Back stamping birthday card with Kaja

July 10, 2020 / 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!

A Flourishing Note Hello Friendship Card

July 8, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards, New Release, Other

Hey everyone, Ilda here!

Today I am sending you all a Flourishing Hello. Love this new FLOURISHING NOTE stamp from Studio Katia, it is so pretty and it makes for such a beautiful friendship card!

CARD DETAILS

To begin this beauty, I stamped out the image from the FLOURISHING NOTE and colored it in using Copic markers. I then used the coordinating FLOURISHING NOTE DIES to cut out the image as well as the Hello die 3 times from black cardstock that I will use later on.

For the background, I first used the inside of the SCALLOP HEARTS COVER to die cut the hearts from the white panel. I then used the largest scallop frame from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 to finish off the card panel.

Behind the heart openings, I glued a piece of pale pink cardstock to add another layer of color. I then die cut another layer of blue hearts using the SCALLOP HEARTS COVER to add a blue edge to the white hearts, I then popped the hearts back in place with foam tape and glued the Flourishing Card Stamp in place.

TIP: I also used the same blue cardstock piece that I die cut the blue heart edges from to glue onto the card base as the center of the panel gets covered up and won’t be seen.

For finishing touches, I added some new BLUEBELL PEARLS and then added the hello that I had stacked and glued together from the FLOURISHING NOTE DIES and then added Glossy Accents to.

Wishing you all a wonderful day! Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting 👋

Crafty Hugs, Ilda

Video. Full panel shaker card

July 7, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone! It’s Galina and today I want to show you how to create a bright full panel shaker card using Studio Katia pattern paper that now back in stock.

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

Card details

For this card I used a beautiful stamp set – FLOURISHING NOTE. I love the whole design of this set: beautiful flowers and amazing handwritten sentiments. The flowers have a lot of details and the perfect for full coloring or just for stamping in one color. I stamped the image with Memento black ink and colored it with copic markers:

– Red flowers: R21, R22, R24, R27

– Yellow flowers: Y15, YR24

– Blie flowers: B00, B 14

– Leaves: YG41, G07, G28

Using a rectangle die from DARLING RIBBON & FRAMES die set I cut out a panel from the rainbow paper sheet. I cut out a thin frame using a die from LOOPS die set. I simply separated the frame die from the base with a metal snippers and now I have more options with this die set.I attached the white frame on the acetate sheet and put Crystal clear confetti on the panel and the I foam mount the frame with acetate.

I hope you like this card and you will try to create a king size shaker cards 🙂

Have a great day

Cacti Hugs by Tracey

July 6, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards, Other

Hi there, it’s Tracey here today this past week for an exciting week in both Canada and the U.S. celebrating Canada Day and Independence Day. As we enter the 5th month of the pandemic it may have been a more subdued celebration than normal. So if you can’t enjoy fireworks you can make a card and today I have a cute slimline cactus card.

I stamped out 5 cactus images from the Studio Katia Cactus Hugs stamp set and coloured the images with Copic markers adding shading on all the images. I added adding a bit more interest to the cacti with a white gel pen. Using my Copic blender I created some spots to the succulent on the far right. Once done I die cut the images with the Studio Katia Cactus Hugs Creative Dies.

I have five Cacti on the font of my card so I wanted my heading to reflect multiple cactus. I cut the letters to spell Cacti using the Studio Katia Chunky Alpha Creative Dies in black.

I die cut a panel of Neenah Solar white cardstock using the large rounded rectangle from the new Studio Katia Dotted Slimline Set 1. To ground my images I lightly blended Tea Dye and Crushed Olive Distress Inks to the bottom of the panel with my Studio Katia Blending Brushes. Then I flicked a bit of watered down Ground Expresso Distress Ink on to the panel.

Using white glue I adhered the word Cacti on to the panel slightly to the left. I stamped the word Hugs just below the word Cacti on the right side . I added the five images with Studio Katia Double Sided Foam Tape on to the panel. The whole panel was added to a bright green 3 1/2″ x 8 1/2″ folded card base. I finished it off by adding a few of the new Studio Katia Moss Green Pearls using Studio Katia Glue and the Studio Katia Embellishment Wand. I have been obsessed with these new shiny pearls in three different sizes. The tiny ones are my favourite!

Video. Shaker cups slimline card

July 3, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards, New Release, News, Shaker Cards

Hello friends! Galina with you today. And I want to share with how to create little shakers inside of the pretty cups with craft supplies. It’s a stamp set from our new release, if you missed it you can find all information and all new supplies in this post(click). Also for today’s project I picked new slimline dies and I absolutely in love with this new card format.

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

To create a bright background I cut out a white card panel using slimline dies set 2 and I add distress inks, I applied them diagonally with Studio Katia blender brushes on a thick cardstock. I masked edges of my die cut with a masking tape to keep them white.

