Yes, it may be a little early to think about Thanksgiving, but, you could easily swap out Happy Thanksgiving and make this fun Scallop card with any paper, any stamps and any greeting!

I wanted to use my new Thanks & Giving stamp set from Stampin’ Up! so I paired it with some pretty fall paper from the Sunflower Fields designer paper pack, along with the coordinating Radiant Sunflower stamps and dies.

Large Scallop Thanksgiving Card details:

As I shared last week in my new product Unboxing video, I love the new Scallop dies, but the largest one barely fits on a card front (it’s the same size as an A2 card!). So, I was inspired to use the dies this way and to make this card after seeing a similar idea by Sherry Roth. I love the idea of using the largest scallop as the front and back of the card, with a Z fold in the middle!!

Handmade card with scalloped, kraft brown edges, a red plaid panel, and a bouquet of orange and yellow flowers. A banner reading “Happy Thanksgiving” is tied with twine and gold dots accent the card. “Patty Bennett PattyStamps.com” is printed at the bottom right.

Above: I have always loved the retired Courage & Faith set, and will never let it go. I thought it was a perfect fit on the white layer for the center panel of my card. I also used this set quite a bit in my Gratitude Journal.
