Simon Says Stamp Season Of Wonder

October 5, 2023

Welcome to the blog everyone. Today I am participating in the Simon Stamp Season Of  Wonder release. I’m super excited to share this card with you today. Scene cards are really difficult for me to create, however with a little masking I was successful.

I started off my stamping the little girl with her stack of presents on the left side of the card. Next, I stamped the bundle of presents to the right of my panel. Now it was time to mask off these areas. Pulling out my masking sheets, I stamped and fussy cut out the girl and the bundle of presents. Using the masks, I covered up these two areas and then stamped my tree. Once the masking paper was removed, it was time to color.

The Copic markers are I used today are the following:

E11, E 13, E15, E39, E50
R46, R59, R81, R83, RV34
BG13, BG49
YG23, YG67, YG99
Y26, Y28
W4, W6, W7

Now that coloring was complete, I hand drew in the floor for my images and colored with Copic markers. For a little bit of texture, I pulled out a light beige Copic marker to make faux wallpaper. To top off my tree I stamped the star, colored it in with my Copic markers and fussy cut it. I use double sided foam to adhere it to the top of the tree. And lastly, I stand the large Christmas sentiment at the top of the card, and also stamped a sub sentiment which I fussy cut out.

I hope you enjoy this card as much as I do! Here’s to starting off those holiday cards for this year. It’s time now to fill up your cart with products from the Simon Says Stamp Season of Wonder release.Thanks for stopping by today and I’ll see you back here soon.

Happy Gnomes

September 11, 2023

Hey everyone. I have a card using the Hero Arts Happy Gnomes stamp set. These gnomes are absolutely adorable. Within the stamp set you will have a few gnomes to play with as well as a few accent pieces.

Happy Gnomes

For a cute love in the forest, I paired the stamp set with the Hero Arts Woodlands Forest Stencil  and ink blending cool colors of  Hero Arts Sand and Espresso. To pull your eye to the coloring and stencil, I used the Hero Arts Infinity Arches dies. The arches give this card a different vibe compared to a circle or square.

We are heading into fall so I’ve been using a cooler color palette with Hero Arts Cherry and Woodland cardstock. Now I might not keep that up but for now it’s my jam.The cardbase is Hero Arts Side Folded card.

To color up these images, I used my Copic markers. Copic colors were kept to a minimum to keep the card towards the cooler palette. Leave a comment below if you would like the colors I used. I haven’t colored up many images lately so it was a great time to use them. The Happy Gnomes stamp set is ready for your shopping card. Links to all the products used are below. See ya back here soon.

Mix Media Valentine Card – Valentine’s Day Card Series Day 2

January 18, 2022

Hey everyone. Welcome back to day two of the series. We are working on mix media valentine cards. Mix media really scares me for some reason, however in today’s tutorial I’m going to embrace it the best way I know how. Ink and water will do the trick. The term mix media is really just using different mediums to create something pretty. So that can be anything from ink to paint to glitter. As long as you have at least two different mediums, you have mix media. Really simple right.

I’m using Hero Arts Hero Hues today as I know they work well with water and create beautiful cards. As I was working on this card I really loved how I was able to create texture without using any thing more than the ink, water and a piece of acetate. I paired up the pretty background with a bold print stamp, a few dies and a simple sentiment.

 

Mix Media Valentine Cards

The soft color of the background works so well with the lines of the Hero Arts Chained Linked Fence Bold Print stamp. Also the Chain Link Fancy Die is the perfect addition to the card for a little bit of raised texture.

Adding a touch of silver to my card with silver matte cardstock for my lock from the Locks Fancy die set from Hero Arts as my center piece on my card. Pulling in all the ink colors for my sentiment keeps my color palette flowing.

I have a couple bonus cards for you as well to show you how else you can use the color palette. This simple colored gradient heart made from Hero Arts glitter cardstock, Hero Arts Infinity Hearts die and the same color inks I used for my background take on a totally different look.  Keeping the background simple with an embossing folder makes the heart stand out even more.

 

 

And why not use one more medium today. I pulled out my Copic markers to color in this adorable image from Woodware Craft Collection called Valentine Gnome. I have to say, I’m pretty smitten with this card. The Copic makers colors used are:

 

E11, E13
R32, R43
BG02, BG07
Rv13, RV21
Rv19, RV99
T3, T5, T7
Prismacolor Pencils for added depth

Create A Focal Point For Your Cards Tutorial

August 10, 2021

Hey everyone.  I have a quick tutorial for you sharing how to create a focal point for your cards. Sometimes when we make a card, we want one area to shine more than the other. Keeping your panel back and white with just a pop of color helps to achieve this look.

Hero Arts Better Together

 

Keeping most of the images white it allowed me to draw your eye into the center focal point on the card.

 

 

 

Simple coloring also made the card come together rather quickly.

 

Here is the tutorial to create a focal point on your card. You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy.

I’ve linked all the products below for your shopping ease. I hope you enjoy the video and if you have any questions, please let them in the comment and I’ll be glad to answer them for you.  Have a great day and I’ll see you back here soon.

Hero Arts Bunch Of Balloons Birthday Card

June 23, 2021

Hey everyone. I’m back sharing some quick and easy birthday cards using the Hero Arts Bunch Of Balloons Stamp set and the coordinating Bunch Of Balloons Fancy Cut.  Having extra birthday cards on hand are a must in my house. I always seem to need one when I least expect it.

The Bunch of Balloons stamp set pairs perfectly with the Hero Arts Birthday Balloons Bold Print background stamp. I created two cards in different color palettes using just my Copic markers as my coloring medium. Keeping the background just black and white or gray and white lets the balloons really pop!

 

The Copics I used from this card were R08, YR04, Y35, B04, N2 and N3. The colored cardsock is Hero Arts Cherry.

For this card the following Copics were used R20, R43, BG11, BG34, Coo and Co1. The color cardstock is Hero Arts Paradise.

 

 

For the next few days I will share more inspiration for quick and easy birthday cards right here on the blog. All products when posted will be available in the Hero Arts shop via the links below until they are out of stock.  Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here tomorrow.

Today marks the last day of my holiday card series Today marks the last day of my holiday card series for 2024. Thank you all for your support of watching the videos. You support of my little channel really matters. You can catch the tutorial over on my Youtube channel. 

I used the @simonsaysstamp Old Fashioned Christmas stamps and diecuts. My husband is a fan of old fashions so#cardtutorial  this was the perfect Christmas card for him.  I did a light watercoloring over the images and used the beautiful Simon Says Stamp Basket Weave embossing folder for the background. I do love a clean white on white card. 

I'll be sharing a few more cards in the coming days. These cards I didn't have time to film but I hope you will enjoy the inspiration.
