Easy Distress Rainbow Cards

Hey peeps.  I’m back today with a new tutorial using rainbows are my inspiration.  So it’s Easy Distress Rainbow Cards up on the blog.  I’m been feeling like I’m losing my mojo and I needed a way to get excited about crafting again.  What better way than to pull out some rainbow influenced colors and make a few cards.

For my cards today I used distress oxide inks, rainbow foil and a stencil.  There are so many ways to be inspired when making a rainbow cards and there are so many variations of styles and techniques.  I’m going to share three with you in the tutorial that I hope inspire you to pull out your colorful paper and get busy. Here’s a few picks of the card before we get started.  The first cards I just pulled out my distress oxide inks and got busy.  I love how simple and colorful this card came out.

 

 

For my next card I used the distress stripe toner sheets from Therm-O-Web and the rainbow shattered glass foil.  Oh this foil is soooo yummy and beautiful.  I have all the products I used listed below.

 

 

And for my last card, I pulled out a stencil and used the transfer gel and rainbow foil to create a fun distressed circle background.

 

 

Okay on to the tutorial I know you have been waiting for.  Please let me a comment on which card you liked the best and what inspires you to get creative. 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.

Celebrate With Pink and Main Celebrate Stamps and Dies

Hey peeps.  I’m back today on the Pink and Main blog sharing the Celebrate stamp set and coordinating dies.  There is nothing better than making a card and finding the perfect die to go with it.  I’m a huge font snob (yup I said it) and the font Pink and Main uses for their die cuts is one of my favorites. This celebrate die cut is my all time favorite due to it’s size and style.  This Pink and Main celebrate stamp set and die has such a variety of ways to make a statement on your cards.  You can also pair it with the Birthday stamp set available over in the Pink and Main shop.

Shaker Card – Shaking Up My St. Patrick’s Day Birthday Card

Hey peeps.  As promised I’m shaking up my St. Patrick’s Day birthday card for my sister.  I mean who doesn’t love a great shaker card?  If you missed my card from yesterday you can check it out here.  This card will be for my twin sister again because our birthday is on St. Patrick’s day (lucky us) and I always try to incorporate green into our cards.

Working My Green With A St. Patrick’s Day Deco Foil Birthday Card

Hey peeps.  I’m working my green today making a St. Patrick’s Day Deco Foil card.  My birthday is on St. Patrick’s day and it’s a special on this year because my twin and I are turning 50!  Yes we made it to this fabulous age and I couldn’t be happier.  You see when I turned 40 I was diagnosed with colon cancer.  It was the scariest time of my life and for my family.  We were so fortunate that the cancer was easily removed and I am almost 10 years cancer free.

Anyway back to the St. Patrick’s Day card for my sister. I started with a beautiful blend of distress oxide inks for my background.  Next I added some splattered gold splatter to the background as well.  Wanting to pull in some beautiful gold foil on my card, so I grabbed my deco foil foam adhesive sheets and foil sheets and got busy.

My completed card looked great with all the gold and green.  Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. You can see more of the deco foil in action on this video I made during my holiday card series.

Valentine’s Day Card Series 2019 – Day 5 and a GIVEAWAY

Hey peeps.  I’m back with the final day of my Valentine’s Day Card Series 2019 and a giveaway.  And of course I have a tutorial today. I want to thank everyone who have commented on my blog and subscribed during this series.  I appreciate your kindness and support.  For my card today I did a little bit of ink blending inspired by Kristina Werner.

First I pulled out my my dried marigold, worn lipstick and seedless preserves oxide inks  to start blending that color on some 80 lb Neenah Solar White card stock.  I knew by using this color combination I would end up with a very pretty Valentine’s Day Card.

Next I stamped the top and bottom borders with the beautiful cascading hearts from the Concord and 9th Little Love Tags stamp set.  I heat embossed the hearts with white embossing powder.  I pulled out one of the sentiments in this stamp set and heat embossed it in white as well on the front of the card panel.

 

 

To finish up the card I placed this panel on a 110lb Neenah Solar White card base and added a few clear droplets to mimic additional water splashes.  I just love love, love how this card turned out.  You can easily mass produce this is card with so many pretty colors for Valentine’s Day.

Here’s a quick 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.

 

 

I will be giving away a $20 gift certificate to Concord & 9th so you too can make something special for your love ones.  It would be great if you followed me on my social media accounts listed below and leave me a comment letting me know how you show your loved one how much they mean to you.  Winner will be announced Sunday Feb 3rd on my Instagram page. Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you back here.
