to cut everything out. If you are using a scoring tool or pens, make sure to follow the prompts in Cricut Design Space so that you know when to add those.

Step 6: Attach Decorative Elements to the Card

Lay the card flat. The cut lines will go down further on one side, this side is the front so lay this side in front of you. Glue down the decorative paper across the bottom. The top of this should line up with the top of the cut lines, if it doesn’t then flip your paper around.

Then glue the banner on top with the phrase “Thankful or Happy Thanksgiving”. Glue the other decorate pieces in-between the top score line and the score line below it. These pieces should fit perfectly in this space with a small border of the card showing around it.

For the turkey Thanksgiving card, glue the layered turkey feathers down, lining up with the decorative scrapbook paper. Do not add glue to the sides of the turkey feathers where they pass the cut lines.

Step 7: Fold on Score Lines

Fold the card on all of the score lines, almost alternating which way each score line goes (see image below). When the card is folded, it will easily lay down flat when you press it and stand up on it’s own.

Step 8: Attach the Wobble

Glue together the layered turkey or pumpkin design. Then add a self-adhesive wobble to the back. Attach the wobble to the front of your card.

Step 9: Add an Optional Gift Card Holder

If you want to add a gift card to this Thanksgiving card, then glue the gift card holder to the inside of the card. Just fold the 3 flaps in, add glue to them and then attach it to the card.

Step 10: Assemble the Envelope

The envelope is super easy to assemble. Just fold on all 4 of the score lines. Then glue the decorative paper in the center of each of the flaps, leaving a border around it. Attach the envelope by folding the 2 sides in and then gluing the bottom piece on top.
