Winter wishes with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I made a cute winter card! Let’s take a look how I made it! 🙂

The card looks like this:

First, I made the background. I decided to do some ink blending and the easiest way for me to do so is with distress oxides. I used three colors of ink, the lightest shade is Tumbled glass, the medium shade is Broken china and the darkest shade is faded jeans.

Once the background was all covered in ink I die cut it using the rectangle from Dotted patterns set 3 die set. Then, I sprinked it using clear water to get some light splotches and after that I used white paint and made some more splotches, that now look like snow.

I stamped out Kobi the bear from Kobi’s ice day stamp set and I masked off the bottom part of his ice-skates, so it looks like he is wearing boots. After that I stamped out a house, some trees and a snowman from the new set called Holiday village. I colored everything in using alcohol markers and then I die cut it using it’s coordinating dies.

Next, I decided to make a snowy hill, so I die cut another rectangle from the same Dotted patterns set 3 die set, but this time I used a normal white card stock. Then, I used Simple dotted borders die to cut down two hills from it that fit perfectly on the background.

The only thing left to do was to add a sentiment and I decided to use a simple ‘winter wishes’ saying from the Holiday village stamp set. I stamped it in black on a piece of white cardstock that I trimmed down using my paper trimmer.

Then, I glued everything together using Studio Katia glue and some double sided foam rectangles.

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

Thank You So Much with Rubeena

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Thank You Cards

Good morning, Studio Katia friends! Rubeena here with a simple card using lots of florals from the set, Floral Trimmings. What I love about this set is how versatile it is. It includes many images that would be perfect for border stamping, masking and covering a card base to mimic a “background stamp” or using each stamp on its own.

Since this is my first time using the set, I decided to keep it simple. I stamped one of the images on each side of a sheet of white cardstock. I colored the flowers and leaves with alcohol ink markers.

I added some details with a white gel pen for highlights. I thought the sentiment “thank you” and “so much” from Thank You So Much would be perfect. I stamped it in the center with black pigment ink and heat-embossed with clear embossing ink for added effect. I trimmed down on the sides and mounted the panel over a black folded cardbase. I finished it off with some Iridescent Gems.

I hope you were inspired to create today. Thanks so much for stopping by! 🙂

Floral shaker card with Galina Filippenko

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Shaker Cards

Hi guys! It’s Galina and I want to share with you a fun shaker card.

For this card I made a rectangle shaker window using die and craft cardstock. For inner peace I use regular white cardstock and applied a distress ink on edges. Next I applied yellow distress ink through the mask to create a focal point for my flower.

I colored this beautiful flowers with copic markers and cut it out with coordinating dies. I foam mount kraft cardstock onto inner paper and add sequins and stars. I adhere flower on top of the shaker card, directly on acetate sheet.

At last, I glued shaker panel on the card base.

Have a great day!

Shining Poinsettia with Svetlana

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi everybody!
Do you like extraordinary cards? As for me, I adore them. Here’s my new card with poinsetti Christmas tree. I made it with help of special triangle stencil and Studio Katia’s ” Poinsettia Trimmings” set of stamps.

The stencil is made from a sheet of paper. Using it, I stamped out flowers and drew the lines. The tree is painted with Copic sketch markers. The space around the tree is coloured with yellow distress ink like it’s shining around and the darker one is made with dark blue distress inks.

 I added embossed sentiment, white splashes and some sequins.

Hope you like the card! Enjoy your day and may all your crafty dreams come true!

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.

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

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.

See you soon.

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!

Trick or treat with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I made a halloween card for you! 🙂

Take a look:

First, I did the background. I took a gray card stock on which I built my pattern. I used the spider-web stencil that I placed towards the left top corner and I inked over it with two colors of distress oxides – Black soot and Hickory smoke.

Next, I stamped out Kobi the Grim Reaper and some accesories that can be found in the same set. I colored everything in using alcohol markers and once I was finished with the coloring I added some details using the white gel pen. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out.

I trimmed down the backround pannel to be slightly smaller than my card base and then I glued it in the center of a top folding card base. The edges seemed a bit boring so I added  a black line with my pen.

The last thing I did was gluing down the bear for which I used the brand new Studio Katia glue that works perfect with everything!

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

Super Kobi and the Monster Gang Halloween Scene Card with Ilda

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween

Hello friends! Ilda here, and I’m back on the Studio Katia Blog today sharing this fun Halloween scene card featuring Kobi the Super Bear Stamps and Dies and together with the Monster Bash Stamp and Die set.

To make this card I started by stamping out all the images, colored them in with Copic markers and then die cut them using coordinating dies. I then blended out 3 colors of distress oxide inks onto my background (Carved Pumpkin, Wilted Violet and Black Soot) and then sprayed the surface with water and picked up the droplets with a paper towel. Next I sprayed the Spider Web Stencil with water and layed it onto the background, allowing it to get absorbed by the paper. I then carefully lifted the stencil off and picked up the water from the paper using a paper towel, which left behind the behind the spiderweb impressions. I then die cut the background using the large dotted rectangle from the Dotted Patterns Set 3 Die set. Then I arranged the little monsters and glue them into place (some directly onto the background and others popped up with foam tape for dimension). Stamped the Halloween Greeting onto the sentiment banner strip from the Best Ever Die set, and glued that into place. Then I finished the card front by adding these fun Silver Polka Fusion Sequins for some sparkle as well as glossy accents.

To the inside I stamped out this fun sentiment!

Hope this uper Kobi and the Monster Gang Halloween Scene Card has inspired you today!

Until next time… Have a BOO-tiful Day!

Boo-tiful card

/ CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Galina. Let’s make more boo-tiful cards! The season is open 🙂

For this card I used new stencil and few old but cool pumkin dies.

I start with cutting a panel from orange color cardstock, next I applied black ink on edges and cover the panel with stencil and glitter texture paste from Nuvo.

On the orange cardstock I stamped few pumpkins using brown ink ant cut them out. On the green cardstock I heat emboss a sentiment with white powder and stamp from Monster Bash  set. To create a main focal point I cut an oval frame from black cardstock and adhere all elements in a center.

To finish my card I glued my panel on a black card base.

Thank you for stopping by, have a great day!

Halloween Shaker Card with Dana

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween, Shaker Cards

Hello, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m sharing a Halloween shaker card today. I featured old and new Studio Katia products and here is what I came up with.

To begin, I stamped super cute cat and candies from Meowy Halloween Stamp Set and colored them in with Copic markers.

I added furry details to cat’s ears using white colored pencil. I then cut them using scissors and craft knife for cat’s hands for next step.

 

Next, I stenciled background with Spider Web Stencil. I used Mowed Lawn, Lucky Clover, Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks. After that, I sprayed black ink to the background.

 

While it dried, I die cut kitty’s treat bag using Dotted Scallop Oblong Die Set from white card stock. I then built a shaker using foam tape, Wicked Fusion and Onyx Crystals Mix. I adhered vellum behind the shaker after I ink blended it with Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Ink.

I white heat embossed a sentiment from same stamp set onto a piece of black card stock and cut it using craft knife. To finish, I mounted all elements and added hemp cord between cat and shaker using Glue as shown in the picture.

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