Shark-tastic sunset card with Galina

April 23, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Galina and I’m ready to share with you my new card. I created a romantic card with sunset and two jawsome sharks 🙂

I cut out two white card panels. On first one I applied blue and yellow distress inks and Nuvo glitter paste through the Wave Stencil to create a real ocean :). To create yellow sunset I applied dark yellow color through the Underwater Sun Rays stencil. Inside of the second card panel I cut out a rectangle window using Window die.

I adhere card panel onto card base using foam adhesive. To embelish my card I decied to use few images from Jawsome Stamp set. I stamped deck and leaves with Memento black ink and colored my images with Copic markers.

At last, I stamped a sentiment under the window with ocean. I used sentiment stamp from Jawsome stamp set.

I hope you like this shiny card and will try to make your own!

Have a great day!

Bold, Red, Japanese Peony with Erum

April 22, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi! Erum here today with a floral card featuring the Japanese Peony Stamp and Large Polka Stencil.

I started by stamping the large peony with alcohol marker proof ink. Next, I used Artist Markers to colour the image.

I also used a white gel pen to add detail to the flower center and it looks really pretty in person.

For my card front, I used the Large Polka Stencil and a mini blending brush to add ombre inking through the stencil with Black Soot distress ink.

To finish, I adhered the flower with foam tape and popped a sentiment label.

I hope you like my card, I love how it turned out!

Thank you for stopping by.

Hello everyone! It’s Kristina here with my last post for Studio Katia! What an amazing time I’ve been working with such a great company, products and talented people. Without a doubt, I am grateful for every opportunity I have had in Studio Katia design team!

I made a clean and simple fun card for my today’s post. I started by blended some orange inks onto white panel and spalttered it with white paint. Once my background was done, I stamped the sentiment with clear embossing inks and gold heat embossed. Next, I die cut three hearts out of white cardstock using Shaker Heart die set.

I adhered hearts onto my panel with liquid glue and trimmed the edges using my scissors and my card is complete!

Here are my favorites cards that I made for Studio katia this year.

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great weekend!

Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today sharing a pretty in pink card with lots of texture and color. It finally feels like spring here in the Midwest, so I thought I’d celebrate with some pretty pink flowers! Let’s get started with the details.

I began by stamping and die cutting the blooms from You’re So Sweet using Copic-friendly black ink onto some white card stock, then colored it with my Copic markers and die cut them.

On the white A2 card base, I used the Large Polka Stencil and some pretty pink ink to add a bit of pattern on the background. I die cut a vellum oval using the Nested Ovals dies, as well as a black Thank You die cut using the Mini Thank You dies. I arranged the flowers over the oval, then adhered them to the oval and added some foam adhesive behind them, hiding the adhesive behind the die cuts.

After I’d added all of the die cuts to the card front, I added some beautiful Cupid’s Kiss Crystals to add some sparkle, and a bit of Glossy Accents to the die cut sentiment to make it stand out even more.

Well, that’s all for me today! I hope you’re having an awesome week. Thanks for stopping by!

Cactus Hugs with Laura

April 15, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with a birthday card I created with the Cactus Hugs stamp set – there is also a video tutorial showing the card making process at the end of this post, I hope you’ll enjoy it!

For today’s card I thought it would be fun to use one of the sentiments in the stamp set to create a background. Creating your own patterned paper is a really great way to stretch your supplies and, as today’s card shows, you can use not only images, but sayings too! So, as a first step, I die cut some Neenah Desert Storm cardstock with the Scallop Hearts Cover die. I then die cut an opening with one of the dies in the Scallop Square set and used Memento Dew Drops in Rich Cocoa to stamp the word hugs all over the panel.

I set that aside and started working on my images. I stamped them with hybrid black ink on Neenah Solar White 110 lb cardstock and colored them with Spectrum Noir Markers. Once I was done coloring, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

I created a quick background for the window on my card using Distress Oxide in Broken China and the Ink smooshing technique. I then heat embossed the sentiment on a strip of black cardstock using white embossing powder.

I glued everything to a white panel that I die cut with the Darling Ribbon & Frames dies and added a few sequins from the Majestic Fusion Mix. I mounted everything on a top-folding A2 card base and that finished off my card.

As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, I uploaded a video showing how to create this quick birthday card with a custom background using the Cactus Hugs stamp set. You can watch it down below or directly on the Studio Katia channel!

And that’s it for today! I really hope you liked the card and enjoyed the video! Thank you all so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Guest Designer | Floral Wreath with Svitlana

April 13, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Guest Designer

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Svitlana here. I’m so excited to guest design on Studio Katia blog today!

I want to share with you an idea for a Mother’s Day card (because it’s THAT season).

I fell in love with the new Floral Wreath Stamp Set and wanted to put it to use as soon as I got it.

