Hello Card with Dana

/ CATEGORIES - Cards

Hello, Studio Katia friends!

It’s Dana here and I’m back with non-occasional card today.

First, I started by stamping Whimsical Town images onto white card stock in black. I colored them in with alcohol markers and cut out using Whimsical Town Dies.

I die cut frame and banner from white card stock with Dotted Patterns Set 2. I stamped a sentiment from Whimsical Town onto a banner.

For background, I ink blended A2 sized bristol paper with distress oxide inks using Ink Blender Brushes.

Then, I arranged town as shown and popped up frame and banner using foam tape. To finish off this card, I drew some stars here and there using white gel pen.

Hope you enjoyed this card.

Thank you so much for joining me today!

Video: Multi technique card with Galina

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Today I want to show a card with a lot of cardmaking techniques. For this card I used cute little stamp set – POTTED PLANTS and FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES.

How I made this card you can watch in this video or HERE (Studio Katia Youtube channel)

For this card I decided to create my own pot for the stamped plants. I used smallest dies from the FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES to die cut a half of a circle and in the center of it cut out a holes with other die from this set. I cross stitched the die cut with a green thread and got this nice decorated pot. I colored plants with Copic markers and attached them abow the pot.

For the card background I used stencil technique. I applied Lucky clover and Pine Needled Distress inks throught the AUTUMN LEAVES STENCIL with INK BLENDER BRUSHES. This brushes helps to get nice crisp image through the stencil.

Behind the pot I placed a piece of the vellum. I attached it to the glitter frame using double sided adhesive.  I stamped the sentiment directly on the vellum. For stamping on the vellum or acetate sheet it’s better to use an archival\permanent inks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Simple balloon birthday card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts here with you today and this time I made a simple and cute birthday card!

Take a look:

My nephew celebrated his 2nd birthday few days ago and he just loves balloons, so I decided to make him a simple card that will feature them.

First, I stamped out the Birthday ballons horizontal towards the top of my piece of paper. I used copic markers in green and blue to colored them out and still keep a simple look.

Once the balloons were colored in, I die cut the paper with scalloped rectangle from the Scallop hearts cover which give an elegant and finished look.

The last thing I added was the sentiment and I went with a simple ‘Happy birthday’ which I found in Kobi the birthday bear stamp set.

I glued everything together using Studio Katia glue and some foam tape.

Hugs,

Kaja

Birthday card with LOTS OF GIFTS TRIMMINGS Stamp set

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hello everyone! Galina here. I want to bring you today a lot of colorful inspiration using latest trimming stamps and cover plate die.

For this card I used – LOTS OF GIFTS TRIMMINGS and HALF STRIPED COVER DIE.

How I create this card you can watch in this video or HERE (Studio Katia Youtube chanel)

I made this card using the fun technique called – inlaid die cutting. With this technique you can create unique one layered die cut disigns.

At first I cut out a background die cut and stamped gift boxes on the inner piece of the die cut. I colored boxes with copic markers, I pick some bright colors to make this card pop. After my coloring was done I glued the large white die cut on the card base and then inlay colored piece and colorful stripes. I cut out those stripes using HALF STRIPED COVER DIE from the scraps. I have a lot of cardstock leftovers and I’m glad I can use them 🙂

 

For the sentiment I decided to combine  stamps from different stamp sets, the larger “Happy birthday” stamp from CACTUS HUGS  and smaller is from this set –BIRTHDAY GREETINGS.

Hope you will like this card!

Have a great day!

Hey lovelies Tracy here with you today sharing my latest card using the Paws For Kindness Bundle.

IMG-3628

This set is so sweet and I wanted to create a little scene card with it. I used the little boy image which I coloured with Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers.

I decided to step out of my comfort zone for the background and did a little bit of freehand colouring to create a tree and add some floating blossom and grass.

IMG-3630

To add some extra dimension I actually stamped the images into the main piece and then added shading around it and then stamped and coloured them on a separete piece of Neenah. Instead of using the matching dies I fussy cut them out and added some craft foam behind them. I like to use craft foam if I dont want too much height as its not as deep as foam tape. I also die cut the clouds using the Sky Set Borders.

To finish off I stamped the Best Friends from the stamp set along the bottom of the card base before adhering the panel to the card.

I hope you like the card. Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you have an amazing day. Happy Crafting.

Winter Wishes with Tracey | Welcome New DT Member!

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello Everyone! We have amazing news to share with you today! We have new designer joining our team – Tracey McNeely. We are very excited and are looking forwards to seeing all her wonderful creations with Studio Katia products! Leave comments for her under this post in order to win a $15 Gift Certificate to Studio Katia Store.

——————–

Hi there it’s Tracey here today and I am so excited to be joining the design team at Studio Katia! My blog is In My Creative Opinion and I would love to see you visit me over there. I hope that I can inspire you to have some fun with your Studio Katia products and maybe even show you a few tips on how to use what you have in new and different ways!

To get things started I have a card for you today that could work for any occasion during the winter months!