Inside of the two pink cups I put yellow crystals called Pineapple Delight, they look so yummy!

All my images I colored with copic markers. I colored the cups with 3 shades of the each color to create a more realistic look on them.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Hello Shaker Card with Isha Gupta

July 1, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Other, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone! Isha here with you today with a fun shaker card with no-line water color technique. I used all the products from our newest release, if you haven’t checked them yet, please do. You are going to love it 🙂 For today’s card I used Black, White &Rainbow paper, Craftastic stamp and dies, Dotted Patterns set 3 dies along with Vanilla Luster fusion sequins.

I started by creating a white card panel. I then adhered a stripe of rainbow pattern paper to the left side. I then die-cut the oval, sponged scattered straw, spun sugar and tumbled glass distress oxide to it. Adhere it to the card. I also adhered the delicate frame around the oval piece. Stamp the image onto watercolor cardstock using antique linen distress ink. I then colored the image using faber castell watercolor markers and daniel smith watercolors. Let it dry and die-cut it. Die-cut the center to create the shaker. Place the image where it will come on the card and adhere the center die-cut negative piece. Adhere a piece of acetate behind the image. Now add 3D foam all around the opening on the back side. add some sequins and adhere to the cardbase.

Stamp the sentiment and adhere to the card. To finish, add some sequins. Thank you for dropping by!

Have a nice crafty day!

Clean and simple greeting card

June 29, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Hello Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and I am sure that you are aware that Studio Katia just released a bunch of gorgeous new stuff, so I made a clean and simple greeting card for you using only the things you will find in the new release!

Take a look:

First, I stamped out the crafty cup from Craftastic stamp set on white paper and colored it in using alcohol markers. I went with a rainbow of colors for the supplies and gray mug. I made sure I made one of the details on each of the supplies in gray to better connect with the cup.

Next, I flipped through the brand new Studio Katia paper (that you have to check out if I haven’t already!) and I decided to go with the rainbow stripes that match perfectly with my cup. Then, I die cut one edge of the paper with the new Dotted slimline set 2 die to get a nice dotted edge. I put the paper towards the bottom of the landscaped card base and then positioned the cup on the top left side of the card.

The last thing I added was a simple ‘hello’ die cut that can be found in the Flourishing note dies. I went with black color to make sure that the sentiment popped against the rainbow colors.

That’s it for today, hope you feel inspired to make one clean and simple card yourself since it really takes no time to make!

Hugs,

Kaja

Under The Sea with Olga

June 27, 2020 / 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!

Slimline Crafty Hugs Friendship Card

Slimline, Crafty Hugs, Friendship Card, Studio Katia, Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to, Craftastic, Studio Katia pearls, rainbow

Hello, again my Friends, Ilda here!

I am back today with another card featuring products from the New Release. If you missed the news, make sure you click on the link to join the Studio Katia June Release Blog Hop, lots of inspiration and prizes to be won!

I was so excited to see some slimline dies and a 6X6 paper pack in the New Release which has lots of rainbow pattern goodness (which happens to be my favorite). Plus you know I love all things crafty, so I absolutely love the CRAFTASTIC set that I used in today’s card.

CARD DETAILS

To begin this card I actually began by die cutting the cup of crafty tools out first using the CRAFTASTIC DIES. The die is solid which makes it harder to line up with a stamped image. It was designed this way because it cuts inside the stamped area. But by die cutting it first, I now knew where to stamp the image from the CRAFTASTIC set and line it all up.

TIP: If you use the negative piece of the die-cut and line it up in your stamp positioner you can then center the stamp in the die-cut area. Test out the alignment by using a post-it under the die-cut opening, and then once it is lined up, add your die-cut piece back in place and stamp. This is a great way to stamp multiple images for mass production.

I then just colored the images in using Copic markers and stamped the “you inspire me” sentiment on the front of the mug.

Next, I die cut center dotted frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE – SET 2 and stamped out the sentiments from the CRAFTASTIC set.

I then die cut the scalloped layer using a rainbow pattern cardstock from the new BLACK, WHITE, AND RAINBOW PAPER pack. I taped used 2 pieces of the paper together to create the length for the Slimline Scallop Die that comes again from the DOTTED SLIMLINE – SET 2.

Beneath the scalloped rainbow layer, I also added the largest dotted frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE – SET 1. I then assembled the card using FOAM TAPE and Studio Katia Glue.

To finish off the rainbow-inspired Slimline Crafty Hugs Friendship Card, I added a variety of pearls in various colors of the rainbow. See links below for all the new pearls.

I hope you love this card as much as I do, and are inspired to create something similar to send to a crafty friend that inspires you!

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