I started by stamping the wreath onto a Neenah Solar White Cardstock panel using a COPIC-friendly ink. I was using my mini MISTI tool for stamping and after making the impression I left the stamp mounted to its lid.

Then I colored the wreath with COPICs markers. I choose blue and gray color scheme for my coloring. It’s not realistic, but I think it looks very cool.

When I finished coloring I placed the panel back into the MISTI and stamped again with the black ink. I did it to make the outlines darker and crisper.

Next I die-cut a circle out of the wreath and fussy cut it using my scissors.

I make a vertical side folding A2 card out of a Neenah Solar White Cardstock and blended the Salty Ocean Oxide Ink onto it covering the whole surface. Next I placed the Grid Stencil on top and blended the Salty Ocean Distress Ink through it. Using the same colors of both oxide and distress inks I achieved the perfect match of blended layers.

To add some interest to the background I added some water splatters, blotted them and then added splatters of white and black sprays. Next I foam mounted the wreath onto the card.

For the sentiment I die-cut two words out of white using the dies from the Best Ever Die Set. And I white embossed a word MOM on black using a stamp from the Best Ever Stamp Set. After white embossing I cut it out kind of following the word shape, I didn’t feel like having just a simple stripe with sharp corners.

I popped all the elements of the sentiment onto the card and finished it off by adhering several Gray Clouds Crystals.

I hope you like this idea and will give it a try. I’m a big lover of blue color, but this design can be implemented in any other color wave.

Have a wonderful day!

Floral Wreath Shaker Card with Liliuska

April 12, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Shaker Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello Everyone! Liliuska here and today I’d have a shaker card to share with you. I made it using gorgeous FLORAL WREATH stamp set.

I started with stamping the wreath image with a very light ink, as I wanted to avoid black lines for this card. I coloured the image with coloured pencils and fussy cut it with scissors.

I die cut out a panel out of white cardstock using largest die from DARLING RIBBON & FRAMES and ran it through my die cutting machine making with an embossing mat and a BRUSH STROKE WAVES STENCIL to do dry embossing. I like that it added just a little bit of texture to my card and didn’t overwhelm the background, as I wanted to keep the focus on the coloured image.

To make a shaker I needed to cut out a window in the wreath image and was pleased to discover that a circle die from DOTTED PATTERNS SET 1 matches perfectly!

Next, I used Studio Katia GLUE to adhere acetate to the back of the wreath image. I have been using it for shakers lately and love how well it adheres acetate to the paper. I filled the shaker with GOLD FOIL CONFETTI and GOLD CRYSTALS. I used GOLD FOIL CONFETTI to embellished my card a little as well.

All I needed now was a sentiment. I die cut it out of white and gold glitter cardstock and glued together a little off so that the white was visible under the gold and would give the word thanks a little bit of a shadow. I adhered the sentiment on top of the shaker window using Studio Katia GLUE, it is my favourite liquid glue!

Hope you enjoyed my card today. Have a wonderful weekend!

Thinking Of You with Tracy

April 11, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today sharing my latest card I created using products from the latest release.

When I first saw the European Window die I instantly loved it, mainly because of the ability to add a frame around it, I knew I had to use it along with the pretty Potted Plants Stamp set.

I actually colored all the images from the set but decided to use this one instead. For the background I added some patterned paper to look like wallpaper.

I picked a card stock that went with the patterned paper for the window frame to die the whole piece together, I was actually surprised by how non fiddly this die was, I have had similar that I just dont use because they are a nightmare, but this really wasnt the case with this one, I also love you have the windows open or closed.

I wanted a very suble brick effect on the front piece of the card so I used the Square Brick Stencil along with Distress Oxide in Iced Spruce, I made sure I blotted most of the ink off so it was a really subtle look.

To finish the card off I added a sentiment from the Potted Plants Stamp Set.

I am really happy with how this card turned out, I wanted it to a be a card you could send to anyone and I think you could.

Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you all have a great day.

Happy crafting!

You’re So Sweet Watercolour Card with Erum

April 10, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hello!

I have a watercolour card to share today featuring the You’re So Sweet Stamp Set.

I heat embossed the images in white on watercolour cardstock. I used watercolour brush markers to colour the images and also the background.

First, I applied a colour wash of one colour on the image and then let it dry a bit. Then I went in again to add more detail by adding concentrated pigment. This is easy watercolouring. Just by adding a darker pigment, you end up with good detail on the image.

For the background, I just used water and diluted pigment and added it as stippling. Since I had a lot of water on my brush, the stippling was more splotchy than dotted.

Once the watercolour was dry, I added fine black paint splatters and stamped the sentiment.

To finish, I adhered several clear dots.

That is all from my side today, I hope you liked my card!
