Floral Card with Olga

March 29, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello friends! Olga is here. Today I want to show you my new card featuring our FLORAL CROSS stamp set in an unusual way.

The stamp has the shape of a cross, and I thought, what if I’ll place the crosses diagonally and connect them. When I did that I got an image of wooden slats that wrap around flowers.

To create this background, I only needed the stamp, my alcohol markers and a black liner. Once I finished colouring my background I stamped the sentiments from the PEONY TRIMMINGS set with Versamark ink and heat embossed it in white embossing powder on a Lime Green cardstock. Next, I die cut out the sentiments using PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES and foam mounted them on my card.

To embellish the card I used GOLD FEVER CONFETTI.

Hope you will like my idea and will try it yourself. Have a nice day!

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today. I think we can all agree the world is a crazy place at the moment, but what a better time to send a card to someone to cheer them up.

I have used the A Cup Of Thanks Stamp set for my card today, I love this stamp set and its so perfect for this kind of card.

I stamped onto some Neenah and then coloured using Spectrum Noir TriBlend markers and then used the matching A Cup Of Thanks die.

I then took some more Neenah and used the Dotted Patterns Set 4 main die and die cut the panel. I was going to leave this blank but instead added a light area of ink to sit behind the cup. I also added a sentiment from the You’re So Sweet stamp set.

I decided to try something slightly different and add some twine to the outside of the die, this is a great way to dress an eyelet die like this and is so easy to do.

To give some dimension I usedFoam tape to adhere the cup and also to adhere the panel to some patterned paper which I then adhered to an A2 card.

I really like how this card turned out. I hope you are all staying crafty during this period and staying safe.

Happy crafting.

Rainbow Hello Card with Isha

March 25, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hello everyone! Isha here with a rainbow stenciled card today. Hope you all are staying safe. I wanted to create a fun, cheerful card and rainbows I feel are full of hope and brightens any gloomy day. I used the Ink Splash stencil and added more interest by overlapping parts of it.

I started by making a white top fold cardbase. I die-cut the Half Striped Cover die and label from Dotted Patterns Set 4 from white cardstock. Using the blender brushes, I applied distress oxide inks in spun sugar, squeezed lemonade, wild honey, peacock feathers, wilted violet, worn lipstick and twisted citron through the stencil onto the cardbase. I used the big splat part first. Now I applied the similar colors of ink through the small splatters over the first layer. I then flicked some water. once dry, I flicked some gold watercolor to it. I then die-cut the word HELLO, applied embossing ink and embossed it using WOW! Pearl Gold Sparkle embossing powder. Repeat the process two more times. Stamp the sentiment onto the label.

Adhere the half striped cover die-cut and the sentiment label to the card. Adhere the word. To finish apply a few gold sparkle Crystals. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day! Isha

Easy Watercolor Background with Laura

March 24, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with a bright and cheerful card and a video showing how to create an easy watercolor background with Distress Ink Reinkers!

I created the background on some watercolor cardstock that I had die cut with the Scallop Heart Cover die. I wet the panel with water and added a few drops of Distress Reinkers in Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass.

I also added some droplets with water, my Distress Inks, white acrylic paint and Spectrum Noir Sparkle ink in the color Jade.

The images I used today are part of the Under the Sea stamp set. I stamped them with Spectrum Noir black alcohol proof ink on Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock and colored them with Illustrator markers.

Here is the list of markers I used

Manta Ray: LV3, HB3, HB2, HB1
Jelly Fish: BP7, BP5, BP3, BP1
Squid: OR1, GY3, CT4, CT2
Puffer Fish: JG5, GT3, GT2, GT1
Sea Horse: TB5, TB3, TB1
Crab: CT10, CT7, CT4
Tiny Fish: CT4, CT2, LY1
Star Fish: OR3, OR2, OR1
Sea Weed: CT4, CT2, CT1
Coral: BT6, IB3, IB2, IB1
Rocks: IG7, IG5, IG3

Once the coloring was over, I die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

For the sentiment I used the Lovely Words dies and for the black card background I used the Darling Ribbon and Frames dies.

I added some finishing touches with a glitter brush pen, a white gel pen and a black glaze pen. I mounted everything on a side folding card base and that finished off my card.

If you are interested in seeing the step by step process, here’s my video for you! I hope you like it!

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

Hello Friend!

March 23, 2020 / 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

March 20, 2020 / 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

March 19, 2020 / 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

March 18, 2020 / 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

March 17, 2020 / 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.

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

Peony Trimmings Hexagon Shaker Card | Studio Katia

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!
