Pixel Grid Your Valentine’s Day Cards – Valentine’s Day Card Series Day 1

January 17, 2022

Hey everyone. Today is the start of the Valentine’s Day Card Series. The tutorial today is showing you how to use the Ink Blot Shop’s Pixel Grid with Pixel Grid Masks stencils. I think this stencil pack is soo very cool. I paired this stencil with the Sentiment Label Blocks stamp set. The color palette is chocolate with a splash of red and pink. There is also a bonus card using the same color palette with Copic markers.

Here is the card I made using the Ink Blot Shop Happy Mail Heart with Copic markers. The color palette is still the same just the medium has changed. The Copic makers I used for this card were R35, R46, R11, R21, E25, E27 and W02. I used the same Distress Oxide colors for the sentiments

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

Thanks for stopping by today. I’ll be back tomorrow with another tutorial and color palette. Have a great day everyone.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero January 2022

January 10, 2022

Hey everyone. I can’t believe that 2021 is already over and we are starting a new year. The Hero Arts My Monthly Hero January 2022 is a perfect kickoff for a very unique kit! You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. For my card today I have a quick tutorial sharing how to make a sweet moon-lit silhouette card. But first here is a look a the kit.

The kit includes the following

• 6″ x 8″ Clear Stamp Set
• 3 Coordinating Frame Cuts
• 4.25″ x 5.5″ Fancy Cover Plate Die
• 1 Key Fancy Die
• 4 Ink Cubes (Key Lime Fizz, Taffy, Green Apple, Cup O’ Joe)
• Red Iridescent Gems

Kit Value: $80
Kit Cost: $34.99

Pre-order your kit today – we estimate kit shipping will begin Friday, January 14th and continue throughout the following week.

This card came together rather quickly using just the stamp set from this month’s kit. Within the kit there are layering stamps that create a beautiful tree branch with stunning leaves. However for my card I just used black inks to achieve this moonlit scene.

By using two types of black ink, I was able to create some depth in the image. Also by adding just a touch a navy the moon looks even brighter.

Below is the tutorial for the card. You can also watch it over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. There are affiliate links used at no cost to you.

We will give away a $50 gift card, drawn from the comments left across the hop. Enter by Sunday, January 16th at 11:59pm Pacific, and the winner will be announced on the Hero Arts blog the following week. Next on the hop is Daniel. I hope you enjoyed your visit today and I’ll see you back here soon.

Hey everyone. Day 9 is here of the Holiday Card Series. I’m featuring products from Scrapbook.com. By using the Ink Combos Guide, I will show you how to use the colors from the guide with paper instead of inks. Remember the combo guide is a reference of colors that work well together. So if you limited on your inks and how a ton of cardstock, you that instead. Let’s check out the cards.

The first card is featuring the Scrapbook.com Christmas Foliage stamp set. This is a slimline stamp set perfect for filling up a card panel. The color palette today is number 10 in the guide.

Now my second card, I pulled the same colors in cardstock to create my color palette. By using the slimline cardstock paper pads from Scrapbook.com I was able to create the card without using any inks as my color. You’ll see just how easy this card was to create in the tutorial.

You can watch the tutorial here or over on my Youtube channel. All product used are listed below.

Hey everyone. Welcome back to the Holiday Card Series 2021. We are on day 8 and the products today are from Waffle Flower. Today I felt like a little ink blending and a cover plate die would be a great match up. Using distress oxide inks with the Waffle Flower Poinsettia Cover Die help me make a stunning card.

This color palette is number 5 in the Ink Combos Guide! Love the non-traditional colors this creates for a holiday card.

My second card I used the same color palette however I switched up the stamp set. This time I used the Snowflake Background Stencil from Waffle Flower. Look how gorgeous those snowflakes are. The sentiments used on both cards are from the Waffle Flower Wonderful Christmas stamp set and coordinating dies.
