Pumpkin card with Galina

/ CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards, New Release

Hello everyone! It’s Galina here. What do you think about alternative ways of using die sets? Sometimes I have crazy ideas like this one. I used

SIMPLE ROUND TAG and HALLOWEEN TRIMMINGS DIES to create a pumpkin face on my card 🙂
At first I made a “body”, I cut a card panel from watercolor paper and apply orange watercolor paint all over it, I add a lot of water to get nice orange gradient. After background is dry I add dark orange and brown stripes with a dry brush. Next I cut out a “smile” using order sentiment die and adhere a black stripe on a cardstock on the back of my card panel.
To create eyes I used two smaller dies from tag die set. I simply cut them from a brown cardstock and add a bit of shading with brown distress inks and blending brush.
To finish my pumpkin face I decided to add few leaves and swirls from another die set – SHAKER PUMPKIN DIES.
At last I attached the card panel on the green card base and my card is done.
Hope you like this idea 🙂
Have a great day!

Happy Halloween with Isha Gupta

/ CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Halloween

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a cute Halloween card using the new release goodies. I love creating cute cards for spooky Halloween….lol. So this spooky image was perfect and adding the googly eyes made this card look cute 🙂 I started by stamping the image using onyx black versafine ink and then embossed it using WOW! Midnight Dream embossing powder. I then die-cut the Happy Halloween sentiment stripe. I embossed a scrap paper using Flame embossing powder to add texture and bright color behind this panel. So, I adhered this panel to the orange stripe using 3D foam. I then flicked little black ink to the card and let it dry. Color the candies and the pumpkin face using pencil colors. I then adhered the eyes to the focal pumpkin. Now, I embossed a stripe of paper using the same midnight dream embossing powder and cut into two stripes and adhered them to the top and bottom of a white cardbase. I then adhered the panel to the cardbase. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day! Isha Supplies Halloween Trimmings Dies Spooky Pumpkins Trimmings Triangle Tray Studio Katia Glue

Spooky spell card

/ CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Galina is here and here is my first spooky card with new pumpkin stamp set. For my card I used a part of large border image.

Now we have true autumn weather and it was little bit hard to capture beautiful green glow on the card.

I started with cutting a sentiment right on a card base and I colored letters with black pen. On the inner side of the card base I placed a piece of the orange cardstock.

Next I apply light and dark distress inks on the card base. I tried to make a spell swirl 🙂 You can draw a swirl with a pencil and then add inks.

I stamped few pumpkins, eyes and tiny candies, which IS colored with pencils. I fussy cut all images and adhere them on the card base. At last I add a lot of green Nuvo drops on the green swirl.

Hope you like this card! Have a great day!

Trick or Treat!

/ CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween

Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today sharing some inspiration using some of the latest release from Studio Katia! This release has lots of fun autumn-themed products, including some darling new dies. Today’s project focuses entirely on dies, so let’s get started with all of the details!

To start, I die cut some cute little pumpkins using the new Shaker Pumpkin dies. I die cut one from some orange polka-dot patterned paper, then two more using the interior of the die from some deep orange cardstock. I also die cut some gray stems and bright green leaves.

After I’d die cut my little cluster of pumpkins and foliage, I used the new Halloween Trimmings dies to die cut a cute “trick or treat” greeting. I’m not super wild about scary Halloween stuff, but I can totally get behind cute orange pumpkins and trick-or-treating!

I blended a bit of orange in the top corner and a bit of green in the bottom corner using some blender brushes, then backed the greeting with some black cardstock so that the negative spaces would have plenty of contrast with the words in the sentiment. I adhered the pumpkins and foliage using a combination of foam and liquid adhesive.

Well, that’s all for my project today! I hope you’ve taken a peek at the new release; so many super cute products! I can’t wait to play with them some more! Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a marvelous day.

Boo-tiful card

/ CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Galina. Let’s make more boo-tiful cards! The season is open 🙂

For this card I used new stencil and few old but cool pumkin dies.

