Christmas Cup of Flowers with Erum

November 16, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there everyone! Erum here today with more Christmas inspiration!

I have a habit of using non-Christmas stamp sets on holiday cards so today I picked up A Cup of Thanks Stamp Set and turned it into a Christmas Stamp just bu using the traditional holiday colours.

I heat embossed the stamped image in gold and then used distress inks to colour in the image. Once the watercolour was dry, I used the coordinating die to die cut the image. Then I started to work on my card front.

For that, I used a light colour wash to add a similar colour to that of the cup to my background. I also added white paint splatters as well as black paint splatters to it.

Then I stamped the sentiment from Poinsettia Trimmings Stamp Set and it officially became a holiday card! I added a thin strip of glitter tape onto a panel and adhered it below the colour wash panel to add bling.

In the end, I adhered all the panels on a red card base.

I didnt add any gems or sequins because I just loved how this one turned out!

I hope you liked my card!

Hello! Do you like shaker cards? I adore them! They rustle so magically! And today I want to show you a magical shaker card with the finest poinsettia!

I stamped poinsettia image onto a watercolor paper and colored them with distress markers. For the shaker window, I used a die from the Dotted Patterns set 3.

I added a lot of confetti stars and micro beads to my shaker. I glued everything together and added a sentiment. My card magically rustles and pleases the eye!

I also made a matching tag for this card using Bookmark Die and Poinsettia Trimmings Stamp Set.

I was happy to show you my work today and I hope you were inspired by it! Thanks for stopping by! See you soon!

Hi everyone, it’s Galina! Today I want to share with you a winter card.

At first I cut a card panel in a half using border die. To create card background I used beautiful Mandala stencil, I simply I applied few colors of distress ink through the mask and with second layer I applied transparent Nuvo Glimmer paste.

On the bottom of my card panel I add three color of distress ink using blending tool and heat embossed a sentiment. I used a fine detailed white embossing powder to get nice image with tiny lines.

At last I stamped and colored houses, trees and little snow men. I cut all images with coordinating dies.

At last I adhere all elements onto white card base and my card is done.

Have a great day!

Merry Christmas with Kristina

November 8, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! It’s Kristina here and it’s time for a Christmas card! I used gorgeous Poinsettia Trimmings for my card.

First, I stamped the images from stamp set onto watercolor paper with clear embossing ink and gold heat embossed. Next, I loosely watercolored the images with watercolors. Once it was dry, I took my Prismacolor pencils and add the depth on some of the leaves and flowers.

Then, I die cut Merry out of gold cardstock and adhered onto my watercolored piece. I stamped Christmas onto tiny stripe of black cardstock with clear inks and gold heat embossed and adhered onto my panel with foam tape. I foam mounted my panel onto kraft card base and finished my card with sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Merry Poinsettia Christmas Card with Erum

November 6, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello there everyone!

Erum here today with a simple Christmas card for you!

My card features the Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set. I watercoloured this with distress inks. The only two colours I used were Aged Mahogany and Black Soot. All the stamping was second generation so that I don’t get a very hard, prominent outline. Next, I used the same inks to colour the images.

I used the frame from Dotted Shaker Tag 2 as a base to add my sentiment on. The word “joy” is part of the Merry Poinsettia Die Set.

Before placing my images, I added a few black paint splatters. To finish off, I adhered some Majestic Confetti.

I hope you liked my card. I love how it turned out!

Thank you for stopping by!

Poinsettia Shaker Card with Dana

November 3, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello, everyone!

It’s Dana from Dana G.Crafts and I’m back with holiday shaker card today.

To start, I stamped Poinsettia Trimmings image onto white card stock using embossing ink and heat embossed it with red embossing powder.

I colored flowers with Copic markers and fussy cut it using scissors. I applied Nuvo Crystal Drops Simply White to some part of them as well.

Next, I started to make a shaker like snow globe. I die cut a shaker window using Dotted Patterns Set 3 from kraft and white card stock. I added clear acetate and foam adhesive to it and prepared Holiday Cheer Confetti and Classic Christmas Confetti together in a triangle tray.

For shaker background, I pulled out bristol paper and ink blended it with Tumbled Glass and Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Inks. Then, I built a shaker by arranging prepared ones onto A2 sized white card base.

I white heat embossed a sentiment from same stamp set onto green card stock and trimmed down and popped up as shown in the picture using foam tape. As a final touch, I splattered white ink using spray here and there.

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

Poinsettia Christmas card with Kaja

November 1, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have a watercolored Christmas card prepared for you!

Take a look:

Watercoloring makes me calm, so I stamped out the whole background using the Poinsettia trimmings stamp set and started coloring. It took me more than half an hour to color everything in but it was worth it! For the coloring I used ZIG watercolored markers and a water brush.

Once everything was colored, I took the rectangle from the Dotted patterns set 3 and I die cut my background with it. The die gives a beautiful dotted edge along with rounded corners which makes the background even more gorgeous.

Next, I took some vellum and die cut an oval out of it using the second biggest die from the Dotted ovals stamp set. I used vellum because I didn’t want to cover too much of the background I spent so much time coloring. 🙂

Of course I also needed a sentiment and I decided to go with a ‘Merry Christmas’. I stamped out the word ‘Christmas’ from the Poinsettia trimmings set in black ink and for the ‘Merry’ I used the die that is included in the Merry poinsetta coordinating dies.

I used the Studio Katia glue to glue everything together, the only thing I popped up with some foam tape was the word ‘Christmas’. I was really carefull with glueing down the vellum since I didn’t want the glue to show through it.

The last thing I added was some clear drops around the sentiment and that finished off the card!

That’s it for today, hope to see you again soon!

Merriest Wishes with Rubeena

October 31, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Good morning, Studio Katia friends! Rubeena here with a watercolored holiday card using Poinsettia Trimmings. Have you started on your holiday cards yet? This would be a great set to use if you enjoy coloring flowers.

I started by stamping the images on watercolor paper in different angles with black waterproof ink. Then I used my Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors to watercolor. I added some green shadows around the images to give the illusion of greenery.

I stamped the sentiment using the waterproof black ink. I added some Iridescent Crystals in the center.

I hope you were inspired to create today. Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂

Vellum Shaker with Laura

October 29, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a winter vellum shaker card, created with the beautiful Holiday Village stamp set. As a first step I stamped my images on Bristol Smooth cardstock and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I then cut them with the coordinating dies.

I then created some hills with the Trimmings Borders and added some shading to them with Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass. To add some interest and some sparkle I coated the hills and the snow on the houses with my Spectrum Noir clear overlay pen. I really love the look of glitter on a winter scene!

For my shaker front I cut some white cardstock using dies from the Darling Ribbon and Frames set and the Dotted Scallop Oblong set. I theb did some ink blending on my shaker background with Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Shaded Lilac and Broken China. The embellishments I used to fill in the shaker are the Majestic Sequin Mix, the Crystal Clear Sequin Mix, the Clear Dust Seed Beads and the Iridescent Dust Seed Beads.

For the shaker window I used vellum instead of acetate. I wanted to go for a different look, and I think vellum works really well for this winter scene, as it gives a bit of a frosty look to it. I stamped the sentiment from the Holiday Village set using Distress Oxide in Stormy Sky and, for a finishing touch, I glued a few Iridescent Ice Flakes to the card front.
