Now onto my card and tutorial. If you have been following me on Instagram, you know I’m a champagne lover especially during the holidays. So this year I turned my love of my favorite champagne into a card.

I absolutely love how this card came out. The gold on the green looks stunning. Keeping the card clean and simple really works for this design.

Had to share the bottle label with the card. If you love champagne let me know which kind you like. I would love to try something new.

Here’s the tutorial on how this card came together. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel. All products I used are listed below. Affiliate links are used at no cost to you. Thanks for supporting my channel.

Thanks so much for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here with more inspiration soon! Take care and Happy New Year.

Holiday Card Series – Day 26 Therm-O-Web and Gina K Designs

December 12, 2019

Hey everyone. I’m back sharing a card using Therm-O-Web and Gina K. Designs products for inspiration. There are two cards in this tutorial to get your really excited to use these products. Adding sparkle to my holiday cards is a must. Even if you keep it clean and simple, a little sparkle can go a long way.

Here is my first card using glitz glitter gel in silver and brilliant blue. A simple stencil and a clean sentiment was perfect for this card.

For my next card I wanted to make a thin shaker card with a twist. So I pulled out the peppermint twist toner sheets and red static transfer foil to pull this card together. It was so easy and what a statement card.

Glitz Glitter Gel – Customized Colors

August 18, 2019

Hey peeps. I’m back today sharing a card make with Glitz Glitter Gel. I’ve customized my colors for this card and it was so easy to do. Glitz glitter gel is one of my favorite products and it really allows you to get creative. Here in my tutorial you will see how I customized my color palette using the gel and Brea Reese alcohol inks. Let’s take a quick look at the card I made.

First let me say that the clear gel can be tinted to sooo many colors with other mediums. The bonus is you don’t lose the sparkle of the gel at all. That’s a win-win for sure. Thermoweb and Gina K. have outdone themselves with this gel. It comes in some of Gina’s ink and paper colors as well so it’s great to use with all her products.

Let me give you some advice…GET ALL THE COLORS. 😂I know, full set syndrome speaking however they are just too gorgeous to not have on hand. Again, you can mix the gel in with all your Brea Reese inks for custom colors at a snap.

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.

Thanks for stopping by today. If you have any questions, please feel free to leave a comment and I will answer you back. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

July 3, 2019

Let me share with you some information before I get into my card. Make sure you comment on each of the designers blog for your chance to win.

Make sure to comment by Thursday as a winners will be announced on Friday on the Ink On 3 blog and Gina K Designs blog.

For my post today I have a tutorial and an extra card to share. My first card I used the new Ink On 3 Bad and Boujee stamps and coordinating dies along with the Gina K Designs Leafy Stencil die and white glitz glitter gel. My tutorial will show you how this card came together.

Bad and Boujee Pink and Main

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.

For my next card I keep the focus on the beautiful flowers from the Gina K Designs Vibrant Bloom stamp set and keep the sentiment simple with one of the sentiments from the Ink On 3 Bad and Boujee stamp set.

My card was stamped with juicy ink and heat embossed with Ink On 3 Arctic White embossing powder on Gina K Designs black card stock. I stamped out an additional flower and colored it with my polychromo color pencils and ran it through my die cut machine with the matching die. For my sentiment I also stamped it with juicy ink and heat embossed it in white. Trimming down this piece into a sentiment strip was a perfect way to add the sentiment. I adhered my floral panel to a white card base made out of Gina K white card stock. Popping up the flower and sentiment gave my card some dimension. Added texture and piazza was achieved by the addition of liquid pixie dust to all the flowers, a touch of white splatter made with gouache and a few colorful dots of Nuvo drops in orange and red.

Now it’s time to hop around. PLEASE make sure to leave a comment on each of the designer’s blogs. Also, if you would like, share their designs on your Facebook page or Instagram making sure to give credit to the design.

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.
