Working My Green With A St. Patrick’s Day Deco Foil Birthday Card

Hey peeps.  I’m working my green today making a St. Patrick’s Day Deco Foil card.  My birthday is on St. Patrick’s day and it’s a special on this year because my twin and I are turning 50!  Yes we made it to this fabulous age and I couldn’t be happier.  You see when I turned 40 I was diagnosed with colon cancer.  It was the scariest time of my life and for my family.  We were so fortunate that the cancer was easily removed and I am almost 10 years cancer free.

Anyway back to the St. Patrick’s Day card for my sister. I started with a beautiful blend of distress oxide inks for my background.  Next I added some splattered gold splatter to the background as well.  Wanting to pull in some beautiful gold foil on my card, so I grabbed my deco foil foam adhesive sheets and foil sheets and got busy.

My completed card looked great with all the gold and green.  Perfect for St. Patrick’s Day. You can see more of the deco foil in action on this video I made during my holiday card series.

Valentine’s Day Card Series 2019 – Day 5 and a GIVEAWAY

Hey peeps.  I’m back with the final day of my Valentine’s Day Card Series 2019 and a giveaway.  And of course I have a tutorial today. I want to thank everyone who have commented on my blog and subscribed during this series.  I appreciate your kindness and support.  For my card today I did a little bit of ink blending inspired by Kristina Werner.

First I pulled out my my dried marigold, worn lipstick and seedless preserves oxide inks  to start blending that color on some 80 lb Neenah Solar White card stock.  I knew by using this color combination I would end up with a very pretty Valentine’s Day Card.

Next I stamped the top and bottom borders with the beautiful cascading hearts from the Concord and 9th Little Love Tags stamp set.  I heat embossed the hearts with white embossing powder.  I pulled out one of the sentiments in this stamp set and heat embossed it in white as well on the front of the card panel.

 

 

To finish up the card I placed this panel on a 110lb Neenah Solar White card base and added a few clear droplets to mimic additional water splashes.  I just love love, love how this card turned out.  You can easily mass produce this is card with so many pretty colors for Valentine’s Day.

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.

 

 

I will be giving away a $20 gift certificate to Concord & 9th so you too can make something special for your love ones.  It would be great if you followed me on my social media accounts listed below and leave me a comment letting me know how you show your loved one how much they mean to you.  Winner will be announced Sunday Feb 3rd on my Instagram page.

Valentine’s Day Card Series – Day 4 Simon Says Stamp

Hey peeps. It’s day 4 of my Valentine’s Day Card Series for 2019.  I swear these series go by so fast.  I feel like I just finished the one from last year.  If you missed that series be sure to check it out here.  I’ve been doing these series for a few years now and I love seeing how far I have come in my style and designs.  So let’s check out today’s card and video.

For my card today I used the Deco Hearts Wafer Dies from Simon Says Stamp.  The details on this die are so beautiful and it makes it so easy to emboss with it.  Then you also get an outline die which is perfect to cut this out or use as a solid die cut. If you are looking for a fantastic set of tiny sentiments you must check out the Simon Says Stamp You Got This stamp set.  I am in ❤️ with this stamp set.  The positive words and inspirational sentiments are just awesome.  Perfect for sending to family and friends.
