Stamptember With Hero Arts

September 18, 2021

Hey everyone. Today is the day! We are celebrating the Simon Says Stamp Stamptember with Hero Arts. The stamp set is perfect for celebrating the best things in life. And add in sweets and desserts for the win!

My card features a few of the yummy sweets from this set. To start off my card I stamped the party time image onto Hero Arts Dove White cardstock. Next I made a circle mask with my Hero Arts Infinity Circles die to cover up the stamped image. Then I sponged my background with Hero Arts Lemon Drop Reactive Ink and stamped the Hero Arts Birthday Balloons Bold Print in the same reactive ink.

Next it was time color up a few sweet treats with my Copic markers and fuzzy cut them out. Trimmed down my colorful panel, I adhered it to a Hero Arts Side Fold card. To add some dimension to my card, I popped up each of the colored treats with foam tape around the sentiment.

The finishing piece of the card, I used a white gelly roll pen to add some white sprinkles to my donut and cupcake. I think this is such a sweet celebration card for any occassion.

The Stamptember Hero Arts and Simon Says Stamp collaboration stamp is now available in the Simon Says Stamp store. Remember, once this stamp set sells out it won’t be coming back in stock. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

Create A Focal Point For Your Cards Tutorial

August 10, 2021

Hey everyone. I have a quick tutorial for you sharing how to create a focal point for your cards. Sometimes when we make a card, we want one area to shine more than the other. Keeping your panel back and white with just a pop of color helps to achieve this look.

Keeping most of the images white it allowed me to draw your eye into the center focal point on the card.

Simple coloring also made the card come together rather quickly.

Here is the tutorial to create a focal point on your card. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

I’ve linked all the products below for your shopping ease. I hope you enjoy the video and if you have any questions, please let them in the comment and I’ll be glad to answer them for you. Have a great day and I’ll see you back here soon.

Hero Arts Bunch Of Balloons Birthday Card

June 23, 2021

Hey everyone. I’m back sharing some quick and easy birthday cards using the Hero Arts Bunch Of Balloons Stamp set and the coordinating Bunch Of Balloons Fancy Cut. Having extra birthday cards on hand are a must in my house. I always seem to need one when I least expect it.

The Bunch of Balloons stamp set pairs perfectly with the Hero Arts Birthday Balloons Bold Print background stamp. I created two cards in different color palettes using just my Copic markers as my coloring medium. Keeping the background just black and white or gray and white lets the balloons really pop!

The Copics I used from this card were R08, YR04, Y35, B04, N2 and N3. The colored cardsock is Hero Arts Cherry.

Valentine’s Day Card Series 2021 Day 2

February 2, 2021

Hey everyone. We are back with Day 2 of the Valentine’s Day Card Series. Remember Days 1, 3 and 5 will have a tutorial on Youtube. I’m happy to continue this series. Today’s card is a simple one.

Colorado Craft Company came out with this adorable Lots Of Love stamp set. I immediately feel in love with it. These adorable little bunnies remind me of my hubby and I. I’m always wanting to be snuggled up to him. LOL I know I’m a lot to deal with.

I kept my coloring very monochromatic with shades of brown. After I finished coloring the image, I made a mask to cover the bunnies so I could lightly sponge hazelnut ink of the image.

Not wanting to have a load of color on this card, I pulled out a beautiful coral color paper from the Scrapbook.com Floral Smooth Cardstock paper pad. Trimming down this paper and stamping little hearts over it kept the design clean. The hearts and inks are from Concord and 9th.

I layered this paper onto Chestnut card stock and placed it on a white card base. I popped up the colored image with foam tape and added some white dots down the brown panel. This card was so easy to make and I love how it came out. All products used are listed below. Affiliate links used at no cost to you.

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll be back tomorrow with another card and a tutorial. Have a great day everyone.

Simon Says Stamp Crafty Hugs Release – Peony Bouquet

May 28, 2020

It’s the Simon Says Stamp Crafty Hugs Release Day – Peony Bouquet. I’m thrilled to be sharing products from this release and even more excited to share what I made. Today’s card is featuring the new Peony Bouquet stamp. Oh the pretty cards I made for your inspiration today. I have three cards to share each done with a different coloring medium. I’ll discuss each medium as I go through my cards. Are you excited? Let’s discuss my first card. The Simon Says Stamp Crafty Hugs release is amazing and you’re going to love it!

For my first card I immediately knew I wanted to watercolor the image with my Karin Watercolor markers. To begin I pulled out my watercolor paper and trimmed it down to 5 1/2 to 7 1/2. I prefer to keep my paper larger than I need so I can trim it down later. I stamped the image in antique linen distress ink so I could do no-line watercoloring. Next I simply added just a little bit of marker around the image and pulled the color in using a small paintbrush. To add interest to the colors, I made sure to use more than one shade of red, green and yellow. Once I was finished coloring I trimmed down my piece to fit a 5×7 card, added a hugs sentiment and a few clear sequins.

My second card is probably my favorite as it’s so striking. For this card I stamped the image in white pigment ink onto artagain black card stock. I made sure to heat set this image before I went any further. Next I pulled out my Caran d’Ache Luminance colored pencils and started coloring. Using the white pigment ink under the color pencil really makes the color of the pencil pop! It’s so beautiful to see come to life. To finished off the card, I stamped and heat embossed a simple birthday sentiment, added a few white faux stitches around the border of the card with my white gelli roll pen and for added interest, I added some highlights with the white pen in select areas on the flowers. This card was mounted onto a 5×7 card base.

Now for my last card, I wanted this one to be bright and happy. To achieve this look I pulled out my Copic Markers. I stamped the image first in Gina K. Designs whisper ink. To create a focal point I only colored one of the flowers with shades of yellow and green Copic Markers. It’s hard to see in the photo however the other flowers are very faint on the card panel. To add some texture I pulled out my polychromo pencils to add in some shading. I stamped a simple hello sentiment, added a few sequins, backed the flower panel with grout card stock and placed it onto an 4.25 x 5.50 card base.

The products I used on all three cards are link below. Reminder, these are affiliate links however there is no cost to you for using them. I assist me in providing content to my blog and Youtube channel. Thanks for stopping by today and I hope you are inspired to create a beautiful card using the Simon Says Stamp Peony Bouquet.
