Quick and Easy Hello Friend Card by Ilda

January 16, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello Friends, Ilda here with you today on the Studio Katia Blog. Today I am sharing a super quick and easy card to make using the You’re So Ranunculus stamp set. A card like this would be a great card to mass produce for whatever occasion you needed.

I began by stamping out the image and heat setting it with a gold embossing powder onto watercolor paper. Using a large brush I then applied a generous amount of water to the paper. Next, I smooshed Squeezed Lemon and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink onto to a slick surface and added the color to the paper starting with the yellow on the top and pink on the bottom and then blended the two colors slightly in the middle. To some of the flower petals, I added a little more pigment before the water dried. Once the panel was completely dry, I die cut the added some splatters of ink using the same oxide colors.

I then ran the paper through the die cutting machine using the large frame from the Dotted Pattern Set 3 die set. I glued that piece onto a gold foil cardstock that I had trimmed to size and then glued them onto an A2 card base using foam tape.

I finished off the card front with gold foil die-cuts that came from the Spring Bouquet Coordinating die set and the You’re So Ranunculus Coordinating die set, and then added some gold crystals as finishing touches.

Hope this quick and easy yet beautiful Hello Friend card inspired you today.

Until next time, Ilda.

For You Shaker Card with Laura

January 14, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a Valentine’s day shaker card I created with the Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses stamp set.
I started off the card by creating my background. I used alcohol inks in Poppyfield and Flamingo and the Alcohol Ink Blending Solution to add color to a panel of Yupo Paper. When the inks were completely dry I stamped the florals from the Lovely Blooms Stamp set with Alcohol Lift Ink. This created a subtle pattern on the background.

I stamped Kobi and the flower bouquet on Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock with Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copics and Spectrum Noir Markers. I then die cut them with the coodinating dies and moved on to creating my shaker.

For the shaker front I die cut some white and gray cardstock with the Dotted Patterns Set 1 and the Dotted Patterns Set 3 dies. I also die cut the alcohol ink background with the Darling Ribbon & Frames dies. I backed the shaker front with clear acetate and added lots of sequins in colors matching the color scheme of the card.

I then used one of the dies in the Dotted Patterns Set 2 to cut a banner for my sentiment. I cut a white and a gray banner, and glued them to each other, offsetting them slighty in order to create a drop shadow effect. The sentiment for you is from the Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses stamp set, and was stamped with Memento Ink in Love Letters.

And that’s my card for today! I really hope you liked it, and I hope I inspired you to create with the adorable Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses stamp set! Thank you all so much for stopping by, and have a great day!

Watercolor Floral Card with Dana

January 11, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Happy Friday, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m back with another watercolor floral card today.

I started by stamping flowers from You’re So Sweet Stamp Set onto cold pressed watercolor paper. I watercolored them and cut out with Coordinating Die.

For background, I die cut watercolor paper using Halftone Dots Cover. I then watercolored background panel in light grey and then added ink splatters using metallic silver spray and black watercolor paint.

While it dried, I white heat embossed a sentiment from Birthday Greetings Stamp Set onto grey card stock. I trimmed it down and popped up using foam adhesive where I wanted it. Then, I foam mounted flowers as shown in the picture.

To finish, I embellished my card with September Crystals, July Crystals and Clear Drops Mix Two.

Thank you so much for joining me today!

Elegant floral card with Kaja

January 10, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and I made an elegant birthday card for today!

Take a look:

When making a floral card I like to start out by coloring the image. I stamped out the flower image from the You’re so sweet stamp set and I used ZIG watercolor markers to color it in. I love the watercolor effect on the flowers and besides that, it’s super easy to get nice contrast with very little effort.

Once the image was colored in, I used the coordinating die to die cut it. This gives it a beautiful white edge.

Next, I took the Brush stoke waves stencil and ink blended over it. I used two colors of Distress oxides for this – Shabby shutters and Peeled paint. I used the first one towards the middle of the card and the second one towards the edges. Using two colors gives a nice depth to the ink blending.

Of course the card needed the sentiment, so I used the ‘Have an awesome birthday’ saying from the Brithday greetings stamp set. I heat embossed it with white powder on the black card stock which I cut into a banner shape.

I popped everything up using foam tape and a normal double sided tape. The last thing I added was some Onyx crystals that I put around the flower.

Thank you so much for joining me and hope to see you again soon!

Sea you soon card by Galina

January 3, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Other

Hi everyone! It’s Galina and I’m ready to share with you my new card and wait when summer will start 🙂 I need more winter holidays or bring me summer sooner )))

For this card I used my favorite underwater stamp set, I colored images with copic markers and cut out them with coordinating dies. To create water background I applied few distress inks on a white card panel and after ink dried I applied white pigment ink through the wave stencil from Studio Katia. Also I add waves with white paint.

