Guest Designer | Flower Elf Cards with Olesya

/ CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Guest Designer, Thank You Cards

Hello! My name’s Olesya and I am super happy to be a guest designer at Studio Katia. Their products are of a very good quality and oh those sequins and mixes 🙂 one love!
I have prepared three cards using Studio Katia stamps and dies.

Using gold foil and double-sided tape I made several stripes on the card base.
I stamped a flower from Thank you so much stamp set three times to cut each layer of the flower and pop it up using some foam tape. Colored them with Zig brush pens. Die cut a Thank you sentiment with Thank you so much coordinating dies out of gold foil cardstock. Added a couple Nuvo glitter drops in Honey Gold.


I stamped the images from Thank you so much set and Friends of Winter set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink to color them in with Chameleon alcohol markers and pencils. Cut the elf apart and adhered him as if he’s a flower elf 🙂 Added a sentiment from Blooming Bunch stamp set.

Stamped the image from Blooming Bunch stamp set directly onto a card base, colored it in with Zig brush pens. Die cut a flower with Thank you so much dies, cut it apart to make it look like a bush. Stamped and die cut the elf, colored with Chameleon pencils. Added wings to the garden fairy using left overs after die cutting a bow using Fancy Square dies.

Thank you for stopping by!
Have a wonderful day!

Hey everyone! Hope you are well.

I have a monochromatic card to share today.

Studio Katia Thank You So Much Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I began by watercolouring the background in an ombre fashion with Gansai Tambi black. After I was done with the ombre background, I added some drips here and there to give it a more dramatic or arty look.

After the background was dry I added tons of white paint splatter.

Next I stamped the large floral stamp from Thank You So Much and shaded it with just a black pencil plus blended it with a stump. The leaves are hand drawn.

I die cut just the “Thank You” from the coordinating die set. At this point, I also die cut my pencil shaded flower.

Sweet Latte Spotlight With Svitlana

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Thank You Cards

Hi friends,

Svitlana is here today. This week we’re highlighting a very sweet and cute stamp set – Sweet Latte.

One thing which I like to do with cute stamps is to modify them. And for this card I decided to add fun face details onto card “participants”.

  I started with stamping several cups, coffee-makers and saucers onto white cardstock using COPIC-friendly black ink. Next I colored them with COPICs following rainbow order. I die-cut all elements using matching dies.

After that I went through my stash and grabbed some face details from Happy Snowflakes, Smarty Pants and Teacher’s Apple and stamped them onto colored coffee pals.

I die-cut a dotted panel out of kraft cardstock using a die from Dotted Patterns: Darling Ribbon Die Set and stamped a sentiment in the bottom center part using brown ink. Next I adhered all elements onto the panel, some were adhered flat and some were foam mounted.

Then horrifyingly rare thing happened – I grabbed a pad of patterned paper (shock), choose one sheet and cut a panel out of it, which then adhered onto a white card base.

Lastly I foam mounted the panel onto the card.

Have a wonderful day!

Colour Combinations with Tracy

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Thank You Cards

Hey guys it is Tracy here today sharing my latest Studio Katia card with you.

For this card I dug out one of my favourite Studio Katia Sets Thanks So Much. I love the flower in this set and also in the coordinating die set there is two sentiment dies that are beautiful. I also went with a slightly different colour combo, but one that I love- Blue, Pink & Rose gold. I love colour, but within card making I do tend to stick to similar combinations and honestly play it safe a lot of the time. Going outside our comfort zone sometimes can be not only fun. but also spark our creativity more.

I hope after reading how I created the card trying different colours might be something you do.

I stamped the flowers onto some cold pressed water color card with clear sticky ink and heat embossed using Simon Says Stamp Rose Gold Embossing powder. I then did some watercoloring using Mijello Missiongold and watered the color down quite a bit as this can be a very intense blue.

