Sending Sunshine with Tracy

May 10, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today sharing a card that can be used for a couple of things, I made it to send a friend going through a bit of a tough time.

It also shows you can make a card without many supplies.

I started off by die cutting the cloud and main piece using the Sky Set Borders die set and the Scallop Hearts Cover die. Once this was done I took the Underwater Sun Rays stencil and I turned it so the rays would be at an angle. I used Spectrum Noir Harmony Ink pad to ink through the stencil making sure to concerntrate the colour towards the top of the card.

Whilst the ink was drying I took two of the word stamps from the Aloha stamp set and stamped them onto the cloud.

I then used 3d foam pads to adhere the cloud to the stenciled piece. I created a top folding card base from some Yellow card stock and adhered this panel to it.

To finish off I added some of the Majestic Sequin mix across the card and it was done.

I hope you like the card and I have inspired you. Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have an amazing day and an awesome weekend.

Happy crafting.

Supplies:

Sky Set Borders Die Set.

Mother’s Day Card with Liliuska

May 9, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hello Everyone!

Liliuska here and I have a Mother’s Day card to share with you today made using Aloha stamp set.

I like to colour stamped images from time to time. I don’t have a plan at that time usually, I simply pull out some watercolour supplies and have fun playing with them. It saves me time later if I need to make a quick card.

To match my watercoloured image I took a piece of watercolour paper, made a quick watercolour background by scribbling with water colour markers on my glass mat, spritzed it with water and put the paper into that colourful puddle. Once it was dry I die cut out a panel out of it using frame die from DOTTED PATTERNS SET 1 and dry embossed it using GRID STENCIL. I added some splatter with yellow, black and white paint.

I decided to heat emboss a sentiment with white embossing powder on a piece of black cardstock. I took a love you sentiment from FLORAL WREATH and did a little stamp surgery to stamp the two words in a row. I added MOM word from BEST EVER stamp set underneath.

I foam mounted watercolour panel onto a yellow card base, I also foam mounted the sentiment and flower image. Final touch – some SNOW CRYSTALS all over the card.

Hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration. Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Save The Date See Through Window Shaker

May 8, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Shaker Cards

Hey Everybody, Ilda here, and I am back with a wedding themed card today. This time it is for a Save the Date Invitation See Through Window Shaker. I think this would also make a great destination wedding card idea.

To begin, I lined up the beige cardstock piece with the card base then ran them both through the die cut machine using the SHAKER HEART DIE to ensure the heart windows line up. I then used the same die to die cut the gold heart frame that will be glued on later. To the edge of the beige panel, I added the scalloped edge by die cutting the piece using the outer frame from the SCALLOP HEARTS COVER.

Next, I added a piece of ACETATE behind the heart opening and glued the gold heart to the edge of the window. I then flipped over the piece and created a foam tape well around the heart to fill with the sequins and shaker bits (see supplies listed below). Then cut another piece of acetate to lock in all my shaker pieces. Next, I added foam tape to the backside of the shaker panel, removed the protective backing from the foam tape and lined it up to the opening of the card base and glued it in place using the heart window to make sure it all lined up properly.

I then stamped out the stars from the STAR DATE set and embossed them in gold embossing powder and die cute them with the coordinating STAR DATE Dies. I then stamped in their little faces and colored them in using Zig markers and also added glossy accents details for a little shine. For fun and even more shine, I added the IRIDESCENT BUBBLES to the front of the card.

On the inside of the card, right where the window opens I blended out the sun rays using the UNDERWATER SUN RAYS stencil and then just used some masking tape to blend out the sand and the ocean. Lastly, I stamped out the save the date sentiment.

I hope you got some inspiration from this Save The Date See Through Window Shaker. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Ilda

Have a SHARK-TASTIC party with Natalia

May 7, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Other

Hi there! It’s Natalia here and today I share with you my super cute diorama/shadow box card using beautiful Studio Katia supplies from the latest release – JAWSOME and UNDER THE SEA.

First, I stamped the cute images from the JAWSOME and UNDER THE SEA. Colored with copic markers and die cutting them with coordinating dies.

