Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Week - Day 3 - Brenda Noelke

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 3rd (with some give-aways, of course!) So make sure you come back and visit us every day!


Today's Featured guest is

Brenda Noelke

Hello!! I'm Brenda Noelke and I blog over at mypapercutcreations. I am a small town girl from Union, MO. I have been married to my wonderful husband for almost 25 years and have two furbaby golden retrievers. I'm super excited to be a guest for Deck the Halls with Inky Paws this year!!


Brenda created TWO Amazing Holiday Cards Today:

Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Week - Holiday Card by Guest Designer Brenda Noelke | Holiday Home Stamp Set by Newton's Nook Designs #newtonsnook #handmade
Her first card features a cozy scene of two kids bringing home a Christmas tree! Isn't this so perfect for celebrating holiday traditions? She stamped the images of the kids along with the house and clusters of trees from our Holiday Home Stamp Set. She colored all the images in traditional holiday colors using gorgeous reds and greens and some neutral browns. She used the coordinating Holiday Home Die Set to cut the images out.

For her card base, she created a scene by inking in soft blues for the snow drifts and sky. She added the house along the top, nestling trees on each side. Then she placed the kids along the bottom so they are walking towards the home. So cute! She left room for the large sentiment, also from the Holiday Home Stamp Set to the right of the image. She also added some red to the letters of the sentiment too. And the extra special touch is bits of flock on the snowy areas of the house and tree!
For her second card, Brenda used our Snow Much Cheer Stamp Set to create a snowy card that is full of cheer!

This happy card uses the image of the snowman couple from our Snow Much Cheer Stamp Set. Just looking at those cute snow people makes you feel happy! She colored them in bright and happy shades of red and green, adding accents with a white gel pen. She used the Snow Much Cheer Die Set to cut the image out. She created a cute little scene for the snowy pair, adding a hill along the bottom and inking the sky in blue. Snowflakes from the Snow Much Cheer Stamp Set stamp set were embossed onto the sky and the sentiment was stamped below them.

This cute little scene was framed with a red scalloped frame that was die cut out using our Framework Die Set. Then she layered it over a fun plaid background that was created using a piece of paper from our Meowy Christmas Paper Pad. So fun!
