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.

 

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.

Thanks for stopping by today.  I hope you’ve been enjoying the series so far.  Make sure to hop over to my previous Valentine’s Day Card Series over on my channel.  Just click my playlist.  Remember if you are inspired by the tutorials make sure to subscribe to the channel and hit that bell so you will be notified when I post new videos.

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.

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.

Simple Stenciling with glitz glitter gel

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.

Easy Valentine’s Day Cards – Sally and Sherman The Skunks

February 12, 2019

Hey peeps.  Sharing easy Valentine’s Day cards with the new Sally and Sherman The Skunks stamp set.  This stamp set is just darling for Valentine’s Day cards.  It has adorable images and great sentiments.  You can also purchase the Sally and Sherman The Skunks coordinating crafting dies to go long with the stamps. If you missed my blog hop post check it out here.

For my card today I colored my images with Copic markers and I created a card base with a cute little scene for my little skunks to hang out on.  Keeping the card very clean and simple allowed me to showcase my images and sentiment better.  I die cut out the sentiment using one of the Oval Stitched Label dies.  I made sure to pop up my sentiment and skunks to give my card some dimension.  And voila my card was complete.  This will be a cute set to use for those quick Valentine’s Day cards.

 

I mean look how adorable these images are.  They are super easy to use for Copics, watercolor markers or pencils.  You can totally get creative with this little guys.

 

 

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

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

February 1, 2019

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