This Textured Floral Book Fold Thanksgiving Card is a Thanksgiving card you can make without turkeys, pumpkins, or Pilgrims. Just use some fall colors of flowers and paper and add an appropriate greeting.
This card is made in the Book Fold design. That means there is an extra score line on the front of the card which makes it look like a book when you open the card. Cut the paper at 4 1/4″ x 11″. Score at 4 1/4″ and at 5 1/2″. Crease and fold the score lines. Decide how you want to do the book fold. You can apply adhesive in that small area in between the fold and the score line on the front of the card. Or, if you don’t want to use adhesive, you could punch two holes in that side by the fold and tie ribbon through there to have a bow on the side of the card.
This card has a card base of Mossy Meadow cardstock. For designer paper, I used the Season of Green & Gold Specialty Designer Series Paper for layers on the card front. For the right side of the card, cut the designer series paper at 4″ x 4″. For the little side piece, cut the designer paper at 1″ x 4″.
For the main image of the card, I used a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock cut at 3″ x 3″ layered on a piece of Pumpkin Pie cardstock cut at 3 1/4″ x 3 1/4″. The flowers are stamped from the Textured Floral Stamp Set. One large flower is stamped in Pumpkin Pie ink, the other in Crushed Curry ink with a little Pumpkin Pie ink sponged on with Sponge Daubers. The little flower is stamped with Crushed Curry ink. The leaves are stamped in Old Olive ink and Garden Green ink. The flowers and leaves are diecut with the Textured Floral Dies.
The greeting is in the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set and stamped in Garden Green ink. It is diecut with a die in the Countryside Corners Dies. I made it smaller to fit on the card better by running it through the machine a second time after moving the die where I wanted it to end.
Two of the flowers and the greeting are popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals. I added some Gold Textured Dots for some sparkle. On the inside of the card I added a piece of Very Vanilla cardstock, something lighter to stamp or write a message. Since I had an extra flower and leaf that I didn’t use, I adhered that inside the card for a little decoration.
You can send this card for Thanksgiving or for any other occasion with this beautiful floral stamp set. Try the Book Fold for something a little different.
