Poinsettia on vellum with Kaja

November 25, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I created a card with a technique I haven’t used in a while. Can you guess which one?

Take a look:

I started making this card by stamping out the Poinsettia trimmings stamp on a piece of vellum. Since vellum doesn’t really absorb the ink and it takes for ever to dry, I put some clear embossing powder over the stamped image and heat set it. I made sure that I was using a very thick vellum that doesn’t worp a lot when being heat set.

After preparing the stamped image, I started coloring it on the back side of the vellum. You could do it on the either side, but I wanted to have a really soft colors so I decided to color on the back. I used two shades of red and a green alcohol markers to do so. Once the image was colored in, I decided to trim around it using my scissors. I felt like something was missing, so I added some white gel pen details which make the finished image more interesting.

Next, I put a piece of dark red cardstock on the background on which I draw a white edge using a white gel pen. I then glued the vellom piece on to the background using liquid glue. Since there is many things going on, you can bearly see the glue that I used. My only recomendation here would be to make sure that you are putting the glue directly over the colored part, since the liquid glue applied directly on the clear vellum can show quite a lot.

The last thing I added was the sentiment and this time I went with a simple ‘Merry Christmas’. I used the Chunky alphabet dies for the word ‘Merry’ and then I embossed the word ‘Christmas’ from the Poinsettia trimmings stamp set directly into the background using white embossing powder. I used white color for both words to ensure enough contrast on my card.

I then glued everything together using liquid glue and the card was finished in no time!

Thank you so much for joining me!

Shaker card with poinsettias

November 24, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! It’s Galina. Today I want to share with you another shaker card. This time I decided to create a super fancy and shiny card using patterned paper.

How to create this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia’s Youtube chanel.

I start by cutting out a red scallop panel with SCALLOP HONEYCOMB COVER die. Also I cut out a smaller rectangle panel with Dotted Patterns Set 1 – Creative Dies.I cut it out from a patterned paper with black wide stripes. To create a shaker I cut out a round window in the patterned paper. I add an acetate sheet and a lot of foam tape.

I stamped a sentiment inside of the shaker and put some LIPSTICK RED and GOLD CRYSTALS. I stamped two beautiful poinsettias from Merry Poinseta stamp set, you can also use POINSETTIA BORDER stamp set for such card as well. I colored poinsettias with copic markers and cut them out with a coordinating die.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

A Sparkly and Bright Merry Christmas Slimline Card

Happy Monday Friends.
How fun would it be if the snow was all the colors of the rainbow? What a magical place it would be. A rainbow lover’s dream for sure!

Anywho, let’s get on with how this pretty Sparkly card came together.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I die cut the background panel using the larger frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE – SET 1. I then used the INK BLENDER BRUSHES to blend out the rainbow colors using the CONFETTI STENCIL and Distress Oxide Inks. It’s difficult to see from the pictures but I also stamped out a large SNOWFLAKE on the panel that I heat embossed in white.

The cute snowman comes from the HAPPY SNOWMEN that was colored using Copics and then die cut with the coordinating HAPPY SNOWMEN DIES. The Trees in the scene come from the WINTER KOBI set that I also colored with Copics and die cut with the coordinating WINTER KOBI DIES.

To create the sparkly hills, I used the TRIMMINGS BORDERS CREATIVE DIES and just extended the wave by lining up the end of the cut with the die again to fit the slimline format. I then die cut the hill piece with the DOTTED SLIMLINE – SET 1 to create the same finished edge along the bottom of the panel. To add the sparkly detail, I used an old paintbrush and loaded it with STUDIO KATIA GLUE, and then painted the hills with it. I then poured the CHUNKY SPARKLE GLITTER over the wet glue and pressed it in place with a piece of scrap paper. Once it was dry I glued it onto the background panel.

For the sentiment, I stamped the Merry from the POINSETTIA BORDER on the top right-hand side of the panel and then stamped the Christmas in white onto black cardstock. I then used a small banner die from the PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES to layer on to the Merry.

