Floral wreath card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I made a floral card to brighten somebodies day!

Take a look:

Today, it was a beautiful sunny day in Slovenia, so I went outside and I stamped out a Floral wreath stamp that I colored in using watercolor markers. I went with blues and purples for the blooms and green for the leaves.

Next, I trimmer the paper down to a square shape that is slightly smaller than the card base. I put a piece of gray card stock behind it to create a simple backdrop.

Then, I stamped a word ‘sending’ from Japanese peony stamp set in black ink in the right part of the circle. I die cut the word ‘hugs’ from the Lovely words in the same gray card stock I used for the background and the sentiment now reads ‘Sending hugs’.

I glued everything together using Studio Katia glue and foam tape.

Thank you for joining me!

Light Up the World with Tracey

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Other

Hi there it’s Tracey here today hoping to bring you a smile when there is so much going on in our world. Today I have a card using the very cute Paws for Kindness stamps and dies!

I stamped the girl with the cat and dog and coloured the images with Copic Markers. The image was die cut using the co-ordinating dies and set aside.

I prepared the main panel by die cutting the Scallop Honeycomb Cover from white cardstock. Before I stenciled the panel I taped down to my craft mat with Purple Tape so it wouldn’t shift underneath the stencil. I placed the Love for Paws Stencil over the panel and taped it down to my craft mat also with Purple Tape . Using the Studio Katia blending brushes I blended Distress Oxide inks inside the stitched border starting at the bottom of the panel and worked towards the top. I used Broken China and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Inks.

The sentiment was added to the top of the panel using the Paws for Kindness stamp set. The top line ‘light up the world with’ was white embossed and then die cut using one of the new banner dies from the Studio Katia Peony Trimmings die set.

I covered the card front with a piece of blue cardstock that co-ordinated with the stenciling. Then the Scallop Honeycomb Cover was attached using Studio Katia doubled-sided white foam tape. To finish off the card I attached the girl with the cat and dog also with the doubled-sided white foam tape.

I think the sentiment created with the Paws for Kindness stamp set is very appropriate with all that is going on in the world today. This one will go out to a friend that needs a hug during this time of social distancing. Thank you so much for joining me today. Wishing you all good health and happiness.

Hello everyone! Natalia is here. And today I would like to show you simple but very cute card made with the JAWSOME and UNDER THE SEA.

First, I stamped the cute images from the JAWSOME and UNDER THE SEA stamp sets. Colored them with copic markers. I made highlights using white and silver pen.

When my coloring was done, I die cut the images with coordinating dies.

I took two panels of white and grey cardstock. I cut out a window in the grey panel using paper knife and ruler. I inked white panel with Alcohol Inks. To make the panel look more interesting I added some splatters.

Next, I adhered the marine life to the grey panel with foam tape. I added a sentiment from used set and added some CLEAR DROPS for a finishing touch.

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

Crafty Birthday with Tracey

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS

Hi there it’s Tracey back here again today sharing a birthday card that’s perfect for a crafty friend. I have been building up my stash of birthday cards lately and creating cards to share with a crafty friends has been just what I needed to kick away those winter blues.

To start the card off I created a blended background panel using the newly released Ink Splash stencil. I blended Distress Oxide inks in Tumbled Glass, Peacock Feathers, Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, Wild Honey and Spiced Marmalade to create the base layer. I flicked some water over the ink blending and picked up some of the colour using paper towel. Once dry I trimmed the panel down to 4″ x 5 1/4″.

Next I stamped both of the stamps from the Artsy Trimmings stamp set using Copic friendly ink and then cut the two pieces out with the co-odinating Artsy Trimming die set. I wanted to select certain crafty tools from the two stamped pieces that would fit along the bottom of my A2 sized card base and I didn’t want them to appear in the order they were stamped. So I was able to easily fussy cut only the tools I wanted and then I coloured them with Copic markers.

I covered the front of my top folding card base with black cardstock and then attached the ink blended background panel. Along the bottom of the panel I adhered the die cut crafty tools in the order that I wanted them to appear with foam tape. Near the top of the panel I added one of my favourite sentiments from the Birthday Greetings stamp set with VersaFine Onyx Black ink. To finish the card off I added some crystals for a sparkly finish.

Thanks so much for stopping in today to create with me. See you again next time!

Impressed heart die with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have prepared a simple card that futures a technique I haven’t used for a long time. Can you guess which one just by looking at the card?

