Holiday Card Series 2019 Day 25 – Guest Designer Ashley Tucker

Hey crafty friends, this is Ashley Tucker and today I am taking over Dana’s blog! What do you guys think of the Holiday Card series so far? There have been some amazing cards and so much inspiration! I have a card to share with you today featuring a beautiful background stamp. For those of you who find coloring relaxing and therapeutic this card is perfect for you!

Now I am the kind of person that loves to color but, when it comes to coloring this intense, I really have to be in the mood. When I sat down to create this card I was in the mood for some coloring. So, I put on some Netflix (watching The Office for the umpteenth time), grabbed a coke, and picked out a detailed background stamp.

 

The Winter Floral Mix background stamp from Simon Says Stamp is an awesome Christmas themed stamp that is great for when you want to color. I stamped it using my Misti Tool onto some Neenah Solar White cardstock. I used Gina K Designs jet black amalgam ink, which is a wonderful Copic friendly ink.

For the coloring I used my Copic markers. Check out this Copic map to see all the colors I used!

Once the coloring was done, I trimmed it to be slightly smaller than 3.75×5. I wanted a tiny white border around the edge, so I matted the panel onto a piece of white cardstock which was cut to be 3.75×5. I created an A2 card base out of Simon Says Stamp peacock teal cardstock and popped up the colored in background onto that with foam tape.

 

I really wanted to keep the sentiment simple for this card so that the focus could be the coloring. I decided to use the Joyful Frame die from Simon Says Stamp. I love the very clean typography on this die set. I cut the background piece from metallic silver cardstock, and the word square from white cardstock. I glued them together and then adhered them to my card.

I hope you enjoyed this card design! Be sure to check out the rest of the Holiday Card series here on Dana’s blog and over on her YouTube channel. If you want to see more cards from me, I will post my social media links. Be sure to stop by and say hello!

Holiday Card Series 2019 – Day 24 Ink On 3 Atelier Inks

Hey everyone.  It’s Dana back with you today and I’m sharing the Ink On 3 Atelier Inks.  These inks from Ink On 3 are new to the market and all I can say is WOW.  Ink On 3 has outdone themselves with these Atelier Inks. They are buttery, vibrant and down right magical.  Here is the card we will be making today. I used the atelier inks to color this image and I think you will be amazed how gorgeous these inks are.

 

 

 

Let’s get right into the video as I’m super excited to share these inks with you today.  Fleurette (owner of Ink On 3) is taking preorders, so the sooner you place your order the quicker you will get your inks.

 

While I was busy in my stamp room making holiday cards, I created one more card using the Oh Deer stamp set.  This is another way to use the same stamp set to make a striking card.  I heat embossed the image with gold rush embossing powder onto brown card stock.  Next I pulled out my Caran D’Ache Luminance pencils and colored in the image.  This card is very easy to pull together and it makes a great masculine card.

Ink On 3 Oh Deer Stamp

Since I was mounting the deer panel onto the same brown card stock I decided to add some gold around the edges. This really warms up the card nicely.

I adhered this panel to another piece of brown card stock and adhered everything to a white card base.  I really love how this card turned out.

 

Okay everyone.  It’s a wrap for me today.  Make sure to swing back by tomorrow for more inspiration.  Don’t forget to comment for your chance to win some of the amazing giveaways we have going on during the series.  The more you comment the better your chances are of winning.  Have a great day everyone.

Holiday Card Series 2019 Day 22 – Guest Designer Ceal Prichett

Hello everyone!! It’s Ceal here with you, and I’m taking over Dana’s blog to share in the fun of Dana’s Got Joy Creations Holiday Series for 2019. Make sure you are following this series for amazing holiday inspiration, giveaways, discount codes, and don’t forget to leave a comment below to qualify all the giveaways. There will also be tutorials and cards shared by Dana as well, and she will have a few surprises to share with you!

I love Altenew’s Layering Stamps but there is no way I would be using them without the Misti for sure. The layering set I used on this card is Peaceful Wreath. I made this my first card because the holidays are hard y’all!

With so many friends who have lost loved ones this year including myself, I had two empty chairs at Thanksgiving and they will be empty at Christmas as well and it just makes the holidays hard. I have been having a pretty rough time this month on top of it being the holiday I lost a very very dear friend this month.  Christmas will be hard as I miss her so much already. She always sent me a handmade card and a gift for me and a gift for Willis from her pup.

With that being said, I am hoping that this card brings the recipient some comfort. I created this card starting with a white card base and a white panel. Using the misti of course I stamped the first half of the wreath and then flipped the panel and stamped again to complete the wreath, doing this with each layer. Once I got the wreath completed I stampe the “peace” with  my favorite embossing ink and then embossed it in gold powder and then using the mini misti I added the rest of the greeting.

Holiday Card Series 2019 Day 21 – Guest Designer Carisa Zglobicki

Hey everyone. It’s Carisa here with you and I’m taking over Dana’s blog and Youtube channel to share in the fun of Dana’s Got Joy Creations Holiday Series for 2019. Make sure you are following this series for amazing holiday inspiration, giveaways, discount codes and don’t forget to leave a comment below to qualify all the giveaways. There will also be tutorials and cards shared by Dana as well and she will have a few surprises to share with you! 

For my card today, I am creating backgrounds using alcohol inks and then using my Gemini FoilPress machine to add foiling to my card with some super cute Spellbinders Glimmer Plates. I’m keeping it super simple today. The foiling on these cards look amazing but they really don’t take a lot of time to create. You could totally make a bunch of backgrounds watching holiday movies, let them dry and then just foil them. I kept my cards flat without any dimension as well to make it super easy to pop in the mail.  

Here are some close ups of the cards.

 

 

 

The GJC Holiday Card Series runs from November 17 to December 14. Each day Dana will have a Guest Designer right here on the blog sharing their holiday card ideas just like I did here today. Hopefully you will find something to inspire you to create holiday cards for your family and friends this year. Follow along on her YouTube Channel and make sure you leave comments on each designer’s posts or videos for chances to win.

 

I hope you enjoy the video showing exactly how simple these cards are to create  yourself! Thanks for stopping by today. Don’t forget to leave your comments for a chance to win one of the giveaways.
