Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Week - Day 1 - Amy Tsuruta

Deck the Halls with Inky Paws - Newton's Nook Designs

Welcome to day one of our Deck the Halls with Inky Paws week! 

Each day this week we will have a new awesome featured guest and then a BIG blog hop on Friday, December 8th (with some give-aways, of course!) So make sure you come back and visit us every day!


Today's Featured guest is
Amy Tsuruta


Hello!  My name is Amy Tsuruta and I've been blogging at Tsuruta Designs since 2007. I live in the beautiful state of Washington and work part-time for a Seattle biotech company.  If you know me, I love coffee, crafting + the color green. So excited to be part of the 2017 Deck the Halls with Inky Paws!





Here's what Amy created!

Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Week - Amy Tsuruta | Starbucks Gift Card holders using Cup of Cocoa Stamp set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade

Amy created a whole set of beautiful gift card holders today featuring our Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set and Holiday Foliage Stencil! She created gorgeous background panels by inking the Holiday Foliage Stencil over some newsprint paper in brown for one set of cards and in black for the other set (perfect coffee and cocoa colors). Then she layered vellum envelopes over the top to hold some Starbucks gift cards! She dressed up the envelopes using some of the cute mugs from the Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set. She colored the mugs in fun shades of red and green and trimmed them out with the coordinating Cup of Cocoa Die Set to add them to her cards. The fun cocoa themed sentiments are also from the Cup of Cocoa Stamp Set and add the perfect finishing touch!

Which color combo do you like better? The black stenciled background with the green mugs?

Or the brown stenciled background with the red mugs? I can't decide because both look so great!
