Shadow Box Cards with Natalia

December 14, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there! It’s Natalia here and today I share with you my super cute diorama/shadow box card using beautiful Studio Katia supplies – Kobi’s Ice Day and Holiday Village.

First, I stamped cute images from the Kobi’s Ice Day, Holiday Village and Winter Kobi colored them with copic markers and die cut with coordinating dies.

Next, I blended some distress inks onto a white piece of paper. Another 3 white pieces of paper I die cut using dies from DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3 CREATIVE DIE and DARLING RIBBON & FRAMES CREATIVE DIES

Here are dimensions of those panels: 13.6 x 16.6 cm, 13.6 x 14.6 cm and 13.6 x 12.6 cm. I scored them at 3 and 13.6 cm; 2 and 12.6 cm; 1 and 11.6 cm accordingly and the flaps are glued together in the spots where they overlapped. I die cut windows in decreasing size in the center of each panel in order to get a tunnel-like look.

I adhered all the elements onto white paper panels using double-sided foam tape. I heat embossed the sentiment from Kobi’s Ice Day stamp set using white embossing powder. I decorated everything with Iridescent Ice Flakes

Thank you so much for join me today, have a great day!

Snowy mood with Svetlana

December 13, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello!
I am glad to be with you again! Christmas is coming soon, so more and more people are getting ready for this magical holiday. So, am I.
Today I want to show you my new card with an embroidered snowflake. The basis for embroidery was made with the cutting die “Stitch borders”.

I decorated the ornament of the finished snowflake in a round, openwork frame, which was cut out with a cutting die”Fancy circle”. A sentiment was added,too. It’s one of the most important parts for me in cardmaking. The message takes one of the main roles.

As for colours, red goes well with gold. Therefore, I cut down the sentiment from a golden card stock.
Thanks for attention!
Have a wonderful holiday mood and inspiration!

You’re So Sweet Card by Ilda

December 12, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hey Everyone, Ilda here!

Today I have a fun and bright card to share with you. I wanted to take a break from all the Christmas cards I’ve been making lately and create something rainbowy 🙂

I began by stamping out the sweet pea images from the You’re So Sweet set onto watercolor paper and colored them in with Tombow dual brush markers. I then die cut each of the flowers with the coordinating dies.

Next, I die cut the background using the Halftone Dots Cover Die and inserted the stems through the holes in somewhat of a rainbow color order using foam tape to pop up some of the flowers. I then adhered the background to a white card base.

For the sentiment, I die cut the friend word die from the Spring Bouquet Die set from a piece of white cardstock and a piece of black cardstock and glued them together to create a shadow effect. I then stamped out you’re so sweet on the banner from the Best Ever Dies and trimmed off one of the ends.

To embellish the card I used Liquid Pixie Dust to paint on some shimmer onto the flower petals and then glued on a variety of Studio Katia Crystals to some of the openings of the background. See links below for a list of all the crystals I used.

I hope this bright and cheerful card inspired you today. I love how this card turned out and hope you did too!

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

Floral Christmas Card by Galina Filippenko

December 11, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Winter Holidays

Hi everyone! As always, I try to make a lot of Christmas cards and one of my favorite stamp to make quick cards is POINSETTIA TRIMMINGS. This set consist of two border stamps, I can use them as one background stamp or use them separately.

At first, I cut out a card panel using large die from Dotted set 3 and Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. Next I heat embossed flowers with white embossing powder. I colored all images with copic markers. If I colored out of line and make mess on the white lines I simply swiped ink with finger, but it would be better to use dry cloth 🙂

From the same cardstock I cut a label and heat embossed a sentiment, using again white embossing powder. Also I add one additional layer of red cardstock under the sentiment and card panel. At last I cover flowers and red cardstock with liquid shimmer (Wink of Stella pen).

Poinsettia Trimmings with Liliuska

December 7, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello Everyone!

Liliuska here and today I’d like to share another Card and Tag Set I made using Poinsettia Trimmings. I like using these images, as the flowers are smaller size and are easy to color quickly.

I started by heat embossing poinsettia borders onto a tag and a panel cut out off a watercolor paper. I like using gold and platinum embossing powders for watercoloring and that’s what I did here. I colored all the images using watercolor pens. I picked scarlet red and dark red for poinsettias, light green and sepia for the leaves and warm grey for outlines.

Since I used grey for outlines, I decided to adhere my panel onto a grey card base and attached grey tag under watercolored tag with baker’s twine. To add a sentiment I stamped word Christmas with black ink and made two die cuts: Merry and Joy. I made both words thick as chipboard by glueing few white die cuts and adding a glitter paper die cut on top using Studio Katia glue.

