Well Hey, Boo!

Ilda, here. Today I have a special little card for you! Not only is this little pumpkin adorable, it is also interactive and lights up for the recipient. How fun is that?! I am so addicted to these new to me EZ-lights that I’m sure you will be seeing a lot more of these light-up cards in the future!

CARD DETAILS

Here is how I made this card:

Die-cut 2 HALF STRIPED COVER frames, one orange, and one purple.
Rotate one Striped Cover over the other 90 degrees and glue together onto a white card panel.
Die-cut the top, bottom, and frame pieces for the pumpkin using the SHAKER PUMPKIN DIES
Glue the bottom of the pumpkin onto the center of the card panel.
Punch a hole through both the card panel and the pumpkin base (somewhere where it won’t be seen from the face openings.
Add vellum behind the pumpkin face and add foam tape to the outer edges of the pumpkin’s face.

Thread the EZ-Light wire from behind the panel through the hole you punched through the panel.
Tape down each EZ-Light so that the light is able to shine through the vellum areas of the pumpkin’s face. ( I taped them behind the top orange pumpkin layer)
Line up the pumpkin’s face with the back layer and adhere them together with the foam tape.
Glue down the pumpkin’s frame around the pumpkin.
Insert the battery and tape down the EZ-Light push button behind the area you want the recipient to push down on. Test the push area.
Tape the excess wires to the pack of the card panel, leaving room along with the edges to add foam around the border.

Attach to the card base.
Die-cut the letters from glitter craft foam using the CHUNKY ALPHABET and arrange and press onto the card front.
Instead of writing push or press on the area, I used the Miss You stamp from the SWEET HEART CANDY.
To finish, embellish with your favorite bling. (I used RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS and AMETHYST PEARLS).

Now let’s see how cool it looks when you light it up!

How cool is that right?

I hope you were inspired by this fun Halloween Light Up Card. I’m already planning my next one, lol! Make sure you are following me on Instagram, I will post a quick video of the card coming together.

Thank you for stopping and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Happy Fall with Natalia

September 11, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards

Hi there! It’s Natalia here. Today I want to share with you my card featuring beautiful Studio Katia CHUNKY ALPHABET Creative Dies.

To make this card I started by stamping the cute image from the AUTUMN BORDERS stamp set, which I colored with copic markers and cut out using scissors. I made highlights with white and silver gel pen.

I die cut out a panel out of white cardstock using HALFTONE DOTS COVER | CREATIVE DIES. I ink blended some distress inks onto a white panel same size as the dot panel and added some splashes with clean water. I glued these panels together.

I adhered the image onto the background panel mounting it on a double-sided foam tape. I die cut out the words Happy Fall out of gold glittered cardstock using a die from CHUNKY ALPHABET Creative Dies and adhered it in the middle of the card again using the double-sided foam tape.

Thank you so much for joining me today, have a great day!

Autumn Cuteness with Galina

October 15, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone! It’s Galina with you today. When I first saw SHAKER ACORN DIES I was dying because of their cuteness. And I love to have an option to put faces on them 🙂

For this card I used few die sets from autumn release. I cut out few acorn details from white cardstock and colored them with brown, orange and green inks. To apply inks on the die cuts I used blending brushes. I decided to make shaker acorns, so I cut out a piece if vellum and attached it on the back of the accorn die cut, next I attached adhesive foam strips.

I filled the shaker with golden seed beads and covered the shaker with one more piece of paper. I added a smile and eyes to both acorns. Also I added a leaf by using a die from pumpkin set and few flowers from embellishment set called RADIANT PINEAPPLE PETALS and MISTY ROSE FLOWERS.

To create a card background I cut out a white panel and applied pink and yellow distress ink using blending brushes. With regular paint brush I added splatters all over the card panel.

I cut out a white frame from vellum and glued it on the card panel. Next I adhered both acorns. Using sentiment from AUTUMN BORDERS DIES set I cut out a word “Thanks” from gold cardstock and attached it to the bottom of my card.

To finish my card I added few transparent crystals with liquid glue from Studio Katia.

That’s all. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day.

3-D Die Cut Autumn/Thanksgiving Cards with Ilda

October 14, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello, Ilda here, and Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian Friends!

It is only fitting that I share with you some Thanksgiving Cards today featuring a bunch of products from Studio Katia‘s last release.

As you can see the focal point of these cards is done in 3D. So let me break down how each card came together.

For the acorn version of the card, I began by die cutting the pieces of the SHAKER ACORN die 4 times. I then scored and folded each piece down the middle and applied a thin bead a glue down the crease and glued each layer in place.

Next, I glued the bottom acorn flat to the card panel that I had die cut using the large frame from the DARLING RIBBON AND FRAMES DIES set. I then die cut the outline of the acorn from black cardstock and glued it around the 3D acorn.

The sentiment on this cute card comes from the AUTUMN BORDERS stamp set. I then finished it off by adding some EXOTIC ONYX PEARLS and adding an orange bow to the stem.

For this next card, I repeated the same process as the previous card only this time I used the SHAKER APPLE DIE set.

Here again, I used the AUTUMN BORDERS stamp set for the greeting only this time I embellished with ARCTIC BREEZE PEARLS.

For this last card, I used the SHAKER PUMPKIN DIE set to make the 3D pumpkin. I then glued it on to a background panel that I had die cut using the HALFTONE DOTS CIRCLE DIES and the large frame from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3.

