Alcohol Ink and Foiling Technique by Isha Gupta

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS

Hello everyone! Isha here with you today with a summer theme card. I have created an alcohol pearl ink background and then added some foiling accent using one of the stencils. I am waiting for summer to come hence I used the sweet images from “Under the Sea” stamp set, which I colored in using the no-line copic coloring technique.

I started by creating my technique layer, for which I added alcohol pearl inks to yupo paper. I actually swiped the colors across the paper and let it dry. The colors I used are (Villainous, Deception, Sublime, Enchanted, Splendor, Sail Boat Blue). Now, I added some of the Deco transfer gel through the Mini Arcs stencil and let it dry for a few hours or until the gel turns transparent and tacky. I then used Snowy White Fab foil by WOW! Embossing Powder, put on top of the stenciled area (mat side down) and ran it through my laminator. Remove the foil and we get this beautiful 3dimensional texture with the subtle pearl effect from the alcohol pearl layer.

Stamp the images using a very light grey ink onto a copic friendly paper. Draw the eyes using copic multi-liner pen. Color in the images and die-cut them using the coordinating dies. Adhere to the layer using 3D foam tape and apply clear shimmer pen from Nuvo.

Stamp and emboss the sentiment. Adhere the panel to a white cardbase. Adhere the sentiment stripe. To finish, add some Icy Sparkle Crystals (one of my favourites). Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day!

Birthday shaker with Tracey

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards

Hi there it’s Tracey back here today with a shaker card featuring the Bearing Gifts stamp set.

I started off by stenciling the Studio Katia Bubbles stencil on to the front of my card base using Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink using the Studio Katia Blending Brushes. I blended the colour over the stencil the darkest in the centre getting lighter out near the edges.

I used the Dotted Patterns Set 4 die for my shaker on this card. Do you ever difficulty getting your shaker panel perfectly lined up on your card front? I tried a different method when building the shaker component on my card today. I die cut two of the Dotted Patterns Set 4 die and used Studio Katia glue to stick one down to my card exactly where I wanted my shaker to be. Then using it as a guide I built my shaker walls up using two layers of Studio Katia Foam Tape. I used my embossing buddy were within the walls of my shaker. I always seem to have static problems. I filled my shaker with Summer Fusion sequins, Crystal Stars and Iridescent Crystals.

The Studio Katia Acetate sheets are 6″ x 6″, perfect weight and crystal clear. I cut a piece to fit behind the shaker opening then I removed the baker on the foam tape and adhered the acetate on the top onto the shaker. Then I added my white top shaker piece over the acetate and it lined up perfectly because I could see where I was putting it.

I stamped Kobi bear and three balloons from the Bearing Gifts stamp set with Copic friendly ink. I cut the images out with the co-ordinating Bearing Gifts die set after I did some pretty simple one shade colouring with Copic makers. The balloons were adhered directly to the shaker and then Kobi bear and all the parcels on top with foam with foam tape.

I absolutely love my Studio Katia Halftone Lines cover die it is so clever. It cuts 13 strips of cardstock at one time in different widths but all are 5 1/2″ tall. Perfect to use for sentiment strips or they can be used to create a fun background. I stamped and white embossed the Happy Birthday sentiment from the Bearing Gifts stamp set onto a black strip created with the Halftone Lines cover die. I trimmed it down and added it to the card with one layer of foam tap.

TIME SAVING TIP: I used the Halftone Lines cover die to cut one panel of white and one of black giving me 13 sentiment strips in each colour. I just popped them in the package with the die so I have some all ready to go when I am creating cards.

Thank you so much for stopping in today to create with me. Hope you are staying well and have a great week ahead.

Hello Cards with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards

Hello, friends! This is Olga Moss. Sometimes I like to make die cut cards, without using any stamps. I think it’s a different kind of magic. And often, it reminds me of putting together a puzzle.

I wanted to make mini round cards with dies only for today’s post. And Studio Katia has so many beautiful dies for these kinds of experiments!

Here I used HALFTONE DOTS CIRCLE DIES.

As you can see in the photo, all the circles are made three-dimensional. I simply adhered couple circles together and then inlaid them into larger die cut. The process of creating this card is a little intricate and takes a bit of time, but this spectacular look is definitely worth the effort.

To create the sentiment, I used a word hello from the FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES. For embellishments I used IRIDESCENT BUBBLES.

