Three adorable, clean and simple cards with one simple sweet stamp set? Yes please! These cozy cards are perfect to send holiday wishes, birthday greetings and more during the chilly winter season. Let's take a look at three ideas for the Cool Yule clear stamp set from Impression Obsession. This card features two stamped polar bears wearing scarves, and wearing ice skates. There is a swirly patterned paper sky behind them and the sentiment says Stay Cozy.
You might recognize the patterned paper on today's first card, because I also made a super cute penguin card that's similar to this one. You can find that one HERE. I love the way the swirly pattern (which was actually from a summer themed pack of paper) looks like snow swirling around. 

These adorable bears are so simple to work with because they don't need much coloring, and they are easy to fussy cut. I really had fun playing with them.
On the next card, I paper-pieced the bear's sweater from kraft cardstock. The strip of corrugated stock, and a soft twine bow add texture and because the colors are all neutral, it doesn't feel busy. The glittered washi tape gave this guy a sparkly spot to skate.

Last but certainly not least, today's third card features another way to stamp these cute bears. I initially thought of them as polar bears, but really they can be any kind of bear you want. Cut from kraft cardstock, these guys are just as adorable! I used colored pencils and a white pen to add color to the scarf and ice skates for colorful little details. (I love using my white gel pen on kraft cardstock!)
