Ombre Botanical Hi.

/ CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone!

I’m glad to be back sharing my work here at Studio Katia Blog. 

This is a simple yet nice project that you can make in a fairly short time.

 

I started by inking a piece of heavy cardstock using SK blending brushes from the top to the bottom with salvage patina, peacock feathers and lucky clover inks, in that order. I started with a light hand and went down applying a heavier layer. 

After allowing the panel to dry well (you can use your heat embossing tool here), I then added a generous amount of antistatic powder and went ahead and stamped the image with the help of my stamping platform. This is important because if you miss any spots, you can replace the cardstock and stamp again. I used white embossing powder and heat set it. Once I was happy with the impression I added a bit more ink to the edges but still keeping the ombre look. 

I chose a piece of similar colour cardstock and added a layer to a card base. I fussy cut the entire floral image and used a marker of the same colour family as the inks and coloured the edges of the image. 

I stamped again the centre of the image on white heavy cardstock and cut out the word HI. And then added several layers of white embossing powder and heat set it every time. This gives a nice luster effect to the letters. I adhered it to the main panel using SK foam tape. 

Finally, I added a few crystal bubbles and sequins to give a little sparkle. I also made another card using the same technique but in hot pink, and for this I used the Sunshine of Hope stamp set. 

I think this would qualify as a CAS card, and it’s a nice way to show that a card doesn’t need to be too complicated to be pretty. 

I enjoyed this project very much and I hope it inspires you to create and to give it your own twist!

Thanks for visiting. See you next time!!!

Transparent vellum spider webs on a shaker card

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone!

Galina is here with a delicate & spooky shaker birthday card 🙂 I used a non-traditional color combo for a fun birthday card. I created a lot of webs using Spider Web Shaker die and a vellum to decorate the shaker panel.

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

I recommend using a double sided adhesive sheet or a wide tape to attach the spider web die cuts on the clear acetate sheet.  I put my adhiesive sheet on a back side of the vellum piece and run it throught the die cutting machine with the Speder web die. So, I got a few web stickers readdy to go.

I cut out a front panel from a BLACK ON WHITE PAPER SET using two dies from DOTTED SLIMLINE SET 1 and  DOTTED SLIMLINE SET 2. Also I cut out one more inner oval piece from a light pink cardstock.  Iniside of my shakere I put some crystals and sequins from Stuido Katia.

To create the sentiment I used CHUNKY ALPHABET and MINI SENDING GREETINGS stamp set. I cut out the letters from a black glitter cardstock and attached them in the center with a tape runner. I stamped only a part of the birthday sentiment to create the spooky phrase.

I decorated the spider webs with MARSHMALLOW PEARLS, they look like shiny water drops to me 🙂

Cactus shaker card

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone!

Galina with you and I want to show you how to create a shaker frame using small stamps, such as the CACTUS HUGS stamp set.

How to make this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel

I stamped all the images with black Memento ink, because I decided to color the cactus with my alcohol based copic markers. I pick all green shades I have in  my stash to create a super green card 🙂 For the first base layer I used G21, YG96, G12, YG05, YG45 and for shadows I used YG 66.

I fussy cut the window in the centre and attached a piece of a clear acetate sheet behind the frame.

I cut out a sentiment using SCRIPT THANKS DIE and white glitter cardstock. Also I stamped a small sentiment  from the SIMPLY ‘HI’ stamp set with black VersaFine ink. I stamped it below the die cut.

I filled my shaker with a lot of Tropical Forest Fusion sequins, IRIDESCENT SNOW CRYSTALS and Gold Dust Seed Beads.

Mini Slimline Halloween Card

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Other

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina with you! I want to share another Halloween theme card, this time featuring an awesome set called – SPOOKY PUMPKINS TRIMMINGS. And as all the trimming stamp set from Studio Katia it consists of two nice border stamps. You can use it separately or combine and create a standard A2 card background.

Also this stamp set works perfectly with a HALLOWEEN TRIMMINGS DIES.

How to make this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel.

I stamped the pumpkins on a white piece of paper using Memento black ink. I colored the image and the card background with Copic markers. I use such colors:

Orange Pumpkin: Y21, YR12, YR14, YR16, YR 18, E 25

Green Pumpkin: G82, G86, G20, G99, E25

Other elements: W01, W04, Letters: N9, N6, N4

Background: B00, BG06

To turn the stamped paper into a cute mini card panel I used MINI SLIMLINE: SET ONE, the largest die of the set. I cut out a sentiment with a HALLOWEEN TRIMMING DIES.