If you said that I used die to make an impression in the paper you were right! First, I took the heart die from the Fancy scallop hearts die and I put it on the square piece of paper. Then I used the silicone pad along with my diecutting mashine to get it’s impression instead of die cut.

Next, I stamped out the floral image from the You’re so sweet set and I imediately masked it using masking paper that I previously fussy cut in a shape of this flower. Next, I masked off the edges of the square and to do so, I used masking paper from which I die cut a heart. Next, I used Studio Katia brushes to ink blend blue ink from the edges of the heart towards the center. I made sure to leave the center lighter and the edges darker.

Once everything was ink bleneded I removed the masks and colored in the floral image that I previously stamped. I used alcohol markers for it and in the end I added some white gel pen details.

Then, I added the sentiment that reads ‘Just because’ from the same You’re so sweet set. I put it on a white strip and popped it up using foam tape.

The really last thing I added were some clear drops and the card was all finished!

Thank you for joining me!

CAS Adore You card with Isha Gupta

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a CAS card with you today. I am getting into spring mood even though we didn’t have snow this year…lol. So I used some pastel shades for my card.

I started by making a white top fold cardbase. I cut a mat layer and stamped the images from the Pomegranates Trimmings stamp set using a copic friendly ink. To keep everything simple, I went with flat coloring and just three colors of copic markers. I really love the end result. I used YG03, R30 and R32 markers and colored the image. I then applied Tumbled Glass distress ink to the top and bottom edges of this panel using the SK Blender Brush. I wanted to mat this layer before adhering it to the cardbase, so I took a white cardstock and colored the edges using R32 copic marker so it matches the color of the image. I used the sentiment and banner die from the new Peony Trimmings stamp and dies set. I die-cut an extra banner out of white cardstock and colored it using R32 copic marker once again. I adhered it to the sentiment banner but offsetting it a bit.

I adhered the banner using Studio Katia 3D foam. To finish, I added a few Icy Sparkle Crystals. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day!

Square floral card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have prepared a simple floral birhtday card for you!

Take a look:

When I go on a trip with my family I like to bring some stamps with me to color when I have a bit of free time. Last weekend I took two crafty things with me: You’re so sweet stamp set and ZIG watercolor brush markers. I colored the flower in soft pink and the leaves in green.

I continue working on my card when I got home. First thing I did, was to die cut a square from the Scallop square die set which I then used to create a focal point on my background.

I used gray ink to stamp out a sentiment that reads ‘Happy birthday to you’ from a new It’s your birthday stamp set. I positioned it towards the right of my square, so I could put the flower on the left.

Then, I took a gray piece of card stock and put it behind the white square. I made sure that the gray matches the color of the ink I used. To made it even more connected to the rest of the card, I used a white gel pen and draw in a white square towards the edges of the gray card stock.

I positioned everything on a card and glued it down using liquid glue along with some foam tape.

The last thing I added were some pink crystals from October crystals pack that go nicely with the color of the flowers. I used Embelishment wand and Studio Katia liquid glue to glue them down.

Thank you for joining me!

Color Swatch Crafty Friendship Card

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Other

Hello and Happy Saturday Friends, Ilda here!

For my card today I was inspired by color swatches, so I thought it would be fun to create a Colorful Color Swatch Crafty Friendship Card featuring the new DOTTED SQUARE FRAME from Studio Katia’s latest release. This die is perfect not only as a frame but because of the square dies you get this would also make a great die to use for swatching ink colors.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I die cut the DOTTED SQUARE FRAME from a piece of Neenah Cardstock. Once I had the pieces all cut out I began ink blending each square in rainbow order using a variety of Distress Oxide Ink pads. See thumbnails below for the colors used.

Next, I glue the panel down onto the card front and then popped the squares in place using foam tape. To the orange square, I stamped out the sending stamp from the JAPANESE PEONY set.

Next, I die cut 3 layers of the Crafty from the ARTSY TRIMMINGS DIES and the hugs from the LOVELY WORDS DIES, stacked and glued them together. I then glued them in place and finished them off with a layer of glossy accents.

To finish the card, I added some ONYX CRYSTALS as embellishments and then die cut and added the black frame to balance out the black focal points on the card.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you were inspired by this Color Swatch Crafty Friendship Card. Sending you all Crafty Hugs!

Until next time… Happy Crafting!
