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.

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.

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.

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.
