Hello everyone!

It’s Galina and today I have a bright summer shaker card to share with you. I embellished the card with copic colored flowers from Aloha Stamp set and a lot of colorful aequins from Summer Mix.

Card Details

I cut twice my A2 card panel using a line die from SIMPLE DOTTED BORDERS. I attached a white tulle behind those die cuts and a few pieces of foam tape from Studio Katia.

On a separate white panel I applied a few colors of Distress Oxide inks: Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Speckled Egg and Salvaged Patina. I foam mount the shaker panel on it. I attached the bottom piece of the tule on the back side of the card panel and put a lot of sequins from Summer mix inside of this shaker pocket. I closed the top edge with a tulle in the same way.

I stamped one small flower and 6 leaves from the Aloha Stamp set with Memento black ink and I colored them with alcohol based Copic Markers. For the flower I used : R21, 22, 24, 27, 59. For the leaves : G20, 24, 43, 28. I cut out the stamped images with coordinating dies and attached them on a card panel.

I stamped two sentiments using small stamps from the Aloha Stamp Set.

Hello everyone!
It’s Galina with you today. I want to share with you how I made a pretty card background with small flowers. I was creating a birthday card with cute little bees from the HONEY BEES Stamp Set and I decided I needed to add fancy details.

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

Card Details

I stamped a lot of small flowers on a bright white paper. I colored them with Arteza watercolor markers. But I didn’t make any blending with water. I used this medium because of high pigment ink in markers and I want to have bright red flowers on my card.

I cut out a panel using a rectangle die from and covered all the flowers with Glossy accent medium. I stamped teo cute bees on a same paper and colored them with Arteza markers. I cut out those images with a round die from the Dotted Patterns 1 die set. I foam mount them, on a card and heat embossed the sentiment on a black paper.

No line coloring fluffy squad

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina! Today I want to share with you some no-lineĀ  coloring tips and a cute card for someone awesome šŸ™‚ I played with a quite large stamp called Best Friends stamp Set and Scallop Oblong die set.

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

Card details

I stamped the image with puppies and cats on a watercolor paper with light yellow distress ink – antique linen, because I want to color animals with orange and brown colors. For coloring I used watercolor based markers – Distress Markers, you can also color with distress ink. I blended ink with water using a water brush.

I cut out a large scallop frame from a kraft cardstock using a Scallop Oblong Die set. To cut out the inner window I used an oval die from this set. I used an oval die again to cut out a thin oval frame from a gold glitter cardstock.

To embellish the card I cut out a blue stripe for a sentiment using a die from Darling Ribbon Die set and aĀ  red heart using a small die from the Scallop oblong die set. To finish the card I attached a few Gold Foil Pearls on the left and right sides of the card.

Iridescent bubbles frame

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hello everyone and thanks for joining me. I want to show how I made a card inspired by beautifulĀ  iridescent embellishments.
It was the first time when I tried these bubbles on black cardstock and I simply adore them and I decided to make a whole black card and use as many bubbles as I can šŸ™‚
How I made this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel.

Card details

I cut out a black panel using Mini Polka dots Cover die and I attached it on a black card base.

Using an Oval Nesting die set I cut out a black frame and an oval panel. I embellished the frame with iridescent bubbles.

I stamp beautiful roses from the Kind Bouquet stamp set and colored it with Copic markers.

This stamp set is in the retired section, so grab it while you can for only 5$ HERE.

I cut out the bouquet with a coordinating die and colored the white frame around the stamped image with black Copic marker. Now It looks like I colored directly on the black cardstock.

I was inspired by the colorful shine from the bubbles and I see a lot of blue, green and pink colors on them.

So I picked such colors for the flowers:

Pink flower: RV002, RV14, RV29

Light Blue flower: B00, B12, B14

Dark blue\violet flower: B21, B24, B26, RV02 (over the light blue parts)

I heat embossed a sentiment from the Peony Trimmings Stamp set and cut it out using coordinating stripe die.
I foam mount it on the right side, I removed one big bubble to do so.

Card details

I used a DARLING RIBBON & FRAMES die set to cut out a large A2 panel and two small panels for the shaker.

I cut out a heart inside of the small white panel using Shaker Heart die.

I cut two more hearts from mirror and glitter cardstock.I attached a clear acetate sheet on the back side of the white panel and on the front side I attached two heart frames.

I stamped sentiments on the grey panel with dark brown ink from the same stamp set.

I placed confetti and tiny bubbles on the grey panel and foam mount the white panel. I carefully covered the confetti with a white panel.
