Hello Friend!

/ CATEGORIES - Hello Cards

Good Morning, my crafty friends!

I’m glad to be back on the blog today with this cheery spring card, so let’s get right to the tutorial!

Let’s start off with the stenciled background.

Cut a 4.25 x 5.5 inch piece of white cardstock and tape it down to the back of your stencil. Turn your paper over (with the stencil on top), and use whatever inks you want to apply ink over the stencil on to your paper. I used Dried Marigold, Spun Sugar, and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks on this card, but you can use any dye or pigment inks you have on hand.

Once you’re finished with the ink blending, take you glimmer paste and some kind of application tool, and apply the glimmer paste over the stencil.

Carefully remove the stencil from your paper and rinse off with water. Let your ink blended panel dry and then you can focus on putting together the rest of the card!

Take a piece of colored cardstock that matches the color scheme of your ink blended panel and use the Dotted Patterns Set 4 die to cut the background scalloped panel for the card. Because this die cuts a panel and not a frame, you won’t be able to use the same die to cut your ink blended panel and use it as the negative space. But it’s still really easy to create the coordinating inside piece from your stenciled ink blended panel! Just measure the inside area of the scalloped panel you just cut and then trim your stenciled ink blended panel to be the same size!

After you’ve got your stenciled panel cut, glue it on top of your scalloped panel you cut from your colored cardstock, and then glue that assembly down to a cut and scored 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base.

Using the hexagonal-shaped die from the Half Striped Cover die, cut several frame pieces from the same colored cardstock and glue them together for dimension. Use that same die and cut a piece of white cardstock as well to use in the middle of the frames you just created and stamp your sentiment on it. I used the “hello” and “friend” stamps from the Floral Wreath stamp set, but you can use whatever you have on hand that fits on that inside frame piece!

Glue your frame assembly down to the card (hint – use a very strong adhesive since the stenciled panel is very thick with dimension because of the glimmer paste!), and then glue your stamped sentiment piece into the inside of the frames.

To finish off the card, glue down some hearts glitter in different places to tie everything together and pat yourself on the back for a job well done! 🙂

Thanks so much for joining me here on the blog today and I wish you the craftiest of weeks!

Partial shaker card using a DOTTED SQUARE FRAME DIE

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards, New Release

Hello everyone! It’s Galina with you today. And I can’t wait to share with you my new card and video. I made a partial shaker card using a DOTTED SQUARE FRAME DIE and FLORAL WREATH stam set.

How I made this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube chanel

 

I was inspired by color combo of tiny confetti from Studio Katia called RAINBOW DOTS GLITTER. I found in my stash perfectly matched inks and I created a colorful card with a shaker elements. For the ink blending I used distress inks: Picked Raspberry, twisted citron and mermaid lagoon. To create colorful elements on the card you can use copic markers as well, for example this color combo is matched with colors of confetti: YG01, RV55, B05.

To create floral elements I used a big wreath stamp, but I stamped on a small paper squares and I get a single flowers on each square.

I hope you will like this card 🙂 Have a great day!

Floral wreath card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I made a floral card to brighten somebodies day!

Take a look:

Today, it was a beautiful sunny day in Slovenia, so I went outside and I stamped out a Floral wreath stamp that I colored in using watercolor markers. I went with blues and purples for the blooms and green for the leaves.

Next, I trimmer the paper down to a square shape that is slightly smaller than the card base. I put a piece of gray card stock behind it to create a simple backdrop.

Then, I stamped a word ‘sending’ from Japanese peony stamp set in black ink in the right part of the circle. I die cut the word ‘hugs’ from the Lovely words in the same gray card stock I used for the background and the sentiment now reads ‘Sending hugs’.

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

Thank you for joining me!

Light Up the World with Tracey

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Other

Hi there it’s Tracey here today hoping to bring you a smile when there is so much going on in our world. Today I have a card using the very cute Paws for Kindness stamps and dies!

I stamped the girl with the cat and dog and coloured the images with Copic Markers. The image was die cut using the co-ordinating dies and set aside.

