Simple snowman card with Kaja

December 5, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Winter Holidays

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and I have another cute winter card prepared for you! Take a look:

Holidays are almost here, so I am making as many simple Christmas cards as I can. Today I started out by stamping the snowman from Happy snowmen stamp set. I colored it in using alcohol markers and then I added some details using white gel pen along with green pencil for the scarf.

Next, I made the backround for which I used three colors of distress oxides. Black, dark blue and light blue. Once I was done ink blending I sprinkled some white paint on top to get a cool snowy look.

Then, I stamped the sentiment that reads ‘Happy holidays’ from Gift tag greetings: Winter set on a piece of gray card stock. I trimmed it down to a banner shape using my paper trimmer.

I die cut an oval window from a white card stock using the brand new Elegant scalloped oval die.

Once everything was prepared, I glued everything together using Studio Katia glue and double sided foam tape.

Thank you for joining me!

December 3, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’d like to share holiday card with you today.

For this card, I started by die cutting scalloped panel from white card stock using Elegant Scallop Oval Die and Scallop Square.

I then stamped Happy Pawlidays in black and colored them with Copic markers. I highlighted them with white gel pen. I also stamped a sentiment from same stamp set onto scallop panel.

I popped up scallop panel using foam tape. For background, I took a square card base and ink blended it with distress oxide ink using Ink Blender Brush.

To finish off this card, I die cut a ribbon from white paper using Elegant Scallop Over Die. I then colored it with Copic markers and adhered Gold Foil Pearl using Glue.

That’s it for today. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Pops of Red for Christmas!

December 2, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, New Release, Winter Holidays

Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today, and I’ve got some sparkling snowflakes with a pop of red to share with you! I don’t really use red outside of holiday cardmaking, for some reason…. I’ve never really been drawn to red, but there’s something so festive and crisp about it for Christmas. I usually like to keep snowflakes to cool colors (think lavender, silver, aqua, etc), but I thought for today’s post, I’d do something a little different!

I began by heat embossing a ton of the beautifully detailed snowflakes from the Snowflakes stamp set onto some heavyweight vellum using super sparkly platinum colored embossing powder. I love the effect of heat embossing these delicate snowflakes onto vellum; I think it really makes them look as though they’re floating down from above! I die cut the finished snowflakes with the coordinating dies.

Using some very strong clear adhesive tape, I arranged and adhered the snowflakes so that they were sweeping across my crisp white card front. I want this card to be easy to mail, so I tried to keep the bulk to a minimum. You have to be careful when adhering vellum, however, because the adhesive can show through. I like to use small dots of clear, dry adhesive, usually hidden behind heat embossing or another die cut.

For the greeting, I white embossed the “peace on earth” sentiment from Poinsettia Border onto some bright red cardstock using white embossing powder, which I then popped up on the card front using foam adhesive. The final, sparkly touch was to scatter some July Crystals to add a few further pops of red to the card front, as well as a few Golden Copper sequins.

Well, that’s all for my project today! Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a marvelous day!

Watercolor Snowflakes with Dana

November 30, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello, Studio Katia friends!

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

For this card, I started by stamping Snowflakes images here and there onto cold pressed watercolor paper. For watercolor effect, I directly spritzed clear water to clear stamps after I stamped Festive Berries, Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Wild Honey and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks for each of them. Then, I brushed the images lightly using paint brush and water.

After they dried, I stamped tiny snow and stars from Happy Snowmen using same distress inks. I then die cut the watercolor panel using Scallop Frames.

Then, I white heat embossed sentiments from Happy Snowmen onto black card stock and cut them out using craft knife and scissors. I popped them up in center of watercolor panel. Also, I adhered Exotic Onyx Pearls and created tree shape 🙂

To finish off this card, I foam mounted background onto A2 sized pink card stock.

Hope you enjoyed this card. Thank you so much for joining me today!

Clean and Simple Holiday Cards

November 28, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today sharing a easy clean and simple card idea which is not only easy enough to batch make your card, but also is another way to use stamps.

I started off by creating a tree/triangle and cutting it out of some paper, If you have a die this shape use that, but I used a craft knife. I also made sure that I used good quality printer paper, the reason being is card could have caused problems with getting an even stamp impression and thin paper the ink could sink through.

I then trimmed down some Neehnah card and positioned the template over the card and secured with some low tack tape. I used the Snowflakes stamp set for these card along with Spectrum Noir Quick Drying Ink pads. I started off by using a bright red.

I started stamping the snowflake in the bottom corner and worked upwards, making sure to stamp off centre to make it seem less uniform.

Then remove the template and you are left with the above. I repeated the step on 3 cards, each time using a different snowflake and a different colour ink, for one the stamping seemed to get lost as the colour was quite pale, so using one of Studio Katias Blending brushes I blended over the template.

