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.

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.

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.

Topflight Stamps Birthday Hop

March 26, 2019

It is Topflight Stamps 2nd birthday! To celebrate, we’ve teamed up with up some of our favorite crafters to bring you a blog hop showcasing some of the fabulous products available from Topflight Stamps. Please hop along with us all and show all of the crafters some love! The Topflight Stamps birthday hop is going to be awesome.

Here is my cards for today. I used the Darkroom Door Paint Drips and Paints Brushes on my cards. I LOVE both of these stamps for cardmaking. I’m a huge watercolor person so these just spoke to me when I saw them. The first card I heat embossed the paint drips and a sentiment in gold embossing powder over a pretty alcohol ink background. I trimmed down this panel so I could layer it over black card stock. Next I stamped the sentiment on black card stock, heat embossed it in gold and cut out just a portion of the sentiment. I added this strip on the card front for added interest. Lastly I added this piece to a white card base to complete the card.

For my next card I really wanted to make these little brushes stand out on their own. I stamped and heat embossed them with gold embossing powder and fussy cut each one out. Next I added glue to the end of each one and sprinkled on glitter on the ends. I used red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple glitter.

I stenciled a background in rainbow order to have a nice landing place for my brushes. Stamping out the sentiment directly on this panel keep the card very simple. I used a white card base for my card. I added some cheery red card stock to this panel and then glued on the dotted background. Lastly I added some foam tape behind each paint brush and popped it up near the coordinating colored dots.
