My Favorite Things Sketch 514

November 4, 2020

Hey everyone. I’m participating My Favorite Things Sketch 514. I love working with good sketch since the process of making the design is already done for me. This week’s sketch allows you to have a large area as a great focal point. And with the stripes, YASS HUNTY!!

For my card I’m using the Old Friends stamp set with the Lots of Hearts stencil and Woodgrain Whimsy 6×6 paper pad. I think the Old Friends stamp set is so adorable. Coloring my image with Copic markers allowed me to use a skin complexion that looks like me.

When I color an image I like to consider the color combination early. I knew I wanted my lady to have purple and yellow or gold. This way I know I can easily match her with 6×6 paper pads I have in my stash. Keeping your color palette in mind when coloring makes it super easy when you need to pull a card together.

The mix of hearts and the woodgrain work perfectly as neither design overpowers the other one.

Now, it’s your turn. You have until November 10 at noon EST to add your link and be eligible for the prize of $50 in MFT Cash to be spent in the MFT boutique. Winners are chosen at random, so everyone has a chance!

Download previous sketches in handy PDF format on our Printable Resource Page HERE. I hope you join in on the My Favorite Things Sketch 514. I would love to see how you pull this design off. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here soon.

SSS Monday Challenge – Sunny Studio Sunflower Fields

October 9, 2019

Hey peeps. I’m playing in the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge using the Sunny Studio Sunflower Fields stamp set. This week’s challenge is fall/autumn cards. This is perfect since I just made a card that absolutely fits the challenge.

For my card today I used the Sunny Studio Sunflower Fields stamp set. I am so in LOVE with this set. It makes beautiful and easy sunflowers for your cards or home decor. It’s really easy to layer which is a bonus for me since this is not my strongest talent. 😂

Sunny Studio Sunflower Fields

I mean look how amazing these sunflowers are! I used Altenew inks for my yellow colors since they come in packs of coordinating colors. That makes it super easy to layer stamp. I arranged the sunflowers around the border of my card and left just enough white space to stamp my sentiment.

These sunflowers look so real. The details on the petals are amazing. And even if you are slightly off when stamping it doesn’t matter. SOOOO stunning. Here is another angle so you can really see the details.

Thanks for stopping by today. If you want to see more inspiration on my blog make sure to click through the posts to get some inspiration for your next card. I have tutorials as well just click the tutorial link above to check them out. You can also find me on Youtube under my channel mzdanajoy.

Hey peeps. I’m so excited to share another Valentine’s Day Card Series for 2019. I have been doing these series for four years and I really enjoy it. If you have missed any of my previous card series, just head on over to my Youtube playlist. Making cards for me is a passion and sharing inspiration is my joy. You can also find card inspiration on my old blog httpss://gotjoycreations.blogspot.com. Shall we get started?

For my first card I’m still playing with the My Favorite Stamps January 2019 release. It was full of Valentine’s Day products and I just can’t get enough. I have a similar card from an earlier post using the Hearts Entwined die-namic however I did not have a tutorial for it so I decided to do one so you can quickly learn how to make a fast and easy Valentine’s Day card for your love ones. All the products that I used are listed below.

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.

MFT January 2019 Release – Straight From The Heart and Hearts Entwined Die-namics

January 11, 2019

Hey peeps. I’m back today sharing more of the MFT January 2019 release. Today’s cards are all about die-namics. You can make stunning cards with just die cuts and a simple sentiment. These kinds of cards are super easy to mass product in a variety to colors and designs. Let’s get started.

For my first card I used the Straight From The Heart die-namics (FREE with $60 purchase from MFT) along with the Sweet Stack 6×6 paper pad. On Wednesday I shared a post using the Sweet Stack paper pad on red fun foam. I used the left over paper to die cut out this heart. (NEVER let pretty paper go in the trash. 😉) For my arrow I used Blue Breeze card stock. I inserted my arrow through my heart and loaded on some glossy accents to the heart and set it aside to dry.

I used the inside out stitched square die-namic long with one of the pretty sheets of paper from the Sweet Stack paper pad to get my center piece and die cut it again with Blue Breeze to get my border piece. I stamped the sentiment from the Cutieasaurus stamp set in Wild Cherry onto Blue Breeze paper. Love the cute sentiments in this set and backed it with Wild Cherry card stock.

To add some whimsy to this card I popped my heart up on an action wobble. This way when the recipient receives it, they can have a little bit of fun with their new card.

For my second card, I kept it very clean and simple. I let the large Hearts Entwined die-namic do all the work for me. I die cut out the entwined hearts in wild cherry card stock and red glitter paper. I stacked the pieces together to give me a thicker embellishment. I used the stitched rectangle stax 2 to die cut out a piece of smooth white card stock and splatted it gold paint. Next I stamped the sentiment from the Wonderful Woodlands Friends stamp set on black cardstock and heat embossed it in white embossing powder.

I adhered the hearts entwined die cut onto the splattered gold panel and popped the sentiment up with foam dots. I adhered this panel to a 4.25″ x 5.50″ smooth white card base and that completed my card.

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll see you back here soon!
