Hey everyone. There is no stamping required for day 8 of the holiday card series. Clean and simple with die cutting is the way we are mass producing this cards. Grab yourself a funky holiday tree and a simple sentiment and you can assemble your trees and sentiments while watching the Sunday football games. (Just sayin' for all my football fans this is multi tasking at it's finest 😉) I'm using the Simon Says Stamp Deco Tree and sentiment dies for my card today.

Hey peeps. Happy Friday. Today is Day 3 of my Holiday Card Series for 2018. I'm super excited to share this card with you today as I love everything that is sparklie and embossed. So let's see what's in store for you today.
I'm playing with some Nuvo glitter paste and Comic Shimmer Metallic Gilding Polish. Using these two products together helps to create beautiful cards. You can use any stencil of your liking with these products just make sure to clean your stencil off immediately after use as well as your palette knife.
I mean look at this sparkle!! Using this stencil really allowed me to keep this card simple but achieve a dramatic look all at once. Keeping the sentiment simple with the Scripty Xmas stamp set from Mama Elephant is the way to go with this kind of design.

Hey peeps. Happy Monday. I have a tutorial for you today featuring the Pretty Pink Posh Pumpkin Patch Critters. These little critters are so precious. I'm also using Copic markers in the tutorial. I don't do a lot of coloring videos so this is a treat for me. I really love coloring however I always get nervous to film the process. I don't know why. It's the crazies thing. I'm going to try and do it more often to share the process with all of you.
For the background I used the Simon Says Stamp Mod Stripe stencil. OMG I LOVE this stencil. It makes perfect backgrounds and I LOVE the mod feel of it! I'll be using this on a bunch of cards as it's never leaving my desk. 😂
For my Copic colors and ink colors I used the following:
Copic Markers
Pumpkin: Y17, YR07, YR18, E25, E27
Fox: YR27, E19, E37, E00, E000
Squirrel: W1, W3, W5, W7

Hey peeps. I have a new tutorial using the Simon Says Stamp October 2018 Card Kit. (unfortunately it's already sold out 😔) This kit is full of gorgeous products you can use with alcohol inks, foiling or just general stamping. The SSS October card kit is perfect for fall inspired cards.
So let me show you the card I made today. I used the three colors of alcohol inks that came in the kit along with the yupo paper. If you aren't sure what yupo paper is, it's a synthetic plastic paper that allows inks to move freely on the paper to great amazing projects. I've used alcohol inks in the past several times and you can see my simple alcohol ink background card and my alcohol ink background tutorial by clicking the links.
Using the stamp that came in the kit along with alcohol ink lift off ink (by the way is SOOO cool) I created this amazing card. Using the inks, ink pad and stamp set you can make so many beautiful cards.
Here's a quick tutorial. You can watch it here or over at my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. I did not use affiliate links due to this product being out of stock.
Thanks for stopping by today. Make sure to come back tomorrow for sneak peeks of the Technique Tuesday October 2018 release. See ya then!
Hey peeps. I'm participating in the distress it challenge on Simon Says Stamp and the sketch challenge over at My Favorite Things. I loved both of these challenges this week so why not combine the right? 😉
I used some pretty distress inks and a beautiful stencil from Simon Says Stamp. I also used the pierced stacked circle and the hello dies from My Favorite Things.
Thanks for stopping by today. I'll see you back here tomorrow with a video sharing some of my favorite holiday and border die cuts.
Hey peeps. Happy Friday. I'm back with another tutorial using one of the center cut background stamps from Simon Says Stamp. This one is the Center Cut Flowers. If you've missed my video using the Center Cut Burst tutorial you can find it here.
For my card today I used just the inside of the flower to make a final Mother's Day card. The center part of this background stamp really kept the focus on the beautiful cluster of flowers. I used a simple mother sentiment from the Altnew Penned Rose stamp set and just a few sequin to finish off my card.
For my coloring medium I'm using the Arteza Real Brush Pens today. I love using these watercolor pens as it makes coloring very easy and relaxing. I was dealing with a wicked migraine so really need something to focus on to ease the pain.
Here's the tutorial on how this card was created. 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.
