Turning tag into a pattern for a Christmas Card

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone!

Galina with you, and today we are going to turn the regular tag die cut into a metal lantern! How fun is that? For my card I used a POINSETTIA BORDER stamp set and Dotted Shaker Tag 2.

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

 

I cut out a tag from a gold matt cardstock using both dies from the Dotted Shaker Tag 2. I colored the tag with alcohol markers and distress inks to create a rust effect on it. Also I added a moss on it using a small amount of Flower Soft (kind of tiny plastic leaves) . On a piece of vellum I applied distress ink to create a glowing and I attached this piece behind the shaker die cut.

I stamped poinsettias using Poinsettia Border stamp and colored the images with an alcohol based markers. I cut out the poinsettias with a coordinating die.

I embelished the card with a few GOLD SPARKLE CRYSTALS.

Hello everyone!

Galina with you today and let’s create pretty frames using stamps. I used the Snowflakes Stamp set to create frames for my two winter themed cards.

How to make those cards you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel.

I stamped the snowflakes on a white paper using different dye inks, how to use Distress Oxide for multicoloring stamping you can find HERE.

I cut out stamped images with the coordinating dies. Also, I cut out a round piece using a die fromSIMPLE ROUND TAG. I used this round die cut as a guid to create a “wreath” around it.

I used the same die from SIMPLE ROUND TAG to cut out a round opening in the stamped snowflakes to create a nice frame. I stamped a small sentiment inside using a stamp from Snowflakes stamp set and Versafine Black ink.

To create a card background for both of my cards I applied grey and light brown distress inks through the large Snowflake Stencil on a white card base.

I embellished the card with a few IRIDESCENT CRYSTALS.

Card Details

To create a card background I cut out a panel using a large die from DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3 STUDIO KATIA . I Applied Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide in the ink and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink on the edges.

I cut out a scallop border from a white glitter cardstock using a die from SCALLOP HEARTS COVER – Studio Katia. To create a red border on the bottom I used two border dies one with a straight cut line and pierced dots from SIMPLE DOTTED BORDERS 1 and second one with larger dots from STITCH BORDERS Die set.

I stamped and copic colored the big image from the HAPPY PAWLIDAYS Stamp set. I cut it out using a coordinating die set. In this die set you can find few script sentiments. I used one of them to create a sentiment for my card. I cut out Falala sentiment a couple of times from glitter, white and black cardstock pieces and stuck them together with liquid glue.

I finished the card by adding white matt crystals – Snow Crystals Mix and white spots using a gel pen. Also, I stamped few sentiments inside of the card.

Video. Two colored heat embossing Christmas cards

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone!

Galina with you today. I have two Christmas cards to share with you. For both of them I used the same materials and made them at once – Snowflakes Stamp set and Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames – Creative Dies.

How to make those cards you can watch here or on Studio KAtia Youtube channel

I used two colors of the cardstock to cut out panels and frames using Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames – Creative Dies. I mixed those die cuts to create two colored backgrounds.

I stamped snowflakes with clear versamark ink on both of the die cuts. I separated die cuts and on the pink one I added gold embossing powder and on the grey – white embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment with black ink in the center and embellished the card with pink and clear crystals.

For my second card I used only white embossing powder and I stamped snowflakes on the top of the die cuts.

I created a little shake using a Shaker envelope die with seed beads and star sequins. I embellished the card with matt white crystals.

2 ways of using DOTTED SQUARE FRAME DIE

/ CATEGORIES - Other

Hello everyone!

Galina with you today 🙂 I used the same die for both of my cards. It is called DOTTED SQUARE FRAME DIE and it’s A2 cover plate die. To add more interest to the pattern I used SQUARE BRICK STENCIL with the DOTTED SQUARE FRAME die cut.

How to make these cards you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel.

The first card, on a craft card base is a one layer card. First I applied inks through the DOTTED SQUARE FRAME die cut and second layer of ink I applied through the SQUARE BRICK STENCIL. I stamped the sentiment using IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY Stamp set and Versafine Black ink.

