August 5, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina! Today I have for you a super shiny card with a lot of gold elements. In today’s tutorial I shared 3 cardmaking techniques of how to add gold elements on the card.

How to make this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia chanel.

For the card background I used Autumn Leaves stencil. I applied green and yellow distress ink through it. I applied inks using Studio Katia Blender Brushes. And then using a palette knife I applied Nuvo gold glitter gel on some leaves.

I stamped a beautiful wreath from Floral wreath stamp set on a vellum with versamark clear ink, covered it with gold embossing powder and melted the powder with a heat gun.

I decorate the wreath with a cute bow, I cut out it from a gold mirror carsdtock and a bow die from Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames.

To create a sentiment I cut out a word “Hello” using a die from FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES and stamped word “Friend.

I fnished the card by adding MOSS GREEN PEARLS and LEMON BURST PEARLS. I adhered them with liquid glue from Studio Katia.

Rainbow stamping and stitching

July 29, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards

Hello everyone!

Galina is here. I want to show you how I made a fun stitched project and I used Polkadot cover plate die, you can use aregular dies for stitching like STITCH BORDERS die set, but for my stitching desig nI want to use cover die because I don’t want to leave empty holes on a paper.

How to make this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia chanel.

I cut out two borders using a die from SIMPLE DOTTED BORDERS 1 and a thin die with holes fromSTITCH BORDERS die set. Also I cut out a small white panel using Polkadot cover die.

I stitched on the paper using multicolored cotton thread. You can create your own multicolored thread by coloring it with watercolor paints or distress inks or alcohol markers. In the video I showed the process and my results.

I stamped multicolored floral images using both stamps from Peony trimming stamp set and a few distress oxide inks. I embellished the card with IRIDESCENT BUBBLES large and tiny sizes.

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.

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.

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!
