Save The Crafty Youtuber Video Hop

March 25, 2020

Hey everyone. I know I have been missing in action but I’m back for the Save The Crafty Youtuber Video Hop. There are so many amazing people who share their creativeness on Youtube. I’m so thrilled to participate again this year in the Save The Crafty YouTuber Video hop. Let’s get started.

For my card today I used products from Waffle Flower and Heffy Doodle. This was a super easy card to pull together and can be changed up to so many color combinations. I kept mine to very spring like colors since it’s pretty warm here in Florida.

Now let me give you a heads up. I had to record this video THREE times. My computer decided not to play nicely with me and since the Apple stores are closed during this time, I had to record it multiple times to get it to export correctly. After five plus hours on the phone with Apple, I switched to creating the video on my phone and I was successful with an upload. (A lot of wine was involved to keep my nerves down). 😂

Watercoloring With Color Pencil Accents – Valentine’s Day Card Series 2020 Day 4

January 16, 2020

Hey everyone. Did you know watercoloring with color pencil accents can make your coloring pop? It’s the perfect way to add depth to your images with very little effort. Also the new Atelier inks from Ink On 3 are the perfect medium of this technique.

As you will see in the video these inks are vibrant however they can also be muted down just by adding more water. Also watercoloring and adding color pencil over the top keep you from overworking a painting. I think you will really enjoy exploring this option when coloring.

Working on cold press watercolor paper can be challenging for some. Adding just a touch of color pencil helps to define the lines of your images a little better.

So what do you think? Would you give this technique a try? Let me know in the comments below if you have any questions. Thanks for stopping by today. See you back here for Day 5 tomorrow.

Chain Link Hearts – Valentine’s Day Card Series 2020 Day 3

January 15, 2020

Hey everyone. I’m back sharing a rainbow chain link hearts card. This card was so much fun to make. The cards I’m creating are easy to recreate and mass produce. Especially if you are making them for class mates or teachers.

For today’s card I pulled out ink pads in rainbow colors to create the chain link hearts for my card panel. If you can’t get your hands on Catherine Pooler inks you can definitely use other inks in the same color family.

Using just a touch of black really makes the card. If you prefer not to use black a simple color from the rainbow inspired chain link hearts would work as well. Also a pretty said of light gray would be a very cooling choice. Remember this card is customizable to your liking.

Ombre Ink Backgrounds – Valentine’s Day Card Series 2020 Day 2

January 14, 2020

Hey everyone Ombre Ink backgrounds for Valentine’s Day cards? Yes please!! Using different color inks or an ombre ink pad helps you to be colorful when you make your Valentine’s Day cards this year.

My card was super easy to make and I can see all the color options with this easy technique. Remember when picking your colors, make sure the colors will blend nicely. You don’t want any colors that will make “mud”. Unless that’s the look you are going for.

Like I say in the video, inks will stain this stamp set however it will not decrease the quality of the stamp. You can use stamp cleaner on these stamps as well as baby wipes to remove any ink residue.

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.

So what cha think? Is ombre ink backgrounds a quick way for you to make your holiday cards. Leave a comment with the color combinations you would use. I’m also looking to do another card in masculine tones like shades of gray or brown. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here tomorrow.
