Heffy Doodle and InkOn3 Collaboration Hop

May 31, 2020

Welcome to the Heffy Doodle and InkOn3 Collaboration hop. We are so happy so see you today. The design teams from both companies will be sharing amazing inspiration cards with you today. InkOn3 and Heffy Doodle are amazing small business companies which I love supporting!

Let’s get into how I made my card for today. I used the Heffy Doodle Crazy Kaleidoscope and sponged on InkOn3 Atelier inks. I choice to use rainbow inspired colors so my background would be bright and happy. Want to see a tutorial on how this card was made? Look below. 😉

Inkon3 Heffy Doodle Adding to the colorful theme I used the Magical Unicorn from InkOn3. I stamped it in Blackout Ink onto watercolor paper. To color my pretty unicorn I watercolored it with the same colors of Atelier inks I used for my background. Theses inks are perfect for stamps and work wonderfully with watercoloring.

Once the image was completely colored, I die cut it with the coordinating Magical Unicorn die. Next I added some hits of shimmer with Liquid Pixie Dust. I love the sparkle of this product. To finish off the card I trimmed down the layering panel and backed it with black card stock and adhered it onto a white card base. For added dimension I popped up the unicorn with foam take, added a few gems and for the sentiment I used the Hey die cut from Heffy Doodle. I die cut it three times, adhered them together and added them to the bottom of the card.

Save The Crafty Youtuber Video Hop

March 25, 2020

Hey everyone. I know I have been missing in action but I’m back for the Save The Crafty Youtuber Video Hop. There are so many amazing people who share their creativeness on Youtube. I’m so thrilled to participate again this year in the Save The Crafty YouTuber Video hop. Let’s get started.

For my card today I used products from Waffle Flower and Heffy Doodle. This was a super easy card to pull together and can be changed up to so many color combinations. I kept mine to very spring like colors since it’s pretty warm here in Florida.

Save The Crafty YouTuber Video Hop

Now let me give you a heads up. I had to record this video THREE times. My computer decided not to play nicely with me and since the Apple stores are closed during this time, I had to record it multiple times to get it to export correctly. After five plus hours on the phone with Apple, I switched to creating the video on my phone and I was successful with an upload. (A lot of wine was involved to keep my nerves down). 😂

Friendship Blog Hop

February 12, 2020

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Friendship Blog hop. I know I’ve been missing for a little bit. I caught a really bad cold while I was at Creativation and have felt horrible since my return. I’m finally getting back into my craft room and searching for my creative side. So being a part of the Friendship Blog hop was the perfect way to get my inspiration back.

You can start at the beginning of the hop from Courtney’s blog. Courtney is the organizer of this event and I’m thrilled to be a part of it. There are amazing creative souls on the Friendship Blog hop and there are SIXTEEN Youtube tutorials as well as blog post and slide photos. Trust me you want to see them all.

Since I’m just getting back into my room, I thought watercoloring would fill my creative block. I enjoy watercoloring as I can push my creative side and it’s pretty therapeutic for me. Including a rainbow themed card is the perfect way to happiness. 😉 I have a tutorial over on my Youtube channel for you to check out. Here’s a few photos of the completed card.

I love the bright colors of this card. The sentiments from Ink Blot Shop and Concord & 9th work so well together for this card.

Here’s the tutorial for this card. You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. I’ve used affiliate links for your convenience at no cost to you. Want more watercolor inspiration? Check out my watercolor category.

Thanks stopping by today. Next on the hop is Amanda. You can check out project on her blog and her tutorial over on her Youtube channel. I hope you find loads of inspiration on the hop. See you back here soon! Take care everyone.

Paper Sweeties Birthday Blog Hop With Pink and Main

August 24, 2019

Hey everyone. Welcome to the Pink and Main/Paper Sweeties Birthday Blog Hop. I’m so excited to be a part of this hop. It’s going to be full of inspiration and creativity overload. Paper Sweeties has some really cute stamps and products. So let’s get started.

For my card today I used the Pink and Main Pen Pals as my background paper. I trimmed down the pattern paper so I could add a pretty gray piece of card stock behind it. Next I stamped out the sentiment on white card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and trimmed it down. I also placed the sentiment strip onto gray card stock. I added faux white stitching to both panels with a .10 point gelly roll pen. Finishing off this panel I glued the sentiment strip onto the pattern paper panel.

Now it was time to die cut out the love sentiment from Paper Sweeties. I die cut this piece several times and glued the piece together for extra weight. I then used my white gelly roll pen to go over the letters for some white highlights. Once this was complete I adhered it to my card panel and covered the sentiment with Nuvo Crystal Glaze. To keep the card colorful, I placed my pattern paper panel onto a rose card base. Adding just a touch of bling to my card I used these pretty flower sequins also from Paper Sweeties.

Here is a closeup of my card. The little flower sequins are open in the center however I placed a small gem in the middle of mine.

Now for all the details. Paper Sweeties is offering 25% discount on that day to celebrate their 7th Birthday. And Pink and Main will be giving away a surprise package valued at $25.00. Participants must leave a comment on each stop along the hop. Winner announced on Wednesday August 28, 2019.

It’s now time to hop along to the next designer. So head on over to Laurie’s blog and get inspired. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.