Next, I blended some distress inks onto white piece of paper. One of the panels I inked using BRUSH STROKE WAVES CREATIVE STENCIL and Nuvo Glimmer paste. Another 3 white pieces of paper I die cutting with SCALLOP OBL ONG, DARLING RIBBON & FRAMES CREATIVE DIES At the end I cut big simple frame using paper knife.

This 3 panels had next dimensions: 13.6 x 16.6, 13.6 x 14.6 and 13.6 x 12.6. Panels scored at 3 and 13.6; 2 and 12.6; 1 and 11.6 accordingly and the flaps are glued together after the overlap. Then I diecut windows in decreasing size in the center of each to get more of a tunneled-look to my card. (All dimensions are in cm.)

Placed all the elements on the white paper panels using double-sided foam tape. Heat embossed the sentiment from JAWSOME stamp set using white powder.

Thank you so much for join me today, have a great day!

Double Masked Backgrounds

May 6, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards

Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today sharing a project with not one, but two layers of masking on the background! I can always use masculine or gender neutral birthday cards for those little boy birthday parties, so I thought I’d pair the adorable Kobi Bearing Gifts with some fun stenciling and masking to create a birthday card perfect for a little guy! Let’s get started with the details.

I began by masking around the edges of a white A2 panel of card stock using painter’s tape. I then used blending brushes and coral and pale blue inks to do a bit of blending at the top and bottom. While the masks were still in place along the edges of the card base, I adhered the Confetti Stencil and added some silver glitter paste, keeping the confetti concentrated at the top of the blended area and fading out towards the bottom. I removed the stencil and the mask to reveal a bright white frame around my masked and stenciled area!! Masking is like magic to me. I love that final reveal!

While the stenciled panel was drying, I stamped Kobi Bearing Gifts, a balloon, and an extra gift onto some white card stock, then colored him with my Copic markers in shades of coral, aqua, blue, and peach. (A lovely, neutral color scheme, no?) I used the coordinating dies to cut everything out.

I stamped “Hooray” three times on some strips of white card stock, then adhered the die cuts and sentiment strips to the stenciled card front using foam adhesive.

Well, that’s all for my project today! I hope you’ll try some double masking on your own projects… so much fun to watch that final reveal of the mask being pulled away. Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a marvelous Monday!

Thanks a Bunch with Isha Gupta

May 4, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, New Release, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a CAS card using no-line pencil coloring along with stencil and various stamps.

I started by creating a white mat layer. Now, I sponged some distress inks through the stencil and apply a little perfect pearl in gold. I then stamped the circle from the Brush Strokes stamp set in gold ink. I also stamped the splatter using light mint ink. I flicked some black ink to the panel and let it dry.

I then stamped the potted flower using a very light ink and colored it using pencil colors. This image was so much fun to color 🙂 Die-cut using the coordinating die. Stamp the sentiment to a white stripe and cut it diagonally. Adhere the plant pot to this stripe. Adhere this to the mat layer and then the layer to the card base.

To finish, I adhered some gems.

March Release Card Ideas with Liliuska

May 2, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Floral Cards, Shaker Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello Everyone!

Since today is Thursday, and many crafters often do throwback Thursdays, I thought I’ll revisit you some of the cards I made for the March Release Full Release Video.

First card uses fun Studio Katia European Window die. I love that it has a dotted frame and has a very elegant look. You can use it as is, but I wanted to make it into a shaker using acetate sheets, colour matches perfectly. To keep sequins and confetti in different spots of the shaker, I placed foam tape strip in the middle of the window as well. I think it works much better than.

I coloured the images with alcohol markers and adhered them onto the window, popping the cacti image onto a piece of foam tape. I stamped the sentiment on a separate strip which I foam mounted on top of another strip of paper with cut out “fish tales”.

My next card I made using GRID COVER die and ALOHA stamp set. I coloured the image with alcohol markers. For the shaker background I used white woodgrain cardstock and filled the shaker with lots of different sequins and confetti, playing with the colours I used on flowers. I used BLUE SKY, SPARKLING SEA CONFETTI, MAJESTIC CONFETTI and SILVER FOIL STARS.

