Mandala Flower Thank You with Svitlana

March 24, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Thank You Cards

Hi friends.

Svitlana is here. Today I’m quickly popping in to share a simple and elegant card using Mandala Flower. Mandalas are very popular now. There is something magical in their lines and dots.

For the card I’m showing today I went for an elegant and kind of lacy design. It was very quick to do.

SUPPLIES:

Mandala Flower Clear Stamp Set

Thank You So Much Stamp Set

Frosted White Sequins Fusion

 

First I cut a vellum panel and after prepping it with anti-static powder white embossed several mandalas on it. As well as a sentiment from Thank You So Much set.

I then adhered the panel onto a parchment card base. I also white embossed on a vellum piece one more mandala, hand cut it and adhered onto one on the panel.

Lastly I added several Frosted White sequins.

This was very easy and quick card to make, I like how it turned out. So soft and gentle 😉

Have a wonderful weekend!

Thank You Card with Laurie

March 20, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Other, Thank You Cards

Hello and Happy Monday!!  Laurie here to share a very simple card using mostly die cutting.   Studio Katia has amazing dies, from stitched dies to my favourite, the dotted detail dies!

SUPPLIES:
Thank You So Much Stamp Set
The Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Die Set
Elongated Dotted Hexagons
Stitched Notebook Die Set
Majestic Sequin Fusion
Space Silver Fusion Sequins
Mini Misti

I started by using the largest frame die from the The Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Die Set to cut a panel of white cardstock. I then took the middle die from the Elongated Dotted Hexagons to cut a “window” in the centre of this panel.  To create a frame for my window, I nested the middle and the largest of those same dies, taped them together and ran them through my die cutting machine with some light grey cardstock.

I traced the opening with pencil onto my cardbase so I knew where to stamp the sentiment.  The “thank you” comes from the newly released Thank You So Much Stamp Set.  Using my Mini Misti, I lined up the sentiment and stamped in black ink.

To show the recipient a lot of love, I plastered the front of the card with die cut hearts using the stitched heart die from the Stitched Notebook Die Set.  This helped me use up some of my scraps!
And to make this sparkle, I used a combination of the Majestic Sequin Fusion and Space Silver Fusion Sequins.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by!!  Have a fabulous week and see you soon!!

Layered and Vibrant with Erica

March 2, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Cards, New Release, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone! Erica on the blog today with a vibrant thank you card using the lovely big flower from the Thank You So Much  set which has just been released.

SUPPLIES:

Thank You So Much Clear Stamp Set

Dotted Balloons Creative Die

Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames

Jet Black Fusion

I am an absolutely sucker for flower stamps! I love, love, love them! Flowers are by far my favorite image to colour.  One thing I’m not very good with though, is red. Anyone who read my blog post Pink Birthday with Erica will be aware of this already… and the fact I thought it was a bad idea to try things I’m bad at when I’m on a deadline. Well, this one I started on back in mid Feb, just to see what might come out of it when I had plenty of time to come up with something else if this turned into another big red blob rather than a flower.

After stamping up the flower on some copic friendly paper, I picked up some red copics, not without feeling a little bit adrift and unsure, red really isn’t my colour at all. I mean, I can’t even wear red without looking like a sickly ghost!

I always start with a light colour and for this one I went with R81 and flicked that all over all of the petals. This part isn’t about making it perfect so don’t worry if it doesn’t look too good whilst at this stage. Then I moved on to my darkest red, R46, and started at the outside of the petals, flicking the colour inwards. The contrast will be stark but don’t fret, by using several shades you can easily blend the colours in. If that’s the look you want. It can look very dramatic and spectacular by not blending too well but this is entirely up to you. I go both ways, sometimes I’m all about the blending and getting it super smooth looking and other days, it’s flick, flick, done ✅.

Back to the flower, my third colour was RV29 and with this one I mainly filled in any gaps I might have missed at the end of the petals and also pulling the colour down a little into the light pink areas. This is probably the colour I used the least. My fourth and final colour was R32 and with this one I went over almost the entire flower and filled in every single petal. You might wonder what’s the point in going over it with the R81 to begin with if it’s all going to get covered up anyway? Well, to be honest, I didn’t know that’s what I would end up doing. I thought the light pink would be nice but it was a tad too light and too pink, hence the R32. I went over the light pink bits very quickly and lightly to avoid it getting too dark.

As I had managed to go outside the lines a little bit in several places, I decided to colour in the outside of the flower with C-9 which is a very dark grey colour Copic marker. It’s not black but close.

Out of this card the colouring bit took the longest. The rest of it was a piece of cake!

As the flower is very vibrant and colourful, I decided on a monochromatic colour scheme for the rest of the card. When I use white as a card base I like using a lovely linen textured card stock I have. It gives the card a little something without adding anything or distraction from the focal point. For the actual base I used the A2 sized diecut from the Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frame and set aside. I then cut out another piece using a Lawn Fawn stitched rectangle die that would fit perfectly inside the dotted frame on the A2 panel. The idea was to cut out a circle and then place this panel on top of the flower piece so the flower peeks out of the hole.

I ended up using the middle die in the Dotted Balloons which isn’t a balloon, it’s a wavy circle and it was just about the perfect size! With foam tape, which I can’t craft without, I adhered the die cut panel to the flower piece. Then the double sided tape came out and was added to the back of the whole shebang. Carefully placing this on top of the A2 panel I stuck it down.

