Once the Christmas cards are mailed, a winter card that is not a holiday card fills January: a colored owl in a beanie on striped paper, one die cut panel, foam tape, done. This post shows that quick card from the Cozy Vibes Owl stamp set plus two gift tags made with the Penguin Hugs and You’re the Best Moose itty bitty stamps.
Andrea here with a quick card for the winter season. Moving from Christmas cards to winter cards the week before Christmas, anyone else?
The quick winter card
I chose my Copic colors based off my papers I was using. Love these delicious designs from the Rustic Christmas pack. I found the perfect green striped paper to back my image.
Here is my colored image. Now onto choosing my dies and I ended up with my current faves Big Scallop and rectangle dies. A must have.
I chose a basic layout to highlight my image and raised up the image panel using foam tape.
Two gift tags from the same pile of supplies
Here are some basic but sweet tags I also made for gifts on the big day.
I used grunge cuts tag dies and You’re the best Moose along with my Copics and blended some distress ink along the edges. This one’s for my future SIL Christmas gifts.
This tag is again using the Grunge cuts tag dies and Penguin hugs along with copic markers and some glitter. This ones for my oldest daughter’s gifts even though I said she was only getting cash. I couldn’t resist LOL.

*Big scallop and rectangles Die
I hope you found some inspiration here today and are enjoying the Holiday season.
Cheers, Andrea
Where to get the stamps
The owl says “Sending you all the cozy vibes”, “You warm my heart”, and “you are so wise”, all in the Cozy Vibes Owl stamp set. The tags use Penguin Hugs (“warm hugs”) and You’re the Best Moose (“you’re the best”), both itty bitty sets.
There is a sale every week at Unity, so if the timing is not right today, add the set to your wishlist and wait for it.

Questions cardmakers ask
What does the Cozy Vibes Owl stamp set say?
“Sending you all the cozy vibes”, “You warm my heart”, “you are so wise”, and a tiny “Hi!” Five stamps including the owl.
Is the owl a Christmas stamp?
No. There are no holiday words in the set, so the same card works from January through March as a thinking of you or encouragement card.
How big are the penguin and moose stamps?
Each image is about 1.5 by 1.5 inches, tag sized, with a short sentiment: “warm hugs” for the penguin and “you’re the best” for the moose.
