Woo hoo!!  I’m loving the way this banner turned out.  Remember when I turned that pumpkin into a vase?  You can see that here.  Here are some more pumpkin crafts: How to decoupage a craft pumpkin and here’s a Thanksgiving pumpkin decorated with vinyl.  Ok, enough about pumpkins. 😉

Here’s how I made the Cricut Thanksgiving Banner

I used the 3Birds on Parade Cricut cartridge for all of the leaves.  I cut them out using American Crafts foil cardstock.  I love that stuff!  It cuts out really well and adds to the look of a lot of things.  I used my Gypsy to help me lay out as many leaves as I could on one sheet of cardstock.  Next, I took the leaves and ran them through my Cuttlebug using the Birds & Swirls folder.

I used the Cursive 101 Cricut cartridge for this rounded edge rectangle.  I thought it would make a great center for the lettering I had to apply.  Next, I cut out frames from the Live Simply Cricut Lite cart.

Here I’ve gotten everything cut out and am beginning the assembly of each letter and frame.  All lettering is from the Winter Woodland cartridge.

I decided to use my Xyron 510 Creative Station (here’s the newer model Xyron Creative Station) to quickly put adhesive on all the letters.  I stuck down the shadow and then added the top lettering layer.

Almost done!!  I love how well the foil cardstock embossed.  Here you can see that I did make a bit of a shadowed backing for the leaves.  I thought they might need a bit more stability plus the back of the foil cardstock was white…boring!  Not that the brown I used is terribly exciting, but as you may know…um…I heart brown.

I used my Crop a Dile to punch holes in all of the pieces so I could thread the ribbon through everything.

Here’s a crop a dile how to video if you need it!

    Hey Joy, I received my gifts, I love your puns and glue. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Not to mention, but it is so much more fun opening your packages than bills :) Your banner is absolutely beautiful. I was wondering if you can tell me what is going on with the gypsy update. I sat on the phone for 45 min this morning. Time I do not have to waste, and then my bf who I joke around with and call you my new bf said, "well go ask your bf" so I laughed and said "that is a great idea" lol I have been trying to update my gypsy and I am not having any luck. Please help!!!!!!!

      Joyfill, YAY! I'm glad you got your winnings! You're so welcome and congrats again. :) IDK what is going on with the Gypsy update ... sorry to say! I suggest trying again today. :| Maybe? Hmmm. When I did my update during the Beta, I had to try 3 times to get it to update. After each of my tries, I turned the Gypsy off completely and back on. Finally, it worked. IDK if it was some kind of Gypsy magic, luck or that it finally just worked. So, I'm thinking that your BF can retain her title since I can't really fix this for you. LOL! Now you're going to want to throw things at me as I suggest that you...um...call Cricut. :P Sorry! Tell your BF that your BF says, HI! LOL! ~Joy~
