Cactus Hugs with Svetlana

March 20, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS

Hello everybody!

I am glad to show you a lovely card with cacti images. I made this card using Cactus Hugs stamp set. I stamped the images with light ink and coloured with pencils. I also made a tablecloth, as if the pots were on a table. To decorate the tablecloth, I used newly released Grid stencil.

I foam mounted the tablecloth and few of the coloured images to add dimension. I finished off my card with some sparkling crystals.

Today it is my last post as member of Studio Katia Design Team. It was a wonderful period in my creative career.

Thank you for all your comments and attention!

Floral birthday card with Kaja

March 19, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have prepared a floral birthday card for which I used things from the new release!

Take a look:

I had some hard time deciding which stamp set to use first, but then I went with a big floral image from the Aloha set. I used watercolor paper, so I could color the image in using Zig watercolor markers. I tried to use tropical colors and that’s why I colored in the flowers in pink and yellow.

Once everything was colored I used coordinating die to die cut it out.

I wanted to have an interesing background so I used two colors of blue distress inks and ink blended them on the bottom left part of the paper. To add some more details I used the new Grid stencil and ink blended the same two colors over the top. This gives a nice touch to the background without making it too distracting.

In the end I felt like I added a bit too much of blue, so I sprinkled some white paint over it. This makes the white and blue more connected.

The last think I added to the card was the sentiment which reads ‘Happy birhtday’ from the Cactus hugs stamp set. I heat embossed it on black cardstock using white powder.

Then, I glued everything together using Studio Katia liquid glue and some foam squares.

Thank you so much for joining me!

Clean and simple cards with Galina

March 18, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Hello Cards

Hello everyone!

How you like our new release products? I’m so exited! Love every item. And today I want to share with you two clean and simple cards I made only with new dies.

For my first card I used new window die. I cut this window twice: from woodgrain cardstock and from gold glitter cardstock. I decided to combine sparkles and texture on woodgrain cardstock on my card. Inside of my card I made a sky scene with birds.

On a white panel I applied orange and pink color of distress ink and I draw few simple birds with black gel pen. And I stamped a sentiment under my window, it’s very helpful to have stamping tool to stamp on textured cardstock, but if you haven’t one you can fill white gaps on stamped image with black pen.

For my second card I used few die cuts I made with new shaker heart die. I really love monochrome cards and on this card I wanted to see some gold accents. I simply diecut a sentiment from gold mirror cardstock to get a gold main element on my card.

I adhered all die cuts with Studio Katia glue and to embellish my card I used glitter crystals. They look amazing on the card.

Hope you like these cards! Have a nice day!

Under the Sea Window Shaker by Ilda

March 13, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello my friends Ilda here,

It’s is finally looking like the snow is melting and Spring weather is on its way! I just can’t wait for it to warm up as maybe can tell by this Under the Sea Shaker card. Interactive cards are definitely one of my favorite kinds of cards to make and to give away.

To begin this card I stamped out images from the Mermaid For Each Other and the Under the Sea sets and then die cut them with their coordinating dies. They were colored in using Copic markers.

Next, I blended out some Distress Oxide Inks (tumbled glass, mermaid lagoon and wilted violet) onto a piece of Bristol paper. Then I used the Brush Stroke Waves stencil to add a layer of Glimmer Paste onto the background.

For the top panel, I used the Fancy Circle Dies to die cut the circle window and then used the frame from the Dotted Patterns Set 3 to cut out the panel. Next, I adhered a piece of acetate to the window opening and glued the water plants along the edge of the window. To the background, I glued the coral piece and the merman I popped up with a piece of foam tape. Not sure if you can tell from the photos but the mermaid was the only image I glued on the top of the acetate.

To create the shaker portion of the card I used foam tape and added it to the outside edge under the card front panel. Before attaching it to the background I added my sequin bits that consisted of Shimmering Ice Fusion Sequins and Sparkling Crystals to the center of where the window would be. I then removed the protective adhesive from the foam and lined it up with the background. I then attached that to a card base that I had glued a piece of light blue cardstock to. The sentiment I used on the card front comes from the Blooming Bunch Stamp set.

For a bit of sparkle on the images, I used Liquid Pixie Dust on the mermaid tails and the coral.

I hope you got some inspiration from this fun Under the Sea Shaker card. Oh, how I would love to be swimming in that magical ocean right now!

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hugs, Ilda

Merry Poinsettia Cards by Erum

March 12, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Other

Hi there everyone! Erum here today and I will be sharing two cards with you featuring Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set.

I actually didn’t plan on making two cards. But I stamped three of the single Poinsettias in the Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set and a lot of leaves. I coloured this while catching up on some tv shows. By the time I was done, I was left with enough images to make two cards.

So I started by colouring the images with Artist Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut them.

Next, I worked on the background. For that, I added a light colourwash of green watercolour and tried to get a dry-brush watercolour look.

I adhered all the images with foam tape and added my sentiment. To finish, I adhered a few April Crystals.

I followed the same steps to create the second card but kept this a little bit more clean and simple.

The sentiments on both the cards are from the Blooming Bunch Stamp Set.

I hope you liked my cards! I love this stamp set, I have used this so many times to create non-Christmas cards 🙂

Thank you for stopping by!

Thank you card by Galina

March 7, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi guys! It’s Galina. Today I want to share with you a floral card with pretty blue stripes.

I started with stamping stripes onto white card panel. I applied two shades of blue ink (at once) on the stamp and press it to paper. Inks are blend nicely on a stamp and I get pretty background for my card.

My main accent is a floral bouquette. I choose yellow, orange and red colors of distress markes to color my image. I stamped this flowers with archival black ink on the watercolor paper, because my watercolor has a nice texture I got some white gaps on the image, I always fix this with black pen, but only after coloring, in other way ink from pen can react with water.

At last I cut a “thank you” sentiment from black cardstock. At first I adhere flowers with 3d foam and next I find place on the card for me sentiment, to glue the sentiment I used Studio Katia’s glue, it has a small tip and with this glue I can easily attach any delicate die cuts, like this one I used.

Have a nice day!
