Rainbow stamping and stitching

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards

Hello everyone!

Galina is here. I want to show you how I made a fun stitched project and I used Polkadot cover plate die, you can use aregular dies for stitching like STITCH BORDERS die set, but for my stitching desig nI want to use cover die because I don’t want to leave empty holes on a paper.

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

I cut out two borders using a die from SIMPLE DOTTED BORDERS 1 and a thin die with holes fromSTITCH BORDERS die set. Also I cut out a small white panel using Polkadot cover die.

I stitched on the paper using multicolored cotton thread. You can create your own multicolored thread by coloring it with watercolor paints or distress inks or alcohol markers. In the video I showed the process and my results.

I stamped multicolored floral images using both stamps from Peony trimming stamp set and a few distress oxide inks. I embellished the card with IRIDESCENT BUBBLES large and tiny sizes.

It’s Galina with you today. I want to share with you how I made a pretty card background with small flowers. I was creating a birthday card with cute little bees from the HONEY BEES Stamp Set and I decided I needed to add fancy details.

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

Card Details

I stamped a lot of small flowers on a bright white paper. I colored them with Arteza watercolor markers. But I didn’t make any blending with water. I used this medium because of high pigment ink in markers and I want to have bright red flowers on my card.

I cut out a panel using a rectangle die from and covered all the flowers with Glossy accent medium. I stamped teo cute bees on a same paper and colored them with Arteza markers. I cut out those images with a round die from the Dotted Patterns 1 die set. I foam mount them, on a card and heat embossed the sentiment on a black paper.

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina! Today I want to share with you some no-line  coloring tips and a cute card for someone awesome 🙂 I played with a quite large stamp called Best Friends stamp Set and Scallop Oblong die set.

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

Card details

I stamped the image with puppies and cats on a watercolor paper with light yellow distress ink – antique linen, because I want to color animals with orange and brown colors. For coloring I used watercolor based markers – Distress Markers, you can also color with distress ink. I blended ink with water using a water brush.

I cut out a large scallop frame from a kraft cardstock using a Scallop Oblong Die set. To cut out the inner window I used an oval die from this set. I used an oval die again to cut out a thin oval frame from a gold glitter cardstock.

To embellish the card I cut out a blue stripe for a sentiment using a die from Darling Ribbon Die set and a  red heart using a small die from the Scallop oblong die set. To finish the card I attached a few Gold Foil Pearls on the left and right sides of the card.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!
