And now it’s time for the introduction of our new designers.

You have already seen wonderful projects from them last week, and we are sure you will enjoy seeing even more inspiration from them in the future!

Ilda

Hello I’m Ilda, the person behind (I) (L)ove (D)oing (A)ll things crafty, which incorporates the letters of my name. All my life I have loved to craft. A few years ago I was introduced to stamping and have been hooked ever since. I love CAS cards, but somehow mine usually end up complicated as I gravitate to interactive cards. I love anything paper related. Prior to cardmaking, my papercrafting was creating mostly 3D paper pieces. Beside papercrafting, my interests include photography, cake decorating, DIY crafts, and well anything crafty really. I also am an Oncology Nurse and mother of two. Hopefully my work inspires you as many of YOU inspire me 🙂

Rubeena

Hi, I’m Rubeena from A Rare Ruby. I live in NJ with my husband Steve, our newborn daughter and two clingy kittens, Jack and Smudge. I have been papercrafting on and off since 2014, and I love being able to express myself through what I create. My style continues to develop as I learn new things and am inspired by other artists and creative people. I love to play with cute critter stamps, florals, and all kinds of sentiments that uplift! I have an obsession with watercoloring, paint splatters, word die-cuts, heat-embossing sentiments on black cardstock, and dimensional cards. When I’m not making cards, I like to explore coloring mediums, acrylic painting, alcohol ink art, making bead bracelets and other jewelry, DIY home decor projects, and, of course, spending time with family and my cats. Professionally, I am a licensed social worker who likes to help other people learn and grow as well. I feel incredibly blessed, and I love to share with others.

Dana

Hi, I am Dana Gong a.k.a Dana G.Crafts and I live in South Korea. I’ve always been a paper crafter since I can remember and I started especially cardmaking in mid-2015. I love to try a variety of styles in my cards based on creative ideas. Generally, I choose a style which can show my creativity well in each cards. I’m so happy to join Studio Katia Design Team. Hope you enjoy my creations that I’ll share with you here.

 

 

Everyone knows the rest of our Wonderful Team very well now.

It is so exciting every time to see where their talent and creativity leads them, all the ideas they share using Studio Katia products. We can’t thank you, Ladies, enough for all your time, your creativity, your heart and soul you put into being Studio Katia Team Members!

Tracy

aka inkyfingers and ribbon and I live with my very understanding husband who fully supports (and a lot of the time enables) this craft addiction I have. I have been crafting on and off for over 16 years. I love all things inky and I’m in my element colouring or playing with stamps and ink pads. My style is CAS with lots of sequins! When I’m not crafting I am a huge film and book nerd. I have been a fan of Studio Katia for a while and it’s such a blast to be part of the design team and work with these amazing products.

 

Kristina

 

I’m a passionate card maker since 2015. I live in Saint Petersburg where I was born. I love animals, especially dogs. I have two Yorkshire terriers. I love CAS style, soft pastel colours and floral cards.

 

 

Svetlana

I’m a mom to wonderful boy and girl. In my spare time I bury myself with creation. I love creating cards not only in the CAS style but also scenery and interactive. I can’t pass by any stamp or a craft die.

 

 

Erum

I am from Karachi, Pakistan. I have been into arts & crafts since I can remember. I started blogging in 2008 and discovered a whole new world and made many friends. The name of my blog is VIBGYOR Krafts because who doesn’t like rainbows?! I love to colour, pencils being my favourite medium. In 2010 I started my own small business by the name of Glitter & Swirls where I sell my projects and take on commission work. I can tackle both CAS and mixed media projects quite well. 

 

Galina

In the past I was a mixed-media artist, but now I adore cardmaking and clean&simple style. My favorite mediums are Copic and Distress Markers. I love travelling, read fantasy books and collect stationery 🙂 I have a beautiful scottish fold cat – Sir Oliver, who makes my crafting life more fun especially when he’s posing while I take pictures of my cards 🙂

 

 

Kaja

I’m from small european country called Slovenia. I go by name ‘Kajcyika crafts’ in the crafty world. I have been into crafting since I was little, but never had the time to do what I love until about three years ago when I started my university studies. Since then I’ve been making cards for my family and friends and am loving every second of it. I would define my style as clean and simple or clean and graphic. Oh, and I love coloring! I can spend hours coloring images in my craft room. 

 

Laura

I come from Italy and am a very passionate card maker. I currently live in Germany with my husband, who always supports and encourages me and is the reason I started exploring my crafty side in the first place. I love crafts in general, but paper crafts really stole my heart! I like bright and cheerful cards, and I am always trying to experiment with new media and techniques. My favorites are Distress Inks and alcohol markers.

 

Natalia

a.k.a. Znatka2007. I am married and have a little son. I am passionate cardmaker since March, 2016. I like interactive cards and shakers most of all (my interactive cards are just crazy sometimes). Also, I like to make cards in CAS style. And, of course, I am addicted to photography and colouring.

 

 

Rowena

I’ve been a card maker for about 3 years now. I love all sorts of different styles, when it comes to card making. I let the stamps and dies inspire me when creating a card or a project. My go to coloring mediums are copic markers and watercolors. I also enjoy creating blended backgrounds for my cards. Besides crafting, I enjoy travelling with my husband and son. As well as taking my dog for a walk.

 

 

Liliya – Studio Katia DT Coordinator

I live in Canada, but am originally from Ukraine. I have been a card maker since 2010, although I did a lot of cross stitching before I got into paper crafts. My favorite craft tools are stamps and dies, my favorite medium – watercolours and pencils, my favorite style – CAS. I am also a homeschooling mom (and have four wonderful kids) and even though it takes a lot of my time, I cannot imagine my life without crafts. I love working with Katia and fabulous Studio Katia Team!
