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.

Simple Stenciling – Valentine’s Day Card Series 2020 Day 1

January 13, 2020

Hey everyone. I have some simple stenciling with glitz glitter gel for day 1 of the Valentine’s Day Card Series for 2020. This series run for one week and I get the chance to share my take on Valentine’s Day card. Really most of these cards, you can totally give to someone even if it’s not this holiday.

For my card I’m using supplies by Thermoweb, Gina K Designs and Simple Stories. These products work beautiful together. I kept today’s card on the simpler side so you can easy mass produce this card in multiple colors.

I love the tricks-color combination on this card. Remember if you want to keep your card really simple, just use one color. I think using a combination of glitz glitter gel just adds a little more interest to the card. Remember, its your design, go with what makes you happy.

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

December 10, 2019

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.

Holiday Card Series – Day 19 Pink & Main and Therm-O-Web Collaboration

December 5, 2019

Hey everyone. I’m your host for today and I’m sharing a card for the Pink & Main/Thermoweb Collaboration. This is the perfect time of the year to pull products from different companies and pair them together to make beautiful holiday cards. In my tutorial you will be how simple it is to create amazing cards with very little sweat and tears. The Pink & Main and Therm-O-Web collaboration has so much inspiration to share.

Pink & Main/Thermoweb

For my card I pulled out all the pretty that I could find in my craft room. I love the simplicity of this card but also all the sparkle it shows. Just a few steps to this card and you something so pretty.

Pink & Main/Thermoweb

Let’s get into the tutorial. Remember, I have listed all the products below for your shopping convenience.

And of course I have a bonus card for you today. Since I live in Florida I just had to make a card using Pink and Main’s Deck The Palms stamp set. This is usually what Christmas looks like for us Floridians. LOL I know I’m rubbing it in just a little to my cold weather friends. 😉 For my card today I used purple tape from Thermoweb to tape off my card so I could create the sand and the water. I used Distress oxide inks in tea tea dye, tumbled glass and mermaid lagoon. To create the waves, I used my white gelly roll pen.

Pink & Main/Thermoweb

I did simple Copic colors on the images and used the coordinating dies to cut them out. Next I stamped my sentiment onto the sand and water panel with black ink. To pop up my palm tress I used cut out strips adhesive foam from Thermoweb. I love that double sided foam.

Pink & Main/Thermoweb

Of course I needed to add just a touch of sparkle. I pulled out some flat back sequins and adhered them to the card panel with ultra bond adhesive from Therm O Web.
