This month’s fun fold is a Thanksgiving card, which we celebrate in two days. No worries if you don’t have time to make it, because the card base can be decorated for any occasion. 

Thanksgiving Fun Fold

I began with Thick Basic White Cardstock, 8 1/2″ X 11″, cut in half, 4 1/4″ X 11″. One half was scored: 2″, 3 3/4″, 7 1/4″, and 9″. The other half was cut 4 1/4″ X 4″ and 4 1/4″ X 5 1/2″, with one piece remaining for the sentiment on the front.

First, I decided the front would be leaves, colored with five colors of Ink: Crushed Curry, Granny Apple Green, Garden Green, Old Olive, and Cajun Craze. Using a stencil I cut from Vellum, with a Happy Hibiscus Die, I colored Basic White Cardstock, 3 3/4″ X 4″. This was glued to the Thick Basic White cardstock, 4″ X 4 1/4″.

 Second, I cut two pieces of dotted, Iconic Celebrations Designer Paper, 3/4″ X 4″. These were glued to the ends of Thick Basic White Cardstock, 5 1/2″ X 4 1/4″. By gluing these first, it helped center the long, scored piece, which I glued in place. 

Next, I glued a third piece of dotted, Iconic Celebrations, 1 3/4″ X 4″, to the left side of the front fold. And, the trickiest part, I glued the leaves to the right side of the front fold, so it overlapped the left side. It opens to reveal the center, where I added Splendid Autumn Designer Paper, where I stamped the sentiment in Cajun Craze Ink. “Happy” is from the Love This Moment Stamp Set, and “Thanksgiving” is from the Choose Happy Stamp Set.

“So thankful for you” is from the So Sincere Stamp Set. I stamped it in Cajun Craze Ink, used a Cheerful Daisies Die for cutting, and attached it with Dimensionals. The last step was adding Wild Wheat Rustic Striped Ribbon. It was secured on the back with Tear & Tape, and a knot tied in the front.
