Simon Says Stamp Season Of Wonder

October 5, 2023

Welcome to the blog everyone. Today I am participating in the Simon Stamp Season Of  Wonder release. I’m super excited to share this card with you today. Scene cards are really difficult for me to create, however with a little masking I was successful.

I started off my stamping the little girl with her stack of presents on the left side of the card. Next, I stamped the bundle of presents to the right of my panel. Now it was time to mask off these areas. Pulling out my masking sheets, I stamped and fussy cut out the girl and the bundle of presents. Using the masks, I covered up these two areas and then stamped my tree. Once the masking paper was removed, it was time to color.

The Copic markers are I used today are the following:

E11, E 13, E15, E39, E50
R46, R59, R81, R83, RV34
BG13, BG49
YG23, YG67, YG99
Y26, Y28
W4, W6, W7

Now that coloring was complete, I hand drew in the floor for my images and colored with Copic markers. For a little bit of texture, I pulled out a light beige Copic marker to make faux wallpaper. To top off my tree I stamped the star, colored it in with my Copic markers and fussy cut it. I use double sided foam to adhere it to the top of the tree. And lastly, I stand the large Christmas sentiment at the top of the card, and also stamped a sub sentiment which I fussy cut out.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do! Here’s to starting off those holiday cards for this year. It’s time now to fill up your cart with products from the Simon Says Stamp Season of Wonder release.Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you back here soon.

Happy Gnomes

September 11, 2023

Hey everyone. I have a card using the Hero Arts Happy Gnomes stamp set. These gnomes are absolutely adorable. Within the stamp set you will have a few gnomes to play with as well as a few accent pieces.

Happy Gnomes

For a cute love in the forest, I paired the stamp set with the Hero Arts Woodlands Forest Stencil  and ink blending cool colors of  Hero Arts Sand and Espresso. To pull your eye to the coloring and stencil, I used the Hero Arts Infinity Arches dies. The arches give this card a different vibe compared to a circle or square.

We are heading into fall so I’ve been using a cooler color palette with Hero Arts Cherry and Woodland cardstock. Now I might not keep that up but for now it’s my jam.The cardbase is Hero Arts Side Folded card.

To color up these images, I used my Copic markers. Copic colors were kept to a minimum to keep the card towards the cooler palette. Leave a comment below if you would like the colors I used. I haven’t colored up many images lately so it was a great time to use them. The Happy Gnomes stamp set is ready for your shopping card. Links to all the products used are below. See ya back here soon.

Hero Arts Monstera Stamp Set

July 17, 2022

Hey everyone. Have you seen the Hero Arts Monstera stamp set? OMG, I love it. First of all this is one plant I’m truly drawn to. The large leaves and beautiful way it grows, has me wanting to plant them everywhere around my home. Let me show you how I used the stamp set.

I knew immediately this card needed to be clean and simple. By stamping the image in opposite corners of my panel using Hero Arts Intensi-fied Black ink it allowed me to color one with my Copic markers and leave the one white.

 

Next I used one of the small hearts from the Hero Arts Nesting Heart Infinity dies to have a place to hold a sentiment. By using the green Copic makers to color my heart, the color palette stayed simple.

 

I used a black and white gelly roll pen to add faux stitching around the heart as well as around the card panel.

Finishing off the card, I placed this panel on a Hero Arts Dove White side folding card. An easy clean and simple card. I really love how this card turned out. If you want to see more cards made using Hero Arts products, you can click here to find them.

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.

Hero Arts Better Together

 

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.
