Good Wednesday morning my stamping friends. How is everyone doing today? We’re halfway through the week and on our way to the weekend already. I’ve been busy getting my product shares cut up and packaged. I’m hoping to head over to the post office after work today to get them sent out to everyone.

Today’s card is for the inspiration challenge from The Card Concepts. The inspiration photo #223 is Cozy New Year. I used lots of layered on my card, since that is one of my favorite kinds of cards to make. If you’d like to see a quick video of how I made this card, Click Here to go to my Instagram Reels. Here’s my card for today.

I used the Stampin’ Up! Winter Scenes Stamp Set along with the Stampin’ Up! Snowflake Kisses Stamp Set, Country Woods Designer Series Paper, Birch Wood 3D Embossing Folder, Party Banner Dies and Stylish Shapes Dies for my card today. I was inspired by the colors for my clean and layered card today.

I hope you will take a moment to visit The Card Concepts and join us for our challenge 223.  How are you inspired by the photos?

Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to a Pecan Pie card base. Using the Party Banners Dies, cut the panel of Real Red Two-Tone cardstock. Emboss the banner using the Birch Wood EF, use a sanding block on the banner.

Wrap a piece of Linen Thread around the top of the banner and tie a bow. Adhere the banner to the card front with Stampin’ Dimensionals. Using the largest circle from the Stylish Shapes Dies, cut the panel of Basic White. Stamp the cabin image form the Winter Scenes stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the die cut circle. Stamp the sentiment from the Snowflake Kisses stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the top of the die cut circle. Mask the image with a sticky note and add Pool Party Ink using the Small Blending Brush.

Color the image using Pecan Pie and Real Red Stampin’ Blends Markers. Go over the snowy areas using the Wink of Stella Brush. Adhere the artwork to the banner using Stampin’ Dimensionals. Add a Streaked Dot to the card front.

Stamp the sentiment form the Snowflake Kisses stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the panel of Basic White. Stamp the cabin image from the Winter Scenes stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the bottom of the panel. Mask and color the image the same as for the card front. Adhere the Basic White panel to a Real Red mat then to the inside of the Pecan Pie card base.

Decorate a Basic White Medium Envelope to complete your card. Stamp the cabin image from the Winter Scenes stamp set in Secret Sea Ink on the envelope front. Mask and color the image the same as for the card front. Adhere a panel of Country Woods DSP to the envelope flap.

Thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you like the card and will give it a try. Happy Stamping!!
