Z Fold Valentine Card: Valentine’s Day Card Series Day 4

January 24, 2022

Hey everyone. Sorry for the delay of the card series. I wasn’t feel well for a few days. Thank you for your understanding. Okay today’s card is a fun an easy Z Fold card. I’m using products from My Favorite Things for the tutorial card and the bonus card. The color palette was pulled from the MFT Sweet Plaid 6×6 paper pad. I love when I can use my pattern paper to pull colors from. It makes creating a color combo so much easier. Here is the first card I created in the tutorial. I love how easy it was to pull this Z Fold card together.

 

This is such a happy color palette. And I think it would work great for spring cards too.

 

 

 

For the bonus card I used the same paper this time I pulled more of the teal into the color combo with light ink blending. The center heart is made from the Heart Extraordinaire stencil set. As for the sentiment, I used the You Are So Loved stamp also from MFT.

Now this is a super cute card you can make and mass produce by just switching out the pattern paper.

 

 

 

You can watch the tutorial here or you can visit my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. All products used are linked below by an affiliate link at no cost to you.

Thanks for hanging out with me today. I hope I have inspired you today with my cards and color palette.  See you back here for another Valentine’s Day card.

Hero Arts Together Window Fancy Die

August 24, 2021

Good morning everyone. I’m sharing the Hero Arts Together Window Fancy Die. I loved creating a shaker card with this die. Starting with a piece of Hero Arts Dove White paper, I die cut the Together Window Fancy die. Next I used my Copic markers to color in each hand of the die. Next I stamped several sentiments from the Hero Arts Color My Words stamp set.

 

 

Using my Hero Arts Infinity Rectangle dies I trimmed down a piece of Hero Arts Glitter Paper in Fall. I also stamped out the You Are sentiment from the Color Me Word and heat embossed it in Copper embossing powder. I die cut out the sentiment using my Hero Arts Infinity Circles die. I placed the glitter frame on the die cut panel. Next I placed a piece of acetate behind the opening of the Together Window Die to build up my shaker.

 

Gluing down the circle sentiment to a piece of dove white cardstock, I added some glitter pieces around it and sealed it with the die cut hands piece. To complete the card I die cut out a rectangle from the Colors Of Earth paper pad and placed it on a white card base.

 

 

The Together Window Fancy die makes such a pretty shaker card. Adding just a touch of glitter paper really makes the card pop. I did make sure to bring a little more color to the panel with a few brown and bronze sequins to the cover of the card.

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope to see you back here soon!

Gina K Designs and Pear Blossom Press Collaboration

November 4, 2020

Welcome to the Let’s Glow hop with Gina K Designs and Pear Blossom Press! We’re sharing beautiful cards with a double-wow factor; they feature the beautiful stamps and dies you can only find from Gina K, and they all light up! (Don’t worry, that part is easy with the help of Pear Blossom Press’ EZ-Lights.) Be sure to hop along with us for lots of inspiration; our designers have come up with some gorgeous cards…

 

Using the Gina K Designs Holiday Trees stamp set I lined a card panel with one of the trees from the stamp set in Gina K. Designs Grass Green ink. I was careful to mask off each tree so there was no overlap of cover. Once I had the trees stamped, I colored in the sky using my BG0000 and BG000 Copic maker.

Carefully freehanding a snow bank with my scissors I place it under the trees and stamped the Merry Christmas and press me in Gina K. Designs Lipstick ink. The press me sentiment is from Heffy Doodle Interactively Yours stamp set. Adding just a touch of glitter along the snow bank makes my card sparkle.

Now it was time to assemble my card. Pulling out a small circle punch I punched out a few of the small circles on the trees. Behind those hole I placed a piece of vellum and attached my Easy Lights. I placed the battery pack under the press me and adhered it with double sided tape. I layered this panel with foam tape and placed it on a card panel that was lined with red card stock.

Adding just a few gems to the tree and my card was complete.  This card was sooo easy to put together and the addition of the lights makes it just perfect. Here is a video from Pear Blossom Press showing how to us their EZ Lights.

Every good hop has prizes, right? So Gina K Designs, and Pear Blossom Press are each giving away a $50 store credit! Comment on this post by November 11, 2020 to be entered to win. The winner of the Gina K Designs credit will be announced on their blog on November 18, and the winner of the Pear Blossom Press credit will be announced the same day, on their blog. Next on the hop is Beth Silaika.

My card is featuring the new Rose Branch die cut and the new Under Water stencils. There are four stencils to create this beautiful background. Using a white gel pen I did some wonky (I mean seriously wonky 😂) faux stitching on the card as well.  I love the cool colors for green on this card.
