Season Giving Blog Hop and a Tutorial

Happy 2018 peeps!! I'm excited to be participating again in the Seasons Giving blog hop. Can you believe it's been six years already since the lovey Latisha started this blog hop? I honored to be able to participate again this year. But I have to say WOW 😮 where did 2017 go? Looking back it's been a rollercoaster of a ride. I've had some super exciting thrills of highs and some deeply worrisome lows however they were all worth the ride in order to grow and live. Living and learning is an experience that never gets old because it beats the alternative (death and misunderstanding). ☺️ I've learned that letting go of negativity takes time and enjoying silence can be scary. I've also learned to stop looking for the "right" version of me and to love me just the way I am. That can be difficult and enlightening all at the same time. And lastly... being KIND and true to yourself always wins.
I'm ending 2017 sipping champagne and bringing in the New Year with the love of my life. The man I loved ever since third grade. I managed to get in one last card and video before I said goodbye to 2017. I hope you enjoy it.

You can watch it here or over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. I've linked all the supplies used for your convenience. Affiliate links were used at no cost to you.

Going into 2018 I'm doing what I always do, I'm going to embrace the possibilities, eat my traditional New Years meal of good luck and wealth (black eye peas and collard greens) and continue to be KIND no matter what life throws at me. So let's start off this blog hop with a little giveaway. I have one set of the Lawn Fawn How You Bean Conversation Heart Add On stamp set with matching die and one set of the Rawr stamp set and die to give away to one lucky winner. Please leave a comment below telling me what positive thoughts you will be bringing into 2018. You can also follow my Youtube and Instagram accounts for an extra entry. Giveaway closes on FRIDAY JANUARY 5 at 11:59 PM EST. (US residents only.) Winner will be announced Jan 8th. Good luck everyone.

Simon Says Stamp Ornate Background Stamp Tutorial and Winner Announcement

Hey peeps. Happy Monday. I'm back today with a fun and colorful tutorial using the new ornate background stamp for Simon Says Stamp. When I first saw this stamp I knew it was one that I had to have. It's graphic design is something I was immediately drawn to. There were several Simon Says Stamp design team members and some of my favorite Youtubers that shared some amazing projects with this stamp and it made me love it even more.

Now what's so great about this background stamp is the open design that gives you ample ways to color it. I decided to go color overload and use some colorburst with mine. I'm sharing a tutorial to let you see how to use colorburst to get this great effect on your cards as well.

You can watch the video here on my blog or in HD over on my Youtube channel mzdanajoy. All the products are listed below. (I've used affiliate links below however there is no cost to you.)

And now for the winner announce from the Coffee Lover's Blog hop. Let me thank everyone who participated in the giveaway. My hubby picked the lucky numbers and the winners are...

Fall Coffee Lovers Blog Hop and a GIVEAWAY

Hey peeps and happy Friday. I'm so excited to be playing again in the Fall Coffee Lover's blog hop. I love, love love this amazing coffee inspired hop and all the creative coffee loving (and other hot beverage) participants that play along. If you're new to the hop, you can swing by the Coffee Lover's blog for all the details.

For my card today, I kept it really clean and simple. I used the mini cafe latte stencil from The Crafter's Workshop and vintage photo distress ink to stencil a really cool background on some Neenah solar white 80 lb cardstock. Next I used my stitched border die to cut it out. To keep my image safe from any smearing, I put on a coat of distress micro glaze. This stuff is amazing!! I decided to use a piece of hot fudge paper from MFT and my Perfect Layers rulers to make a nice and neat boarder for my stenciled piece of cardstock.

I stamped the mini coffee tree from the newly released Perfect Blend stamp set from SugarPea Designs in tea dye distress ink on a piece of Neenah solar white 80 lb cardstock and then stamped one of the sentiments over it in hot fudge ink from MFT. I die cut this out with the double stitched square stax from MFT also. I layered everything on Neenah solar white 110 lb card base. I have listed a product list below. (Some items were no longer available or out of stock. Items not available I have replaced with a similar item).

I really love how this background turned out. Using the distress ink kept my background really soft and once you put the distress micro glaze on, it actually softens it up just a little it more. I'm also going to enter my card into the Wednesday clean and simple challenge over at Simon Says Stamp.

Since I'm such a coffee junkie, I will be giving away two gift cards. One $20 Dunkin Donuts gift card because that's where I get my morning cup of coffee and my chocolate frosted donuts with sprinkles. ;-) My followers know me so well. And one $20 to Starbucks because when I need my vanilla bean latte I need it NOW!!! To enter, leave a comment below sharing with me your favorite hot beverage. For an extra chance to win, follow me on Instagram at mzdanajoy, like the post, tag a friend (one per comment please)!

Giveaway closes 11:59 PM EST FRIDAY September 22, 2017. Winners announced Monday, September 25, 2017. Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Happy Birthday To Me and My Twin - Instagram Giveaway

Hey hey peeps. It's my birthday and I have the happy-happy joy-joy of spending this great day with my twin sister visiting! Woot woot! I'm so blessed that we can be together this year. We are partying like a boss. Okay maybe not like a boss but two middle aged women. LOL

For my card I used the new Hero Arts March card kit. If the background looks familiar it's the one I made on my Periscope last week with the distress oxide inks. If you missed the my oxide ink broadcast you can just click the link and you can see how this background came together.

Now what's a birthday without a gift right? Well I'm giving someone a gift for my birthday. That's right...I'm giving the gift. LOL All of my followers are a daily gift to me and I'm so very blessed to have all of you. I will be hosting this year's giveaway over on my Instagram account mzdanajoy. I will be giving a $25 gift certificate to Hero Arts. Head on over to Instagram for your chance to win.

Sending Love And Winner Announcement

Hey peeps. Thanks everyone who joined in on the Seasons Giving blog hop. I really appreciate all the new followers and the lovely comments each of you have left. I had a chance to hop around as well and man there are some amazing bloggers. Some I are new to following too. I love finding new blogs to follow.

Now onto my card. Can you believe this is my first card of 2017. I was such in the holiday mode that I just couldn't get back into the craft room. I shared the coloring technique yesterday on Periscope. You can check it out HERE. Not a member of Periscope? No worries boo, it's free to sign up and I'm on there weekly with crafting inspiration and a load of laughter.

The stamp used for this card is from Stampin Up. It's a clearance stamp so I'm not sure it's going to be around much longer. I colored it using some Chameleon markers. Of course I needed some shimmer so I used Spectrum Noir Shimmer pens. To finish the card I used a heart embossing folder and some pretty washi tape.

Do something look familiar to some of you in the photo? Yes, Sprinkles has made his debut for the first time for 2017. For those who are like what or who is Sprinkles, Sprinkles is my happiness unicorn that my sweet friend Brianna made for me.

As you can see Sprinkles is a glitter eating unicorn. LOL This little fella will be showing up in photos throughout the year. I can't thank Brianna enough for sending him my way. Having crafty friends is truly the best. Share some kindness in 2017 peeps. It not only makes you feel good but you never know how good it makes the the person receiving it feel.

Oh and the winners of the Seasons Givings blog hop are:

Prize #1 Ericka Strange

Prize #2 Lainey Devita

Have a great day everyone.
