Flourished Phrases Thanksgiving with Wanda

Hi there my creative and crafty friends! It’s Wanda here on The Greetery Blog today to share a project with you! I am always so excited and happy to share with you. How much did you love the August new release? Gosh – it was so pretty! And I absolutely love Autumn…. For my project today, I am continuing the Fall theme with warm colors and touches of gold. My card features the new Flourished Phrases – Thanks – stamps/stencils/dies. I’m getting a jump on Thanksgiving cards!

My finished card is a cream A2 card base. I started by stenciling the Airmail Border in yellow and brown inks to make the base layer for my card. Next I die cut a cream postal panel – keeping it clean and elegant. 

I stenciled the Flourished Phrases “Thanks” word in orange, brown and yellow – because those colors say Thanksgiving to me. I splattered on some gold paint too! I die cut the Thanks out with the matching Flourished Phrases Thanks die. I die cut a second piece using gold cardstock and layered them for just a touch of a gold shadow. 

Next I die cut some pumpkins and corn stalks using the Autumn Harvest Dies. I gently inked the edges of those pieces to add a bit of contrast. I stamped Happy and Giving around the Thanks word to spell out Happy Thanksgiving! It’s perfect!

I assembled the card using foam tape to add layers and depth. I finished by adding just a few dark orange gems. 

That’s it for my project for today! I hope you have a fantastic and creative day! I look forward to sharing with you again soon. In the meantime, happy crafting! XO Wanda