I started out by ink blending a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ panel of cardstock using Distress Oxide inks using the Studio Katia Blender Brushes to create a two colour blend using Cracked Pistachio and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide inks. Next I flicked some gold watercolour paint on to the panel by tapping two paint brushes together and set it aside to dry. Once it was completely dry I die cut the Studio Katia Elegant Oval Die out from the blended panel.

I placed the blended panel over a white top folding card base without gluing it down just so I could see where I needed to stamp the sentiment so it would show through the window. The sentiments from the Studio Katia Poinsettia Border stamp set were stamped with clear embossing ink and then embossed with gold pearl embossing powder. 

To make the shaker component I adhered a piece of clear acetate behind the window on the front blended panel. Then I added two layers of foam tape to the back of the same blended panel. Two layers gives my shaker bits room to move around. For the contents of my shaker I used the Studio Katia Iridescent Ice Flakes. I placed them them right on top of the embossed sentiment on the white card base and spread them out. The top blended panel was added to the card base so that the window reveals the sentiment and the pretty shaker contents inside. 

Thank you so much for stopping in today, I hope you enjoyed my first post with Studio Katia.
We’ll see you again next time.

Birthday Card with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hello, friends! Olga is here.

Today I’m sharing a festive Birthday card featuring just a bit of stencilling, blending and heat embossing.

I used a fabulous Autumn Leaves Stencil. I think this design can be used not only for autumn cards, but also for winter, spring and summer ones. Everything will depend on your choice of color. For my card, I mixed blue and turquoise shades of ink, because my card is dedicated to a person born in winter.

I sarted to work on this card by making background. And it’s so simple! I just blend inks making the color lighter towards the center onto the light blue cardstock.  Next I applied Nuvo glitter paste through the stencil onto my panel.

Then I created a tag that can hold a standard gift tag. For this I used new Slider Tag Die.  Here I heat embossed the sentiment using Birthday Greetings stamp set.

I adhered the background panel to A2 white card base, I foam mounted the gift tag panel over it and tied the string on the tag. Also to embellish the card I used Gold Foil Pearls.

I hope you will give this idea a try. Have fun!

Happy Birthday Card with Dana

Happy Friday, everyone!

It’s Dana and I’m back with simple birthday card today.

For this card, I started by die cutting main panel from white card stock using Scallop Hearts Cover. I stamped Lots of Gift Trimmings and Birthday Balloons-Horz in black onto bottom and top of scalloped panel.

I colored them in with Copic and alcohol markers. I used spring colors and love how it tuned out!

Then, I highlighted them with white gel pen. Also stamped a sentiment from Birthday Greetings as shown.

As a final touch, I added dots using grey marker here and there. I then mounted cover panel onto A2 sized kraft card base.

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

Belated birthday card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts here with you today and I must admit that I have made one new year’s ewe promise this year and it’s to send out more cards. This is something I have been realy bad at in 2019, so I quickly made this card:

I started out by coloring a flower from You’re so sweet stamp set. I used ZIG markers which are waterbased and using waterbased markers makes making shadows on a flower super easy.

Then, I used the Autumn leaves stencil with dark green ink that matches the leaves of the flower. Then, I used a green that is a bit lighter and ink blended over it to get a cool two color background. For the ink blending I used the new Studio Katia brushes which makes it super easy to blend.

I wanted to keep the card simple, so I just added a sentiment from the Birthday greetings stamp set.

Then, I placed everything on a card base using the Studio Katia glue along with some double sided foam tape.

The card was finished quickly and I plan to send it out soon! Hopefully I can keep my new year’s ewe promise this year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Happy New Year 2020 Balloon Card

/ CATEGORIES - Winter Holidays

Happy New Year’s Eve Everyone!!!

I am back again today to share with you my final card of 2019 because tomorrow starts off a brand new DECADE! Can you believe it? 

For today’s card, I wanted to create something fun and festive to celebrate the occasion and Balloons came to mind, so that’s what I used for inspiration. This would also make a great Birthday card too!

To begin, I blended out some balloons along the edges of the card panel using the BIRTHDAY BALLOONS DUO STENCIL and BLENDER BRUSHES. I worked my way down the panel in somewhat of rainbow order. See the list of Distress Oxide inks used in the supply list below. 

I then die cut the panel using the frame from the DARLING RIBBON & FRAMES set. 

Next, I die cut the balloons for the card front using the DOTTED BALLOONS DIES and the SHAKER BALLOON DIE using Bristol paper that I also ink blended out with the BLENDER BRUSHES. I also die cut the little bow using gold foil paper to add to the largest balloon later.

Before adhering and popping the balloons onto the card front I stamped out a few sentiments using the HOLIDAY VILLAGE stamp set and the number candles from KOBI THE BIRTHDAY BEAR stamp set. I colored the flames in using Copic markers and then colored in the candles with a gold gelly roll pen.

To embellish this party card, even more, I added 3M CRYSTAL RAINBOW SEQUINS all around and a few ICY SPARKLE CRYSTALS to the white spaces.

I hope my last card of 2019 inspired you today. On behalf of myself and the Studio Katia Team, I wanted to wish you all a very Happy New Year and may 2020 be kind to you all! Stay safe tonight, especially if you are going to be partying in the craft room 😅

Thank you for stopping by and until next YEAR… Happy Crafting 👋
