What better way to enjoy a snowy day?  Amy Tollner creates a cozy scene for her little lady and her felines. She combines A Cozy Day In stamp set and the Cozy Home Stamp and die set on her 5x7 card base. She creates her layers using the A7 Frames and Banners die set. The snowy background is paper from the Christmas Time paper pad. The Frames & Flags die set was used for sentiment banner. Anyone else want to curl up and enjoy a good book?

Claire Lamb's trio of penguins are staying warm in their scarves and hats while playing on a snowy, winter day. These sweet critters are from the Penguin Pile stamp and coordinating Dies. She adds some falling snowflakes on her distressed background using the Snow Angel Newton stamp set. 

So cute!

Crystal Minkler creates a fabulous living room scene!  She combines the Sips & Stories stamp set with the Fireside Friends stamp set. She frames her sentiment and hangs it on the pawprint wall (A Cat's Life paper pad). The scallop-edged panel was created using the the Frames & Flags die set. Love this cozy scene!

Danni Bindel uses the napping feline from the Newton's Naptime stamp set and coordinating die set. This furry friend has the right idea all curled up on a pile of blankets.  To complete her card, Dannie pulls coordinating paper from the A Cat's Life paper pad. The Frames & Flags die set was used to make the scallop-edging on the main panel.  Sweet dreams!

Debbie Owens' pile of cats is a purr-fect way to stay warm and cozy. These sweet furballs are from the Never Enough Cats stamp set. She uses the scallop-edged frame die from the A7 Frames and Banners Die Set to create her center panel. Such a fun way to spend a snowy day!

Here'a a refresher.

Create a project using the theme--Cozy Winter.

Today I'm sharing some more inspiration for our current challenge! 

Amy Tollner shows us how to spend a wintry day--snuggled up reading a book!  Set on a teal base die cut using the scallop-edged frame die from the Frames & Flags die set, she adds a window frame with a winter scene outside. The snow is made using the Petite Snow stencil. The hilly ground uses the Land Borders die set, and the trees were made using the Forest Scene Builder die set. Inside away from the chilly elements is the image from the A Cozy Day stamp set shaded in soft pastel hues. Don't you just want to curl up in that chair too?  

Becky Noelle creates a snowy card by using the Snowfall stencil for her falling snow.  She then adds lots of snow people from the Frozen Friends stamp set. She shades each scarf in a color of the rainbow, and the effect is spectacular! 

 Debbie Owens begins with a teal plaid paper die cut using the postage-edged die from the Framework die set. She then adds a wood grain paper die cut using the rounded-corner die from 

Frames Squared die set. She uses the image from Fireside Friends stamp set.  Don't her critters on the teal throw rug look sweet as they soak up the heat?  She adds a jute twine bow to add a bit of country charm.  

Diane Morales goes with a pink and teal color scheme that is so cheery and bright!  Using the Frames Squared die set, she creates her square base.  She adds some hilly terrain using the Land Borders die set.  Her trio of kitties all cozy on their sled from the Newton's Toboggan stamp and die set are all set for some wintry fun!  The little pink banner was die cut using a die from the Frames & Flags die set. Cuteness!

Sue T.'s card is filled with mugs of hot chocolate--the perfect drink on a cold, wintry day!  Sue uses three mugs from the Cup of Cocoa stamp and die set. With the trio of squares aligned vertically, she adds a splattering of snowflakes.  The mugs are popped up with foam tape to add a nice dimension to this savory card!

She uses the Frames Squared die set to create the scallop-edged frame. Oh what fun!
