Holiday Village with Rubeena

November 13, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Other

Good morning, Studio Katia friends! Rubeena here with a card that’s so fun. I used Holiday Village to create a fun winter scene.

I started by stamping the images from the set several times on watercolor paper. I colored them with Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors and die-cut them with the coordinating dies. For the base, I stamped the snowflakes on watercolor paper with clear embossing ink and heat-embossed in white. I watercolored a night sky and then added white paint splatters once it dried. I adhered the panel to my folded card base.

For the sentiments, I stamped “holiday wishes” and “from our home to yours” on kraft cardstock with clear embossing ink and heat-embossed in white. I trimmed it down and mounted it over the panel.

I arranged the images over the background with foam tape for dimension. How cute, right?!

I hope you were inspired to create today. Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂

A Cup of Poinsettia Wishes Christmas Card by Ilda

November 12, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello my friends, Ilda here!

Today I have a Christmas card to share with you, done in a non-traditional Christmas color palette. I wanted to use the Poinsettia Trimmings Stamp set but wanted to have fun with coloring them in other than red. I am also participating in Kathy Raccosin’s 30 Day Coloring Challenge and used this as an opportunity to learn from my coloring. I’m sure this would card would have turned out beautifully as well done in a red and green Christmas palette, but this way you can see all how fun the poinsettias look done in a variety of colors.

To make this card I began by stamping out the teacup from the Cup of Thanks set and masking off the top. I then removed the mask and did some partial stamping of the Poinsettia Trimmings stamp, by only inking the areas I wanted to stamp out and wiping off ink of any adjacent flowers before stamping out the image. Next, I used Copic Markers to color in the cup of poinsettias and then used the cup of thanks coordinating die to do a partial die cut of the cup. I then fussy cut the poinsettia area and the space in between the cup handle that I had drawn in to connect the lines that were missing. I then finished off the images by adding some silver detailing on the rim of the cup with a silver gelly roller pen and then added some silver crystals to the saucer. To the center of the poinsettias and berries, I added glossy accents.

The background was made using the Halftone Dots Cover Die and gluing that piece onto Silver Glitter cardstock.

The Silver embossed sentiment strips come from both the Cup of Thanks and the Holiday Village Stamp sets.

To complete the card, I adhered all the elements onto the card base using foam tape.

I hope you enjoyed this Cup of Poinsettia Wishes Christmas Card. Thank you all for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Hi everyone, it’s Galina! Today I want to share with you a winter card.

At first I cut a card panel in a half using border die. To create card background I used beautiful Mandala stencil, I simply I applied few colors of distress ink through the mask and with second layer I applied transparent Nuvo Glimmer paste.

On the bottom of my card panel I add three color of distress ink using blending tool and heat embossed a sentiment. I used a fine detailed white embossing powder to get nice image with tiny lines.

At last I stamped and colored houses, trees and little snow men. I cut all images with coordinating dies.

At last I adhere all elements onto white card base and my card is done.

Have a great day!

Merry Christmas with Kristina

November 8, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! It’s Kristina here and it’s time for a Christmas card! I used gorgeous Poinsettia Trimmings for my card.

First, I stamped the images from stamp set onto watercolor paper with clear embossing ink and gold heat embossed. Next, I loosely watercolored the images with watercolors. Once it was dry, I took my Prismacolor pencils and add the depth on some of the leaves and flowers.

Then, I die cut Merry out of gold cardstock and adhered onto my watercolored piece. I stamped Christmas onto tiny stripe of black cardstock with clear inks and gold heat embossed and adhered onto my panel with foam tape. I foam mounted my panel onto kraft card base and finished my card with sequins.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Merry Poinsettia Christmas Card with Erum

November 6, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello there everyone!

Erum here today with a simple Christmas card for you!

My card features the Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set. I watercoloured this with distress inks. The only two colours I used were Aged Mahogany and Black Soot. All the stamping was second generation so that I don’t get a very hard, prominent outline. Next, I used the same inks to colour the images.

I used the frame from Dotted Shaker Tag 2 as a base to add my sentiment on. The word “joy” is part of the Merry Poinsettia Die Set.

Before placing my images, I added a few black paint splatters. To finish off, I adhered some Majestic Confetti.

