Valentine’s Day Card Series 2019 – Day 2 Nuvo Gilding Flakes

Hey peeps.  Today is Day 2 of my Valentine’s Day Card Series for 2019.  I’m super excited to share this tutorial with you today.  I had been requested to make a masculine card for one of my cards this year and to use Tonic Nuvo Gilding Flakes.  So I combined these request and came up with this card. I made sure not to use the traditional Valentine’s Day colors of pink, red and white.  Something about this Flowing Heart stencil for Altenew reminded me of flames so I choose to use mustard seed, carved pumpkin and candied red distress oxide inks for my card.  I will also show you how to use the Nuvo gilding flakes without having to use glue.

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.

Pink and Main Perfect Couple

Hey peeps.  Welcome back to another Pink and Main post.  Today I’m sharing the newly released Perfect Couple stamp set and coordinating Perfect Couple dies.  This is such a cute stamp set for anniversary cards or even Valentine’s Day.  I colored the two bears with the same colors to keep the card clean and simple and not too busy with a ton of color.  I mentioned before I always pick out my paper before I color and today’s paper is from the new Watercolor Foil paper pad from Pink and Main.  Once my bears were colored I die cut them out with the coordinating dies.  I did use an x-acto knife to trim out a little more of the white area then the die does.  It’s just my preference and is not necessary at all to do.

 

 

Next I die cut out three fish tails with the Thin Fish Tails dies from Pink and Main from the watercolor foil paper pad.  I LOVE this paper pad with it’s foil hearts.  It’s sooo pretty.  I layered the banners one on top of each other shifting them a little to the right on each one.  The first one is adhered directly to the card base and the others are popped up on foam dots.  I stamped the sentiment from the stamp set onto the card base using Riverwalk ink from Pink and Main.  All that was left was to add the image.  Once I did that I decided to add one of the new rose gold heart glossy dots between the two bears.

Valentine’s Day Card Series 2019 – Day 1 My Favorite Things

Hey peeps.  I’m so excited to share another Valentine’s Day Card Series for 2019.  I have been doing these series for four years and I really enjoy it.  If you have missed any of my previous card series, just head on over to my Youtube playlist.  Making cards for me is a passion and sharing inspiration is my joy.  You can also find card inspiration on my old blog https://gotjoycreations.blogspot.com. Shall we get started?

For my first card I’m still playing with the My Favorite Stamps January 2019 release.  It was full of Valentine’s Day products and I just can’t get enough.  I have a similar card from an earlier post using the Hearts Entwined die-namic however I did not have a tutorial for it so I decided to do one so you can quickly learn how to make a fast and easy Valentine’s Day card for your love ones.  All the products that I used are listed below.

Pink And Main Sneak Peek – Life Is A Circus

Hey peeps.  I’m sharing a sneak peek with you today.  Pink and Main’s release will be on Sunday Jan 20 and I can’t wait for you to see this release.  It’s absolutely FULL of new products to include stamps, paper, gems, etc.  So let me show you the card I made with the Life Is A Circus  stamps and coordinating Life Is A Circus die cuts.

 

First let me say these little circus animals are just too precious.  I colored each image with Copic markers and die cut them out with the coordinating dies.  Next I pulled out the Pink and Main Spring Fling paper pad and cut out a strip of paper to add to the bottom of a white card base.  To keep the animals from not getting lost on the white card base, I added a strip of navy card stock for them to play on.  I used the silver glossy dots and colored them with Copic markers so they matched my animals stunt pieces.  Lastly I rounded the top two corners of my card base and my card was complete.

 

 

 

 

Thanks for stopping by today.  I’m at Creativation this year and I hope to be able to post some of the excitement going on there.  Head on over to the Pink and Main blog to check out what other projects are featured today.

Heading To Creativation 2019

Hey peeps.  I’m so excited to be going to Creativation again this year.  This will be my third year attending and I’m so blessed that I can.  If you are unfamiliar with what Creativation is, it’s the Craft and Hobby Association trade show.  This is where companies share their new products to the industry.  Gina K Designs, Heffy Doodlebug Designs, Altenew, and Pink and Main are just a few of the companies that had booths this year.  I also get to see my crafty friends and take a few classes.

This craft community is great for making friends and building lasting relationships with companies.  Since last year I have worked with so many great companies because I had the chance to meet the owners live and in person.  It makes my heart happy to know that this community has the best energy to make my paper crafting easy to do.

 

Here are a few pictures from last year.  I have over 200 pictures so I can’t share them all here.  😉