To finish the card I added white details with my gel pen and a few  IRIDESCENT CRYSTALS.

Thanks for stopping by.

Hi Foiled Shaker Card with Isha Gupta

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Hello Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone! Isha here with a foiled HI card but with a twist. We are not going to use the positive of the HI foiled part but the negative instead.

I started by foiling the word “HI”, I then too the negative part of the foil and using the pinkfresh studio solid foil plate, foiled it onto white cardstock. Die-cut using the Simply Hi Die. This leaves a nice foiled gold border around the word. I then sponged some pink ink to it to give a bit of color.

Next stamp the brushstroke from the Brushstrokes stamp in various colors. Die-cut the center using the scalloped circle die. Adhere vellum to the back of it to soften the effect.

Adhere the foam tape all around the opening and fill with Summer Fusion sequins mix. Adhere this to a grey card.

Die-cut the word hi three more times and stack them together. Adhere to the card. Stamp the butterfly from the Butterflies stamp onto vellum, die-cut using the coordinating dies. Stamp the sentiment from the Simply Hi stamp, emboss using white embossing powder. Adhere everything to the card.

To finish, I flicked some gold watercolor. Thank you for dropping by and have a nice day!

Shaker Hot Foil Hi

/ CATEGORIES - Other

Hello crafty peeps!

I’m glad to be here today sharing this project with the lovely hot foil Hi plate, one of my favorites from Studio Katia’s newest release. 

I started by prepping my hot foil platform and plate. Once it was all foiled, I used the matching die to cut it out and I also cut several extra pieces from thick cardstock, glued them all together and set them aside. 

I selected one sheet of the Black on White paper set and cut it into a 5 ¼ X 4 “ and from it, I cut a window in the centre. Leaving all the pieces still together, I added just a bit of glue to the centre of the cardstock and adhered it to the A2 cardbase, lifted the frame around and firmly secured the other piece in the centre adding more adhesive. To the frame, I adhered a piece of Studio Katia’s Acetate sheet to cover the open window and added foam tape all around it. 

I used a mix of Rainbow Wheels embellishment with clear sequins for the shaker and adhered the frame panel on top. 

I also stamped and heat embossed in white powder a sentiment from the same stamp set and cut it in a thin stripe. I adhered the hot foil Hi offset to the left and the stamped message on top of it. 

I really like how this card is both classic and fun and I hope it inspires you to create your own designs.  

Thanks for visiting and see you soon!

Partial die cutting with Tilips Stamp Set

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hello everyone!

Galina is here and I want to share with you one of my favorite die cutting techniques – partial die cutting. It’s perfect for creating one layered cards, but I couldn’t resist adding just a bit of dimension.

For my card I used a beautiful stamp set – HAPPY TULIPS with a coordinating die. There are a lot of cute small sentiments in the Tulip stamp set, for sure you can use them or try some big sentient lke I did.

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

I colored the tulip flowers with alcohol based markers called Copic markers. I used such colors : R21, R24, Y11, YR24, YG21, YG25, BG11, BG15.

Also, I used AUTUMN LEAVES STENCIL with a light grey distress ink to create a nice pattern on the bottom of my card.

I heat embossed the large sentiment using gold glitter embossing powder and stamped another sentiment with blck Versafine ink.

At last, I embellished the card with a few GOLD CRYSTALS. I attached them with a clear shiny side up.

Two quick hello cards by Galina

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone!

Today I want to share two easy cards I made using BOTANICAL ‘HI’ and SIMPLY ‘HI’ stamp sets. I added color to my cards using my favorite distress inks and Copic markers (just a little bit).

How to make these cards you can wathch here or on studio Katia Youtube Channel. 

I love to combine bright rainbow colors with a black and white card backgrounds. The new paper pad –BLACK ON WHITE PAPER SET is a perfect addition to any card with a colorful focal point.

After I placed all the die cut elements on the card base I got a lot of pretty leftovers and I decided to create another card, right away!

So I applied the same distress ink on a white paper and stamped a large sentiment from the SIMPLY ‘HI’ stamp set. I cut it out with a coordinating die and foam mount on a pattern paper piece. All other elements I attached with liquid glue.

Thanks for stopping by!
