Happy Pawlidays with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello crafters! Olga Moss is here. For today I made a Happy Pawlidays card. I played with three stamp sets from the last release called HAPPY PAWLIDAYS, SNOWFLAKES and LOTS OF GIFTS TRIMMINGS. So when I saw these sets I thought it was perfect to combine them together. Therefore, I created the atmosphere of a festive new year’s room. Where the walls are decorated with snowflakes, prepared a lot of gifts, and as decorations hang flags with the image of the owners of this room. Everything is exactly the same as we do, isn’t it?

 

First I prepared the background. I stamped 1 of 2 borders with gifts or as we like to call them trimmings from the LOTS OF GIFTS TRIMMINGS stamp set. I also duplicated the image on the masking paper, so I could cut it out and use it as a cover. Then I created an ink blended background with green ink, moving smoothly from dark to light. I also stamped a lot of snowflakes on the top using a SNOWFLAKES stamp set. To add more texture I splattered background with white gouache.

 

Then I stamped our furry friends from the HAPPY PAWLIDAYS stamp set. And I cut out five faces in the shape of flags using mini banners from the SLIDER TAG DIE.

Next was the time to prepare a fun part of the card. I removed the masking paper from the images in the background and colored them. I also colored the banners with Copic markers. I added my banners in the background with foam tape  and stitched them with a white cord. Next I white heat embossed sentiment “Happy Pawlidays”.

To decorate the card I put glue on the bottom and sprinkled with FROST GLITTER.

More Rainbow Christmas Inspiration!

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today sharing some more rainbow holiday inspiration! I love non-traditional holiday color combinations, and this rainbow color combo might be one of my favorite yet! I paired the Snow-fetti Stencil and the Lots of Gifts Trimmings stamp set to create this super colorful holiday card. Let’s get started with the details!

I began by inking up the Snow-fetti Stencil using the Blender Brushes to with some pink, purple, aqua, and lime inks on a white A2 background panel. I love how the Blender Brushes create beautiful movement between the different colors to create a seamless blend!

Next, I stamped the Lots of Gifts Trimmings on some more white cardstock using Copic-friendly black ink. I then colored the gifts using a rainbow of Copic markers. I fussy cut the final colored product using sharp scissors, then adhered it to a panel of glitter cardstock, fussy cutting around the edges of that to create a glittery edge to the entire image.

I adhered the gifts to the stenciled panel using foam adhesive, finally adding a greeting from the Happy Pawlidays die set, which I cut from some black cardstock to make it stand out.

Well, that’s all for my project today! I hope you’ve enjoyed this super colorful holiday card. Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a marvelous weekend!

Simple Santa card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Winter Holidays

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I made a cute, but super simple card for you! Take a look:

These days I am mostly making Christmas cards and on today’s card I decided to leave Santa as the focus element of the card. I stamped him out from the Friends of winter stamp set and I felt like having him standing on a pile of gifts would make a cute scene, so I stamped the Gifts border from Lots of gifts trimmings stamp set.

I colored everything using alcohol markers. Since I wanted to have the Santa as a main element, I colored all the gifts gray and Santa in it’s traditional colors.

Next, I heat embossed the sentiment that reads ‘Merry Christmas’ from the Happy pawlidays set and trimmer it down to a nice black banner.

I glued everything on a square cardbase using Studio Katia glue and double sided foam tape.

Thank you so much for joining me!

Poinsettia Shaker Card with Isha Gupta

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a card using watercolor markers and a watercolor stencil technique.

I started by creating the background stencil layer. I dabbed green and teal distress oxide ink to the stencil, spritz it with water and put it on a watercolor mat layer color side down. Remove the stencil slowly and this leaves a subtle and beautiful faux watercolor look. Let this piece dry and then I die-cut it using the Elegant Scallop Oval die. Flick some gold paint to it.

Adhere the negative piece of the oval to the cardbase. I then adhere a piece of vellum to the back side of the mat layer to create a shaker. Put some some confelli and glitter on top of the negative piece, adhere glue all around the mat layer and adhere it to the cardbase.

