There’s nothing better than
decorating our house for the holidays. It’s Bobbi here
and my family goes all out for the holidays. We put up four holiday trees and
each one has a theme. We fill the couch with festive pillows and add holiday
décor everywhere. It should be no surprise that I had fun decorating this
card’s 5″ X 7″ interior space, too. Today’s card features the new Cozy Christmas stamps and dies.
My card is one of those
unsuspecting cards where the outside is simple and clean and the inside is full
of festive fun. I used the chair, pillow, table, lamp, picture and cat on the
front, grounding all the elements with a simple gray, oval shadow at the
bottom. I stamped the phrase, “Be comfy and cozy” right below the sweet vignette
to finish the front.
Inside the card, I
created a holiday indoor scene using the furniture, holiday tree, presents, and animals from the set. I love the look of
buffalo plaid in the wintertime so I colored this rustic plaid design on the
couch and chair and added red pillows to dress them up.
To create the interior
scene, I used a pattern paper for a wallpapered wall background. It’s a simple
stripe from the Subtle Grey Tones 6″ X 6″ paper
pack. Because the pattern paper is only 6″ wide, I
added a 1/2″ strip on both sides to cover the full 7″ card width. I wanted it
to look like a warm and cozy cabin inside so I colored the strips to look like
natural stone pillars. I also created a warm-toned wood floor for the scene.
I
used the following Copic Sketch Marker colors:
Wood
floor: E57, E55, E43 and E42 Copic Sketch Markers and a black fine-tip marker
Stone
pillars: YR30, C7, C5, C3, C1, W7, W5, W3, W1, T3, T1 and 100
Buffalo
Plaid furniture and lamp: 100, C7, C5, C3, C1
Wood
furniture/picture: E59, E57, E55, R29
Christmas
tree: YG67, YG63, YG17, YG0
Kitty
and Bears: E55, E53, E50, R89, R29, R14, YG17, YG03
To finish the interior
space, I added a red rug to ground the furniture and warm up the floor. I also
made a wreath for the wall. To make the wreath I used the Autumn Tree dies and
cut the tiny leaves from green cardstock and glued them on the wall in a
circular shape. I hand colored some red berries and drew a string bow for the
wreath, too. The room is now warm, cozy and decorated for Christmas!

Hey
friends! Cathy here today with a little cozy cuteness to share! I just love all
the scene building elements in the Cozy Christmas Stamps and
this adorable little penguin looks right at home.
I
started by die-cutting the frame portion of the Frilly Frames Lattice Die from
gray cardstock and adhering it to a white A2 card base. For a little pop of red
around my scene, I die-cut the frame again from red cardstock and adhered the
scallop bits inside the gray frame. Next, I cut a piece of white cardstock 3
1/4” x 4 1/2". I cut a piece of patterned paper from the Sweater Weather Paper 1”
x 4 1/2", heat embossed the sentiment in white embossing powder and
adhered it to the bottom of the white cardstock. I cut a piece of patterned
paper 2 1/2” x 4 1/2" from the Subtle Grey Tones Paper and
adhered it to the top of the white cardstock slightly overlapping the paper
below.
For
the window in my scene, I stamped some trees from the Country Scenes Stamps on
Neenah 80lb Classic Crest solar white cardstock, colored it with Copics and cut
the piece to 1” square. I die-cut the window from the Sweet Treat House Add-on and
adhered the 1” square to the back. I also die-cut a bow from the Sweet Treat
House Add-on, colored it with Copics and adhered it to the top of the window
for a little extra Christmas cheer.
I
stamped all the images on Neenah 80lb Classic Crest solar white cardstock,
colored them with Copics and fussy cut them out. I combined stamps from
the Cozy Christmas Stamps, Penguin Party Stamps and
the Reindeer Games Stamps.
The Santa hat from the Reindeer Games Stamps fits the little kitty just
perfect!
To
finish it off, I die-cut the holly and berries from the Winter Greenery Dies,
colored them with Copics and adhered them to the top of the card.
I
hope you enjoyed and thanks for stopping by today! For more inspiration, please
