Challenge Reminder: Warm and Cozy
by Jennifer Harte

Hello Friends! This is a friendly reminder that there’s still time to join the Poppystamps monthly challenge. This month’s theme is “Warm and Cozy,” making it the perfect opportunity to create something cozy and festive.

As the weather turns cooler and we begin looking forward to the holiday season, I can’t think of a more fitting theme. For my card, I chose to use the new Winter Wrap Penguin and paired him with the adorable Nordic Bundled Snowman from last year. After all, what says “warm and cozy” better than a snowman and penguins bundled up in pretty scarves and hats.

For the background, I blended shades of purple, pink and blue and spattered it with water. I think I created a perfect “chilly” background for the winter scene. I love the snowman from last year’s holiday release, so decided to include him in my card. 

The Winter Wrap Penguin is easy to assemble. I used some black glossy cardstock for the body. To add a little extra festive touch, I trimmed the hat with some fluffy fur. On the second Winter Wrap Penguin, I mixed things up a bit and used the winter cap from the Ski Penguin. I die cut the sentiment “Warm Wishes” from the new Warm Wishes Fluffy Script die and backed it with some vellum.