Once they was all stamped I die cut the panels out using the outer die from the Scallop Hearts Cover Die. For the sentiment I used a setiment from the Poinsettia Trimmings stamp set and stamped under the “tree” . I then stuck them all to card bases using foam.

To add some finishing touches I add an Iridescent Star to the top of each one, and also added some detailing with metallic markers.

This was an idea I am glad worked out as it can be used in so many different ways for many different occassions.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have a great day.

Happy Crafting.

Colorful Snowflake Christmas Cards by Ilda

November 27, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello, my friends Ilda here! I hope you all are having a wonderful week so far.

Today I have some bright and colorful cards I made using backgrounds I recently created while playing with Tonic Shimmer Powders.

So to begin I will share with you how these backgrounds came to life. I simply sprinkled Cherry Bomb, Solar Flare and Blue Blitz Shimmer Powders onto my craft mat and sprayed them with water. I then simply dabbed the watercolor paper into the colored puddles to create this first background and then just set the panel off to the side to dry.

Once the panel was dry I die cut it using the frame from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3 CREATIVE DIES. I then stamped out the snowflakes from the SNOWFLAKES and heat set them in white Embossing Powder. The sentiments come from the POINSETTIA BORDER set.

To add more sparkle, (which by the way the shimmer powders are already very sparkly but not very visible here in the photos) I also added some of the ICY SPARKLE CRYSTALS that I absolutely love and are some of my favorite right now!

The background of this second card was made using the leftover ink from the first card. I was so surprised to see how the colors mixed even more to create more of a blue/purple panel. Couldn’t let all that goodness go to waste!

For this panel, I die cut it out first with the frame from the DARLING RIBBON AND FRAMES DIES and then I stamped 3 of the SNOWFLAKES and heat set them. I then used the coordinating SNOWFLAKE DIES to die cut the snowflakes out of the panel. Rather than creating a shaker card, which would have been fun too, I just popped the panel up onto the card front with FOAM TAPE and then glued the coordinating snowflake dies to the panel. Before I did that though, I dipped the snowflakes with glue along the bottom edge and sprinkled on some of the FROST GLITTER. I also added some glue dots to the background to have some of that glitter stick to the front as well.

The let is snow was simply die cut from sparkly white foam craft and just glued in place. To dot the “i” I used an ARCTIC BREEZE PEARL.

For even more shine I also added a few of the IRIDESCENT ICE FLAKES.

Alright before I leave here today, I have to tell you about the new Double Sided Foam Tapes from Studio Katia. They are awesome and I love that they come in BLACK AND WHITE! You get so much tape (36 yards to be exact), the tack is amazing and it can be torn. Plus the price is the best I have seen $25.00! Check it out, I promise you will love it as much as I do 😍

Winter scene card + Video

November 25, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, New Release, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! It’s Galina with you today! Today I want to share with you few tips how to use Studio Katia stencil and brushes and create a winter scene on the card. I made this card using Snowflake stencil, few stamps from Happy Snowmen Stamp set and an Oval scallop die.

How to create this card you can watch in this video

I want to create a delicate Christmas card with pastel color combo, so I used Blending Brushes to apply all inks on my card. With the blending brushes it’s very easy to get a light pastel color, even if you used a bright inks.

To embellish my card I choose crystal stars. I adhere them with the SK glue.

Hope you like this card!

Have a great day!

Happy Pawlidays with Olga

November 24, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello crafters! Olga Moss is here. For today I made a Happy Pawlidays card. I played with three stamp sets from the last release called HAPPY PAWLIDAYS, SNOWFLAKES and LOTS OF GIFTS TRIMMINGS. So when I saw these sets I thought it was perfect to combine them together. Therefore, I created the atmosphere of a festive new year’s room. Where the walls are decorated with snowflakes, prepared a lot of gifts, and as decorations hang flags with the image of the owners of this room. Everything is exactly the same as we do, isn’t it?

First I prepared the background. I stamped 1 of 2 borders with gifts or as we like to call them trimmings from the LOTS OF GIFTS TRIMMINGS stamp set. I also duplicated the image on the masking paper, so I could cut it out and use it as a cover. Then I created an ink blended background with green ink, moving smoothly from dark to light. I also stamped a lot of snowflakes on the top using a SNOWFLAKES stamp set. To add more texture I splattered background with white gouache.

Then I stamped our furry friends from the HAPPY PAWLIDAYS stamp set. And I cut out five faces in the shape of flags using mini banners from the SLIDER TAG DIE.

Next was the time to prepare a fun part of the card. I removed the masking paper from the images in the background and colored them. I also colored the banners with Copic markers. I added my banners in the background with foam tape and stitched them with a white cord. Next I white heat embossed sentiment “Happy Pawlidays”.
