You’re Sweet Card with Isha Gupta

June 1, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Other

Hello everyone! Isha here with a floral card. I enhanced the soft image with a rainbow alcohol pearl background.

I started by creating a panel using Tim Holtz alcohol pearl inks. I simply took the colors (Villainous, Deception, Sublime, Enchanted, Splendor, Sail Boat Blue) in rainbow order and applied the ink to a yupo paper in swiping motion and then dabbing movement. Once I was happy with the result, I let this dry. Make a salmon pink cardbase. Die-cut a white cardstock layer using the Loops cover die. Adhere the alcohol pearl panel behind it. Stamp the sweet pea from the You’re So Sweet stamp, add a touch of color using zig clean color marker and die-cut it.

Die-cut the banner using the die from Best Ever die-set. I cut it once in white and once in the cardbase color. Stamp sentiment. Adhere the pink layer to the white by slightly offsetting it. Adhere the images and the banner. To finish, I applied a bit of spectrum noir clear sparkle pen to the florals. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day!

Hello Sunshine Stitched Friendship Card by Ilda

May 29, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards, Other

Hello and Happy Friday my Friends!

Today’s card was inspired by the weather and the gorgeous sunny days we have had recently. Plus since traveling is out of the question at least I can daydream about being in the tropics somewhere.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I started by die cutting the background using the MINI POLKA DOTS COVER DIE and then just stitched this star-like pattern on to it. I thought this was a great way to stretch out the use of this cover die.

Next, I stamped out and die cut the stamps from the ALOHA set and colored them in using Copic markers.

I then arranged the flowers and popped up using foam tape on to the stitched background that I had glued on top of the card base.

I then added the sentiments on the card to complete the design. The script hello comes from the YOU’RE SO RANUNCULUS DIES that I stacked and glued together and the sunshine comes from the ALOHA stamp set that I stamped onto a banner from the BEST EVER DIES set.

To finish off the card I added some PRISMATIC SKY PEARLS to the background and added some shine by painting the flowers using Liquid Pixie Dust and also adding glossy accents.

I hope this Hello Sunshine Stitched Friendship Card inspired you today. Thank you all so much for stopping by!

Summer Shaker Card with Dana

May 27, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

It’s Dana here. It’s been a while since I made a kind of interactive card and I’m so excited to share this shaker card with you today.

To start, I made an A2 sized panel by die cutting using Darling Ribbon & Frames. I die cut 3 windows with Dotted Patterns Set 2 as well. I then took an A2 sized bristol paper and ink blended it with Distress Oxide Inks using Ink Blender Brushes. I splattered clear water by fingers and let them dried.

I stamped images using Mermaid For Each Other, Under The Sea and Sweet Latte stamp sets onto bristol paper.

I watercolored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers using water brush. After they dried, I die cut them using each of Coordinating Dies.

Next, I began create 3 shakers. I adhered Acetate Sheets under window panel using double-sided tape. I also mounted foam tape and filled each sections with mixed embellishment. I used Sky Blue Crystals, Poseidon Crystals, Icy Sparkle Crystals and 3M Crystal Clear. I then peeled off protective tapes and put down ink blended panel on it.

I mounted all pieces where I wanted them and stamped a sentiment from Sweet Latte in black as shown in the picture. As a final touch, I gave some highlight to images using white gel pen.

Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope you stop by 2020 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop to get more caffeinated inspiration. Happy crafting!

Easy watercolor birthday card

May 26, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards

Hello everyone it’s Galina! Today I want to show a super quick and fun way how to color this beautiful big flower bouquet from LOVELY BLOOMS Stamp set. Also I made a bright card background and I used my favorite frame die – DOTTED PATTERNS SET 2.

How I made this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel

I love huge stamps but sometime I just want to make a super simple or fast coloring. I placed this floral stamp in the stamping tool (you can use a big acrylic block) and I covered the stamps with different colors of distress inks. I overlapped some colors to blend them directly on the stamp. NExt I stamped the image on a watercolor paper.

Using a water brush I blend all the lines and colored the flower. I add just a little amount of additional ink on the flower. Next I trace some lines with watercolor markers and distress inks.

I cut out a rectangle window in the centre of the card panel and I foam mount it on the card base. I placed the flowers on the left top corner. And on the left corner I stamped a sentiment with a red pigment ink.

And here is one more card. I decided I want to create card with my left over yellow card panel. For this cardI used another floral stamp set – Floral Garden. And I colored the stamped image with a watercolor markers. To stamp the image I used a light color distress ink – antique linen.

Using a same stamp set with greeting I stamped a sentiment with a blue pigment ink. And I embellished the yellow card with a same crystals.

Hope you will these cards!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sea you soon card with Kaja

May 25, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I felt inspired by warm temperatures outside, so I made a cute summer card!

Take a look:

I haven’t seen my friends since the virus started to spread around Europe, so I am super happy that our slovenian goverment is slowly loosening the restriction for hanging out. I plan to send this one out to a friend and ask her to grab a coffee with me.

First, I stamped out the cute shark from Jawsome set and colored it in using alcohol markers. I went with a typical grey color and a bit of pink for the cheeks. Once the image was colored in, I made sure to add some details using white gel pen.I wanted to have a stricking background, so I decided to stencil a blue splashes using Ink splash stencil which give a look of spilled water. I used two colors of blue to get a nice gradiant look and I used Studio Katia ink blending brushes to do it. After the blending was done, I die cut the background with the scalloped rectangle die from Scallop hearts cover die to get a nice finished look.

Then, I stamped out the ‘Sea you soon’ saying from Under the sea stamp set. I used black ink and I pozitioned it in the center of the splashes.

