Holiday Card Series 2023 – Day 3

December 4, 2023

Hey everyone! Oh boy today is a good day. The color palette for the Holiday Card Series 2023 – Day 3 is right up there with one of my favorites. It’s so rich in color! And anytime you have some rich black in your cardmaking, you are set!

The first card we have today really focuses on a light and bright background with most of the color being in the center of the card.

Our second card might just be my favorite. I LOVE the striking black on this card with just the pops of color.

And for our last card, color is scattered all over the card. This one is really happy looking.

You can watch the video here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you.

So how to you feel about this color palette? The Holiday Card Series 2023 is all about inspiring you to create with beautiful color palettes. Okay we will see you back here in a few days for another color combo. Take care everyone.

Holiday Card Series 2023 – Day 2

December 1, 2023

Welcome to the Holiday Card Series 2023 Day 2. Let’s get into another color palette. Today’s color palette is a non traditional color palette. It’s on the cooler side of the spectrum and I absolutely love it.

Not only are we doing a non traditional color palette, we are also doing non traditional stamp sets as well. Pulling out those stamps that may not fit into your holiday card design, really allows you to stretch those stamps to use year around.

The first card is featuring the Hero Arts Better Together stamp set. This stamp set is a collaboration set between Hero Arts, Pocono Pam and myself.

Now the next card features the Gina K Designs Friendly Silhouettes stamp set.

And our last card is featuring the Pink Fresh Studio Eucalyptus Fantasy stamp set.

All of these cards are using the exact came colors but look truly different by switching up how I use the color on the card. You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

A list of the products I used are below. You can also check out my previous card series by clicking the link In the comment section of the tutorial. Have a great day and I’ll see you back here soon.

Now I also have a inspiration card using an add-on from this month’s release. This card is featuring the Winter Holiday Cheer Bundle. Grab your colorful inks and make a beautiful holiday town.

My little town is sitting in a winter wonderland. By hand trimming snowbanks and lightly blending on a little Hero Arts Dove ink, I had the perfect place to add in some trees.

To add in a little more interest, you could use Hero Arts glitter with a touch of glue for sparkle on your snowbanks.

The colors inks I used for my little town were Mist, Soft Blossom and Periwinkle. For my trees I used Moss and Espresso. To light up the windows I used a light yellow marker and for the doors and dormers I used a medium brown. Next on the hop is Ilina. We will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, November 12th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week.
