Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Week - Day 3 - Dana Kirby

Welcome to day three 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 4th (with some give-aways, of course!) So make sure you come back and visit us every day!

Today's Featured guest is
Dana Kirby 

Hi crafty friends! My name is Dana Kirby and I am so excited to be a guest for Newton’s Nook. I love all things crafty and especially enjoy creating for the holidays. My husband and I are “empty-nesters” and enjoy traveling and cooking. I have been a scrapbooker for over 23 years and found my love for card making a little over ten years ago.


Here's what Dana created:

Dana is getting us in the mood for a snow day with her fun frosty card today! She created this fun and simple card featuring the snowman with a sign from our Snowman Greetings Stamp Set. This set is so fun because there are several sentiments included that fit on the sign. For her card, Dana added the "Let it Snow" sentiment. She colored the image in simple tones of red and blue, making the bird on top of the sign into a blue jay! She also added a few details with a white gel pen. The image was cut out using the coordinating Snowman Greetings Die Set. For her card base, she kept it simple and used an oval mask to add an oval of blue sky and snowflakes with our Petite Snow Stencil. What a great idea! 

This card is perfect for sending happy greetings to a friend or family member during the cold months of Winter!! Here is a close-up of the  coloring and markers that she used:

  1. Like how you colored the snowman image and like the idea of the oval snowflake background. I have made one card with the snowman and will use the oval background idea in mind for next one.
