Kobi Bearing Gifts at Your Door Card by Ilda

June 5, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hello Everyone!

Ilda here from I Love Doing All Things Crafty, and I am super excited to share with you my first card on the Studio Katia Blog featuring the new Kobi Bearing Gifts Stamp Set. I wanted to create a doorway scene where Kobi is coming to your house with his arms filled with presents and balloons.

For this card, I began by coloring out Kobi and his gifts using Zig Pens and then used the Coordinating Dies to dies cut the images. Next, I worked on the card background, I wanted to make it look like Kobi was also carrying a bunch of balloons with him. So I used the Bubble Stencil and Distress Oxide inks and blended out a bunch of different sized bubbles to create the balloons in the background. For some extra sparkle, I used some multi medium matte glue and added some drops here and there to glue down some sprinkles of the Just Chunky Glitter.

Did anyone notice my doormat? In hindsight, I wished I had filmed the process, but my time is so limited these days so the next best thing I could do was to take process pics. This way you can refer to them if you want to do the same. I had so much fun making this cute little mat and it was super easy to do!

The first thing I did was die cut the middle sized Stitch Border Die using a similarly colored piece of paper of the string I was using. I then trimmed length of the mat to a size that would fit the window of the card.  BTW, I did not use embroidery string as I didn’t have the color I wanted, so I used a crochet yarn which worked just as well.

Here is how I achieved the carpet-like effect.
I doubled up the thread, this way it fills up the entire mat with minimal effort.
As I worked on each row of stitches, I used a crochet needle to lift up the thread from the die cut. You could use a thin straw or a skewer to do this as well (see image below).

As you can see from the above image, I have an odd number of rows. So I just did the same thing with the crochet needle and wrapped the thread around it without creating a cross stitch.

Now that the mat is all stitched, I used a sharp pair of scissors and cut down the center of each row. I had a few spots that the lengths of the thread were longer than others so I trimmed as I found necessary.

I also used strong double sided adhesive to hold the stitches in place from behind. I then removed the adhesive backing and then stuck it down to the card base.

Next, I added doubled up foam tape behind Kobi and adhered his feet to the carpet using some multi medium matte glue and attached the gift to the carpet/mat the same way.

To finish off this card and to create the illusion of a doorway,  I used the largest die from the Dotted Patterns: Darling Ribbon Dies and also the largest frame die from the Dotted Patterns: Set 2 Dies and used foam tape to pop up the frame. Before adhering it to the front of the card I stamped one of the sentiments from the Birthday Greetings Set.

I hope you learned something new today and were inspired by my Kobi Bearing Gifts Card. Until next time have a great crafty Day!

    This is a really fun card. The carpet is genius and must add so much texture. Thanks for the inspiration.

I think this stamp is my all time SK fav and love embossing and water colouring it. I’ve used the new @spectrumnoir Aqua pens and have to say I’m really impressed with them. 
For the stencil background I’ve used @tonicstudios Nuvo Glimmer Paste. 
Embossing powder and card is @simonsaysstamp

Posted @withregram • @emily.leiphart Who’s rea Posted @withregram • @emily.leiphart Who’s ready to say goodbye to 2020? I’m personally torn over saying goodbye to a completely wasted year because saying hello to a new year means that I’ve lost so much precious time. Right now, I just want to enjoy Christmas and finish the year stress-free. ✨

Posted @withregram • @olga_moss Hello, friends. Posted @withregram • @olga_moss Hello, friends. I'm on the @studiokatia today sharing with you a small festive series with gorgeous poinsettias. When I sat down to color these flowers, I realized that I could not simply make one card. So I made a souvenir shaker magnet, a gift tag and some beautiful wonderful stickers that can be used to decorate envelopes, or be used to secure wrapping paper on the gifts. Swipe to see more photos. Also you can find more details on the #studiokatiablog 🌲
    
    
Такой небольшой сет я сделала с чудесными пуансеттиями от @studiokatia Так вдохновилась ими, что не смогла остановиться и сделала открытку, тэг, магнит-шейкер и стикеры, которыми можно украсить почтовые конверты или подарки. В карусельке много фото, в сториз видео, а детали описаны в публикации в блоге. 🌲
