Creature Comforts October Blog Hop


Hello and welcome to my blog!

What a great theme for this time of year. It is Spring in the Southern Hemisphere where I reside and Autumn in the Northern Hemisphere. Great Seasons as they are not too hot and not too cold - perfect I think and perfect to get cosy and comfortable!




I love the Still Scenes Bundle in the Holiday Catalogue. Just the most gorgeous stamps. I love this particular stamp with the cute and cosy cottage. So I decided to create a Wintery Christmas card that may evoke thoughts of cosying up beside a warm open fire. One of the best creature comforts any time of the year.

I started with a Mossy meadow card base measuring 21cm x 14.8cm scored and folded in half. I glued another piece of Mossy Meadow measuring 14.4cm x 10cm to that. I then cut another piece of Mossy Meadow to 13.9cm x 9.5cm and embossed it with the Winter Knit 3D Embossing Folder. Then glued this on top of the other layers.

I stamped the cottage image on Whisper White card stock in Memento™Tuxedo Black. I cut it out using the coordinating die. I used the Shimmery Crystal Effects to create the effect of snow on the roof, the tree and the foreground and let it dry. Then I coloured in the cottage in Crumb Cake Stampin' Blends, The trees in Mossy Meadow Stampin' Blends and the foreground Gray Granite Stampin' Blends.

I die cut a stitched circle from the Vellum. I also cut a Stitched Nested Label in the Woodgrain from the Pressed Petals Designer Series Paper. 

I stamped the sentiment from the Itty Bitty Christmas in Versa Mark™on a scrap piece of Mossy Meadow card stock. Then sprinkled some White Stampin' Emboss Powder over the top and heated it with the heat tool. I punched it out with the Classic Label Punch.
To assemble I stuck the Cherry Cobbler Striped Ribbon down to the centre of the base using glue. I popped the Woodgrain Label on top of that using Dimensionals. Then I used Dimensionals to adhere the sentiment to the base of the vellum circle. Then placed the cottage image on top of that with Dimensionals. Then glued that to the woodgrain nested label. And your card is done!