And I embellish main round die cut with big glitter. At first I cover all die cut with SK glue and then simply applied glitter. SK glue is very strong and it keeps all glitter very well and dries transparent.

Watercolor with Tonic Studios Shimmer Powders and Studio Katia Floral

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a quick and easy card featuring faux watercoloring with Tonic Studios Shimmer Powders and the gorgeous Studio Katia Blooming Bunch stamp set.

I started off my card by stamping the florals in the Blooming Bunch stamp set with Versafine Onyx Black ink on some Canson XL watercolor cardstock. I then heat embossed the image with clear embossing powder. This will add a nice shiny finish to the florals and will also create a barrier for the water and the pigment, which is quite useful for today’s technique.

The technique itself is very easy: all I did was to sprinkle some Shimmer Powders in the areas where I wanted to add color, and then I generously spritzed those areas with water, using a Distress Sprayer. This activates the powders and moves the pigments around.

For the flowers I used Blue Blitz and a bit of Atlantis Burst. For the leaves I used Green Parade and Lemon Yellow.
Once the panel was completely dry I used my Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers to add some shading and definition to the image. I then fussy cut it with my scissors.

I also prepared two background panels using the same techinque and Canson XL watercolor cardstock.
For the base one I used the Darling Ribbon and Frames Dies to obtain an A2 sized rectangle and added color with Violet Brocade and Stormy Cloud Shimmer Powders.
For the rounded rectangle I used the Dotted Patterns Set 3 Dies and Shimmer Powders in Pink Sherbet and Solar Flare.

For the sentiment I used the scripty love die in the coordinating dies to the Spring Bouquet stamp set by Studio Katia. I die cut some black cardstock and added some glossy accents for a dimensional detail.

And that’s my card for today! I really hope you like it, and I hope I inspired you to create with the gorgeous Blooming Bunch stamp set by Studio Katia and the Tonic Studios Shimmer Powders!

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

Video: Raggedy Teddy Card with Erum

January 1, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Other

Hi everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Erum here today with a clean and simple card featuring the Kobi Hugs and Kisses Stamp Set.

I will start by stamping the kobi bear with the lightest grey ink that I have since I am aiming for a no line colouring look. I will use alcohol markers to colour my image today. I will start by laying down the darkest colour first and then add light shades to smooth out the darker tones.

Once I have coloured the entire bear, I will start adding the raggedy look by adding fur. This I will do by adding brush strokes to the body and because this is a raggedy bear, I will show the hair going in different directions.

I will stamp the heart on a separate piece of cardstock, and fussy cut it after colouring. I will adhere this directly with glue so everything remains on the same level. I will also give the bear some ground to sit on. In the end, I will stamp the sentiment.

I hope you liked my card. You can watch the video below or on YouTube.

Thank you for stopping by.

Mermaid for Each Other Valentine Shaker Card by Ilda

December 31, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Happy New Years EVE Everyone, Ilda here with you today on the Studio Katia Blog to close out the year! I still can’t believe this year is over, it feels like I just blinked and the year was done. Can’t wait to see what 2019 will bring.

For my last card of the year, I have created this valentine shaker card featuring the cute Mermaid for Each Other stamps and Coordinating Dies. How cute are these little mermaid people 😍

To begin this card I stamped out the mermaids onto Bristol paper and colored them in using Zig markers and then used the Coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I die cut the top panel using first the Loops Creative Die and then the large frame die from the Darling Ribbons and Frames Die and then glued the acetate to the backside. I then played around to figure out where the little merpeople were going to peek through and glued them in place with foam to the acetate.

To create the underwater background I blended together a bunch of blue colored distress oxide inks from darkest to lightest leaving the top almost white. I then placed the Light Ray Stencil at the top of the ocean line and used a baby wipe to lift off some of the colors from the paper. To finish off the background I misted the paper with water and picked it up with a paper towel to create the look bubbles underwater.

The shaker mix consists of Silver Polka Fusion and Majestic Sequins plus some Just Chunky Confetti Glitter. Also for fun, I added Iridescent Bubbles onto the top of the card.

The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of paper that I had die cut using the small rectangle frame from the Dotted Patterns Set 2, and then die cut it again to create a smaller rectangle. The scripted Silver “love” comes from the Spring Bouquet Dies set and the heart was die cut from the Dotted Scalloped Oblong die set, to which I finished off by adding some glossy accents too.

Hope this Mermaid for Each Other Valentine Shaker Card inspired your Valentine creations. Thank you all for all the support and all the comments you have left for me here on my Blog and on my Social Media links! Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year and I will see you all in 2019👋

Hugs, Ilda.
