Back stamping birthday card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have prepared a simple card for 30th birhtday that features back stamping technique.

Take a look:

I started creating this card by stamping the images of a starfish and a crab from Under the sea stamp set. I positioned them on the top and at the bottom of a piece of white cardstock in the following order: starfish – crab – starfish. At first I wanted to just color them with markers, but in the end I decided to go another way and ‘color’ them in using the back of the stamped images in so called back stamping technique. I used gray ink for the crabs and light blue for the starfish. I felt like I needed some more dimention, so I added some shadows using gray alcohol markers.

I knew I wanted to create a card with the numbers on it, so I die cut ‘3’ and ‘0’ from the Chunky numbers die set along with ‘T’ and ‘H’ from Chunky alphabet die set. I used blue cardstock that matches the ink for the numbers and gray for the letters.

Next, I stamped ‘Happy’ in the top left corner and ‘birthday’ in the bottom right corner of my white space in between the stamped images. Both words can be found in the brand new Happy celebrations stamp set. I used black ink that creates nice contrast among the images and the sentiment. I then added some water bubbles around the stamped images, just to get some more detail around them. These stamps can also be found in Under the sea stamp set.

I felt like I needed some more blue in the background, so I die cut the white panel out using the scalloped rectangle die from Scallop hearts cover and put some blue paper in the background.

In the end, I glued everything together using double sided foam tape and liquid glue.

That’s all for today, thank you so much for joining me!

Celebrate Card with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards

Hello crafters! Olga Moss is here. For today I made a Birthday card. I played with two stamp sets here – LOTS OF GIFTS TRIMMINGS and PAWS FOR KINDNESS BUNDLE. My idea was to create an atmosphere of a family room filled with gifts family photos on the walls.

 

First, I made the background. I stamped one of the borders with gifts images from the LOTS OF GIFTS TRIMMINGS stamp set from Studio Katia Trimmings line. I also stamped the border image on a masking paper, so I could cut it out and protect my stamped border. Next, I ink blended the background panel with Fossilized Amber, Frayed Burlap, Wilted Violet and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks. I also drew a picture frame with a pencil, and inside it I stamped images of a girl and a boy from PAWS FOR KINDNESS BUNDLE and covered the picture frame and images inside with masking paper. To add texture to the background I splattered the background with watercolor paint.

 

Next, I removed the masking paper from the images and colored them. I white heat embossed sentiment Celebrate.

To embellish the card I put some glue on the edges of the card and sprinkled it with FROST GLITTER. It added a fun finishing touch to the card.

That is it for today. Hope you loved my idea and will give it a try. Thank you so much for joining me today!

Under The Sea with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hello, crafters! It’s Olga Moss here with a fun sea card.

For my card I played with Under the Sea Stamp Set. I wanted to make a fun underwater scene, where children look out the window of the ship and watch the sea world. Doesn’t it look super fun? I decided to combine images from Under the Sea stamp set and children from the Paws For Kindness Bundle.

I started by preparing all details for the card. I stamped and colored stamps and die cut them out with Coordinating Dies.

The next step was to make the background. I ink blended it with Fossilized Amber, Frayed Burlap, Wilted Violet and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks, sprinkled it with some water and watercolor paint. I die cut out a circle, inside which I stamped the boy and girl, placing them so that it looked as if they were looking out the window.

Next, I adhered all the details onto my card and heat embossed the sentiment in white embossing powder.

Thank you for stopping by, have a great day!

Underwater birthday card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hi all,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I prepared a cute underwater card for you.

Take a look:

When I was looking through my stash of Studio Katia stamps I saw the Autumn borders set and decided to create an ocean ground inspired by the layout in the set. I used a bunch of images from Under the sea and Mermaid for each other stamps sets to create an half-circlular layout. I first stamped the images that are in the front of the scene and then mask it off to be able to stamp other things in the background. Once the scene was stamped out, I colored it in using alcohol markers.

Next, I stamped the stingray image from Under the sea stamp set along with the speach bubble with a heart that can be found in Jawsome stamp set. I colored these two images with alcohol markers as well.

Then, I used Studio Katia brushes and distress oxides to create a underwater background. I started with the lightest color towards the bottom and then gradually added darker colors. Once I was happy with the background, I splashed some clear water on top to get the splattered effect. I added some stitched detail with white gel pen towards the edges, to get the background to connect to the rest of the card more.