Whilst they was drying I took a piece of my minds eye paper and die cut using Darling Ribbon & Frame Die set. I then added some splatter detail and left to dry. Whilst that was drying I die cut the flowers and the Thank You Sentiment, which i die cut from some Rose Gold card. I die cut it twice and adhered them on top of each other for some dimension.

I then started to adhered everything together, I wanted some extra dimension so I adhered two of flowers using some foam tape and then trimmed off the excess flowers.

I felt the card needed some extra sparkle so I adhered some Majestic Sequins randomly using Matt adhesive.

This was such a beautiful stamp to water colour and it was so refreshing to work with a different color combination that I usually go for.

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

Happy Crafting

Tracy

Floral Thank You with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Thank You Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and since Studio Katia has so many gorgeous flower sets I decided to make another card using one of them! : )

Take a look:

If you know my cards, then you probably know that I just love any type of coloring.. So, I started making this card by coloring these gorgeous flowers from Blooming bunch stamp set. For me, watercoloring is the easiest way to color and today I used ZIG watercolor real brush markers and a water brush.

After I colored the flowers, I decided to use the Loops die for the background. I die cut the loops in white and then did some inkblending behind them. I used distress inks and this time I went with Dried marigold, Spun sugar and Picked raspberry colors.

Next, I decided to cut my colored blooms in three pieces. I got one big piece with two flowers and two small ones that each has half of the flower. Then, I glued down the small pieces first directly on the loops and after that I poped the big two flowers up with some foam tape.

Next, I die cut a Thank you sentiment from Mini thank you die set. I used a black foam under the black card stock and glued everything on the card base with some liquid glue.

The only thing left to do was to glue the loops on the card base and the card was all finished.

That’s it for today! Thank you so much for joining me! See you next time.

Guest Designer | Five Cards with Jacquie

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards, Guest Designer, Thank You Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hi there crafty friends! Jacquie here from The Big Reveal. I am so pleased to be this month’s Guest Designer for Studio Katia. I pretty much fell in love with Studio Katia with their first release! I love all their unique creative dies, the flowers, and of course, adorable Kobi!

I have made 5 cards for todays post, so sit back and maybe grab a cuppa something warm and enjoy!

My first card uses the beautiful Blooming Bunch stamp set and the awesome Dotted patterns: Scallop frames creative die set! I stamped the floral bouquet on watercolor paper and white heat embossed it. I used watercolor paints to color it. I then used the creative dies on the panel. I cut it out twice and raised the frame to give it more dimension. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of vellum and then adhered the bow to it, and stuck it to my card. I finished it off with some gorgeous crystals from the Cupids Kiss Crystal Mix.

My second card is a fun Valentine’s themed card using the super adorable Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses stamp set. I stamped the images on smooth white cardstock and colored with Copic markers and cut them out. I used the Dotted patterns: Loops creative dies on a piece of warm gray cardstock. I punched out all the circles, but then put a few back in for added interest. I gently blended some soft pink ink on the white card panel. I mounted the die cut piece over the card panel and adhered my Kobi bear to the front. I stamped HUGS in the center of the heart. I finished off again using crystals from the Cupids Kiss Crystal mix.

This third project is possibly my favorite! I stamped the lovely florals along the left edge and bottom of an A2 sized card panel, and then I stamped a few extra on another piece of cardstock. I colored these using Copics, but as you can see, I did a different type of coloring…just some lines highlighting, I didn’t color and blend the whole flower. I wanted it to have a unique look to it. I blended a bit of pale pink ink along the edges here and there. I took the Stitched creative windows die and placed it over my colored piece, and cut it out. I lined up the cut out pieces below, and mounted it using foam tape, making a shaker card. I filled the shaker with the Majestic confetti. I cut out the extra flowers I stamped, as well as the greeting and mounted them on the top of the shaker.

This 4th card uses the gorgeous and unique Floral trimmings set! I love to color with Copics so I stamped this several times and colored them all a bit differently. For this card, I cut out the floral image and set it aside. I then stamped the same image along the bottom of a folded note card in a pale ink. I mounted my colored and cut piece on the note card. I stamped the greeting and added some pretty sparkly sequins from the Crystal clear sequin fusion pack. I love how they picked up the purples and blues!

