Birthday Card With Isha Gupta

September 23, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS

Hello everyone! Isha here with you today with a CAS card using stencil.

I started by creating the background. I sponged some spun sugar, worn lipstick, picked raspberry and wilted violet distress oxide inks to the white cardstock using the blender brushes. I then took the Autumn Leaves stencil and put it on the inked piece. I then applied versamark ink through the stencil. Remove the stencil and dab some perfect pearls to the piece. Die-cut the heart, adhere the positive to the white cardbase, adhere vellum on top. Now adhere the negative part of the layer to the cardbase. Stamp sentiment from the It’s your Birthday stamp set onto vellum using StazOn black ink. Die-cut the word YOU from the Chunky Alphabet die four times from white cardstock. Stack them, apply some clear sparkle on it and add glossy accent. Let dry.

Adhere the word to the heart center. To finish, add some Icy Sparkle Crystals. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice day and stay safe!

Quick and Easy Cards Mini Series Pt 2

September 17, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you for part 2 of my quick and easy mini series. You can find part 1 here.

For todays card we are making a shaker card ! Now anyone that knows me knows I avoided shaker cards because i was awful at them. But this is what I have learnt.

Keep them simple until you are comfortable
Use GOOD foam tape
Don’t overthink them and compare yours to others.

I would always look at others shaker cards and try and go for something fancy and would fail….the good thing with shaker cards is you do not need to go fancy as the card below shows.

I used the Shaker Balloon Die set which makes it so much easier, I started off die cutting a piece of the new Rainbow paper pad using the Dotted Patterns set 1 along with the shaker balloon die. I used the same die and cut out some black card.

I laid the main piece over some black card and used it as a guide to adhere the balloon and black outline.

To create the shaker I adhered some strong acetate to the back of the main piece and I adhered foam tape to the BASE, this is something I found allows lining everything up so much easier. I then added some Silver Fever Sequins and carefully lined the main piece up and adhered it. I then heat embossed a sentiment from the Birthday Greetings stamp set. To finish off I added the diecut bow along with some silver sparkle over the top.

If you are going for a more simple shaker like this my advice is too use a nice patterned paper and also some nice coloured sequins as they add that little bit extra something.

Doing this kind of shaker card really helped get my confidence back with shaker cards plus they are super quick.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you like the tips I shared.

Have an amazing day and happy crafting

Sporty Birthday by Tracey

September 16, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hi there, it’s Tracey back again today with a sporty themed slimline birthday card using the new Sports-Balls Trimmings stamp set.

Like the other stamps in the Trimmings series, there is two almost identical stamps in the set. One that the orientation would typically work best with the stamp on the bottom of your scene and the other at the top. Design team member Emily Leiphart made a card a couple weeks ago using the stamp best suited for the bottom. Today I chose to use the stamp best for the top. There are some different sports equipment in both stamps.

I stamped the image using Copic friendly ink and coloured the image with Copic Markers. I’ll admit it took some time sorting out the colours for each of the images but it was a great way to spend a rainy afternoon.

Once the colouring was done I used the coordinating Sports-Balls Trammings dies to cut the image out. The die only cuts 3 sides of the image and leaves the bottom attached. On my card today I placed the die cut in the centre of the card so I did a bit a fussy cutting to free the die cut from the paper.

The card base for my slimline card was cut from navy cardstock to 7″ x 8 1/2″ and scored in the centre of the length at 3 1/2″ to create a 3 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ card base. The Happy Birthday sentiment is from the Happy Celebrations stamp set and it was white embossed on to the front of the card.

I used the shaped rectangle from the Dotted Slimline Set 2 dies to create a focal panel for the coloured image. I love using my stencil with the Studio Katia Blending Brushes. I stenciled Twisted Citron Distress Oxide ink using the Studio Katia Grid Stencil to add a bit of detail. I attached the panel direct to the card base just above Happy Birthday.

Next I attached the coloured Sports-Balls image with Studio Katia foam tape. The grid stenciling underneath pops more with the added dimension. I finished the card off with Studio Katia Sparkling Sea Confetti. A great design for a sports buff, child or teenager. You can choose the top or bottom stamp depending which sports equipment you would like on your card.

Thanks so much for stopping in today!

Sport-Balls Trimmings Birthday Card with Emily

September 2, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Can you believe it’s September? I have a lot of birthdays to celebrate this month so I need to get started. I made this card for my youngest nephew who’s turning 8 mid-month. He’s the youngest of three kids but also the most athletic. He’s good at every sport he tries so Sport-Balls Trimmings was the obvious choice for his card.

I heat embossed the image and watercoloured it with distress inks. After the panel dried, I die cut it with the coordinating Sport-Balls Trimmings Dies and set it aside. I created a slimline card base and die cut the front panel with Dotted Slimline Set 1.

I masked off the edges of the card base and used the Light Ray Stencil directly on the card base. I also created a mask for the image and continued the rays below the images. Then I curved the sentiment from Birthday Greetings against the oval die and heat embossed it on to the card base. To finish, I adhered the frame and image to the card with fun foam and added some Iridescent Stars.

Craftastic Birthday Shaker by Tracey

September 1, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards

Hi there, it’s Tracey here today with a shaker birthday card using the Craftastic Stamp set and matching Craftastic dies.

The first step was to create a background using the Ink Splash stencil and some Distress Oxide inks. I masked and blended Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmelade and Wilted Violet Distess Inks using the Studio Katia Blending Brushes. One done the panel was trimmed down to 5 1/4″ x 4″.

The Craftastic mug image was stamped twice. Once on white cardstock and then a second time in black and clear embossed on to watercolour cardstock. The mug and the crafty goodies inside were coloured with watercolours. I added a fitted piece of Studio Katia Acetate to the back of the watercoloured piece.