The last thing I added was the sentiment from Birthday greetings stamp set, that I stamped towards the bottom of the card.

I glued everything together using Studio Katia glue and double sided tape.

That’s all I have for today, thank you so much for joining me!

Alcohol Ink and Foiling Technique by Isha Gupta

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS

Hello everyone! Isha here with you today with a summer theme card. I have created an alcohol pearl ink background and then added some foiling accent using one of the stencils. I am waiting for summer to come hence I used the sweet images from “Under the Sea” stamp set, which I colored in using the no-line copic coloring technique.

I started by creating my technique layer, for which I added alcohol pearl inks to yupo paper. I actually swiped the colors across the paper and let it dry. The colors I used are (Villainous, Deception, Sublime, Enchanted, Splendor, Sail Boat Blue). Now, I added some of the Deco transfer gel through the Mini Arcs stencil and let it dry for a few hours or until the gel turns transparent and tacky. I then used Snowy White Fab foil by WOW! Embossing Powder, put on top of the stenciled area (mat side down) and ran it through my laminator. Remove the foil and we get this beautiful 3dimensional texture with the subtle pearl effect from the alcohol pearl layer.

Stamp the images using a very light grey ink onto a copic friendly paper. Draw the eyes using copic multi-liner pen. Color in the images and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. Adhere to the layer using 3D foam tape and apply clear shimmer pen from Nuvo.

Stamp and emboss the sentiment. Adhere the panel to a white cardbase. Adhere the sentiment stripe. To finish, add some Icy Sparkle Crystals (one of my favourites). Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day!

Birthday shaker with Tracey

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards

Hi there it’s Tracey back here today with a shaker card featuring the Bearing Gifts stamp set.

I started off by stenciling the Studio Katia Bubbles stencil on to the front of my card base using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink using the Studio Katia Blending Brushes. I blended the colour over the stencil the darkest in the centre getting lighter out near the edges.

I used the Dotted Patterns Set 4 die for my shaker on this card. Do you ever difficulty getting your shaker panel perfectly lined up on your card front? I tried a different method when building the shaker component on my card today. I die cut two of the Dotted Patterns Set 4 die and used Studio Katia glue to stick one down to my card exactly where I wanted my shaker to be. Then using it as a guide I built my shaker walls up using two layers of Studio Katia Foam Tape. I used my embossing buddy were within the walls of my shaker. I always seem to have static problems. I filled my shaker with Summer Fusion sequins, Crystal Stars and Iridescent Crystals.

The Studio Katia Acetate sheets are 6″ x 6″, perfect weight and crystal clear. I cut a piece to fit behind the shaker opening then I removed the baker on the foam tape and adhered the acetate on the top onto the shaker. Then I added my white top shaker piece over the acetate and it lined up perfectly because I could see where I was putting it.

I stamped Kobi bear and three balloons from the Bearing Gifts stamp set with Copic friendly ink. I cut the images out with the co-ordinating Bearing Gifts die set after I did some pretty simple one shade colouring with Copic makers. The balloons were adhered directly to the shaker and then Kobi bear and all the parcels on top with foam with foam tape.

I absolutely love my Studio Katia Halftone Lines cover die it is so clever. It cuts 13 strips of cardstock at one time in different widths but all are 5 1/2″ tall. Perfect to use for sentiment strips or they can be used to create a fun background. I stamped and white embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Bearing Gifts stamp set onto a black strip created with the Halftone Lines cover die. I trimmed it down and added it to the card with one layer of foam tap.

TIME SAVING TIP: I used the Halftone Lines cover die to cut one panel of white and one of black giving me 13 sentiment strips in each colour. I just popped them in the package with the die so I have some all ready to go when I am creating cards.

Thank you so much for stopping in today to create with me. Hope you are staying well and have a great week ahead.

Let’s Shell-Ebrate with Dana

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m sharing a birthday shaker card with you today.

To start, I die cut square panel from bristol paper using Nested Squares. Then, I ink blended it slightly with Distress Oxide Inks using Ink Blender Brushes. Detailed colors are Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feathers. I then stenciled square panel again with same Distress Oxide Inks using Brush Stroke Waves Stencil.

Next, I created a seashell shaker window by die cutting with Seashell Shaker. I die cut seashell one more time from gold card stock as well. I mounted outline pieces of seashell, after I adhered Acetate Sheet.

