Coffee, Books, Thanks.

Hello! Today I have a set of thank you cards for friends that supported a book party I hosted for my granddaughter. 
I have a confession. I am awful at getting things mailed. I make, set aside, and make something else. Sometimes that works out in my favor. A few of you reading this will find these in your mailbox sooner or later. 😖 

This set was made using the Small Details background stamp, Chapter One and Love is in the Pages on the envelope. The pages of the book were gilded with gold flakes. The books were softly colored with watercolor. 'Thanks' was computer generated, then cut with my Scan-n-Cut. They were spritzed with homemade shimmer spray. I embossed the purple panel with a swirl design to tie in the steam from the coffee or teacup. 

Make sure to leave a comment before you go; freebies from Unity are up for grabs! 
Thanks for stopping by!

  6. Love the combination of stamps from several kits and the cheerful lavender! Your recipients will be thrilled I’m sure. I’m bad about mailing out cards too; one thing that helps me is to have addresses, stamps, envelopes, and pens all at the ready so I can pen a quick note when I’m done creating. It’s not fool proof though!

  16. Lovely set of cards. I too find that making cards is separate from actually sending them, but people appreciate them no matter when they are received.