I prepared the main panel by die cutting the Scallop Honeycomb Cover from white cardstock. Before I stenciled the panel I taped down to my craft mat with Purple Tape so it wouldn’t shift underneath the stencil. I placed the Love for Paws Stencil over the panel and taped it down to my craft mat also with Purple Tape . Using the Studio Katia blending brushes I blended Distress Oxide inks inside the stitched border starting at the bottom of the panel and worked towards the top. I used Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks.

The sentiment was added to the top of the panel using the Paws for Kindness stamp set. The top line ‘light up the world with’ was white embossed and then die cut using one of the new banner dies from the Studio Katia Peony Trimmings die set.

I covered the card front with a piece of blue cardstock that co-ordinated with the stenciling. Then the Scallop Honeycomb Cover was attached using Studio Katia doubled-sided white foam tape. To finish off the card I attached the girl with the cat and dog also with the doubled-sided white foam tape.

I think the sentiment created with the Paws for Kindness stamp set is very appropriate with all that is going on in the world today. This one will go out to a friend that needs a hug during this time of social distancing. Thank you so much for joining me today. Wishing you all good health and happiness.

Peony Trimmings Hexagon Shaker Card by Ilda

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello Friends and Happy St. Patrick’s Day!

I hope you are all staying safe and enjoying some downtime with your family at home during this pandemic in this crazy world around us. If you are alone, make sure you are staying active on social media. This is a great time to be more social virtually. Hopefully, this virus will be contained soon so we can return to our usual life and the kids can go back to school. In the meantime, let’s make the most of it and do our part to keep our families and our community safe by staying at home. Being a nurse I do have to go to work but will do my best to be safe when caring for my patients and hopefully not bring any virus home with me. 

Peony Trimmings Hexagon Shaker Card | Studio Katia

I don’t have a St.Patty’s day card to share but it is definitely Spring-inspired which gives me hope for the future. I cannot wait to see some color in my back yard and see the busy bees back at work in my garden.

To begin I stamped and white heat embossed the PEONY TRIMMINGS. I then colored them in using Arteza Brush pens. I then die cut the flowers with the coordinating PEONY TRIMMINGS dies.

Next, I die cut the background using the MICRO HEXAGON COVER and glued a CLEAR ACETATE SHEET to the back of the die-cut panel. To the background, I added a thin strip of foam tape along the perimeter to create the shaker area. I then added the MAJESTIC GLITTER and the IRIDESCENT CRYSTALS to the top of the card front base and glued down the Hexagon cover.

To finish up and embellish the card further, I added the cute little be from the HONEY BEES stamp and DIE set

The sentiment also comes from the PEONY TRIMMINGS that I then stamped onto a banner from the PEONY TRIMMINGS Die set.

For an added touch of shine, I added some IRIDESCENT BUBBLES in various sizes.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you were inspired by this Spring Peony Trimmings Hexagon Shaker Card. Until next time… Happy Crafting and make sure to wash your hands!

Just For You with Dana

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Shaker Cards

Happy Monday, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m sharing a spring floral card with you today.

To begin, I stamped Peony Trimmings with copic friendly hybrid ink onto white card stock. I cut it out using Peony Trimmings Dies and craft knife. I then colored them in with copic and alcohol markers and added white dots here and there using white gel pen.

For next step, I die cut cover die from white card stock using Dotted Patterns Set 4. I also die cut shaker window using one of Fancy Scallop Hearts Dies. I then built a shaker with Acetate Sheets, Rainbow Dots Polymer Clay, Blossom Sparkle Crystals, Sparkling Crystals and foam tape. After I mounted light yellow paper onto A2 sized kraft card base, I adhered my shaker on it.

For sentiment, I die cut a banner using Peony Trimmings Dies. I then heat embossed a sentiment from Peony Trimmings in silver.

As a final touch, I popped up all elements using foam tape as shown in the picture.