For a finishing touch of more sparkle, I added some IRIDESCENT STARS to the rainbow sky.
I hope this Sparkly and Bright Christmas Card inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Hugs to you all,

Ilda

Holiday Cheer with Emily

November 18, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

The weather has gotten a lot colder all of a sudden and that’s a sign to hunker down and make Christmas cards! I’ve been wanting to use Happy Snowmen for a while now and today’s the day. I’m pairing it up with the Zig Zag Stripes rubber cling background stamp and the Snow-fetti Stencil.

I started by stamping and heat embossing all of the images with Versafine Onyx Black pigment ink and super fine clear embossing powder. Then I used distress inks to watercolour the images and you can find all those colours in the supply links on my blog.

I set aside the images to dry and stamp the Zig Zag Stripes rubber cling background stamp with pumice stone pigment ink on an A2 panel. I trim a second panel from watercolour cardstock and ink blend it with weathered wood distress ink, then use stormy sky distress ink to ink blend the Snow-fetti Stencil over top. To add some sparkle, I splatter shimmer spritz on the panel and blot it with a paper towel.

I add 3/4″ Scor-Tape to the bottom of the top panel and press Frost Glitter into it to create a snowy base for my scene. Then I heat emboss the two-part sentiment, again using Versafine Onyx Black pigment ink and super fine clear embossing powder. I assemble the card with foam tape and mini glue dots, then finish with Bora Bora Pearls on the tree.

Partial shaker Christmas card

November 17, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello friends! It’s Galina with another video tutorial for you! Today I’ll share some watercolor and die cutting tips featuring winter Kobi stamp set and Dotted PAttern set 4.

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

I cut out a white panel from a watercolor paper using a boggest die from Dotted Pattern set 4. And with a medium die from this set I cut out a big red frame a nd a small gold frames.

I stamped few images from Winter Kobi stamp set on the watercolor panel. I stamped them with black archival ink to be able to color the images with watercolor markers.

So, I picked two shades of a green color for my tree and I’m going to color it from the lightest shades to darkest. And I applied ink only on edges to create a light spot in the center of the tree.

I want to create a glowing effect around all tiny lights. I simply color them with one marker and then I wash out the color with my water brush, I made a circular motions with the brush to create a light color dots around the lights. After my coloring was done I put on a paper a clear beads, sequins, white jewel crystal and super awesome acrylic snowflakes.

I cut out a sentiment using Merry Poinsettia dies and I foam mount it inside of the left window.

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh so Jolly! with Natalia

November 16, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there! It’s Natalia here. Today I want to share with you a card featuring beautiful Studio Katia products – CHUNKY ALPHABET Creative Dies, Holiday Village and Kobi’s Ice day stamp sets. First, I stamped cute images from the Holiday Village and Kobi’s Ice day stamp sets, colored them with copic markers and die cut out with coordinating dies. I added highlights using white and silver gel pen. Next, I blended some distress inks onto a white background panel. I adhered the images onto my background panel using double-sided foam tape. I die cut out the words “oh so jolly” out of a silver glittered cardstock using a die from CHUNKY ALPHABET Creative Dies and adhered them at the top of my card using double-sided foam tape.

I embellished the card with IRIDESCENT ICE FLAKES

Thank you so much for joining me today, have a great day!

Christmas bees with Kaja

November 12, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have made a cute Christmas card using one of the coolest animals out there — bees!

Take a look:

I started making this card by stamping out three bees from Honey bees stamp set in black ink. Then, I picked out some cute accessories and a Christmas tree from Winter Kobi stamp set and stamped it in the same black ink. I colored the images in using alcohol markeres in soft tones. Once I was happy with the colored images, I added some details using white gel pen.

Next, I started making the background for which I used soft yellow color that matches the bees perfectly and Studio Katia brushes. I put the color only behind the tree, so now it looks like the light is coming from behind the tree. I masked the bottom part of the background to get a nice snowy hill.

Next, I die cut the background out with the Scallop square die. This gave the background a nice finished looked. I also left the thin scalloped border around the edges which makes the background even more interesting.

