TGIF with The Greetery! Winter Thank You Card!

Hey friends! TGIF! TGIF means Thank God It's Friday....but it also means The Greetery Inspiration Friday! I'm super happy to be sharing over on The Greetery Official Blog today! Woot! I'm also sharing here on my blog because, well sharing is caring! CLICK HERE to visit The Greetery Blog to see all the fun inspiration from Betsy and the rest of our team. You will not be disappointed. I guarantee that! Every Friday there will be a new project to inspire you to use your beautiful The Greetery stamps, dies and stencils. 

Today I'm sharing a pretty thank you card and I'm calling it - Winter Garden. This time of year I always need thank you cards. For Christmas presents, for parties I was invited to, for business associates. So I like to stretch my Christmas stamps and dies in new ways to carry on into Winter months by making thank yous. I thought it might be pretty to use the beautiful Pine Bough Botanicuts Dies together with the innovative and pretty Terrarium Die and create a Winter Garden.

 

That Terrarium die is SO pretty! I die cut it from Gold shimmer cardstock from my stash. I combined lots of textures on this card - I love the contrast between the woodgrain paper and the vellum and the gold. I used shades of Winter for this project: Icy blue, sparkling bright white, warm brown and all shades of green. I really love to combine textures on my cards and that's what I did here. Twine and enamel dots as accents add even more texture.

 

I die cut the pine leaves from watercolor paper and used small sponge daubers and Distress Inks to add shades of greens. Once the ink was dry, I splattered lots of white paint to look like snow. The background of the terrarium was also ink blended with Distress Ink. 

 

 

 

I used the little tag from the Sentiment Suites Basics to add a design element to the top of the card. The words are from the Christmas Caravan stamp set. I used Stazon Ink to stamp the gorgeous thank you sentiment onto a strip of vellum.

Your card is beautiful! I really appreciate ideas for using supplies beyond their original selling point. Could you tell me about the lovely woodgrain paper? Is it made using an embossing folder?
Thanks so much. I really enjoy your card creations!

Love this so much...I used the Botanicuts for most of my Christmas cards this year. I am up to my eyeballs with The Greetery today. My order came yesterday with loads of goodies from the January release. I am definitely smitten with The Greetery, Betsy is so amazing. Thanks for this one, you have given me yet another idea...

An awesome winter thank you card - a great idea to use the pine in the terrarium!