I played with words a bit on the tag. I adhered word Joy in a way that it would overlap letter I in word Christmas, as if I and J became one letter. I embellished both the card and the tag with gold crystals using Studio Katia glue.

Thank you for stopping by! Have a wonderful day!

Snow Globe Window Card with Laura

December 3, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a clean and simple winter card I created with the Holiday Village stamp set and the Scallop Square Creative Dies.

To start off the card I created the sky background with Gansai Tambi Watercolors. Once it was dry I heat embossed the stars in the Holiday Village stamp set with Sparkling Snow embossing powder by WOW!. I die cut a small hill with the Trimmings Borders creative dies, added some shading with my Gansai Tambi Watercolors and some sparkle and dimension with the WOW! White Puff Twinkle embossing powder.

I then stamped a few images from the Holiday Village stamp set. I did some quick watercoloring on them too, and added the same WOW! White Puff Twinkle embossing powder to the snow on the little house. What a cute and charming stamp set!

The Scallop Square Creative Dies set comes with two dies that will allow you to create a snow globe. I used the domed-shaped one to die cut an opening on my card front, which I had previously die cut with the Darling Ribbon and Frames dies. I then used the small rectangular one, which can be used as the base of the snow globe, to cut some watercolor cardstock. I quickly added some color and a light woodgrain pattern to it with my Gansai Tambi watercolors.

I backed the window on my card front with some acetate, and assembled everything. I stamped one of the sentiments in the Holiday Village set with Distress Oxide in Chipped Sapphire, and that finished off my card.

And that’s it for today! I really hope you guys enjoyed this post, and I hope I inspired you to create with the lovely Holiday Village stamp set.
Thank you all so much for stopping by, and have a great day!

Winter Village Shaker Card by Ilda

November 29, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello dear friends, Ilda here!

For today’s card, I created a little magical Winter Wonderland Village Shaker Card.

Has Winter hit your part of the world yet? The weather here in this part of Western Canada has been so bizarre, one day there is snow everywhere and the next day it is almost all gone and this has been going on since September!

To make this card I first began by stamping and then coloring some of the images from the Holiday Village stamp set using Copic Markers and then used the coordinating dies to die cut the pieces.

I then used the Loops Creative Die to cut out the background from some Bristol paper and then framed the edge of the die cut piece by using the frame from the Dotted Pattern Set 3 Creative Die. To this piece, I then glued the acetate to create the windows for the shaker.

I then glued the die cut circles from the loops die, onto another piece of cardstock to create the sky background of the shaker area, using the loops die as a guide. Next, I blended out the blue colored Oxide inks onto the circles beginning and working my way from the bottom with Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon and Blueprint Sketch. I then sprayed the panel with water to create the splattered effect.

Now that the pieces were all colored, all I did next was build the shaker card by adding thin strips of foam tape along the frame and adding little pieces of foam to the middle for extra support. Before sealing the top panel of the shaker to the background I added my sequin mix that consisted of Majestic Fusion and Silver Polka Fusion Sequins.

Now that the guts of the shaker is complete, I worked on building the scene. So the next thing I did was cut out my hill using the Simple Borders Creative Dies. I added the dotted edge to the hill by using the frame from the Dotted Pattern Set 3 Creative Die again. Before popping the hill onto the card front I stamped out the Greetings of the Season sentiment from the Holiday Village set, and then added all the little stamped images that I had done earlier and glued them to the card front. I also die cut another circle to create the sun using the Loops die and inked up with yellow Oxide inks.

As finishing details I added some Iridescent Ice Flakes to the card front, Icicle Stickles to make some snow piles, glossy accents to the windows and lights and Wink of Stella to the snowman and trees. This card sparkles and shines so much in person… there is never enough glitter!

Thanks so much for joining me today. I hope this Winter Village Shaker Card inspired you!

Until next time… stay warm 🙂

Holiday Village Card with Dana

November 21, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Happy hump day, everyone!

It’s Dana from Dana G.Crafts and I’m back with a holiday card today. Here is what I came up with.

To begin, I stamped Holiday Village images using brown ink and die cut them using Coordinating die set. I colored them with Copic markers and applied snow marker to some part of them and heat set them to make puffy snow. I white heat embossed a sentiment onto grey card stock as well.

Next, I pulled out cold pressed watercolor paper and watercolored background using distress inks. Once dried, I white heat embossed snowflakes and snow.
