Simple floral hello card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and I must admit that I haven’t been making much cards lately, so today I decided to make a card for my soul — a watercolored floral card.

Take s look:

I started by stamping out a floral image from Aloha stamp set on a piece of watercolor paper. Then, I used ZIG watercolor markers to color in the image. I made sure that I left the shadows dark and the highlights bright. I used purple and red for the blooms and green for the leaves.

Once the image was colored, I went ahead and added some white details using white gel pen. The image seemed to big for a standard card base, so I quickly cut it in the middle which got me two parts of the stamped image. I glued it one over the other to get to a nice tall image.

Next, I added a black strip of paper to the left hand-side of the card and embelished it with a white line across its left side. To corespond with the black, I added the sentiment that reads ‘Hello my friend’ from the same Aloha stamp set.

I put the flowers down using double sided tape and liquid glue. I felt like I needed some more color so I added the purple dots that I put on a card using the Embellisment wand!

The card was all finished in no time, so now the only thing left to do is to send it out.

Cards for Crafty Friends with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards

Hello there!  Do you like making greeting cards for your crafty friends? Studio Katia has a lot of wonderful products for such type of cards. I decided to make two cards featuring ARTSY TRIMMINGS stamp set. Both cards were made in the same way, so I will describe the process once.

I started working on the background first. I die cut out two ovals using NESTED OVALS dies and ink blended one with Wilted Violet and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Inks and the other with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink. I wanted to give my backgrounds a more original shape, so I cut a piece off the side of both ovals and got straight edges.

Next I wanted to add texture to the backgrounds. I used INK SPLASH STENCIL and Nuvo Glimmer Paste for that. I think this not only adds a fun sparkle to the background, but also highlights the crafty theme of the cards.

Next, I stamped the images  from the ARTSY TRIMMINGS set in black ink and colored them with Copic markers. I used the matching ARTSY TRIMMINGS DIES to die cut the images.

From there, I layered the backgrounds onto light gray card bases and adhered my images using DOUBLE SIDED FOAM TAPE – BLACK. I stamped a part of the sentiments I wanted to add on the white panel, right at the straight edge of my ovals.

I made the second part of the sentiments using words: Create ans Crafty, which I die cut out of the black cardstock. These words are included in the coordinating die set.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Happy Fall with Natalia

/ CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards

Hi there! It’s Natalia here. Today I want to share with you my card featuring beautiful Studio Katia CHUNKY ALPHABET Creative Dies.

To make this card I started by stamping the cute image from the AUTUMN BORDERS stamp set, which I colored with copic markers and cut out using scissors. I made highlights with white and silver gel pen.

I die cut out a panel out of white cardstock using HALFTONE DOTS COVER | CREATIVE DIES. I ink blended some distress inks onto a white panel same size as the dot panel and added some splashes with clean water. I glued these panels together.

I adhered the image onto the background panel mounting it on a double-sided foam tape. I die cut out the words Happy Fall out of gold glittered cardstock using a die from CHUNKY ALPHABET Creative Dies and adhered it in the middle of the card again using the double-sided foam tape.

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

Inside and Out Birthday Card with Dana

/ CATEGORIES - Cards

Happy Wednesday, Studio Katia friends!

It’s Dana here and I’m sharing a fun birthday card today. Let’s get started!

To begin, I created card base for inside & out of my card. I die cut one piece of A2 sized white card stock using Sky Set Borders. I then scored a line about an inch from the bottom and put it down for next step.

Using Sky Set Borders, I also made mini clouds and memo part as shown in the picture.

For background, I softly ink blended with Distress Oxide Inks using Ink Blender Brush. I used Victorian Velvet, Dried Marigold and Cracked Pistachio colors.

Next, I stamped Kobi Bearing Gifts in black and colored them in with Copic markers. I die cut them out using its coordinating dies. I added some glossy effect using crystal drops as well.

I then stamped a sentiment from Kobi Makes a Wish where I wanted it.

As a final touch, I adhered a cloud panel in front of sky and popped up Kobi Bearing Gifts image using foam tape.

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

Dana, xoxo

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! It’s Galina and I want to share some simple tips how to make your card more interesting. We can forget about tiny details or totally forget about a full box of glitter in your stash, but using this kind of embellishments you can make your card pop!

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

For this card I used pretty clouds border dies. Imbellished them with different color chunky glitter. I adhere glitter using liquid glue from Studio Katia.

Using Elongated Dotted Hexagons – Creative Dies  I cut out a widow in the white panel. I placed my sky scene inside of it. I stamped two cute bees and colored them with alcohol markers, I foam mount bees on the card penel. To create a sentiment I used two letters dies from CHUNKY ALPHABET  and white glitter cardstock.

Thank you for stopping by!

Sport-Balls Trimmings Birthday Card with Emily

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards

Can you believe it’s September? I have a lot of birthdays to celebrate this month so I need to get started. I made this card for my youngest nephew who’s turning 8 mid-month. He’s the youngest of three kids but also the most athletic. He’s good at every sport he tries so Sport-Balls Trimmings was the obvious choice for his card.

I heat embossed the image and watercoloured it with distress inks. After the panel dried, I die cut it with the coordinating Sport-Balls Trimmings Dies and set it aside. I created a slimline card base and die cut the front panel with Dotted Slimline Set 1.

I masked off the edges of the card base and used the Light Ray Stencil directly on the card base. I also created a mask for the image and continued the rays below the images. Then I curved the sentiment from Birthday Greetings against the oval die and heat embossed it on to the card base. To finish, I adhered the frame and image to the card with fun foam and added some Iridescent Stars.

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

Craftastic Birthday Shaker by Tracey

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards

Hi there, it’s Tracey here today with a shaker birthday card using the Craftastic Stamp set and matching Craftastic dies.

The first step was to create a background using the Ink Splash stencil and some Distress Oxide inks. I masked and blended Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Wild Honey, Spiced Marmelade and Wilted Violet Distess Inks using the Studio Katia Blending Brushes. One done the panel was trimmed down to 5 1/4″ x 4″.

The Craftastic mug image was stamped twice. Once on white cardstock and then a second time in black and clear embossed on to watercolour cardstock. The mug and the crafty goodies inside were coloured with watercolours. I added a fitted piece of Studio Katia Acetate to the back of the watercoloured piece.

To assemble the shaker the inside shaker element was cut from the mug and the shaker was built on the ink blended panel from the bottom up. The cup image was cut from a sheet of double sided foam adhesive and placed over top of the regular die cut. The centre of the mug was inlaid into the foam die cut and some Iridescent Crystals were put into the well using he Studio Katia Embellishment Wand. The watercoloured piece was added over the top.

The sentiment is from the Birthday Greetings stamp set and was stamped in black ink directly on to the ink blended background. The panel was added to the white card base with Studio Katia White Foam Tape. This adds dimension especially when you are adding a primarily white panel on to a white card base.

Thanks so much for stopping in today.
