Interactive card with potted plants stamp

January 24, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! It’s Galina. I want to share with you a card with a hidden secret using Potted Plants stamp set and few small dies from FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES set and ELEGANT SCALLOP OVAL die set.

I colored this card with a pencils. I stamped images with light green distress ink and colored them little bit over the lines, to create a no-line effect. I cut out stamped images with and plant them into the big pots. Few days ago I shared a similar card and how to create this big pots for the stamped flowers, video is avaible HERE. I cut out few half oval elements and apply brown ink on them using Bleder brushes.

But for today’s card I used another little die which can be combined with FANCY SCALLOPED CIRCLE die set. It’s a half oval die for creating peek-a-boo elements on the cards 🙂 This little die is a part of ELEGANT SCALLOP OVAL die set.

I cut out a door in the pot and stamped one more sentiment inside of the pot. Also I add cute smiling face on the lid and tiny heart on the bottom. This tiny heart die you can find in the POTTED PLANTS coordinating die set.

For the card background I picked ivory color cardstock and made a dry embossing on it using GRID COVER die, it works fine for wall imitation on the cards.

Hope you like this card!

Thanks for stopping by!

I Simply Love You

January 23, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hey lovelies, It’s Tracy with you today sharing my latest design team card.

Valentines day is very nearly here (It’s scary how quick time flies) and although me and hubs don’t do Valentines, but I do really enjoy creating projects for it.

I know a lot of people out there aren’t colourists so I wanted to do a non colouring card using the beautiful Scallop Hearts Cover Die.

No you are not seeing things, I Inkyfingers And Ribbon did infact make a shaker card !! I love cover dies as that make Shakers SO much easier.

I started off by diecutting some Neenah and then I trimmed a second piece just a bit smaller. I used the awesome Ink Blender Brushes and Spectrum Noir Harmony Ink and inked both pieces off, giving it a bit of an ombre look. I then added some water droplets and let it dry.

Whilst that was drying I took the die and die cut some gold glitter card. I also created a top folding A2 card.

Once dry I stamped the beautiful sentiment from theLovely Blooms Stamp set. I then assembled the shaker, starting off with adding some thick Acetate and Foam tape. I was going to use sequins but decided to use Gold Crystals instead. The piece of card I inked up I adhered so it was the backer piece of the shaker card.

I decided to fill one of the hearts with the gold card and for the rest of the hearts I used just the outline pieces.

I love how this turned out, I might even break the habit and give hubs a Valentines day card !

Thank You card with Isha Gupta

January 22, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a pretty pastel floral thank you card. I always need thank you cards so it’s a good idea to keep up my collection. What kind of cards do you tend to make the most?

I started by creating a square white cardbase. Now, I took a white layer and sponged tumbled glass distress oxide using the blending brushes to it. Die-cut this piece using the Dotted Nested Square die. I then die-cut the oval using the Elegant Scallop Oval die. I flicked some white paint to this piece and let dry. I adhered this layer to the cardbase. Now, I stamped the sentiment using clear ink and em,bossed it using Vintage Peacock embossing powder by WOW! I stamped and embossed the tiny floral using white embossing powder onto vellum. Color the flowers using copic markers. I always add the touch of color to the back side of my vellum flowers. Adhere the flowers to form a triangle to emphasize onto the sentiment.

To finish, I added some Icy Sparkle Crystals to the flower centers.. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day!

Hello Card with Olga

January 21, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Hello Cards

Hello friends! Olga is here and I’ve got some cute inspiration for you today.

Today’s card features an older Studio Katia stamp set that I still love very much – the Whimsical Town set. Those dancing houses are so fun! But when I saw Paws For Kindness Bundle with this cute little girl, I knew I must create a summer town scene with it.

I stamped several images from both sets in a black hybrid ink and colored them up with copic markers. I then used the matching dies to die cut the images out.

Next, I worked on ink blending a summer sky. I splattered white acrylic paint generously. Then, I die cut some hills out of white card stock and blended the edges with Frayed Burlap distress oxide ink using Studio Katia Ink Blender Brushes.

After adding the hills, I adhered my images onto the scene with a foam tape. I used the large Hello die from the Fancy Scallop Circle Dies. I die cut the word out of glitter card stock and adhered onto the background. To embellish the card I used Iridescent Stars and Rainbow Loops. And that completes today’s card!

I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration. Have a great day!

Hugs and Kisses! with Kelly | Welcome New DT Member!

January 20, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Valentines Day Cards

Hello Everyone! We have another exciting announcement today – very talented Kelly Martin has joined our fabulous Design Team! Help us celebrate the news and welcome Kelly to SK family in the comments below. It will also give you a chance to win a $15 Gift Certificate to Studio Katia Store.

———————————-

Welcome, friends!

I’m so happy to be here on the Studio Katia blog for my first post as part of the design team.

Today we’re going to be creating a clean card, using very minimal supplies!

Using the scallop hearts cover die, cut out two panels of the same color cardstock. Remove all the hearts in the middle of the die and set them aside to use on another project. Glue both of your panels together and then adhere them down to a cut and scored 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base.

Using the same background die, cut out a panel from a different color cardstock and then take out all the heart pieces. Set aside your panel to use on a different project later on.