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

Easy Shaker Card with Laura

/ CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with an easy shaker card featuring the Paws for Kindness stamp set. There is also a video at the end of this post, showing the entire process!

I started by die cutting some watercolor cardstock to create my shaker. For the base I used the Darling Ribbon and Frames dies, for the top panel I used the Dotted Patterns set 4 dies and for the shaker window I used the Shaker Heart die.

I did some ink blending on the shaker base with my Studio Katia blending brushes and Spectrum Noir Harmony Ink in the Color Fuchsia. I also did some ink blending with the same ink and the Love For Paws stencil on a separate piece of watercolor cardstock. This will be the shaker background.

For my shaker elements I used Majestic Glitter and Chunky Sparkle Glitter.

The image I used on today’s card is part of the Paws for Kindness set. I stamped it with Spectrum Noir Black alcohol proof ink, colored it with Illustrator Markers and die cut it with the coordinating dies.

Here is the list of markers I used

Skin: TN5, TN3, FS5, FS8, FS9
Hair: LY1, GB3, GB5
T-Shirt: LV3, HB3, HB2, HB1
Shorts: TB9
Shoes: VB3, VB1
Cat: BO4, BO3, BO1, GY2
Dog: GY5, GY3, GY1, BO4, BO3, BG3

For the sentiment I used one of the dies in the Lovely Word Dies to cut some black cardstock. I embellished the card with some Iridescent Heart Crystals and a bit of sparkle from a Scrapbook.com Glitter Brush pen.

And that’s my card for today! If you are interested in a step by step tutorial, you can watch the video down below! And don’t forget to subscribe to the Studio Katia channel for more inspiration!

Thank you all for stopping by and have a great day!

Hello Friend Shaker Card with Isha Gupta

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a floral shaker card with you today. I wanted to use yellow as we have daffodils in bloom and I love the bright pop of color somehow 🙂  

I started by making a white top fold cardbase. I cut a mat layer and applied distress inks using the blender brushes. I really love these brushes as the end result is this smooth blending. I then flicked some white paint  and let this dry. I stamped the pretty Floral Wreath using memento black ink onto a copic friendly paper and colored the image using copic markers. Fussy cut the image. Die-cut a circle in the wreath center and the mat layer. Adhere the mat layer to the cardbase. Adhere the clear acetate sheet behind the wreath. Apply 3D foam tape at the back, all around the circle opening to create a window. Put some Silver Fever Glitter to the center of the card. Adhere the wreath to the card. This will create a fun shaker card.  

Take a white card and die-cut the word “HELLO”. Apply clear sticky ink and add WOW! embossing powder (Earthtone Honey) to it. Repeat this step twice to get a nice 3D effect. Finally, apply clear glitter embossing powder and heat set for a sparkly effect to match the glittery glitter 🙂 Adhere the word to the card. Stamp the sentiment and adhere below the HELLO. To finish apply a few Dark Sparkle Crystals.

Thank you for dropping by!

Have a nice crafty day!

Birthday Fishes!

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards

Hey Friends!

I’m back on the blog today with this festive underwater birthday card!

I started out by creating the background of the card panel. I cut and scored a 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base and then placed it in my MISTI.

Using the Brush Strokes Stripes stamp set and various shades of dye inks, inked up several different stripes in the set and then stamped them down on to my card.

I then stamped some images from the Under the Sea stamp set on to a scrap piece of white cardstock and then colored them with my copic markers. I used the coordinating die set to cut out the images and then glued them down to the card.

I also glued down some Poseidon crystals for added shine and then stamped a sentiment to complete the look of the card. I then felt like the card was looking a little unfinished, so I created a frame for the card using the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frame die set by cutting out the panel and then using my paper trimmer to cut around the inside edge where the die left an imprint.

After gluing down the frame to the card, I called it a day! I plan to give this card to my sweet mother-in-law who is celebrating her birthday very soon!! I know she’s going to smile so big when she gets this card – and isn’t that the ultimate joy of cardmaking? To spread the love!!

Thank you so much for joining me here on the blog today, and happy crafting!
