Studio Katia You're So Sweet Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hi friends! Erum here today and I have a cheerful, floral card to share with you. My card features the You’re So Sweet Stamp Set.

I kept my card super simple. I started by first stamping with antique linen distress ink because I was going for a no line coloured look.

I used Prismaolor Pencils to colour the images. I first added the lightest colour and then proceeded to add darker shades as I moved towards the flower center.

I did film the colouring process but it was SO boring and so long that I just left the video editing halfway! After I was done with the colouring, I added black and white paint splatters, popped up a sentiment. In the end, I added a few yellow sequins.

Monster Hugs Card and Tag with Liliuska

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hello Everyone! Liliuska here and I have a Monster Birthday Card to share with you today. And I also made a matching Tag. I combined images from Whimsical Town stamp set and Monster Bash stamp set to create a scene.

Do you ever start with a plan and can’t follow it? As I was stamping images and deciding what mediums I will use to colour my images, I was planning on a very simple card, and a quick one, too. Well, guess what, I got carried away and ended up not only stamping a whole lot of cute monsters and pretty buildings, but also cutting out masks for all of them. And so instead of creating a quick and simple card I have a whole scene. I have to admit I do like it a lot, especially all the sparkles…

First I stamped three monsters on a panel I die cut with a die from Dotted Patterns Set 3. This set my latest favourite and I don’t even put these dies away I use them so often. After stamping the monsters I covered them with masks and started stamping buildings. I covered all stamped images with masks (I did get carried away lol) and started working on the background. I used distress inks in blue and purple shades to make this intense night sky. To brighten it up a little I added some splashes with white and golden shimmer pens. And once I did that I knew right away what else did my scene need after I coloured all the images with alcohol markers. A lot of sparkle! I used Nuvo Crystal Glaze on couple roofs, monsters’ eyes and one of the monster’s head. I used Nuvo Glitter Drops to cover a star-shaped sentiment and couple roofs. I also used a clear glitter pen to highlight some small details on whimsical buildings.

Once everything was dry, I foam mounted the sentiment and three monsters. And since I coloured more monsters than I needed, I decided to add one inside of the card.

I couldn’t resist making a matching tag. Usually I make two cards that look similar, and are different at the same time. Lately I am into making matching tags. I just can’t get enough of that cute tag from Dotted Patterns Set 3. Here’s my little tag with a scene.

Thank you for stopping by! Hope you were inspired by my today’s projects!

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.

Studio Katia Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

Hi there everyone! I hope you all are doing well.

I am here with a colourful, bold card featuring the Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set mainly.

Studio Katia Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I started by stamping the flowers on watercolour paper. Next, I roughly watercoloured the images with Autumnal colours. I decided to use a different colour base instead of the typical Autumn ones, like off white or kraft. Instead I picked out black cardstock so that my follows an Autumn colour theme but doesn’t look like an Autumn card. I hope you understand what I am saying 🙂

Next I fussy cut all the images and set them aside. I pulled out a black card base and added some white splatters. Then I arranged the floral bouquet and added some gold paint splatters.

After this I popped up the sentiment which is from Birthday Greeting Stamp Set. In the end, I added some Crystal Rainbow Fusion for bling.

Crafty Friend Birthday Card by Ilda

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hello everyone, Ilda here from I Love Doing All things crafty!

Today I have an example of a quick and simple birthday card you can make for a crafty friend. The Studio Katia Birthday Greetings is packed with wonderful birthday sentiments for both crafty and non-crafty friends. It is definitely one of my go-to stamp sets when I make birthday cards for my crafty friends.

To make the card, I blended a few colors of Distress Oxide Ink on to a piece of Bristol Paper.

I then sprayed the paper with water to lift some of the color. Next, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Halftone Dots Cover Die to add to the colored panel and complete the background. I then glued the background onto a top folding A2 sized black card base. For the greeting, I stamped it on some black cardstock using a white pigment ink and then heat set it with white embossing powder. I then cut the paper into a square shape and added it to the center of the card, popping it up with foam tape. To add some shine and sparkle to the card, I added some April Crystals randomly to the card front.

To the inside of the card, I stamped this greeting onto a white piece of paper that I glued then on the inside panel.

Next time you want to make a quick and easy birthday card hopefully you think of and are inspired by this crafty friend birthday card of mine!

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

After that I cut out a rectangle out of mint cardstock and heat embossef a sentiment from Birthday Greetings set.