I then glued the panel to a Kraft card base, stamped out the sentiment from the AUTUMN BORDERS stamp set and finished it off by adding some RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS.

And as you can see from this next photo, all the cards all fold flat for sending them through the mail.

I hope these 3-D Die Cut Autumn/Thanksgiving Cards inspired you today. They are actually quite simple to make and the results look amazing. I’d encourage you to give these a try!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Hugs, Ilda

Happy Thanksgiving by Dana

October 11, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards

Happy Friday, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m back with Thanksgiving card today.

I started by die cutting acorn using Shaker Acorn Dies from A2 sized bristol cardstock. I then sponged die cuts with distress inks using mini blending tool.

I die cut acorn body again from kraft paper for shaker background. I added Clear Sheets and completed shaker with Ice Sparkle Crystals and 3M Crystal Clear.

Next, I ink blended background with Distress Oxide Inks. Then, I splattered watercolor drops using paint brush here and there.

Once they dried, I stamped sentiment from Autumn Borders in brown. To finish off, I embellished with Ripe Persimmon Pearls and Seafoam Pearls and mounted all elements onto dark brown card stock.

Hope you enjoyed this card. Happy crafting!

Pumpkin card with Galina

October 2, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards, New Release

Hello everyone! It’s Galina here. What do you think about alternative ways of using die sets? Sometimes I have crazy ideas like this one. I used

SIMPLE ROUND TAG and HALLOWEEN TRIMMINGS DIES to create a pumpkin face on my card 🙂

At first I made a “body”, I cut a card panel from watercolor paper and apply orange watercolor paint all over it, I add a lot of water to get nice orange gradient. After background is dry I add dark orange and brown stripes with a dry brush. Next I cut out a “smile” using order sentiment die and adhere a black stripe on a cardstock on the back of my card panel.

To create eyes I used two smaller dies from tag die set. I simply cut them from a brown cardstock and add a bit of shading with brown distress inks and blending brush.

To finish my pumpkin face I decided to add few leaves and swirls from another die set – SHAKER PUMPKIN DIES.

At last I attached the card panel on the green card base and my card is done.

Hope you like this idea 🙂

Have a great day!

Happy Halloween with Isha Gupta

September 19, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Halloween

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a cute Halloween card using the new release goodies. I love creating cute cards for spooky Halloween….lol. So this spooky image was perfect and adding the googly eyes made this card look cute 🙂

I started by stamping the image using onyx black versafine ink and then embossed it using WOW! Midnight Dream embossing powder. I then die-cut the Happy Halloween sentiment stripe. I embossed a scrap paper using Flame embossing powder to add texture and bright color behind this panel. So, I adhered this panel to the orange stripe using 3D foam.

I then flicked little black ink to the card and let it dry. Color the candies and the pumpkin face using pencil colors. I then adhered the eyes to the focal pumpkin. Now, I embossed a stripe of paper using the same midnight dream embossing powder and cut into two stripes and adhered them to the top and bottom of a white cardbase. I then adhered the panel to the cardbase. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day! Isha Supplies Halloween Trimmings Dies Spooky Pumpkins Trimmings Triangle Tray Studio Katia Glue

Spooky spell card

September 17, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Galina is here and here is my first spooky card with new pumpkin stamp set. For my card I used a part of large border image.

Now we have true autumn weather and it was little bit hard to capture beautiful green glow on the card.

I started with cutting a sentiment right on a card base and I colored letters with black pen. On the inner side of the card base I placed a piece of the orange cardstock.

Next I apply light and dark distress inks on the card base. I tried to make a spell swirl 🙂 You can draw a swirl with a pencil and then add inks.

I stamped few pumpkins, eyes and tiny candies, which IS colored with pencils. I fussy cut all images and adhere them on the card base. At last I add a lot of green Nuvo drops on the green swirl.

Hope you like this card! Have a great day!

Trick or Treat!

September 10, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween

Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today sharing some inspiration using some of the latest release from Studio Katia! This release has lots of fun autumn-themed products, including some darling new dies. Today’s project focuses entirely on dies, so let’s get started with all of the details!

To start, I die cut some cute little pumpkins using the new Shaker Pumpkin dies. I die cut one from some orange polka-dot patterned paper, then two more using the interior of the die from some deep orange cardstock. I also die cut some gray stems and bright green leaves.

After I’d die cut my little cluster of pumpkins and foliage, I used the new Halloween Trimmings dies to die cut a cute “trick or treat” greeting. I’m not super wild about scary Halloween stuff, but I can totally get behind cute orange pumpkins and trick-or-treating!

I blended a bit of orange in the top corner and a bit of green in the bottom corner using some blender brushes, then backed the greeting with some black cardstock so that the negative spaces would have plenty of contrast with the words in the sentiment. I adhered the pumpkins and foliage using a combination of foam and liquid adhesive.

Well, that’s all for my project today! I hope you’ve taken a peek at the new release; so many super cute products! I can’t wait to play with them some more! Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a marvelous day.

Boo-tiful card

October 9, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Galina. Let’s make more boo-tiful cards! The season is open 🙂

For this card I used new stencil and few old but cool pumkin dies.

I start with cutting a panel from orange color cardstock, next I applied black ink on edges and cover the panel with stencil and glitter texture paste from Nuvo.

On the orange cardstock I stamped few pumpkins using brown ink ant cut them out. On the green cardstock I heat emboss a sentiment with white powder and stamp from Monster Bash set. To create a main focal point I cut an oval frame from black cardstock and adhere all elements in a center.
