Grateful for You

Welcome back to my blog! This cozy Thanksgiving card brings all the warmth of a crisp autumn afternoon straight to your mailbox. This design layers rich textures and gorgeous metallic details for a perfect holiday look.

For this design, I wanted a color scheme that captures the essence of fall. I paired Very Vanilla, Golden Glow, and Cajun Craze cardstocks to establish a comforting, elegant tone.

The background layer features Golden Glow cardstock run through the Softly Woven embossing folder, giving it an incredibly rich, fabric-like texture. Behind my main focal element, a stitched circle cut with the Stylish Shapes dies spotlights a classic plaid pattern from the Sunflower Fields Designer Series Paper.

The real showstoppers on this card are the beautiful, copper foiled layered leaves. Using the incredible Lustrous Leaves Hot Foil dies along with the hot foiling system, these leaves have a stunning, elegant shimmer. I used a small blending brush and inked them with warm autumn shades of Golden Glow, Cajun Craze, and Old Olive inks.

To build the accent cluster, I nestled the foiled leaves together and added a rustic bow from the Neutrals Jute Combo Pack. Dew Drops embellishments colored perfectly to match using a Cajun Craze Stampin’ Blends alcohol marker complete my card.

To tie the whole card layout together, the “Grateful For You” sentiment from the Soiree Salutations stamp set was stamped with Cajun Craze ink and popped out using the Tree Banner punch.
