Hey friends! This week we are teaming up with Simple Stories to bring you some awesome projects and prizes. Today I am sharing a layout and two cards created with the Cozy Christmas collection. The colors in this line are fabulous for holiday pages and cards. First up, this layout.

I started out with a sheet of patterned paper. I used a piece of 6×12 vellum to cover part of the pattern as I wanted it to be subtle. I used the Memory Tape Runner XL to adhere the vellum, it does a fabulous job and doesn’t show through.

3D foam squares are perfect to pop up your photos too. I added them to the back of one of mine for a bit of dimension.

3D Zots are great for popping up chipboard! I used a few of these to add some dimension to my Christmas tree piece.

Here are a few close-ups. I had such a fun time making this layout! I also added a bit of twine with my tiny stapler.

Next, I made a few cards. I used white cardstock for the base and added stitching, stickers and chipboard.