I decided to make a second card with a dimensional frame, so I foam mount the DOTTED SQUARE FRAME die cut on my ink blended card panel. Also I added two little butterflies from the BUTTERFLIES Stamp set, I colored them with alcohol markers. I cut out asentiment using black cardstock and a coordinating die set called A CUP OF THANKS DIES.

To embelish the cards I picked light blue, green and yellow pearls for the first card and jewel crystals for the second card.

Thanks so mush for stopping by!

Card backgrouds using clay e,bellishments. Video

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone!

Galina is here and I want to show you how I made the card backgrounds using clay envelopes  and Large polka doe Stencil 🙂

How to quickly and easily embellish the card with small clay embellishments you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel.

For my first bee-mail card I add envelopes randomly on the ink blended card panel. I cut out the panel using the biggest die from Dotted Patterns set 1. Also I cut out the envelope from whiteand silver cardstock using Envelope Shaker die.

I stamped two bees from the Honey Bees Stamp set and colored them with alcohol based Copic markers. I stamped a sentiment from the same stam set with dark blue ink.

For easier clay envelope positioning use a Stencil with repeatable pattern like – Large Polka Dot Stencil.

You can embellish the card with clay envelopes in different shapes and directions. I made a rectangle frame with envelopes using a Large Polka Dot Stencil as a guid.

 

And for sure you can create a full pattern of envelopes on a card background.

Rainbow Butterflies Slimline Card

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards, New Release, Other

 
 

Hello sweet friends, it has been a while. Ilda here!

 

Today I have a rainbow-inspired slimline Butterfly card to share with you. If you didn’t know by now, my favorite color is rainbow because I love all of them, lol! So if you can’t decide like me, always chose rainbow… they just make for the happiest of cards. 🌈😊

 

My cards today feature the new Butterflies set from Studio Katia.

 

For the background, I used three colors of ink to blend out the rainbow (see inks below). I then trimmed the panel and popped it behind the new DOTTED SLIMLINE SET 3 die.

 
 
 

For the butterflies, I stamped them out using Blackout Ink on both white cardstock and vellum. I then used 3 colors of Copic markers (pink, yellow, and blue) to blend out the rainbow colors over the entire butterfly image. As you can see I was not careful to stay in the lines. It really was about adding a quick color. For each butterfly, I just moved the markers in different directions overlapping the colors in between to give create the rainbow blend. I repeated the same thing to the vellum butterflies only this time I colored the underside of the vellum making sure I colored them in the same pattern as the coordinating paper layer.

 

 

Once the butterflies were colored I then added a thin layer of glue using a glue pen (sorry forgot to link below) to the top of the vellum wings. Once they were dry I then bent and curled the wings and glued the bodies together and added them to the card front.

 

The sentiment was stamped and heat-embossed onto a banner from the PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES.

 

Here is a closer look at the gorgeous sparkle on the wings. I am a bit obsessed with SPARKLE GLITTER!

 

I then just finished this Rainbow Butterflies Slimline card by dropping some coordinating pearls into the die-cut holes of the card panel.

 
I hope this rainbow creation inspired you. Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!
 

Ilda 🌈💗

Pumkin shaker card with multicolored background. Video

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Other, Shaker Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello evereyone!

Galina is here and for today I want to share with you a fun technique for making multilayered backgrounds. I created a spicy orange background for my pumkin shaker.

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

I was playing with different distress inks. I applied them on the watercolor paper directly with the ink pad and sprayed with water. I dried the paper and repeated the ink smooshing a few more times.

I cut out a shaker window using a medium die from the Shaker Pumpkin Die set. I attached the clear acetate sheet behind the card panel and foam mounted it on the green card base. For The shaker elements I used green and orange sequins as well as Orange color Pearls.

I embellish the pumpkin with leaves and plastic flowers from LILAC BUSH FUSION sequin mix. On the card panel I added more gold and green pearls. I attached them with liquid glue from Studio Katia.