I then mixed embellishments for shaker. I used Rainbow Loops, Rainbow Hearts, Speckled Sprinkles, Silver Fever Confetti. With these lovelies, I finished off my shaker using foam tape.

For sentiment, I silver heat embossed Shell-Ebration and die cut it using Best Ever Dies. As a final touch, I adhered crystals here and there as shown in the picture.

Hope you enjoyed this card. Thank you so much for stopping by!

Simple Happy BEE-Day Shaker Card

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Shaker Cards

Hello, my Friends and Happy Monday!

Today I am sharing a super simple shaker card that could be used for any occasion depending on the sentiment you chose, this one will be for someone’s BEE-day!

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I stamped out the cute little bee from the HONEY BEES stamp set, colored it using Copic Markers, and then die cut it using the HONEY BEES coordinating dies.

Next, I stamped out the yellow pattern on the background using yellow ink and the ZIG ZAG STRIPES background stamp. I then die cut the panel using the outer frame from the SCALLOP HONEYCOMB COVER and I also die cut the window for the shaker area using the HONEYCOMB SHAKER. To the back of the panel, I glued a piece of ACETATE. 

I then ran a piece of black cardstock through the die cut machine using the HONEYCOMB SHAKER and used the honeycomb shape to glue on the top of the acetate window.

With the background panel flipped onto its front, I added FOAM TAPE around the perimeter of the shaker window and then sprinkled my shaker bits which included GOLD FEVER  CONFETTI and SPARKLING HEARTS CONF. GLITTER inside the well. To close in the shaker area I used a piece of yellow cardstock and then attached the finished panel to an A2 top fold card front.

To finish the card off, I added a sentiment strip from the PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES that I stamped with a sentiment from the HONEY BEE stamp set and then popped up the cute be in the corner. 

Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Happy Birthday Shaker Card

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello, crafty friends!

Today I’m on the blog with a birthday shaker card that is so festive!

To be honset, shaker cards kind of freak me out sometimes. But the method I did on today’s card is very easy to do, so let’s dive in!

I began by die cutting several (probably 6 or 7) card panels, using the Half Striped Cover Die and then I glued them all together, using liquid adhesive.

After the striped panels were assembled, I glued them down to a cut and scored 4.25 x 5.5 inch card panel, using liquid adhesive again.

So, now you can probably see where this is going, right?!

Because we cut so many panels, we’ve basically built up the “walls” of our shaker, making it possible for our shaker bits and pieces to fill in the areas nicely and without problem.

Choosing which shaker pieces to use was pretty easy, because I knew this was going to be a birthday card! And nothing says birthday more than SPRINKLES! So I used the Chunky Sprinkles, and filled the open areas of the bottom right side of my card.

I cut down an acetate sheet to 4.25 x 5.5 inches, and then glued that down on top of the shaker-filled card, and then I cut one more striped panel using that Striped Cover Die before gluing that down on top of the acetate.

To finish off the card, I used the hexagonal die from the same set and cut a piece of light pink cardstock. I embossed a sentiment from the Floral Wreath stamp set and then glued that finished sentiment piece down to my card.

Thanks so much for stopping by the blog today, and have a great day!

Easy watercolor birthday card

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards

Hello everyone it’s Galina! Today I want to show a super quick and fun way how to color this beautiful big flower bouquet from LOVELY BLOOMS Stamp set. Also I made a bright card background and I used my favorite frame die – DOTTED PATTERNS SET 2.

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

I love huge stamps but sometime I just want to make a super simple or fast coloring. I placed this floral stamp in the stamping tool (you can use a big acrylic block) and I covered the stamps with different colors of distress inks. I overlapped some colors to blend them directly on the stamp. NExt I stamped the image on a watercolor paper.

Using a water brush I blend all the lines and colored the flower. I add just a little amount of additional ink on the flower. Next I trace some lines with watercolor markers and distress inks.

I cut out a rectangle window in the centre of the card panel and I foam mount it on the card base. I placed the flowers on the left top corner. And on the left corner I stamped a sentiment with a red pigment ink.

And here is one more card. I decided I want to create card with my left over yellow card panel. For this cardI used another floral stamp set – Floral Garden. And I colored the stamped image with a watercolor markers. To stamp the image I used a light color distress ink – antique linen.

Using a same stamp set with greeting I stamped a sentiment with a blue pigment ink. And I embellished the yellow card with a same crystals.

Hope you will these cards!
