I absolutely love these cosy cards Julia and the way you've given them such a different feel by changing the colours. I'm such a huge fan of The Greetery products and really hope they'll be available in the UK at some stage! Vicky x

Both cards are gorgeous, Julia! I love them! The cozy cup coasters make a wonderful backdrop for the beautiful pine boughs. The black and white card is unique and a hint of soft colors look really elegant.
