June 24, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Other

Hello everyone!

I have a fun project to share with you. I was playing with Distress Oxide inks, but any type of ink will work with this technique. For my card I used the You’re so Sweet Stamp set, Loops Panel Die, Best Ever Die set and stamp.

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

Card Details

On a white A2 card panel I applied distress oxide inks: Mermaid Lagoon, Cracked Pistachio, Scattered Straw, Spun Sugar, Worn Lipstick.I cut out a panel with a circle called Loops Panel die and I inlaid circles in opposite directions.

I cut out a silver frame using a frame die from a Loop set.I Stamped 3 flowers from You’re so Sweet Stamp set and I colored them with Copic markers.

I cut out sentiment using die from Best ever Set from white and black mirror cardstock. I heat embossed a second part of the sentiment on a black cardstock.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

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.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

No line coloring fluffy squad

June 10, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards, Other

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina! Today I want to share with you some no-line coloring tips and a cute card for someone awesome 🙂 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 a 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.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

Iridescent bubbles frame

June 3, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hello everyone and thanks for joining me. I want to show how I made a card inspired by beautiful 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 🙂

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

https://youtu.be/uAbwLZqJQjo

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.

Thanks for stopping by!

It’s Galina with you today and I’m sharing a pretty shaker card idea. This card design can be used for creating wedding or anniversary cards or just for a simple hello card.

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 flowers on both sides of the white panel using light brown ink and FLOURISHING NOTE stamp set.

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.

Valentine Hugs

January 25, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Happy Monday, crafty friends! Today, I’m sharing the Valentine’s Day card I made for my son. I combined the Cactus Hugs and Potted Plants stamp and die sets, with the Stitch Borders dies.

The four cacti and the sentiment are from the Cactus Hugs stamp set. The flowers at the top right and the little hearts are from the Potted Plants stamp set.

I love customizing all of the little pots with the various faces. Since I created a grid on this card design, it was easy to heat emboss and watercolour them using the same distress inks.

I used the largest of the Stitch Borders dies to create the top panel and smooshed the same two colours I used to colour the pots with shimmer spritz to make it ultra sparkly. Then I used the tool ‘n’ one to remove some of the holes and adhered it to coloured cardstock to bring out the blue in the pots.

I repeated the sentiment, leaving a space to pop up the tiny hearts from the Potted Plants stamp set. Then I added an assortment of Seafoam Pearls with liquid glue and an embellishment wand.

Please visit me on my blog, Instagram and YouTube channel for more inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Watercolor Valentine’s Day Card with Dana

January 21, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hello, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m back with my first card of 2021. Many of things are still not good, but I hope everything goes well in new year to all of you. Today, I have a lovely card for Valentine’s Day and let’s get started!

To begin, I die cut white card stock using SCALLOP HEARTS COVER. I die cut it again with Fancy Scallop Hearts Dies. I then took a CHUNKY ALPHABET set and die cut ‘LOVE’ and small tag from red card stock.

Next, I stamped KIND BOUQUET in black onto cold pressed watercolor paper. I watercolored bouquet using Distress Inks and let it dried. I then colored again with Copic markers for pop the images and I love how it turned out. As a last touch of coloring, I added white dots using white gel pen and Nuvo crystal drop.

I mounted watercolor panel onto A2 sized baby pink card stock and popped up scalloped one using foam tape. Then, I arranged alphabets using glue.

To finish, I white heat embossed a sentiment from GIFT TAG GREETINGS: VALENTINES.

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

xoxo,

Dana
