Looking to brighten someone’s day? Why not say “Congrats” on your new home with a colorful and fun cozy scene card!
A new home is an exciting milestone that warrants a note of congratulations. Our featured card today brings a modern mid-century design to the living room design, incorporating a beautiful color combination to complete the vibe. We not only love the cozy scene, but the fun background design. Let’s see how Marla created this card.
- Using our 36058 Watercolor Poppies Stamp create a 4.25″ x 5.5″ background with the poppy stamp in Amaretto, Serene, Whisper and Basil ink. Pro tip: Stamp off the edge of the panel and change the direction of the stamp.
- Using the largest die from our 5013D Nested Rectangle Small Stitch Die cut the panel to add stitching.
- Using our 5011D Nested Square Small Stitch Die cut a square out of the panel. Set the square aside to use on another card.
- Add dimensional foam tape to the back of the panel.
- Add texture to a white A2 card panel using Sierra ink and our 4111 Leaf Stencil. Use a light hand when blending the ink.
- Using white cardstock and our 5729-04D Cozy Corner Die cut out the cats, table, lampshade, plant and lamp trim and chair legs.
- Cut the chair and pillows using the same die using patterned paper found in our Spring Floral Paper Pad.
- Cut the lamp base from kraft cardstock.
- Color your images in the medium of your choice and assemble.
- Cut the sentiment four times using our 5749-03D Congrats Die.
- Use a blending brush to add color to the sentiment. Marla used: Amaretto, Basil, Serene and Whisper ink