Using a liquid adhesive. glue the heart pieces in to the center of each of the background heart openings on the card base. I recommend a liquid adhesive because you can have a second or two to move the heart around just a little bit in case you lay it down crooked!

To finish off the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Floral Wreath stamp set on to white cardtock. trimmed it down and then glued it on to a piece of gold glitter cardstock.

I glued that down to the top of the card at an angle and then to finish off the card, I die cut a bow from the Darling Ribbon and Frames in the same gold glitter cardstock and glued it on to the corner of my sentiment strip.

I love these background dies because you get so much value out of one die. With just one piece of cardstock and one pass through the die cut machine, the die cuts so many different pieces that you can use for multiple cards!

Thanks for joining me here today and I hope you’ll come back and see me next time!

Penguin Party with Tracey

January 17, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Other, Winter Holidays

Hi there it’s Tracey here with a fun little penguin party. Once the Christmas holidays are over I start to build up my winter birthday card stock supply. My Dad loves penguins so I am giving this one to him for his 92nd birthday.

I stamped the penguins and iceberg from the Kobi’s Ice Day stamp set and then die cut the images with the Kobi’s Ice Day co-ordinating dies. I coloured the images with Copic markers with some very simple two-shade colouring. The trees are from the Holiday Village Stamp set and they were cut with the Holiday Village co-ordinating dies, also coloured with Copic markers.

To create my icy water background I swept some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink on to my glass mat and spritzed it with some clean water. Then I swept a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock over the ink on one quick motion.

Once the inked background was dry I attached it to the card base using Studio Katia white foam adhesive. The iceberg, penguins and trees were attached with a combination of adhesive tape and white foam tape.

The sentiment in the bottom right corner is from the It’s Your Birthday stamp set and was white embossed on black cardstock. To finish the card off I glued some Iridescent Crystals to the card front and it is done.

Now is time to announce a winner from the Giveaway that we had on my previous post. And the winner of a $15 Gift Certificate to Studio Katia Online Store is…

No Line Coloring with Laura

January 16, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with a card I created with the no-line coloring technique and the Kind Bouquet stamp set. Don’t forget to check out the video at the end of this post, if you are interested in seeing the step by step tutorial.

I started my card by stamping the beautiful roses in the Kind Bouquet stamp set with no-line ink and I colored them with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. I then used the Kind Bouquet Dies to cut it out.

For the card background I die cut some Bristol Smooth cardstock with the Darling Ribbon& Dotted Frames dies and I blended Harmony Ink in the color Spa Blue over the entire background, using my Studio Katia Blending Brushes. Next I layed the Autumn Leaves stencil over my background. I blended Harmony Ink in the color Lagoon over the panel and then coated the area with a clear glitter gel.

I created a second panel out of some vanilla cardstock using the Dotted Patterns Set 3 dies. I used another die in the set to also cut out an oval opening in the center.
For my sentiment I used the hello die in the Fancy Scallop Circle set and I die cut some Neenah Solar White cardstock. I glued everything to a top-folding A2 card base and that finished off my card.

Don’t forget that there is a video tutorial for you, sharing how to make this floral card with the no-line coloring technique. And make sure to subscribe to the Studio Katia channel for more inspiration!

Plaid Background Valentine’s Day Card | Layering Die Technique with Ilda

January 15, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Valentines Day Cards

Hello crafty friends!

Today I have a super cute plaid card to share with you that I created by simply rotating and flippling one die. I love stretching my supplies to create something totally new!

To create the plaid. I used the HALF STRIPED COVER die to cut out 4 different shades of pink cardstock. I then layered each piece by either rotating or flipping the die-cut piece and glued them all together. To finish the background, I then glued the plaid layers onto a piece of red cardstock.

For the greeting, I used the stamps from KOBI’S HUGS and KISSES stamp set and to frame the sentiment I used the outer heart frames from the SHAKER HEART dies that I stacked and glued 3 times.

Here is a closer look at all the layers. To embellish the stamped hearts I added some liquid pixie dust for sparkle and then topped them off with glossy accents.

Super simple, and so pretty! The perfect card to give a friend or loved one for Valentine’s Day 💓 I hope you were inspired by this layering die technique.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Video: Multi technique card with Galina

January 13, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Today I want to show a card with a lot of cardmaking techniques. For this card I used cute little stamp set – POTTED PLANTS and FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES.

How I made this card you can watch in this video or HERE (Studio Katia Youtube channel)

For this card I decided to create my own pot for the stamped plants. I used smallest dies from the FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES to die cut a half of a circle and in the center of it cut out a holes with other die from this set. I cross stitched the die cut with a green thread and got this nice decorated pot. I colored plants with Copic markers and attached them abow the pot.

For the card background I used stencil technique. I applied Lucky clover and Pine Needled Distress inks throught the AUTUMN LEAVES STENCIL with INK BLENDER BRUSHES. This brushes helps to get nice crisp image through the stencil.

Behind the pot I placed a piece of the vellum. I attached it to the glitter frame using double sided adhesive. I stamped the sentiment directly on the vellum. For stamping on the vellum or acetate sheet it’s better to use an archival\permanent inks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!