I start with cutting a panel from orange color cardstock, next I applied black ink on edges and cover the panel with stencil and glitter texture paste from Nuvo.

On the orange cardstock I stamped few pumpkins using brown ink ant cut them out. On the green cardstock I heat emboss a sentiment with white powder and stamp from Monster Bash  set. To create a main focal point I cut an oval frame from black cardstock and adhere all elements in a center.

To finish my card I glued my panel on a black card base.

Thank you for stopping by, have a great day!

In the center of my black card base I applied green distress ink and adhered purple panel. At last I stamped a sentiment and added black dots with gel pen.

Studio Katia Spring Bouquet and Happy Stamp Set watercoloured by Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hi! Erum here today with a floral card. My card features the Spring Bouquet Stamp Set.

I stamped the image with Versafine in Onyx Black then I used clear embossing powder to heat emboss it. I used oranges and yellows to colour the flowers and bright green for the leaves.

After I was done colouring the images, I die cut them and set them aside.

Next, I worked on the card front. For this I used very diluted black watercolour as grey to add messy, vertical brushstrokes to the panel.

Once the panel was dry, I added black paint splatters and adhered my floral images with foam tape. I then cut off the excess off the edge. I didn’t throw away these pieces, instead I used them to continue with the floral border.

After I was done arranging, I added a few more black paint splatters. Then I stamped the sentiments from Happy Stamp Set. In the end, I popped up a few sequins from Radiant Pineapple Fusion.

Happy Fall with Kristina

/ CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards

Hello everyone! Kristina here and today I have an autumn card to share with you. I decided to stretch my Winter Kobi stamp set for this one by slightly changing the image.

First I stamped all the images with Memento ink, colored them with COPIC markers and die cut using coordinating dies. I added few simple lines to draw Kobi’s clothes and make him look like a mushroom picker.

I blended blue and orange distress inks on white paper and added some water splatter. Next, I cut out a small banner, blended some orange ink onto it and heat embossed a Happy Fall sentiment using white embossing powder. Once my background panel was dry I’ve mounted all the elements onto a foam tape and adhered the panel onto a white card base.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Interactive Autumn Card with Natalia

/ CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello, everyone. Natalia is here and today I would like to show Autumn interactive card with foxes and pumpkins.

First I coloured all the characters – foxes, pumpkins and fur trees – using Touch Twin and Copic markers, and memento inks. Next I’ve inked two panels with Distress inks using yellow and pink colors. I used a die from Dotted Patterns: Scallop Frame set to cut a window frame for the shaker card.

Now the fun part – making a scene with all the images. My goal was to arrange everything in a way that would make both outside and inside of my card look complete. I achieved it with the leaves images from Together we bloom, they wonderfully pulled everything together.

Now let me tell you about the WOW effect of my shaker card.

I’ve made a similar construction before, but now the difficulty was in a lack of place for a shaker. First I thought it would be great to add leaves and they would fall after the plug was removed, but then I was worried that they could get stuck. So I hung leafs on golden strings instead and filled the shaker with seed beads and sequins.

On the photo above and short video below you can see how this whole construction works.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Watercolor Thank You Card with Kristina

/ CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Thank You Cards

Hi everyone! Kristina is here and for today I’ve created a fall theme card. I used cute pumpkins from the Meowy Halloween stamp set. To start, I’ve stamped a few pumpkins with brown ink on watercolor paper.
It is best to use waterproof ink with watercoloring, but all I had was regular ink and so I had to be very careful coloring my image for the ink not to bleed, which gave me an effect very close to no line coloring technique.


Using masking technique I’ve stamped more pumpkin images. Next I drew light pencil lines for bushes and colored everything with Gansai Tambi watercolors.

Using Dotted Patterns: Nested Square die I cut out a square panel our of my image and adhered it to the square card base using foam tape. To finish off my card, I heat embossed Thank You sentiment with white embossing powder on ivory cardstock.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
