Hi! I've been away too long…but I'm back with a Wintery card project for today's post! I have been off work for the past week and the DH and I have been doing lots of healthy and productive things…which is great…but isn't leaving me too much time in the stamp studio. Tonight I locked myself in and got inky! I was inspired from by this cool new paper I bought a few weeks ago.
The paper and main embellies are from the "Merry January" collection from We R Memory Keepers. This year I seem to be drawn to unique color combinations for Winter and Christmas. I'm loving all the new colors being incorporated into Winter. This line of papers have a cool antique vibe that caught my eye right away.
Here is my inspiration palette. Many times, when I get ready to make a card, I go around my studio and get everything together that I think matches and lay it all out on my table. Then I can play around with what I have in front of me. Does anyone else love Candace Olson? I always think of her with her basket of design elements…
The white snowflake is a cut out from Paper Source. I antiqued the edges with some distress ink and then put a sticker and a bling snowflake in the center.
I have to be honest that I don't know for sure where this sentiment is from. I think it might be from Unity Stamps?? LOVE it.

I love the plaid pattern you used on this card! The color combos give the card such a warm vintage cozy feel to it!
OMGoodness, Candace Olson! There’s another thing we share, my dear! I love, love, love Candace. 🙂 Wouldn’t you just die to have a room done by her?
Your card is fantastic. I really like that unusual color combo for winter, too. Always love a touch of brown, as that’s actually my favorite color. Love the snowflake and the stamped sentiment.
So glad you’ve had some time off to relax and have some time with the hubs. Sounds wonderful.
LOVE these colors! And thanks for the intro to Candace Olson. Love the way your card turned out!
Me again 🙂 I went to Google Candace Olson, and of course, I know who she is! Somehow I thought that she was making papercraft supplies! (note to self: read the post all the way through, dummy)
LOVE this card!!!!!!
I think that stamp is Unity. It looks like the free one they were giving on Paper Crafts magazine. Fabulous card.