I hope you liked my card. I love how it turned out!

Thank you for stopping by!

Christmas Card with Laura

November 5, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a Christmas card I created with the new Poinsettia Trimmings stamp set and the Friends of Winter stamp set.

As a first step I created my background. I blended Distress Oxide in Candied Apple on some watercolor cardstock, creating an ombre effect. I then used the same Candied Apple Distress Oxide to repeatedly stamp the images in the Merry Poinsettia stamp set. I spritzed the background with water and die cut it with one of the dies in the Dotted Patterns – set 3 dies.

I then stamped the little elf in the Friends of Winter stamp set, and colored him with Spectrum Noir markers. I then used the coordinating dies to die cut the image.
In order to separate the image from the background, I die cut some vellum using another die in the Dotted Patterns Set 3 dies, and used it as focal panel for this adorable character.
I die cut some white cardstock with the Darling Ribbon and Frames, and assembled my card.

I heat embossed one of the sentiments from the friend of winter stamp set with white embossing powder, and created a strip as wide as my card base. As a finishing touch I glued some gold foil confetti using the Studio Katia glue.

And that’s it for today! I really hope you liked this card, and I hope I inspired you to create with the Poinsettia Trimmings and the Friends of Winter stamp sets! Thank you all so much for stopping by, and have a great day!

Poinsettia Shaker Card with Dana

November 3, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello, everyone!

It’s Dana from Dana G.Crafts and I’m back with holiday shaker card today.

To start, I stamped Poinsettia Trimmings image onto white card stock using embossing ink and heat embossed it with red embossing powder.

I colored flowers with Copic markers and fussy cut it using scissors. I applied Nuvo Crystal Drops Simply White to some part of them as well.

Next, I started to make a shaker like snow globe. I die cut a shaker window using Dotted Patterns Set 3 from kraft and white card stock. I added clear acetate and foam adhesive to it and prepared Holiday Cheer Confetti and Classic Christmas Confetti together in a triangle tray.

For shaker background, I pulled out bristol paper and ink blended it with Tumbled Glass and Bundled Sage Distress Oxide Inks. Then, I built a shaker by arranging prepared ones onto A2 sized white card base.

I white heat embossed a sentiment from same stamp set onto green card stock and trimmed down and popped up as shown in the picture using foam tape. As a final touch, I splattered white ink using spray here and there.

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

Poinsettia Christmas card with Kaja

November 1, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have a watercolored Christmas card prepared for you!

Take a look:

Watercoloring makes me calm, so I stamped out the whole background using the Poinsettia trimmings stamp set and started coloring. It took me more than half an hour to color everything in but it was worth it! For the coloring I used ZIG watercolored markers and a water brush.

Once everything was colored, I took the rectangle from the Dotted patterns set 3 and I die cut my background with it. The die gives a beautiful dotted edge along with rounded corners which makes the background even more gorgeous.

Next, I took some vellum and die cut an oval out of it using the second biggest die from the Dotted ovals stamp set. I used vellum because I didn’t want to cover too much of the background I spent so much time coloring. 🙂

Of course I also needed a sentiment and I decided to go with a ‘Merry Christmas’. I stamped out the word ‘Christmas’ from the Poinsettia trimmings set in black ink and for the ‘Merry’ I used the die that is included in the Merry poinsetta coordinating dies.

I used the Studio Katia glue to glue everything together, the only thing I popped up with some foam tape was the word ‘Christmas’. I was really carefull with glueing down the vellum since I didn’t want the glue to show through it.

The last thing I added was some clear drops around the sentiment and that finished off the card!

That’s it for today, hope to see you again soon!

Kaja

Merriest Wishes with Rubeena

October 31, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Good morning, Studio Katia friends! Rubeena here with a watercolored holiday card using Poinsettia Trimmings. Have you started on your holiday cards yet? This would be a great set to use if you enjoy coloring flowers.

I started by stamping the images on watercolor paper in different angles with black waterproof ink. Then I used my Daniel Smith Extra Fine Watercolors to watercolor. I added some green shadows around the images to give the illusion of greenery.

I stamped the sentiment using the waterproof black ink. I added some Iridescent Crystals in the center.

I hope you were inspired to create today. Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂
