Lots of Gifts Slider Tag with Liliya

November 15, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Winter Holidays

Happy Friday, everyone!
I had so much fun playing with the Slider Tag Die Set. It’s a great set with lots of dies, but for today’s post I only used the dies I needed to put a slider together.

First, I started working on my focal point. I stamped Kobi from KOBI BEARING GIFTS and coloured him with alcohol markers. I added some accents on the gifts with silver and gold gel pens. I die cut it out with coordinating die.

I die cut out the front of the tag and the inside tag out of white cardstock. For the back part of the tag I picked dark teal cardstock, and die cut out reinforcers out of the same cardstock.

I stamped images from Lots of Gifs Trimmings stamp set on the top part of the tag. I also stamped the gifts border on the bottom of the inside part and a sentiment from GIFT TAG GREETINGS: WINTER.

I decided to keep the colouring simple, otherwise the tag would turn out to be too busy, and only coloured some accents on the gifts using the same colours of alcohol markers that I used on the gifts carried by Kobi. To tie the white top with the rest of the tag I ink blended the edges of the tag using Studio Katia INK BLENDER BRUSHES and Peacock Feathers Oxide Ink which matched the teal cardstock perfectly.

I assembled the tag using strong double sided tape and adhered Kobi to the moving part of the tag, making sure to glue him to the bottom part only. I also used silver and golden embroidery thread to make twine for the tag.

I left the inside of the tag plain – a spot to write a personal message.

I hope this will give you some ideas for creating your own Slider Tags. And this kind of tag would be perfect for any occasion really.

Have a wonderful and inspiring day!

Hi there everyone! Erum here with a super colourful card to share featuring the Monster Bash Stamp Set.

For the background, I used the Underwater Sun Rays Stencil and multiple colours of distress inks. It looks super cool and goes with the monochromatic monsters. The monsters were coloured with a very light hand using a black Prismacolor pencil and a blending stump.

I hope you liked my colourful card!

Sparkly Mermaid Card by Erum

October 7, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Other

Hi there everyone! Erum here today with a fun, sparkly card to share featuring the Mermaid For Eachother Stamp Set.

First I die cut the Sea Shell Shaker Die then inked the pieces with peacock feathers distress ink. I then glittered just once of the pieces and once it was dry, I put everything back together.

Next, I coloured the mermaid from the Mermaid for Eachother stamp set with prismacolor pencils and then applied Just Glitter on her lower half.

Before adhering everything to the card front, I first added very diluted splatters of peacock feathers, mermaid lagoon and chipped sapphire distress inks. Once these were dry, I also added fine black paint splatters and then adhered everything on foam tape. The sentiment is from Shell-ebration Stamp Set.

To finish, I adhered some Dots Glitter and also a few Iridescent Bubbles.

I hope you liked my card. That is all from my side today. Thank you for stopping by!

Best Day Ever with Isha Gupta

September 4, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Other

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a black CAS card with a pop of color.

I love black cards with a pop of color, although I have to admit that this one was difficult to capture in pics 🙂 Sorry about that. I started by creating a black panel as the background layer. I stamped the pretty florals using versamark ink and then embossed using the black glint embossing glitter from WOW! Embossing Powder. I then adhered this panel to a peack cardstock. I then die-cut the word Best using the same peach CS. I die-cut the shadow of the best die using vellum and adhered them together. Check out the pretty tone on tone background.

I then stamped the rest of the sentiment and adhered everything to the card. To finish, I adhered some pretty Onyx Crystals. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day!

Balloon Birthday Cards with Ilda

August 22, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hello Studio Katia Friends, Ilda here!

Today’s post is all about balloons and birthdays. Not sure about you all but I find my birthday card stash is always on the low side so I thought I would share 3 easy-ish cards that you could make fairly quickly.

For this first card, I started by die-cutting the SHAKER BALLOON DIE out of cardstock scraps in rainbow colors. I also die cut an extra balloon out to use to add the white highlight to each balloon by using the edge of the balloon to blend a highlight using a small blender brush.

The next thing I did was arrange the balloons onto the card base and temporarily adhered them. I then picked out some birthday stamps from stamp sets I had that would fit nicely onto each balloon and then used a stamping positioner to ensure I would get a great impression. See the supply list below for links to the stamp sets I used.You can also refer to the next image.