My final project features a die set that I was so excited to get! I cut out some thick watercolor paper using the Dotted Patterns: Fancy Square die. Then I cut another watercolor panel down and smooshed it in some watercolor paint and set aside to dry. I used the Floral Trimmings Copic colored piece I had left from the last card to fashion a little border along the inside of the frame. I stamped a greeting from Blooming bunch on the watercolored panel and adhered the frame using foam tape. I had originally thought I would make a shaker card, but decided to keep it simple and just adhere a few Iridescent Crystals to the card to finish it off.

That is all for my projects today! Thank you so much to Studio Katia for inviting me to be their guest designer! I really love their projects and have begun collecting them all! (haha!) Have a great day!

Peace,

Jacquie

Watercolored Thank You card with Kristina

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone! Kristina here and today I want to show you a watercolored card with gorgeous Floral Trimmings stamp set.

This stamp set is perfect for quick, simple and elegant cards.
First, I stamped the flowers with clear embossing ink on watercolor paper and embossed it with a white powder. Then I slightly colored the images with my watercolors. I did not add extra details to make my card more gentle and simple.

I’ve adhered my watercolor panel to the light grey card base and diecut the word “Thank You” from Thank You So Much die set, out of white card-stock a few times to create more dimension and to make it stand out on my background.

Then I glued the sentiment to the card and finished the card with Clear sequins and Nuvo Drops.

Thank you all for stopping by!

Simple Thank You Card with Floral Trimmings

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Thank You Cards

​Hi friends,

Svitlana is here. Today I want to share a very simple and relatively quick card made using Floral Trimming Stamp Set.
 
I started by stamping one trimming somewhat in the middle of a white panel using COPIC friendly ink. Next I colored them using COPIC markers.
Next I die-cut a word thanks using a die from Giving Thanks Die Set out of the panel placing it in the middle of the stamped trimming. And I die-cut another thanks out of a white cardstock.
I taped the back side of the panel where the die-cut window was, sticky side towards the front. And inserted the white die-cut into its negative space, followed by inserting panel pieces into “holes” in the sentiment. Tape was needed to secure it in place so it didn’t fall down the window 😉
After that the panel was foam mounted onto a white card base. Lastly  I added several Sparkling and Ocean Wave Crystals.
I mentioned in the beginning that this card is relatively quick as the design itself is very simple. But coloring was included and you know that it can be time consuming. Although I did a quite basic coloring and the elements are not very big, so it didn’t take much time.
Have a wonderful day!

Thanks A Latte with Tracy

/ CATEGORIES - CAS, Coffee Cards, Other, Thank You Cards

Hey lovelies, Tracy here today sharing with you a card I created using the new Sweet Latte Set.

Anyone that knows me knows I am a total coffee addict and love all things coffee so i was SO happy when I saw this new stamp set. One thing I always like to have plenty of is Thank You cards, so this sentiment was perfect.

I stamped the latte cup and small heart from the set onto some Kraft card using Old Paper Distress ink and then used the rectangle from Dotted Patterns one die set to cut the piece out, I also die cut a circle from the centre.

I took some Neenah card stock and stamped both of the latte cups and then did some very basic pencil colouring and used the matching dies to cut them out. with the left over piece of Neenah I randomly stamped the small coffee bean from the set using brown dye ink. I also stamped the Thanks A Latte Sentiment and used the banner die from the new Best Ever Set to die cut the piece out.

Once that was all done I adhered the coffee bean piece to an A2 card and adhered the kraft panel over the top. The two latte cups I adhered one flat and the other with foam tape to give some dimension to the card, same with the sentiment banner.

I did toy with the idea of adding some sequins or gems but decided to leave it. This card is idea if you wanted to give someone a gift card to a coffee place, or just for a coffee crazy friend like me.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope I have inspired you.

I also want to wish you all a very happy holidays and thank you all for your comments in 2017.

Tracy