Stamp and emboss the images using WOW! gold embossing powder. I colored them using Zig watercolor pens. Let it dry and then die-cut it. Flick a bit of white paint.

Adhere the images. I then die-cut the word “MERRY” and embossed it using WOW! Metallic Gold Rich Ultra High powder. This give it a raised 3D effect. Adhere the word and the sentiment to the card.

Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day!

Christmas Card with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello, friends!

Today I’m sharing a simple Christmas card featuring just a bit of stencilling, light blending and heat embossing. This card use our brand new products.

I used a stunning Floral Snowflake Stencil. This is one of the most beautiful designs I’ve ever seen. I think I’ll be using this stencil a lot this year for my Holiday cards and probably even in the years to come. It’s just that pretty.

I started to work on this card by making background. And it’s so simple! I just shaded triangle in dark green ink onto the light green cardstock. That is the silhouette of a Christmas tree turned out. Next I applied white paste through the stencil in different places onto my panel. For quick drying paste I used a hair dryer. lol

Then I did a sentiment panel. For this I used new Slider Tag Die.  But I dye cut only one tag from the red cardstock. Here I heat embossed the sentiments using GIFT TAG GREETINGS: WINTER stamp set.

I adhered the background panel to A2 white card base, I foam mounted the sentiment panel over it and tied the string with the pompoms on the tag. Also to embellish the card I used VINTAGE SHIMMER PEARLS. There are very few of them, only two, but it is there and adds a nice finishing touch to the card.

I hope you will give this idea a try. Have fun!

Cute and simple Christmas card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Winter Holidays

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts here with you today and what is a better way to start a week than with cute Christmas card?

Take a look at what I created:

Christmas is aproaching with lightning speed, so I must admit that my card are getting simpler and simpler each week in order to get all of them done.

I started making this card by coloring a deer from Friends of winter stamp set and three trees from Holiday village set. I decided to go with a alcohol markers as a coloring medium, since I love the clean look it gives.

Next, I used a Light ray stencil in the top left corner to get a bold background. I used distress oxide in Broken china first on the stencil and then I removed the stencil and used new Studio Katia brushes to add some light blue next to the rays.

The only thing missing on this card was a sentiment, so I stamped ‘Merry Christmas’ from Gift tag greetings: Winter. I wanted a clean look, so I used white paper and black ink.

I glued everything together using double-sided foam tape and Studio Katia glue and the card was finished!

Thank you so much for joining me!

CAS Happy Holidays Card by Ilda

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Winter Holidays

Well hello again friends, Ilda here!

Today I have the perfect card to mass-produce for the Holidays! It was one of those cards that came together so easily and so quickly that I have to share with you my process.

To start I die cut a piece of green and red cardstock out using the HALF STRIPED COVER. I then flipped over the die-cut green layer and glued it to the red layer. Because you will be seeing the underside of the die-cut piece, make sure your cutting plates are new or smooth, or you can use a piece of cardstock underneath to avoid the transfer of impressions onto the paper.

I then glued the panel onto the card base.

Next, I stamped out the Happy Holidays stamp from the GIFT TAG GREETINGS:WINTER onto black cardstock and then white heat embossed the letters, trimmed the piece out and then added to the center of the card front.

To finish off the card and to make it look like a present, I added the die-cut bow from the ELEGANT SCALLOP OVAL die set and glued an ICY SPARKLE CRYSTAL to the bow.

Thank you for stopping by, hope you enjoyed this quick and easy tutorial.

Until next time… Happy Crafting!

Ilda

B&W Christmas Cards featuring Autumn Leaves Stencil

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! Liliuska here and I am very excited to share the cards I made for today’s post. Few weekends ago I was playing with some of the new Studio Katia products and my plan was to make something non-traditional for Christmas cards. Then, as I was browsing through the stencils, Autumn Leaves Stencil caught my eye… I started with a purple and gold palette – which is a bonus card at the end of this post. Next, I decided to make black and white Christmas cards, and I love the result more than I could’ve expected.

