Simple Stories Cozy Christmas

Well hello there!  Happy Holidays from me to you!  Just kidding!

It’s Lorrie here, and I wanted to share with you some fun projects I made with the new release by Simple Stories called “Cozy Christmas”.   I love, love, love to make handmade Christmas Cards and Holiday packaging and with the help of my Thermoweb Adhesives and this collection, I got a jump start on a few holiday projects.

The “Cozy Christmas” collection will get you in the Christmas mood just as soon as you take a look at it.  The delicious colors will instantly take you cold winter evenings, sitting by the lit Christmas tree, drinking hot cocoa while snuggled in a warm fuzzy blanket, at least that’s how we do winters here in Indiana.  This card was made by layering multiple pattern papers from the collection.  The handcut banners add to the “homemade” feel of the card.  The small woodgrain strips are attached using Thermoweb Sticky lines.  Sticky lines are perfect when you have thin strips to adhere without the mess of liquid glue.

For this card start by layering various pattern papers in varying sizes.  Use Thermoweb foam squares to add dimension to the chipboard ephemera and stickers.

The Cozy Christmas ephemera included this precut wooden snowflake background.  LOVE IT!.  I used Thermoweb Sticky Dot runner to adhere it to the card base and several Foam Squares to pop up the chipboard embellishments and stickers.

Here is a quick layout featuring lots of Cozy Christmas as Thermoweb Adhesives.  I started by layering the photo mat stack with the Sticky Dot Runner.  I popped up the actual photo with Foam Squares.  The word stickers made it super simple to add lots of fun color to the right of the photos.  The cute bow was cut on my Eclips die cutting machine.  I used Mini Glue Dots to assemble it and a bit of Super Tape to secure it to the layout.

I made this quick and easy gable box a perfect container for delivering Christmas Cookies, by simply adding some pattern papers, a ribbon and one of the 4×6 tags included in the paper collection.

That’s a wrap.  The Cozy Christmas Collection by Simple Stories has everything you need to start your Holiday Craft projects.  Don’t forget your Thermoweb Adhesives to keep it all neat and tidy!
