We’re back with our Stampin’ Up! weekly team blog hop for the Happy Stampers group!  This week we’ve got a sketch challenge to play along with.  I used the Cozy Christmas stamp set to create my card for the hop.

Here is the sketch that we’re using this week:

I started by adhering a panel from the Home for Christmas DSP to a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock with SNAIL, then to a Real Red card base with Stampin’ Dimensionals.

I adhered a wide panel from the Home for Christmas DSP to the card front with SNAIL, then carefully inked the sentiment from the Oh, What Fun photopolymer stamp set in Real Red and Mossy Meadow inks (since you can see through the stamp, this is fairly easy to do) and stamped it on a panel of Very Vanilla card stock.

I punched the sentiment out with the Decorative Label Punch and adhered three Decorative Label Punches from Real Red card stock to the back of the sentiment, each slid out about 1/8″ so that it layered.  I snipped off the top section of the layered punches and tucked it under the wide DSP panel, adhering it with SNAIL.

I stamped the Santa and house images from the Cozy Christmas stamp set in Mossy Meadow ink on a panel from the Home for Christmas DSP and I used my fine tip on my Hello Honey Stampin’ Write Marker to color the windows in the house.  I adhered the stamped panel to a panel of Mossy Meadow card stock, then to the card front with SNAIL.

I adhered one of the Snowflake Elements to the card front with a Glue Dot, then added an Iced Rhinestone Embellishment over it to finish the card front.

I stamped the sentiment from the Cozy Christmas stamp set in Real Red ink on a Very Vanilla panel, then I inked up the Santa and house images in Mossy Meadow ink, stamped them on scrap paper twice, then stamped them on the panel inside the card.
