Hello, all!! Welcome to the Newtons’s Nook Deck the Halls with Inky Paws Blog Hop!! The hop is full of amazing inspiration from the design team and guest designers (that’s me!). I’m super grateful to be among this talented line-up of designers participating in the hop.

If you arrived here from Thi Lam’s blog you’re on the right track!! I’ll have a complete list of stops below.

Let’s get to my card, but be sure to read to the end for GIVEAWAY info!!

If you saw my featured guest post for Newton’s Nook on Wednesday, I made two cards. One with the Snow Much Cheer Stamp Set and one with the Holiday Home Stamp Set. I decided to combine them for my card today!!

I began by stamping the darling couple from the Snow Much Cheer Stamp Set onto white cardstock with Copic-friendly black ink. After coloring them with Copics, I fussy cut them out and ran a black marker around the edges to hide the white core of the paper.

I stamped the house and trees from the Holiday Home Stamp Set onto a panel of white cardstock with black ink, masking some of the images as I went. I colored the entire background with Copic markers, then stamped the sentiment along the left side, leaving room for my snowman couple on the right. I also filled some of the letters in the sentiment in with Copics.

I added some Stickles and clear glitter to the images for lots of sparkle. Once dry, the snowman couple was adhered with foam tape for dimension. Lastly, the panel was adhered to a white, top-folding card base.

Here’s the hop list and giveaway info…
