Shark-tastic shaker card with a wavy card background

January 13, 2022 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina and I have another shaker card to share! In my previous post you may have seen how I used the FANCY SCALLOP HEARTS DIES and today I want to show another way of making shakers with this die.

I decided to make a cute love you card with Jawsome stamp set, I simply adore those sharks and fun sentiments.

How to make this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia Channel.

I don’t have any wavy pamel dies in my stash, so I used SIMPLE TRIMMINGS DIES to cut out the blue colored stripes and Ifoam mounted them on a dark blue card panel.

I stamped and colored some images from the JAWSOME Stamp set, I colored them with alcohol based markers.

Inside of my heart shaker I put some blue and white clay hearts from RAINBOW HEARTS – POLYMER CLAY EMBELLISHMENTS and SILVER FOIL CONFETTI.

I finished the underwater scene by adding a clear drops on a the card from CLEAR DROPS MIX TWO and CLEAR DROPS MIX ONE.

Thanks for stopping by!

Video. Double shaker card with a delicate vellum background

January 6, 2022 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Other, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone!

Galina with you today and I have a fun project to share wit you – it’s a double shaker Love you card. For sure, you can use techniques I shared today for any oacccasion cards. I made a sweet card using FANCY SCALLOP HEARTS DIES and ALOHA Stamp set.

How to make this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel.

I heat embossed a lot of small flowers from ALOHA Stamp set on a piece of vellum. I used fine detail white embossing powder from Ranger and melted it with a super hot heat gun, to avoid vellum warping.

I colored them with red Distress ink and a small blending brush. I applied ink on the back side. With this large vellum piece I created a full panel shaker card and put inside ROSE GOLD CONFETTI.

Using two dies from FANCY SCALLOP HEARTS DIES I cut out a heart frame and created another shaker with it. This time I added white clay hearts from RAINBOW HEARTS – POLYMER CLAY EMBELLISHMENTS.

To create a sentiment I used one of a die from LOVELY WORDS DIES.

I separated SCALLOP HEARTS COVER to be able cut out 3 different card backgrounds. And cut out hearts on my ink blended background, with a rectangle scallop die I cut out a card panel from a kraft cardstock.

Coloring the dry embossed cupcake on a birthday card with Distress Inks

December 2, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS

Hello everyone!

Galina with you today and I want to share another way of using your dies. Almost every die cutting machine on the market can emboss with dies. The only thing you may need is a silicon mat, some brands may provide it with a starter kit. I picked a cute CUPCAKE SHAKER DIE, it has a lot of cue and emboss lines, so it will be fun to emboss and color it.

How to make this card you can waatch here or on Studio Katia channel.

I cut out a small panel using a die from Dotted Patterns Set 1 from a watercolor paper. I embossed the cake on a watercolor paper and colored it with distress ink. I pressed the ink pad to the glass mat to have some ink to color with and I added a small amount of water over it.

After I dried the colored cupcake I put small dots of liquid glue on the top of the cupcake and covered it with a clay SPECKLED SPRINKLES .

To create a sentiment I used two stamps from the HAPPY CELEBRATIONS Stamp set. I heat emboss the sentiment on a piece of vellum with white fine detailed powder.

I finished the card my addien a few SPARKLING ROUND GEMS on the card.

Thanks for stopping by!

Merry And Bright Sparkly Rainbow Snowflake Card by Ilda

Merry And Bright Sparkly Rainbow Snowflake Card by Ilda

Hello again, Studio Katia Friends, Ilda Here!

Back again with another rainbow snowflake card. Can you tell I love rainbows and snowflakes?😆

This card features some of my favorites from Studio Katia. These Chunky Alphas are so fun especially when you want to create your own sentiments and these snowflakes stamps are soooo pretty!

To make this card, I first blended out the background using the distress oxide linked below. I then spritzed the background with water and picked them up with a paper towel. Next, I die-cut the panel using the frame from the Darling Ribbons and Frames Die set.

Once the ink was dry I used an anti-static tool to prep the surface for heat embossing. I then stamped the snowflakes onto the background and heat set the ink with white emb. pwd.

Next, I die cut all the letters to spell out the Merry & Bright using the Chunky Alphabet dies. To each letter, I added White Puff Emb. Powder, puffed with heat, and then added glue onto the buff and dipped the puffy part back into Sparkle Glitter for extra sparkly snow. It’s so hard to share the sparkle in these photos but in real life, they are so pretty!

I then added foam tape to the back of the letters and popped them onto the card front.

To finish the card, I glued some Icy Sparkle Crystals and added the random Snowflake Glitter to the background.

I hope you love this Merry And Bright Sparkly Rainbow Snowflake Card as much as I do and got inspired by it! Christmas cards don’t all have to be traditional IMO😏

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

Ilda 🌈😊

I cut out a tag from a gold matt cardstock using both dies from the Dotted Shaker Tag 2. I colored the tag with alcohol markers and distress inks to create a rust effect on it. Also I added a moss on it using a small amount of Flower Soft (kind of tiny plastic leaves) .

Hello everyone!

Galina with you today and let’s create pretty frames using stamps. I used the Snowflakes Stamp set to create frames for my two winter themed cards.

How to make those cards you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel.

I stamped the snowflakes on a white paper using different dye inks, how to use Distress Oxide for multicoloring stamping you can find HERE.

I cut out stamped images with the coordinating dies. Also, I cut out a round piece using a die fromSIMPLE ROUND TAG. I used this round die cut as a guid to create a “wreath” around it.

I used the same die from SIMPLE ROUND TAG to cut out a round opening in the stamped snowflakes to create a nice frame. I stamped a small sentiment inside using a stamp from Snowflakes stamp set and Versafine Black ink.

To create a card background for both of my cards I applied grey and light brown distress inks through the large Snowflake Stencil on a white card base.

I embellished the card with a few IRIDESCENT CRYSTALS.
