Warm Cozy Wishes

This card is full of cozy winter vibes, starring the sweet little reindeer from the Tinsel Antics stamp. I absolutely love how the rustic papers and soft green plaid come together for that perfect, homey Christmas feel. The reindeer in his little red scarf adds a warm, playful touch, making it the star of the show!

What Makes This Card Special:

• Copic Coloring: The reindeer image is super easy to color! I used Copics R29 for the scarf, C1 for shading, and E31 and E57 for the fur to create a soft, textured look. You can make this image come to life in no time!
• Tab Fold Die: The Tab Fold die is a brilliant way to add an interactive touch to your card. Simply pull the tab to reveal the hidden gift card inside! With all the coordinating dies in the set, layering and cutting are effortless, making assembly quick and easy. It’s a lovely way to incorporate both a card and a gift.
• Tucked Tab Closure: For an extra fun feature, the tab tucks behind the reindeer panel on the front of the card. While not necessary to secure the tab, it adds a playful and charming closure that feels both functional and whimsical.
• Twine Accent: A little bow of twine ties it all together, giving the card a bit of dimension and texture without overwhelming the clean design.

Inside, there’s a special surprise—a gift card pocket with “Holiday Cheer” stamped alongside, making it practical yet festive. This design is simple yet so thoughtful, ideal for adding that handmade charm to your holiday gifts.