Originally I had planned on stamping the sentiment on top of the diecut panel but I forgot to do it so I decided to heatemboss the sentiment ‘Thank you’ from the stamp set on black linen textured card stock and add that with foam tape too. This would make four layers in total!

Before I stamped the sentiment with VersaMark ink, I dusted the cardstock generously with my anti-static tool. It will show and look a mess on black or dark card stock but don’t worry, this you can easily wipe off once your heat embossed sentiment has set and cooled down. I used scissors to cut out the sentiment and added it right under the flower on the card.

Then it was time for final touches and as per usual, I didn’t go simple… nope, that’s something you can almost always count on.. First the sequins came out, Jet Black Fusion and I used two different sizes. These I adhered with Glossy Accents. Aaaaaaaaaand, while I had the Glossy Accents on hand, I dotted it all over the flower. The idea was to make it look like dew drops on the petals. I may (read ‘definitely and every time!’) have gone slightly over the top…

Oh well, it looks lovely and it feels great when you run your finger tip over them! I love cards with texture on them. Whilst I adore what other people make in the CAS style, I’m really not a ‘clean and simple’ kind of girl myself. I can’t stop before it goes overboard! Maybe it’s something to challenge myself to this year?

Well, if you are still with me at this point, you deserve a cookie! Without much further ado, here is the whole card.

I hope you are enjoying this new release and have found some inspiration today!

Happy crafting from Erica

SUPPLIES:

Mandala Clear Stamp Set – Coming Soon

Mini MISTI

Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames Creative Die

For the background I used NUVO Glimmer Paste with SSS Stencil, it gives a nice sparkle to the project. I’ve stamped and heat embossed the Mandala flower  with sentiment using Mini Misti on to Neenah Desert Storm 100lb paper. I didn’t want to spend too much time coloring it, so I used copic markers and used white pen to add little dots all over the flower.

I die cut using the dotted frame set from the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames. Thank you all for joining us this week as we previewed a few projects from the new release. Make sure to join us on Monday for a full Release!

February Release Preview – Day 1 with Laurie

February 20, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Cards, New Release, Sneak Peek, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone!! It’s Laurie back with another project. But this is super special and super exciting!!  This week the Design Team for Studio Katia will be sharing projects using the new release!!  You really don’t want to miss any of it because this release is AMAZING!!!!

SUPPLIES:
Thank You So Much Clear Stamp Set – February Release
Hello Alice Clear Stamp Set – February Release
Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frame Creative Die Set
Clear Heart Drops

I chose the new Thank You So Much stamp set which features the most beautiful flower image.  It was screaming to be watercolored!!  So, I decided to use my TomBow Dual Brush Markers for this.  I stamped the image in Versamark ink and used white embossing powder…I’m not great at watercolour without those barriers the embossing creates :).  I used only one shade of turquoise to do my colouring but did add layers. I then fussy cut the flower out.

For my front card panel, I used the largest frame die from the Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frame Creative Die Set.  This covers the entire front of the cardbase.  After stamping the flower image repeatedly on the panel (I used Fog ink from Simon Says Stamp),  I did some partial die cutting to separate that panel into two pieces while maintaining the dotted detail.  This created a space to stamp my sentiment.

I found a solid leaf image in my stash, coloured on it directly with a green Tombow marker and simply used a water brush to smooth out the color and add some layers.

I adhered my die cut panel directly onto a kraft cardbase and stamped the sentiment in black ink.  This sentiment is also from a new stamp set in the release called, Hello Alice.  I foam mounted that big, beautiful flower and tucked the leaves behind.

To finish off, I added three Clear Heart Drops.  I actually refrained from using any sort of sparkle on this card because I thought that bold flower image was enough.

Thank you for stopping by today!!  I hope you enjoyed this little sneak of what’s to come this week!!
All the new fabulous products  will be available on Monday, February 27th!!!  You are going to LOVE this release!!!
Laurie

Thank You Card with Laurie

January 30, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Back To School Cards, Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone, and welcome back!! I have a sweet and simple thank you card to share with you today!!

SUPPLIES:

Teacher’s Apple Clear Stamp Set

Brush Strokes Clear Stamp Set

Stitched Notebook Creative Die

Crystal Clear Fusion

Mini Thank You – Coming soon

 

 

I always start by gathering up all the stamps and dies I think I will use:

I knew I wanted to use the Stitched Notebook Set, that you can see already die cut on the bottom right.  And I also knew I wanted to use the Teacher’s Apple stamp set, especially for the pencil image!!
For the sentiment, I chose to use the super sweet Mini Thank You set.  FYI: this is a sneak peek of a future release!!!! Right now it’s a free gift with purchase on orders $75 and over.
I used my Winsor and Newton Promarkers to colour the pencil.  In this case, I wanted it to look more like a pen so I coloured the “eraser” portion the same as the body.  Because I am using a light blue base, I added a bit of colour to the strip across the top.
Now here is where I got fancy!!  Embossing paste!! What??!!  I never use this stuff, and I’m not sure why!  I used a diagonal stripe stencil and applied the paste over top, in a messy way.  And because the layer was thin, it dried super fast!!
To finish things off, I added a ink blob just below the thank you using the awesome Brush Strokes stamp set.  I tied a very thin piece of thread around the top of the notebook die and adhered the “pen” so it looked like it wrote the sentiment.  I also added some sequins from the Crystal Clear Sequin Fusion mix.
Thank you for visiting today!!  Have a great week!!
Laurie
