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.

 

Valentine's Day Card Series 2021 Day 2

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.  Have a great day everyone.

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). 😂

Pink and Main Bright Side Rainbow Card – Happiness Overload

June 14, 2019

Hey peeps.  I’m still making rainbows in my craft room.  I have a quick tutorial for you using the Pink and Main Bright Sides stamp. I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this precious rainbow stamp set.  It’s perfect for easy colors.  Let me share the cards I made for you. This Pink and Main Bright Side Rainbow card is ready to be mailed.  Will you get it in your mailbox? 😉

As I mentioned I used the Pink and Main Bright Side stamp set along with Copic markers.  It was such a relaxing way to make a card.  I pulled out the Gina K. Designs Wreath Builder to help me make the background for my card. You can see how this all came together in the video.  Here is another card I made using this stamp set.  You can click the link and then head on over to the Pink and Main blog for all the details on that card.

I mean look at the sparkle on the rainbow and clouds.  I achieved the sparkle using my wink of stella glitter brush pen.  You can also use Pixie Dust from Ink On 3 with a paint brush to get the same effect.

 

Now onto the tutorial. 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. To me there is nothing better than a sparkly card to set off a good day.  Would you like to see more rainbow inspired cards?  Let me know below.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Leave a message below for a chance to win one of these Pink and Main Bright Side Rainbow cards.  I’ll pick a winner and announce who it is next week.  Have a great day everyone.

InkOn3 Heels To You Stamp Set – Calling All Fashionistas

April 17, 2019

Hey peeps. The InkOn3 Heels To You stamp set is PEFECT for your fashionistas in your life. I mean who doesn’t love a fabulous looking heel.  This stamp set is now available in the InkOn3 store. Below you will see a few cards I made using this stamp set.

For this shoe I used the Fade Out Ink from InkOn3 to stamp the image on watercolor paper.  I used my Daniel Smith watercolors to color the shoe.  I love how the shoe looks like denim.  Simplicity of this card keeps the focus on the heel.

For my next two cards I used my Copic markers to color in the heels.  I also added some glossy accents and liquid pixie dust for some added interest.  Stenciling a background in coordinating colors really helps land these heels in a happy place. In the stamp set there’s an additional flower image along with great sentiments. These added images will make beautiful floral cards.  You can easily use this set for Mother’s Day cards as well.

 

 

On a personal note:  I have been absent from my blog due to family matters.  We have lost three of our loved ones in three months and their deaths have left an incredibly empty place in our hearts.  It has zapped my mojo and my spirit at the moment.  I am slowly getting back to crafting and making tutorials.  Please bear with me as I process these losses and find some peace in my life.  Thank you all for your support and kind words on my social media platforms. I appreciate each and every one of you.  As I work my way through this process, please make sure to scroll through my blog for inspiration and tutorials.   Have a great day everyone and stay blessed.

Crafty hugs,

Dana

Afternoon friends. I'm back with a card layering u Afternoon friends. I'm back with a card layering up my @heroarts bold prints. I love the look for texture on cards and by using two great bold prints, I created this beauty. A good tip to layering your bold prints, keep it simple! If your bold prints are too busy, layering them will be difficult. 

For my card I used the Hero Arts Ginkgo Leaves and Positive Script bold prints. The script bold print is small enough that it doesn't overpower the leaves. And you don't have to be perfect with the script either as you are just giving the look for words not something that needs to be readable. Perfect match in cardmaking heaven.

You can find all the products I used on the blog today including this beautiful sentiment you see on my card. (it's one that speaks to my heart). Link is in the bio. Have a wonderful day everyone.
