Slider tag card with ink blending technique

December 26, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards, New Release, Other

Hello everyone! Galina here and I want share with you how to create an interactive colorful card. Ink blending technique is one of my favorite techniques and Blending brushes from Studio Katia are must have for it 🙂 I love that they save my time and paper, because they don’t leave harsh lines on the paper.

How I made this card you can watch here or on the Studio Katia’s youtube chanel

On this card I combide two die sets from the last release – SLIDER TAG DIE and MINI POLKA DOTS COVER DIE. As for stamps, I used cute set PAWS FOR KINDNESS BUNDLE. It’s a special bundle, Studio Katia will donate $10 from every sale of this special stamp bundle to Pets in the Classroom because we truly believe that all children should have the opportunity to learn about the responsibilities, respect of life and kindness to one another.

To color stamped images I used Copic markers. Below you can find color combos for this card.

Boy: Hair – E29, E33, Skin – E000, E11, Eo1, Shirt – R05, R46, Pants – YG95, YG97

Cat: W00, W03

Dog: E57, E11, E30

Stars: Y15, Hearts: R46

Color combo of Distress ink for a card background:

Bundled Sage, Scattered Straw, Spun Sugar, Dried Merigold.

I hope you will like this card!

Have a great day and see you soon!

A CAS Christmas Card with Isha Gupta

December 6, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, New Release, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a CAS card using masking and stencil technique.

I started by taking a kraft cardbase and masked it to have an opening to stencil. I then took the beautiful Autumn Leaves stencil and applied white pigment ink to the card. Let it dry for about 15 minutes. I then offset the stencil a bit and sponged some peacock feathers distress oxide ink. I then applied some white pigment ink using blender brush. Remove the mask and apply white ink all around the card edges. Stamp and emboss the poinsettia flower onto vellum. Color lightly using pencil colors for a soft look. Flick some gold ink to the card.

Adhere the flower. I then die-cut the word “MERRY” and embossed it using WOW! Metallic Gold Rich powder 3 times. This give it a raised 3D effect. Adhere the word and the sentiment to the card. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day!

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!

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!

Merry Christmas Shaker Card with Isha Gupta

October 29, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, New Release, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a CAS shaker card using some of the new winter release goodies. I love the new Floral Snowflake Stencil so much and of coarse the snowflake stamp and dies. I decided to use just the die for my card today.

I started by applying some distress ink through the stencil using the new ink blender brush. I really love the soft and even result we get with them. I then die-cut snowflake and adhered the cut snowflake to a white cardbase. Now, I adhered acetate onto the back side of the panel. Add some Frost and Fine glitter onto the snowflake on the card. Apply double sided tape around the snowflake and the cardbase. Adhere the stencil panel to the card. This way, the card isn’t bulky and is perfect for quick mailing. Flick some black splatters and let it dry. I then die-cut the word Merry 3 times from white cardstock and once from glitter cardstock. I then added some color to the glitter word. Stack them all and adhere to the shaker window. Stamp and adhere the word Christmas.

To finish, I added some of the Icy Crystals. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day!