For this type of cards all you need is love of paper and a good mood!

Let’s Shell-Ebrate with Dana

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m sharing a birthday shaker card with you today.

To start, I die cut square panel from bristol paper using Nested Squares. Then, I ink blended it slightly with Distress Oxide Inks using Ink Blender Brushes. Detailed colors are Cracked Pistachio, Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feathers. I then stenciled square panel again with same Distress Oxide Inks using Brush Stroke Waves Stencil.

Next, I created a seashell shaker window by die cutting with Seashell Shaker. I die cut seashell one more time from gold card stock as well. I mounted outline pieces of seashell, after I adhered Acetate Sheet.

I then mixed embellishments for shaker. I used Rainbow Loops, Rainbow Hearts, Speckled Sprinkles, Silver Fever Confetti. With these lovelies, I finished off my shaker using foam tape.

For sentiment, I silver heat embossed Shell-Ebration and die cut it using Best Ever Dies. As a final touch, I adhered crystals here and there as shown in the picture.

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

Simple Happy BEE-Day Shaker Card

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Shaker Cards

Hello, my Friends and Happy Monday!

Today I am sharing a super simple shaker card that could be used for any occasion depending on the sentiment you chose, this one will be for someone’s BEE-day!

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I stamped out the cute little bee from the HONEY BEES stamp set, colored it using Copic Markers, and then die cut it using the HONEY BEES coordinating dies.

Next, I stamped out the yellow pattern on the background using yellow ink and the ZIG ZAG STRIPES background stamp. I then die cut the panel using the outer frame from the SCALLOP HONEYCOMB COVER and I also die cut the window for the shaker area using the HONEYCOMB SHAKER. To the back of the panel, I glued a piece of ACETATE. 

I then ran a piece of black cardstock through the die cut machine using the HONEYCOMB SHAKER and used the honeycomb shape to glue on the top of the acetate window.

With the background panel flipped onto its front, I added FOAM TAPE around the perimeter of the shaker window and then sprinkled my shaker bits which included GOLD FEVER  CONFETTI and SPARKLING HEARTS CONF. GLITTER inside the well. To close in the shaker area I used a piece of yellow cardstock and then attached the finished panel to an A2 top fold card front.

To finish the card off, I added a sentiment strip from the PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES that I stamped with a sentiment from the HONEY BEE stamp set and then popped up the cute be in the corner. 

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

Honey Bees Hi with Tracey

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards, Shaker Cards

Hi there it’s Tracey back again today. My lilac bushing are fully blooming right now and with that the honey bees are back too! Today I have a fun shaker card using the Scallop Honeycomb Cover die along with the gang from the Honey Bees stamp set!

To create the top panel of the shaker I blended Squeezed Lemonade, Wild Honey and a bit of Spiced Marmelade Distress Oxide ink on to a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I flicked some water over the panel and picked up the excess with a paper towel. Then I splattered a bit of yellow gold metallic watercolour over the panel and set it aside to dry. Once it was dry I adhered a piece of Studio Katia Clear Acetate on the backside of the panel.

To create the bottom of the shaker which is the inside of the honeycomb I lightly blended another panel with the same Distress Oxide inks and then I placed the Honeycomb stencil over the panel and blended more of the inks over the stencil. Then I picked up some water with a clean foam blender and dabbed off the excess on a paper towel and pounced it over the stencil. I finished by absorbing the remaining water off the stencil with paper towel.

Once dry I adhered this to my card base and then I created the walls of my shaker using two layers of Studio Katia foam tape. I filled the shaker with a combination of Gold Fever Confetti and Gold Fever Glitter. I adhered the top panel of the shaker over the shaker well sealing the contents inside the honeycomb. The images from the Honey Bees stamp set were stamped and die cut with the Honey Bees die set. Then they were coloured with Copic markers and their wings were highlighted with clear Wink of Stella.

One of the hexagons from the die cute Honeycomb cover was stamped with the word hi from the Honey Bees stamp set and then placed over one of the empty hexagons with foam tape. “Buzzing by the say…” was stamped and die cut using one the Peony Trimmings die set.

Thank you so much for stopping in today and I hope that I have inspired you to make a shaker. They are always so fun to giveaway, stay safe!

Video. Simple diecutting – love you card

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hello, it’s Galina with you today. Everyone who love diecutting will love this cute and simple card. For this card I used my favorite dies – FANCY SCALLOP HEARTS set and MINI POLKA DOTS COVER DIE. In the video below I’ll share some tips and how I made this card.

