Planner Girl Wintery Thank You

Cold Outside by Unity Stamp Company
Yes!! It's another Winter theme thank you card!!  How blessed am I that I have SO MANY PEOPLE TO THANK!!

I admit though, I am especially loving that I get to make Winter theme cards without making them all Christmas cards.  It gives me so much more opportunity to use my wonderfully "chilly" or "cozy" stamps!!

This wonderful little gal is from the Unity Stamp Company's collection called Planner Gals .  I just think they are so pretty, which makes them lots of fun to stamp
& color!!

The snowflake square is from a fun set by Spellbinders called Snowflake Snippets.  I cut it from a shimmery blue cardstock and embossed the sentiment with white since the only other white was the fussy cut edge.  I thought it pulled it all together!

I left a major portion of the card blank ~ I just really liked the proportionality of it.  I also used a solid dark cardstock because any background pattern seemed to pull attention away from the 3 elements I liked so much, the girl, the snow and the sentiment!!

Hope Your January is going wonderfully 😊  Stay  warm my friends 💜

A Cup of WarmThanks



Two of my favorite elements ~ embossed plastic and the galaxy background!! 
I was really excited to see how this combination would turn out
& I love it!!! 
I used the wonderful, steamy, sweater wrapped mug from Unity Stamp Company's KOM 9/15 Our Hearts to Yours with one of their many great sentiments stamped on vellum.  
Admittedly, I wanted to keep the card front clean so I could most enjoy my new layering idea!!!  I water colored and fussy cut the image & embossed the sentiment onto vellum.  I also tried it on paper to see how I'd like it but I felt it was too "heavy".  I did wind up fussy cutting the paper sentiment though and adding it to the back of the vellum for more of a color pop.


If you like the look of this combination it is easy to achieve.  The plastic is recycled product packaging that has been embossed just like you would paper!  It's  attached it to the background using small eyelets!!  That eliminates the problem of visible adhesive and looks great!!

Stay Cozy my friend & have a  great new year!
