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.

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.

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.

So what cha think? Is ombre ink backgrounds a quick way for you to make your holiday cards. Leave a comment with the color combinations you would use. I’m also looking to do another card in masculine tones like shades of gray or brown. Have a great day everyone and I’ll see you back here tomorrow.

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.