I started working with two black panels. I covered both in white texture paste through Autumn Leaves Stencil, removed the stencil and while the paste was still wet I generously poured Sparkle Glitter over one panel first, then the other. I know how messy glitter can be, but I have in my stash an old cloth called ‘glitter magnet’ and always use it when working with glitter. There are many ways these days to keep the glitter from spreading everywhere, so make sure to be prepared. I set both panels aside to dry and started working on other details for the cards.

I knew I will make one vertical and one horizontal card (or portrait and landscape orientation). For the horizontal, I wanted to add poinsettias from Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set embossed on vellum with white embossing powder. I didn’t want to cover too much of that gorgeous background, so my “add-ons” had to be light and airy. Well, at least some of them.

After heat embossing poinsettia flowers and some leaves on a 32 lbs vellum, I die cut them out with Coordinating Dies. Next, using a smaller frame dies from Dotted Patterns Set 2 I die cut out a frame for the sentiment out of black cardstock. I picked one of the sentiments from Poinsettia Trimmings stamp set and heat embossed it with white embossing powder.

Once my textured panel was dry, I decided to make it a bit smaller by die cutting it out with a large frame die from Dotted Patterns Set 3. I foam mounted it onto a white card base, gluing underneath the panel a piece of beautiful silver lace fabric, which a friend of mine brought for me from her trip to France. Next, I foam mounted the sentiment panel at the bottom of the card, gluing underneath the poinsettias and two leaves. As a final touch I added some Arctic Breeze Pearls into the flower centres, in the spot where I attached the leaves and on the sentiment banner with the help of some Studio Katia GLUE and Jewel Picker Tool.

Once my panel for the second card was dry I used a large frame die from Darling Ribbon & Frames to die cut it out and give a nice finished border, since it would be covering the card base completely. I heat embossed Snowflakes images onto the same 32 lbs vellum using white embossing powder and die cut them out with Coordinating Dies.

For the sentiment I die cut out a banner using small die from Half Striped Cover Die set out of black cardstock. I stamped the sentiment from Poinsettia Border stamp set using clear embossing ink and white embossing powder. I foam mounted the banner onto a card, gluing snowflakes underneath. I coloured the banner with clear Wink of Stella and covered it with Nuvo Crystal Glaze.

 

For the third card I grabbed a piece of purple shimmer cardstock. I ink blended the background through Autumn Leaves Stencil using Milled Lavender Oxide Ink and Studio Katia Ink Blender Brush. I used a large frame die from Darling Ribbon & Frames to die cut out a panel once the ink was dry.

Next, I heat embossed poinsettias from Merry Poinsettia stamp set with gold embossing powder. To colour the images I used different shades of purple Oxide Inks and Studio Katia Ink Blender Brush. I blended darker shades from centre out and lighter shades from the tips of the petals towards the centres of the flowers. I die cut out the flowers with Coordinating Dies.

I used largest die from Dotted Patterns Set 2 to die cut out three thin frames out of purple cardstock and one thin frame out of golden glitter cardstock. I glued all the frames together using Studio Katia GLUE. This gave me a nice sturdy frame, which I adhered onto the ink blended panel.

Using the same Dotted Patterns Set 2 I cut out a panel out of 32 lbs vellum, so it would perfectly fit inside the golden frame. I stamped the sentiment from Poinsettia Border stamp set onto the vellum panel and adhered it inside golden frame adding glue under the sentiment and the spot where I was planning to adhere flowers, so that the glue wouldn’t show anywhere and not ruin the card. I foam mounted the flowers to the left from the sentiment. As a final touch I added some Gold Foil Pearls into the flower centres and above the sentiment with the help of Studio Katia GLUE and Jewel Picker Tool.

Hope you enjoyed all the inspiration I prepared for you today. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful and inspiring day!
