Holiday Card Series 2022 Day 5: Stencils and A Background Stamp

November 21, 2022

Hey everyone. Welcome to day 5 of the Holiday Card Series for 2022 and we are using stencils and a background stamp to make our cards today. I love, love, love how these cards came out.

By using a word stencil, a background stamp and a stencil with open areas, these cards came out amazing. I also made sure to start with colored cardstock to make ink blending a breeze.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero October 2022

October 3, 2022

I’m sooo excited to you all the see the Hero Arts My Monthly Hero for October 2022. This kit not only has the large 6X8 stamp set and coordinating dies, you are also getting a great cling stamp to use as well. You should have arrived here from Channin’s blog. Let’s get into the kit.

Winter has come, direct from the North Pole! The October My Monthly Kit features a darling 6” x 8” stamp set with everything you need to build a magical scene, right down to Santa’s sleigh. The coordinating dies cut out everything in the stamp set, including the messages. There’s a cling background stamp for adding falling snow, and we’ve included two types of white ink to allow you to experiment with different techniques! The kit is rounded out with some gorgeous papers.

• Clear Stamp Set, 6″ x 8″
• 19 Coordinating Frame Cuts
• Snow Dots Cling Stamp, 4.625″ x 5.875″
• 2 Ink Cubes (White Reactive & Unicorn Pigment)
• 2 Sheets of Diamond Glitter Paper, 5.5″ x 8.5″
• 2 Sheets of Snow Glow Cardstock, 5.5″ x 8.5″
• 2 Sheets of Lapis Cardstock, 5.5″ x 8.5″

Kit Value: $79
Kit Cost: $34.99

For my card using this month’s kit, red and gold was my go to color combination. I think red and gold cards are so striking. Making cards is a simple palette really allows for the design to come to life. Mixing up my mediums too by using Hero Arts Gold Wax and Hero Arts Gold Embossing Powder.

Hero Arts My Monthly Hero October 2022

By pulling just a few pieces from the kit, I was able to create this stunning card. Remember I said that keeping a simple color palette makes a card really shine.

 

 

I have a tutorial for you using the kit to show you just how easy this card came together.

You can watch the video here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. Affiliate inks have been used at no cost to you.

Now for a card using the Sprinkled Dots stencil from the add-ons for this month. For this card, I started by taping off three sections on the card. To add color to this piece, I used Pan Pastels in Permanent Red Shade, Rich Gold and Permanent Green Extra Dark. Once I removed the tape, I used the Hero Arts Sprinkled Dots stencil with Hero Arts Gold and White Paste. This created a lovely background.

Pulling in a earthly element, I decided to place this panel on a Hero Arts Sand Side Folding Card. For the sentiment, I pulled out the Very Merry Christmas Cover Plate. By using just the letter from the die, I was able to get a large sentiment for my card. The sentiment has some weight to it as I stacked each letter three times finishing off with the top letter being in Hero Arts White Glitter Paper.

This was truly an easy and beautiful card to put together.

Next on the hop is Daniel. Make sure to leave comments along the way for your chance to win a $50 gift certificate to Hero Arts. Have a great week everyone.

Gina K Designs Guest Designer

February 25, 2021

Hey hey peeps. I’m super excited to be Gina K Designs Guest Designer this month. I simply adore Gina and her amazing team. Gina’s products are some of the prettiest in the craft community and she is one heck of a sweet and caring human being.

My card is featuring the Some Bunny stamp set and coordinating dies. Oh this stamp set truly reminds me of Easter. I remember getting my Easter basket each year and couldn’t wait to dig into the jelly beans, marshmallow Peeps and colorful Easter eggs.  This stamp set brings me back to a sweet time in my life. This card was so much fun to make with all the bright and happy colors inks from Gina K. Designs.

 

Using all the eggs, I stamped them in rainbow of colors on my card for my card. Diecutting them out helped to create a border on my card. I also sponged on a fun circle background using the Rina K Designs Sending Sunshine stencil in the same colors of ink.

Stamping a simple sentiment down the middle of my card kept my card colorful and bright. I love layering bright colored cards on black cardstock. It just makes the color pop even more.

 

For a bit of added interest I pulled out some colorful jewels in matching colors for a little bit of sparkle on my card.  Make sure to head on over to the Gina K. Designs blog to see more of the more inspiration from the release.  Thank you Gina for giving me the chance to be a guest designer for this release. I’ll be back with another card tomorrow from the release. Have a great day everyone.

Simon Says Stamp Love You Release

December 9, 2020

Hey everyone.  It’s the Simon Says Stamp Love You Release. The cards I’m sharing today feature products from the release. I’m thrilled by my cards this month as the products so fit me.

My first card I used the With All My Love die cut. This is such a pretty font for such a beautiful die. I paired it with the Splendid Leaves Circle Frame Embossing Folder. Having such a pretty embossing folder there is no need to add much to your card panel.

I ran the embossing fold through my die cutting machine with vellum and gold card stock. Layering the vellum on top of the gold card stock really made the details of the folder come through perfectly. And it muted the gold card stock so the shine wasn’t overwhelming.

I added just a touch of shimmer pen to the letters and covered the sentiment die with glossy accents.

My next card features the stunning Boho Circle stencil and the Love Greetings Mix stamp set. I used Concord and 9th inks for this card and Gina K Designs Glitz Glitter Gel. The inks I started with were Ballet Slipper, Honeysuckle and Cranberry.  The glitz glitter gel totally transformed the ink into a softer color palette. LOVE LOVE LOVE how that turned out.  I truly can’t believe the color shift of the inks.

Simon says Stamp Love you Release

Once the background dried, I trimmed the panel down. Stamping out just a simple sentiment from the Love Greeting Mix stamp set in Sorbet ink also from Concord & 9th my card was coming together quickly. I layered my stenciled piece onto Sorbet card stock and adhered everything to a white card base.  For added dimension, I popped up the sentiment with foam dots.