To assemble the shaker the inside shaker element was cut from the mug and the shaker was built on the ink blended panel from the bottom up. The cup image was cut from a sheet of double sided foam adhesive and placed over top of the regular die cut. The centre of the mug was inlaid into the foam die cut and some Iridescent Crystals were put into the well using he Studio Katia Embellishment Wand. The watercoloured piece was added over the top.

The sentiment is from the Birthday Greetings stamp set and was stamped in black ink directly on to the ink blended background. The panel was added to the white card base with Studio Katia White Foam Tape. This adds dimension especially when you are adding a primarily white panel on to a white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping in today.

Joy and Friendship by Tracey

August 19, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hi there it’s Tracey back again. Today’s botany lesson includes the sweet Potted Plants Stamps, Potted Plants Dies, Cactus Hugs Stamps and Cactus Hugs Dies.

The Scallop Honeycomb Die was cut from Bristol Smooth cardstock. Then I selectively blended the Grid Stencil on to the scallop using Tim Holtz Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink with the Studio Katia Ink Blender Brushes.

Images from both the Potted Plants stamp set and the Cactus Hugs stamp set were stamped and coloured with the following Copic markers:

E33, E34, YG03, YG17, BG000, BG11, BG63

The sentiment is from the Birthday Greetings Stamp Set and it was white embossed on to black cardstock strip that was cut with the Halftone Lines Die. I try to keep white and black cardstock strips cut from the Halftone Lines Die handy for when I need them for a sentiment. It makes the job so much easier when you have one ready to use.

To put the card together I matted my card front with aqua cardstock. Then I attached the stenciled Scallop Honeycomb Die using White Double Sided Foam Tape. I attached the plants to the scallop panel with Studio Katia Glue and the Aloe Vera was attached with White Double Sided Foam Tape. The sentiment was added with Studio Katia Glue.

The finishing touch was to add a few Bora Bora Pearls to the scallop panel using the Studio Katia Embellishment Wand.

Happy bear-thday with Kaja

August 17, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I am up on the Studio Katia blog with a cute birthday card.

Take a look:

I haven’t made a Kobi card in a while, so today I pulled out the Kobi makes a wish stamp set and stamped out the bear holding a cake. I wanted to add some accesories to him, so I stamped out a party hat and a balloon from Kobi the birthday bear stamp set. I colored everything using alcohol markers and once everything was finished I added some white details using a white gel pen.

Next, I took a piece of purple card stock and started ink blending over top using Ink blending brushes and Heart-fetti stencil. I went with purple on purple look and I made sure that the colors match with the colored images.

The background seemed a bit too dard, so I die cut a white square using Scallop square die and I inkblended a sky and the ground towards the right side of the paper using blue and green ink. Once that was done, I stamped out the sentiment that reads ”Happy Bear-thday” that can be found in Kobi makes a with stamp set. I positioned the saying towards the left part of the card, so the scene is nicely balanced.

I felt like something is missing in the background so I added white stitching detail using white gel pen. Then, I glued everything together using SK glue and foam tape and the card was all finished!

Thank you for joining me,

Kaja

Birthday Wishes Card with Isha Gupta

August 14, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, CAS, New Release

Hello everyone! Isha here with you today with a birthday card. I decided to create the background using stamping by stencil technique and for the main focal image, I colored it using copic markers.

First I stamped the image from Mini Birthday Cake onto alcohol friendly paper and colored it using copic markers. For today’s image, I played with deep colors to give more dimension using dark shadows. Die-cut the image. Now to create the background, I used the Autumn Leaves stencil, spritz it with Imagine Sheer Spritz Gold and a little water. Put the stencil upside down onto the cardstock, let it stay there for a couple of minutes and remove. Let dry. Die-cut the tag from the Dotted Patterns Set 3 using vellum. Stamp the sentiment and emboss using WOW! Chocolate Caramel Pearl embossing powder.

Adhere the mat layer to pink card. Adhere the cake image using 3d foam tape to the vellum tag. Adhere the tag to the card. Now add glossy accents to the candles, nuvo aqua shimmer to the frosting. To finish, add some Rouge Pink Crystals. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice day and stay safe!

Happy Birthday Slimline Shaker Card

Hello, my Friends, Ilda here and Happy Wednesday!

I have a fun Birthday Slimeline shaker card to share with you all today. I love making slimline cards and since this is a birthday card, I thought making it interactive would be fun for the recipient.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped the cute little MINI BIRTHDAY CAKE and die cut it using the coordinating MINI BIRTHDAY CAKE DIE. I then colored the image in using Copic Markers.

The next step was to die cut all the pieces for the shaker card. I first die cut the larger frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE – SET 2. I then die cut the center of the panel using the oval dotted frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE – SET 1. Behind the slimline panel, I glued a piece of acetate cut large enough to cover the window. To line the perimeter of the oval opening I used FOAM TAPE that I cut to about half of the width.

On the slimline card base, I glued a piece of rainbow pattern paper from the BLACK, WHITE AND RAINBOW PAPER pack. Since the slimline is longer than the papers, I just extended the pattern by adding another piece of the same pattern that I cut to fit the card base. I then added the VANILLA LUSTER FUSION sequins to the center of the pattern paper and carefully lined up the front panel to create the shaker.

Next, I die cut the Birthday letters using the CHUNKY ALPHABET dies and added small pieces of BLACK FOAM to the back of each letter to add a bit of dimension and then attached them to the card front.

In place of the “A”, I just added the cute little birthday cake that I had previously colored. I also added the “happy” sentiment that comes from the HAPPY CELEBRATIONS set that I heat embossed in white on black cardstock and then fussy cut.

To finish off this fun and festive slimline birthday card, I glued on a few rainbow-colored pearls. See links below for the ones I used.

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