I think this Frames & Flowers Grateful For You Card is one of those cards that you could use for a Thanksgiving card, or any time, really. The card has fallish colors, somewhat colored leaves, and an appropriate greeting for the season of gratitude and thanksgiving.
The card base is Garden Green with a layer of Pumpkin Pie cardstock to bring out the orange colors in the leaves and to make the whole card look like it is made for fall. The layer on top of the Pumpkin Pie is a frame in the Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper. The center just punched out of the frame. I chose to put a small piece of Basic White cardstock behind the frame. Then I chose a flower in the ephemera pieces that would look good in the cneter of that open frame. It is popped up on Stampin’ Dimensionals.
The greeting is in the Layers of Beauty Stamp Set. I think it can go for a regular card or this Thanksgiving card. It is stamped in Memento Black ink on Basic White cardstock. I cut it out with one of the Nested Essentials Dies. I then cut out another piece the same size in Garden Green and cut it in half horizontally and adhered the two pieces to the top and bottom of the stamped greeting. I adhered it flat to the card in case I wanted to put a gem that would stick up very much on the ends of the greeting.
For the embellishment, I chose some sequins in the Adhesive-Backed Shiny Sequins. These sequins come in Lemon Lime Twist, Lemon Lolly, Melon Mambo, and Pumpkin Pie colors. I used two Pumpkin Pie Sequins on the ends of the greeting and three Lemon Lime Twist sequins up by the flower.
When you want to make a card and have fun, use this Frames & Flowers Specialty Designer Series Paper or any of the ephemera packs that Stampin’ Up! now sells! The Frames & Flowers should be back in stock next week.
