Thanksgiving Cards to Make | Gina K Thankful & Blessed

For today’s project, I chose Design Layout # 11 from my Design Layouts card classes. I’m featuring the Gina K Designs Thankful and Blessed Stamps & Dies along with the Autumn Splendor 6″ x 6″ Paper Pack. This is a beautiful collection of warm fall patterns that work perfectly for Thanksgiving cards to make. I selected one of the patterned papers and die-cut it using the largest A2 Additional Piercing Die from Waffle Flower. This creates a clean, pierced background layer for my card base.

Thanksgiving Card Front Design

Next, I embossed a piece of Kraft cardstock using the Spellbinders Oak Forest 3D Embossing Folder. This folder features a stunning pattern of oak leaves and acorns. It adds rich dimension and natural texture to the background. This is perfect for any autumn or Thanksgiving design. For the two front panels, I layered 1 1/8″ x 4 1/8″ strips of patterned paper onto 1 1/4″ x 4 1/8″ coordinating green cardstock. These layers add balance and depth while pulling together the warm tones of the project.

For the focal point, I die-cut a 2″ circle using Gina K Designs Master Layouts 3. I stamped several leaf images from the Thankful and Blessed Stamp Set and colored them with Ohuhu Markers. I blended shades of gold, orange, and green for a soft fall glow. To complete the card, I added my die-cut leaves and stamped sentiment. This layout is one of my favorites for Thanksgiving cards to make. It combines texture, color, and timeless autumn details into a heartfelt handmade card.