The last think I added was the sentiment that reads ‘Holiday greetings’ and can be found in Happy snowman stamp set. I used black ink and I centered the sentiment on the white hill.

I then glued everything together using double sided foam tape and liquid glue.

Thank you so much for joining me!

CAS Slimline Merry and Bright Holiday Card

CAS, Slimline, Merry and Bright, Holiday Card, Studio Katia, rainbow,distress oxide inks,Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to,Christmas,

Hey Everyone!

You know what I love? Slimline cards and the amazing scenes you can create with all the extra real estate! You know what I hate? Taking photos of them especially for Instagram purposes because they don’t fit nicely in the IG grid! Oh well, I guess it will be a love-hate relationship!

So enough venting, and let’s get on with this fun rainbow inspired CAS Slimline Holiday Card.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I die cut two of the Slimeline frames using the DOTTED SLIMLINE – SET 2, the scalloped one from white paper, and the larger one from a silver glitter paper.

I then placed the scalloped frame in the Misti and did some repeat stamping of these darling twig trees from the HAPPY SNOWMEN stamp set in rainbow colors using Distress Oxide Inks.

Next, I stamped out the greeting by combining a few sentiments from the HAPPY SNOWMEN and the CRAFTASTIC stamps sets.

To finish off this pretty Merry and Bright card, I added coordinating rainbow pearls along the trees. See links below for the complete list of colors used.

I really love how this colorful card turned out. Plus, the best part was how simple this card was to make!

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

Snowman Slide by Tracey

November 11, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Other, Winter Holidays

Hi there, it’s Tracey here today and I have a Christmas card with the Studio Katia Slider Tag Die built right into the front of the card.

I blended a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock with Distress Oxide inks using the Studio Katia Blending Brushes. I used Spun Sugar, Picked Raspberry and Seedless Preserves. I placed the Studio Katia Snow-Fetti Creative Stencil over the panel and applied a layer of Nuvo Moonshine Glimmer Paste. I lifted the stencil and sprayed Tsukineko Sparkle Sheer Shimmer Spritz all over the stenciled panel and set it aside to dry.

I used the Studio Katia Slider Tag Dies to create the slider mechanism on the front of my card. The snowman will pop up when you slide the tag up. The die comes in three pieces–the large slider which I cut from the stenciled card front, the slider message panel that I ink blended with Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide ink and the tag back which I lightly blended some Spun Sugar Distress Oxide around the edges of.

I stamped and Copic coloured some images from the Studio Katia Happy Snowman stamp set that I adhered to the slider panel so they will pop up when you slide the tag. Then I white embossed Merry Christmas from the Studio Katia Gift Tag Greetings: Winter set to the top of the purple tag so it will show when you slide the tag up. Then finally I stamped and Copic coloured a few of the snowman’s tiny treasures directly to the tag back, which I have facing forward, so they will display when you slide the tag up. Isn’t that so cute?

I added clear Wink of Stella to all of the Copic coloured images. Wink of Stella doesn’t photograph well but the recipient will definitely get to enjoy it.

Thank you so much for joining me today. I am really starting to get into the Christmas spirit and had so much fun creating this interactive card. I hope I’ve inspired you to do the same.

Slimline slider card. Video

November 10, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Other, Winners, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone. Today I’m going to show how to create a super fun slimline card with a slider on it.

How to make this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia’s youtube channel.

I start by cutting out three card panels. I cut out a red and white panels using DOTTED SLIMLINE SET 2 and the smallest, black panel I cut out using my trimmer, I cut it just a little bit smaller, so that tiny embossed dots are visible

I stamped a snowflakes on a black panel using white pigment ink. I stamped a bunch of images using Kobi’s Ice day and Winter Kobi stamp sets. I colored them with Copic markers and cut out with coordinating dies. I foam mount all the elements on the card panel.

To create a sentiment I used a pretty die from HAPPY PAWLIDAYS DIE set. I cut out 4 sentiments from a red cardstock and I adhered them together to get a nice dimensional sentiment.

Thank for stopping by!