The last thing I added was some clear drops and then I glued everything together using Studio Katia glue and foam tape.

Thanks for joining me!

Best Friend Card with Olga

May 23, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards

Hello! This is Olga and I hope to inspire you with my project today.

I really wanted to do something unusual for this day, to use Studio Katia dies in a non-traditional way. That’s where the idea of doing some cross stitching came from. It’s a great way to add not only color, but texture as well.

I’ve chosen to use the small dotted hand circle from the FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES. I absolutely love this little die!

I started by preparing the stitching panel. I die cut small half circles many times on the white card stock.

In the meantime I was reflecting on what color scheme to choose. It was important to choose a palette where the colors would go nicely together.

After I finished the stitching, I adhered my panel to a light grey card base.

I added BEST sentiment die cut our of black cardstock using a die from the BEST EVER DIES. I also added a sentiment FRIEND from the BEST EVER stamp set and embellished the card with one yellow polymer clay heart from RAINBOW HEARTS.

Thank you for visiting my post!

Crafty Birthday with Tracey

May 21, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hi friends, it’s Tracey back again today to share a little paint splatter birthday card for a crafty friend!

I created my background with the Studio Katia Ink Splash Stencil, this has to be one of my favourite stencils! I used post it tape to mask off different parts of the stencil as I blended Distress Oxide Inks with the Studio Katia Ink Blender Brushes. I spritzed some water over the whole panel when I was done and picked up the some of the colour with a paper towel for interest. I cut the ink blended panel using the Scallop Honeycomb Cover Die and set it aside while I worked on the rest of the card.

I stamped a sentiment from the Birthday Greetings Stamp set on the panel in black just above the centre point of the card. I thought this sentiment would go perfectly with this artsy card for a crafty friend.

I stamped the two images from the Artsy Trimmings stamp set with Copic friendly ink and cut the images out with the co-ordinating Artsy Trimmings dies. Then I fussy cut some of the three different paint tubes from the die cut image. Fussy cutting front the piece cut with the dies is usually easier especially when the image falls to the end of the piece. I coloured the paint tubes with Copic markers to match the splatters on the ink blended panel.

The card base was matted with black cardstock and I attached the Scallop Honeycomb Cover to it with Studio Katia White Doubled Sided Foam Tape for dimension. Then I added the paint tubes on to the panel also with Studio Katia White Doubled Sided Foam Tape.

To add a little more fun to the card I added Carmine Red Crystals, Peridot Crystals, Mint Dream Crystals, Ocean Wave Crystals and Cupid’s Kiss Crystals with the Studio Katia Embellishment Wand. I chose colours that matched with the ink blended splatters. Now it is really the perfect card for a crafty friend!

Thanks for stopping by today and I hope that you are staying safe.

Guest Designer | Missing You with Ekaterina

May 16, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Guest Designer

Hello everyone! My name is Ekaterina Vorsobina and I’m from Russia. I am so happy to be a guest designer for Studio Katia this month! I likes to sew Tilda dolls, make albums and have been a passionate carmaker for several years now! I enjoy making elegant cards, which is so easy to do with amazing Studio Katia products!

I love house plants, especially cacti, and instantly fell in love with CACTUS HUGS stamp set. That’s the stamp set I used for today’s card.

First, I stamped and colored the images with alcohol markers and die cut them out using coordinating dies. Next, I made a window using a die from DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4. I ink blended the panel I was planning to use as a background panel for my window, I used scattered straw and tumbled glass distress ink.

I cut out a scallop frame and adhered it to the card base. Next, I started assembling the card and felt that my window is missing something. Curtains! I made them using a die from Fancy Scallop Heart die. It looks so much better with those curtains! Nice and homey. All I needed now was a sentiment which I made using a stamp from PEONY TRIMMINGS stamp set and a banner die from PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES. I embellished the card with few IRIDESCENT BUTTERFLIES.

Thank you so much for stopping by, hope you liked the card!

Have a great day,

Ekaterina

Citrus Trimmings Friendship Cards by Ilda

May 13, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hello my sweet friends, Ilda here!

Today I am sharing a couple of colorful Summer inspired Citrus Cards. I had recently colored the images during Kathy Raccosin’s Daily Coloring Challenge and thought they would make some fun Friendship cards.

CARD DETAILS

Like I said I had previously colored the CITRUS TRIMMINGS images in, but before I colored them with ARTEZA BRUSH PENS, I stamped them out onto Bristol paper and heat embossed the lines using gold embossing powder. Once the images were colored and dry, I fussy cut the Citrus images out.

Next, I created the backgrounds. On this first card, I chose 4 different color cardstock that matched the colors of the oranges I had colored. I then stacked, rotated, and flipped a few of the layers to end up with this colorful lattice-like background. I then glued them all together and attached it to the front of the card base.

I then popped up the Orange Citrus trimmings in the center of the card using FOAM and then stamped out the sentiment onto a tag I die cut from the PEONY TRIMMINGS Die set. I then finished off this card using BUBBLEGUM and RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS.

For the Lemon/Lime version of the Citrus Card, the process was pretty much the same with a few exceptions.

This time I only used two colors of cardstock to create the background, and I glued the Citrus Trimmings along the bottom of the card without using foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment on to a banner from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 and adhered it in the center of the card using foam tape. Finally, to finish this one off, I added GOLD FOIL PEARLS. I also added some glossy accents to the center sections of the fruit, but I didn’t like how it lost the detail of the watercolor painting I had done, so I did not add accents to the previous card. If you look closely you will see the difference.