Once my stamping was complete, I popped up some of the balloons using foam tape and trimmed anything that hung off the edge of the card. To the bottom balloons, I added the cute little die cut bows and then topped them off with APRIL CRYSTALS.

This next card was super simple to make. I actually die cut the balloon this time out of white cardstock and then just used red Copic Markers to color it in. In hindsight, this was more time consuming and it would have been quicker to die cut it from a red piece of cardstock. I then used the HEART- FETTI stencil to add the little hearts to the balloon using white pigment ink.

For the clouds, I used the SKY SET DOTTED BORDERS and then used the die cut cloud piece as a stencil to lightly blend out the clouds in the background. To finish the card, I added some white thread behind the balloon before popping it in place and then glued a bow to the base of the balloon. I then stamped out the Make a Wish from the KOBI MAKES A WISH set.

For my last card, I wanted to play with watercolors. So I used the BIRTHDAY BALLOONS DUO STENCIL to guide areas that I was painting. I began by painting the purple balloons first, then the blue and lastly the green. I used the paintbrush loaded with a lot of pigment initially to add trace out the border of the balloons and then I would lift off the stencil and color them in adding a very little pigment in the center of the balloons to leave a highlight. I waited for each color to dry before moving on to the next color. I then used the same watercolors to add some splatters over the entire panel. Once it was dry I trimmed it to add to the card base.

The next thing I did was stamp out the Happy Birthday to You! from the IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY on the center of the balloon panel and embossed it white. Well, that really didn’t show up much… So to save this card I restamped it. I placed the panel back into the positioner, restamped it with watermark ink and used a black embossing powder this time. I repeated this step again as the first layer of black mixed with the white and left an uneven color. Sometimes mistakes happen and that is why the edges of the center stamp are kinda blurry. I didn’t mind it too much as it kinda worked with the messy watercolor effect on the balloons.

To finish, I glued a few sequins to match the colors of the balloons.

Hope you were inspired by these Balloon Birthday Cards today. Thank you all for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Birthday Card with Dana

August 20, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’d like to share birthday card with you today.

To start, I stamped Birthday Balloons-Horizontal images onto the top and the bottom of A2 sized britol paper. I used black hybrid ink for the images.

I then watercolored balloons using Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers with waterbrush. I used No.031 Cobalt Blue and No.042 Turquoise Green colors. For some of them, especially golden balloons, I used Prima Marketing Metallic Accents with water.

Once they dried, I gold heat embossed a sentiment from It’s Your Birthday. To finish off, I splattered black and gold inks here and there as shown in the picture.

Hope you enjoyed this card. Happy crafting!

Celebrating You with Erum

August 16, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi everyone! Erum here with a clean and simple card to share featuring the Japanese Peony Stamp Set.

I started by stamping the image in alcohol marker proof ink on Crest Solar White cardstock. Next, I used pink, red, deep maroon and peach to colour my flower from dark to light. I fussy cut the flower out and set it aside.

Next, I cut out a panel and added some black paint splatters onto it. To this, I adhered the floral image with glue and cut off the excess from the sides.

I stamped a sentiment on the card base from the It’s Your Birthday Stamp Set. And then mounted the flower panel onto it with foam tape.

I wanted to keep this card super simple so that the flower stays the focus and star of the card.

I hope you liked my card! See you all soon!

Leafy birthday with Kaja

August 7, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts here with you today and I have prepared a cute birthday card!

Take a look:

First, I made the background. I started by watercoloring leaves on the piece of watercolored paper for which I used distress inks in multiple yellow, green and blue shades. I draw in the leaves by hand.

Then, I took a die from Dotted patterns 2 set. I decided to go with just a textured look, so I placed all the pieces back together like a puzzle and I was left with only embossed dots and paper cut lines.

Next, I stamped out Kobi the bear from Kobi makes a wish stamp set which I colored in using alcohol markers. I used gray for the bear and green and bluw for the cake, so everything coordinates with the background.

The last thing I added was the sentiment which reads ‘Hooray it’s your day’ and can be found in It’s your birthday stamp set.

I glued everything together using liquid glue and some foam tape.

Thank you for joining me!