In order for the sequins to be present on both sides of the flower image, I’ve added a strip of foam tape, hiding it under the image. This way I will always have sequins on both sides of the shaker. I wanted to add a sentiment that wouldn’t stand out too much, that’s why I used 30lb vellum and heat embossed a Thank you sentiment using white embossing powder.

For my next card I used beautiful SHAKER HEART die. I used the middle heart as a template to pop in all the small pieces and added a heart shaped frame around it. I like the look I achieved this way.

I made this into a thank you card by adding a Thank you for kindness sentiment. I didn’t want a sentiment to stand out and take away from the die cut heart, so I used clear glitter embossing powder for the word kindness, I stamped the words ‘thank you for your’ with embossing ink and covered them with golden perfect pearls. It adds very fun look to the card. I wish it was possible to take a better picture of this.

My last two cards I made using SCALLOP HEARTS die, making one into a shaker.

Similarly to the previous two shaker cards I used foam tape strips here, to separate all heart windows and have crystals and sequins move in them separately instead of running all over the card and hiding under the paper. I added thin sentiments, stamping them with the ink that was slightly darker shade of my cardstock, as I wanted them to be visible, but not take away from the shaker windows.

For this card I dry embossed the hearts using the die from SCALLOP HEARTS die set. I embellished the card with die cut heart frames I had left over from the previous card. I stamped xoxo in some of the hears and covered pink heart in the middle with glitter pen.

For the inside I used a negative die cut from SHAKER HEART die and lightly ink blended the middle of it. I stamped Happy Birthday with the same blue ink.

Hope you like all different tips and ideas I shared with you today!

Have a wonderful and inspiring day!

Shark-tastick birthday card with Galina

May 1, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, New Release, Other

Hi everyone! It’s Galina and I’m ready to share with you one more card with amazing Jawsome stamp set. This time I decided to make a night scene inside of heart shaped window. Because all cool birthday parties begins in the evening! 🙂

I started with creating night sky, I simply apply yellow distress ink on a right corner and then I apply blue distress inks all over yellow spot. Next I draw waves with copic markers and add few white stars with white gel pen. I cut out moon and few clouds from white cardstock and color them with markers.

Also I cut out a rectangle panel and heart inside of it. I foam mount this panel on my colorful background. I stamp and color shark boy (just adore him:)) with copic markers and I put a beautiful fish bouquet in his fin.

At last I stamped sentiment with versa mark black ink and add few sequins to embellish my card.

Hope you lke this card!

See you soon

Miss You Friendship Card + Video by Ilda

April 30, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS

Hey Everybody, Ilda here today!

Hope your week is off to a great start. I have a super fun card to share with you today featuring the new MOSAIC HEART Stencil. It’s great for making backgrounds or highlighting a few as I have in today’s card.

So for those of you that would rather watch the process video, this is for you! Don’t forget to →Subscribe to the Studio Katia Channel for future inspiration!

I began this card by masking and then blending distress oxide inks onto 3 of hearts from the MOSAIC HEART Stencil. I started with mustard seed oxide ink in the first heart, then picked raspberry and then peacock feathers. I then blended the adjacent colors to create a mixed color in between. After that, I added glimmer paste to the top of the hearts and set it aside to dry while I die cut the script friend from the SPRING BOUQUET coordinating die three times and glued it together.

Once the hearts were dry I ran the panel through the die cutter using the large rectangular frame from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3 CREATIVE DIES. I then stamped out the “I Miss You” sentiment from the JAWSOME Stamp Set.

To the card base, I thought it looked best if I added the same sparkly colors to the outer edges before gluing on the panel. So I masked the card front off at the center fold mark of the card base and blended out the same colors again that I had used on the hearts and added a layer of glimmer paste. Once that was dry I glued on the top panel.

To embellish the card, I added the clear transparent crystals from the SUNNY TOPAZ CRYSTALS, OCTOBER CRYSTALS, and the MARCH CRYSTALS. To dot the “i”, I used an IRIDESCENT BUBBLE.

I hope you got some inspiration from today’s Miss You Friendship card and video. Thanks for spending some time here with me. Have a wonderful day!!!

Hugs, Ilda