All marine life I mounted on a foam tape. I placed the sentiment in the middle of the card and embellished with CLEAR DROPS | MIX ONE

Ocean birthday card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I made a sweet summer birthday card!

Take a look:

The first thing I did was the background. I used watercolor paper on which I applied three colors of distress inks: Chipped sapphire, Salty ocean and Tumbled glass. I made an ombre look, so I went from the darkest at the bottom towards the lightest at the top.

Then I used Brush stroke waves stencil and white pigment ink to make it even more ocean like.

Next, I die cut the background with Dotted patterns: Scallop frames die and trimmed it at the left side, so I got an interesting look at the end.

Next up was the coloring. I stamped out two fish and a squid from Under the sea set and colored them in using alcohol markers. I placed them over my ocean background and I felt like something is missing so I added the seaweed at the bottom. I die cut everything using it’s coordinating dies.

Then I glued everything the background using liquid glue.

After that I added the sentiment. Birthday greetings set has a lot of great birthday sayings, but I ended up using ‘Have an awesome birthday!’. I stamped it in black on a white paper and then I trimmed it to a small rectangle that I popped up using foam tape.

I felt like my animals need some air bubbles, so I used Clear drop mix to make them. I glued them down using liquid glue.

The last thing I did was glued down the ocean background and I used double sided tape to do so.

That’s it for today! Thank you so much for joining me! See you next time.

Birthday Shaker Card with Rowena

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello friends! Rowena here today sharing a fun birthday shaker card. Hope you all are having a wonderful summer full of sunny and warm days. So lets get started!

I’ve been admiring all the beautiful alcohol backgrounds on instagram for sometime now. So, I finally succumb and bought some inks to try.

For my background I used a combination of blues, greens, and a bit of purple to create my watery background. It’s literally mixing the colors and adding the blender solution on your paper. And I can’t believe its that easy and you end up with amazing backgrounds. There are ton of youtube tutorials online.

LogoLicious_20180723_122148

To create the window of my shaker, I used Scallop Window – Creative Die. I just love the shape of this die and it’s perfect for creating shaker cards. Then I added a singe layer of foam tape to my window. For my shaker elements I used the following: Sparkling Sea confetti, Majestic confetti, Sparkling crystal, and Mint Dream crystal.

LogoLicious_20180723_122433

 

I colored the cute birthday turtle from Shell-ebration stamp set and the corals, fish, and seaweed from the Under the Sea stamp set. I colored my images with my colored pencil and used the coordinating dies( I actually colored this during the coloring challenge that was hosted by Kathy Racoosin back in June). I added glossy accent to the coral, seaweed, and the turtle shell for added dimension.

 

LogoLicious_20180723_122250

To finish my card I used one of the sentiment from the Birthday Greetings stamp set (I absolutely love this set), stamped it using onyx black ink.

That’s it for me today! Till next time 🙂 Happy crafting!!

Hugs,

Rowena

Sea You Soon with Kristina

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS

Hello everyone! It’s Kristina here! Today I want to share with you two fun cards in similar technique that I made with Under The Sea stamp set.

I started by watercoloring a background with distress inks on a watercolor paper, then splattered it with water and added some splatters with the same inks.

After my background was dry, I stamped the sentiment with black ink.

Next, I stamped the images from Under the Sea stamp set, colored then with Copic markers, die cut with coordinating dies and adhered all images with foam tape onto my panel.

To finish my card, I added sparkling sequins.

The second card is very similar to the previous one, only I used a stingray as the focal image.

 

That’s all for today!

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Cute summer birthday card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have a cute summer birthday card for you! 🙂

Take a look:

Before I started on this card, I knew that I want it to be summer themed, since we are in the middle of summer. So, I stamped out a bunch of images from Under the sea and Shell-ebration stamp sets and I colored them using alcohol markers. Then, I used the coordinating dies to die cut them to give them a nice finished look.

I decided to make a round window for my animals, so I used white card stock to die cut the big circle from Dotted patterns: Fancy circle die set.

My animals needed a background, so I ink-blended two colors of distress oxides together: Faded jeans and Black soot. Before gluing everything together, I added some water splotches to the panel, so it looks more like the ocean.

Then, I cut down a piece of gray cardstock and made it slightly smaller than my card base. I used a white gel pen to add a white line across the gray square and glued everything together using liquid glue.

Of course my card needed a sentiment, so I heat embossed one of my favorite SK sentiments: ‘May your birthday be as awesome as you are’ from Birthday greeting set. I popped it up using square foam.

That’s it for today! Thank you so much for joining me! See you next time.
