Pretty Pink Posh Autumn Wreath

Hey peeps.  I've playing in the Pretty Pink Posh Autumn Wreath.  I absolutely love this beautiful stamp set.  It is perfect for autumn inspired cards.  As you can tell I've been all over the fall cards lately.  LOL

I have two cards for you today.  One I have a tutorial for and the other I just wanted to share with you.  Let me show you the first card that I made for the tutorial.  This card I kept clean and simple using distress inks, the Pretty Pink Posh Autumn Wreath stamp and some embossing powder.

Okay here is the 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.

Here is my other card I created using fadeout ink from InkOn3 and my polychromo color pencils.  I had such a relaxing time coloring this card.  I also kept this card clean and simple by repeating a similar background like my first card and adding just a few gems to the card panel.

Thanks so much for hanging out with me today.  Make sure to swing by here tomorrow as it's World Cardmaking Day.  I'll be participating in a blog hop and you'll have a chance to win a gift certificate.  I'll see you guys back here soon!

Technique Tuesday October Release

Hey peeps.  It's Technique Tuesday October Release!!  Woot woot.  This month is filled with so amazing products.  I hope you had a chance to check out the sneak peeks the team has been sharing for the last two days on the Technique Tuesday blog.  If you missed my sneak peeks you can check them out here on Sneak Peek Day 1 and Sneak Peek Day 2 blog posts.

Today I'm sharing all the pre Thanksgiving love with the Happy Thanksgiving stamp set and the Turkey and Pie crafting dies. I don't know what it was but when I saw these dies I knew I wanted to make a table scene with them.  I hand drew the table cloth and table first with a pencil and ruler.  Next I made my table cloth look like plaid with a few Sharpies and my ruler.  For the table I used my Copic markers to make it look like wood.

I die cut out pieces in several different colors of paper to match the "food" I needed.  I used colored card stock to cut out the serving dishes. For the pie I cut it out in white and then used some Copic markers to make my crust.  Next I used the Happy Thanksgiving stamp set of stamp out my greetings on brown card stock and heat embossed it in white.  All that was left was to set my table.

Okay peeps.  The release is now live and ready for purchase.  So head on over to the Technique Tuesday store to pick up your goodies.  Please use the links below for your convenience.  I really appreciate your support of using my affiliate links.  See you guys back here soon.

Technique Tuesday Sneak Peek Day 1

Hey peeps.  It's Technique Tuesday sneak peek day 1.  It's the end of the month and it's the build up to release day for Technique Tuesday.  Today I'm sharing the Henrietta The Hedgehog stamp set and coordinating crafting dies.  This stamp set is just too cute for fall.  And how stinking' cute is that hedgehog. Squeal I just want to pet her.  

For my card today I stamped out the images in no-line ink and colored them with Copic markers plus a little bit of color pencil to add some depth to the images.  Next on a card base I stenciled in some soft clouds, stamped the sentiment and added a glassy hill with some cute grass paper.  Lastly I popped all the colored image with foam tape on the card to create a cute little scene.  

How darn precious is Henrietta?  I know I'm a little obsessed with this little cutie.  The tress in this stamp set really let you create your own style with having a large open area to color.  

Thanks for swinging by today.  Make sure to swing by everyone's blog to see their gorgeous creations.  All products will be available for purchase October 1, 2018.  Links below will not work until then.  Thanks in advance for using my affiliate links. See you back here tomorrow for another sneak peek.

Simon Says Stamp September 2018 Card Kit

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!

Altenew Bountiful Branch

Hey peeps.  I'm back with a quick post.  I purchased the Altenew Bountiful Branch stamp set this month and I've fallen hard for it.  I was a little bit nervous at first to use a layering stamp set but this one is so easy to use and make beautiful cards.  I shared a live broadcast on Periscope putting this card together and the color combinations I used.  I can see it by clicking the link.

These cards were so easy to make and the color variations are limitless.  

I highly suggest you pick up this stamp set for it's ease of use for your holiday cards.  Have a great day everyone.  I'll see you back here soon.

Fall Leaves With Hero Arts

Hey peeps.  I'm still in the fall mood.  I pulled back out my Hero Arts Textured Leaves stamp set and played around with the Hero Arts ombre ink pads for my card today.

I have to say this is my favorite fall card this year.  I love using these ombre ink pads to create fall leaves.  You achieve such a beautiful look with them.

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.

Hero Arts Texture Leaves

Hey peeps.  Happy Friday.  So glad you stopped by today. I'm sharing a new fall card featuring the Hero Arts Texture Leaves stamp set.  Fall/Autumn is one of my favorite seasons.  I love the changing colors of the leaves and the cooler weather.  Here in Florida I don't get to see much of that so I live through my fall cardmaking.  LOL

For today's cards I also paired it with the Gold Rush embossing powder from Ink On 3.  This is my go to gold now!  I love that it's not brassy or yellowy like some embossing powders.  It melts like butter too. I kept this card very clean and simple.  Just did the embossing and a few white dots from my gelly roll pen.

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.

Fall Distress Oxide Ink Backgrounds

Hey everyone.  Happy Friday.  I'm so ready for fall here in Florida.  Ready for the cooler weather (well cool for Florida 😂) and adding a cute little sweater to my wardrobe.  Since I can't have fall right now I decided to share with you some of my favorite fall color combinations using distress oxide inks.  Creating fall distress oxide ink backgrounds is super easy and they make wonderful card panels.

Here are two cards that I made using my new makeup brushes (see last Monday's post to check these out) and my go-to fall colors.  For my first card I used fossilized amber, squeezed lemonade, spiced marmalade and ripe persimmon.

For this card I used antique linen, wild honey and peeled paint.  Anytime you create a distress oxide background and you don't know what you want to do with it, just hold onto it.  Inspiration to use it may come later.

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.

Have a great weekend everyone.  See you back here on Monday.