Also, for this card I used adorable plant stamps and solid sentiment stamps. You can create such card for any occasion just pick the right sentiment from the LABEL MESSAGES stamp set.

I stamped two images on the white paper with Memento black ink. I colored my plants with a few Copic markers. I decided to keep this card in soft tones. So, for the heart background I picked light shade of orange and pink distress ink – Dried Marigold and Spun Sugar. I applied inks on the white cardstock with a Blender Brushes from studio Katia, the blender brush gives a softer ink appearance.

Using Mini polka dot die I cut out a white panel. To create a colorful dots under it, I cut out one more panel from a bright pink cardstock. If you want to create multicolored dots take different colors of cardstock, or apply inks on the card base before adhering the polka dot panel.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

You’re Sweet Card with Isha Gupta

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Other

Hello everyone! Isha here with a floral card. I enhanced the soft image with a rainbow alcohol pearl background.  

 

I started by creating a panel using Tim Holtz alcohol pearl inks. I simply took the colors (Villainous, Deception, Sublime, Enchanted, Splendor, Sail Boat Blue) in rainbow order and applied the ink to a yupo paper in swiping motion and then dabbing movement. Once I was happy with the result, I let this dry. Make a salmon pink cardbase. Die-cut a white cardstock layer using the Loops cover die. Adhere the alcohol pearl panel behind it. Stamp the sweet pea from the You’re So Sweet stamp, add a touch of color using zig clean color marker and die-cut it.  

Die-cut the banner using the die from Best Ever die-set. I cut it once in white and once in the cardbase color. Stamp sentiment. Adhere the pink layer to the white by slightly offsetting it. Adhere the images and the banner. To finish, I applied a bit of spectrum noir clear sparkle pen to the florals. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day!

Hello Sunshine Stitched Friendship Card by Ilda

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards, Other

Hello and Happy Friday my Friends!

Today’s card was inspired by the weather and the gorgeous sunny days we have had recently. Plus since traveling is out of the question at least I can daydream about being in the tropics somewhere.


CARD DETAILS

To begin, I started by die cutting the background using the MINI POLKA DOTS COVER DIE and then just stitched this star-like pattern on to it. I thought this was a great way to stretch out the use of this cover die.

Next, I stamped out and die cut the stamps from the ALOHA set and colored them in using Copic markers. 

I then arranged the flowers and popped up using foam tape on to the stitched background that I had glued on top of the card base.

I then added the sentiments on the card to complete the design. The script hello comes from the YOU’RE SO RANUNCULUS DIES that I stacked and glued together and the sunshine comes from the ALOHA stamp set that I stamped onto a banner from the BEST EVER DIES set.

To finish off the card I added some PRISMATIC SKY PEARLS to the background and added some shine by painting the flowers using Liquid Pixie Dust and also adding glossy accents.

I hope this Hello Sunshine Stitched Friendship Card inspired you today. Thank you all so much for stopping by!

Summer Shaker Card with Dana

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

It’s Dana here. It’s been a while since I made a kind of interactive card and I’m so excited to share this shaker card with you today.

To start, I made an A2 sized panel by die cutting using Darling Ribbon & Frames. I die cut 3 windows with Dotted Patterns Set 2 as well. I then took an A2 sized bristol paper and ink blended it with Distress Oxide Inks using Ink Blender Brushes. I splattered clear water by fingers and let them dried.

I stamped images using Mermaid For Each Other, Under The Sea and Sweet Latte stamp sets onto bristol paper.

I watercolored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers using water brush. After they dried, I die cut them using each of Coordinating Dies.

Next, I began create 3 shakers. I adhered Acetate Sheets under window panel using double-sided tape. I also mounted foam tape and filled each sections with mixed embellishment. I used Sky Blue Crystals, Poseidon Crystals, Icy Sparkle Crystals and 3M Crystal Clear. I then peeled off protective tapes and put down ink blended panel on it.

I mounted all pieces where I wanted them and stamped a sentiment from Sweet Latte in black as shown in the picture. As a final touch, I gave some highlight to images using white gel pen.

Thank you so much for joining me today. I hope you stop by 2020 Spring/Summer Coffee Lovers Blog Hop to get more caffeinated inspiration. Happy crafting!
