MFT February 2024 Release

February 27, 2024

Hey everyone. MFT February 2024 release is now available and it’s awesome. I couldn’t wait to make a card with the Happiness Comes In Small Packages stamp set. I don’t make baby cards that often but this one has my heart.

With a stamp set this cute, I had to use the new Smart Mask Horizontal Diagonal Center stencil. It was the perfect stencil for a lot of added color without it being everywhere. You must grab this stencil because it’s so much fun to work with.

By lightly ink blending distress oxide inks in Kitsch Flamingo and Wilted Violet, I was able to create this pretty blend. Adding a little it of shimmer spray before I removed the stencil gave this ink blend a dreamy effect. The little bunnies were colored with Copic markers (E00, E50, E53, RV11, RV00) as well as the balloons (RV11, RV14 and Olo Marker V2.6). Having the coordinating die cuts was a much for cutting out those balloons.

Let’s give MFT a round of applause for making yet again another wonderful stamp set and stencil to have in our craft supplies. So grab your goodies from the MFT February 2024 release today! Have a wonderful day everyone.

Easy Ink Blending Valentine Card: My Favorite Things

January 15, 2024

Hey everyone. Keeping in the Valentine spirit, we are doing easy ink blending Valentine card using My Favorite Tings products. I haven’t used my distress oxides inks in a while so I thought today would be the day I did just that.

Using colors of pinks and purples inspired by my Color Cube, I got to working on a beautiful background. The Full Of Hearts Dieanamic from My Favorite Things was a great option for the ink blended piece. It provided me with a great over for a card and tons of little hearts I can use on additional cards.

The adorable new stamp set from My Favorite Things called Lovely Lions was the perfect addition to this beautiful background.

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel. Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you! I hope I’ve inspired you to keep working on your Valentine’s Day cards. I’ll be back with another card shortly. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you again!

Welcome back to the Holiday Card Series 2023. We are on Day 6 and we have rounded the corner to the last color palette of this year. Today’s color palette is a bright and cheerful one. And instead of building our own color palette we are going to use colors from a 6 x 6 designer paper pad.

You can start at the beginning of the series by clicking here.

 

 

You can see all about this paper pad over on the Youtube channel mzdanajoy or you can watch it here on the blog. Affiliate links have been used at no cost to you.

 

Thank you so much for joining me for the Holiday Card Series 2023. We will have one more video where I go over some tips and tricks for success in your holiday cardmaking and beyond.

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.
