Floral Christmas Card by Galina Filippenko

December 11, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Winter Holidays

Hi everyone! As always, I try to make a lot of Christmas cards and one of my favorite stamp to make quick cards is POINSETTIA TRIMMINGS. This set consist of two border stamps, I can use them as one background stamp or use them separately.

At first, I cut out a card panel using large die from Dotted set 3 and Neenah Desert Storm cardstock. Next I heat embossed flowers with white embossing powder. I colored all images with copic markers. If I colored out of line and make mess on the white lines I simply swiped ink with finger, but it would be better to use dry cloth 🙂

From the same cardstock I cut a label and heat embossed a sentiment, using again white embossing powder. Also I add one additional layer of red cardstock under the sentiment and card panel. At last I cover flowers and red cardstock with liquid shimmer (Wink of Stella pen).

Hi guys! It’s Galina and I want to share with you one more winet card.

I start with creating a hill on my card. I used border die and cut a card panel in a half. On the top I applied yellow distress ink through the Light Ray stencil to create a focal point. Next I stamped and colored little house, trees and bushes with copic markers. I adhere them onto card panel with adhesive foam.

At last I heat embossed a sentiment on a blue cardsock.

Have a great day!

Christmas Cup of Flowers with Erum

November 16, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there everyone! Erum here today with more Christmas inspiration!

I have a habit of using non-Christmas stamp sets on holiday cards so today I picked up A Cup of Thanks Stamp Set and turned it into a Christmas Stamp just bu using the traditional holiday colours.

I heat embossed the stamped image in gold and then used distress inks to colour in the image. Once the watercolour was dry, I used the coordinating die to die cut the image. Then I started to work on my card front.

For that, I used a light colour wash to add a similar colour to that of the cup to my background. I also added white paint splatters as well as black paint splatters to it.

Then I stamped the sentiment from Poinsettia Trimmings Stamp Set and it officially became a holiday card! I added a thin strip of glitter tape onto a panel and adhered it below the colour wash panel to add bling.

In the end, I adhered all the panels on a red card base.

I didnt add any gems or sequins because I just loved how this one turned out!

I hope you liked my card!

Hi everyone, it’s Galina! Today I want to share with you a winter card.

At first I cut a card panel in a half using border die. To create card background I used beautiful Mandala stencil, I simply I applied few colors of distress ink through the mask and with second layer I applied transparent Nuvo Glimmer paste.

On the bottom of my card panel I add three color of distress ink using blending tool and heat embossed a sentiment. I used a fine detailed white embossing powder to get nice image with tiny lines.

At last I stamped and colored houses, trees and little snow men. I cut all images with coordinating dies.

At last I adhere all elements onto white card base and my card is done.

Have a great day!

Merry Poinsettia Christmas Card with Erum

November 6, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello there everyone!

Erum here today with a simple Christmas card for you!

My card features the Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set. I watercoloured this with distress inks. The only two colours I used were Aged Mahogany and Black Soot. All the stamping was second generation so that I don’t get a very hard, prominent outline. Next, I used the same inks to colour the images.

I used the frame from Dotted Shaker Tag 2 as a base to add my sentiment on. The word “joy” is part of the Merry Poinsettia Die Set.

Before placing my images, I added a few black paint splatters. To finish off, I adhered some Majestic Confetti.

I hope you liked my card. I love how it turned out!

Thank you for stopping by!

Hi friends! Erum here today and I have a cheerful, floral card to share with you. My card features the You’re So Sweet Stamp Set.

Studio Katia You're So Sweet Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I kept my card super simple. I started by first stamping with antique linen distress ink because I was going for a no line coloured look.

I used Prismaolor Pencils to colour the images. I first added the lightest colour and then proceeded to add darker shades as I moved towards the flower center.

I did film the colouring process but it was SO boring and so long that I just left the video editing halfway! After I was done with the colouring, I added black and white paint splatters, popped up a sentiment. In the end, I added a few yellow sequins.

Altering Stamps with Erum

October 5, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Other, Thank You Cards

Hi there everyone! Erum here with a new card. Today, I will use the A Cup of Thanks Stamp Set and alter it a bit to use it differently.

If you hopped along with us during the release, you must have seen THIS card of mine where I used the same stamp set differently by stamping the image again and selecting just the florals from the second image to add to my card.

This time too, I stamped the image twice. Next, I coloured just the flowers with Prismacolor pencils. After I was done colouring, I fussy cut the flowers out only and layered the two pieces in a way to build a floral bouquet.

I wanted all the focus on the flowers so I kept my card base very simple by adding fine black paint splatters and stamping the sentiment “Thanks”.

I adhered the flowers onto the card base with foam tape and in the end, I added a few, very gorgeous, Midnight Blue Crystals with the help of my new best friend the Studio Katia Glue and the Jewel Picker Tool. This glue dries clear (and fast) AND it’s NOT glossy! This is why it’s my new best friend!

If I had not mentioned which stamp set this was from, you would’ve not guessed it at first glance. You have already seen two very different cards with this stamp set from me and the design team has made quite a few samples as well. A Cup of Thanks is quite a versatile stamp set! You need to add this to your collection STAT!

See you all soon lovelies! Thank you for stopping by.

Hi everyone! It’s Galina and I’m sharing one more card using pretty heart shape dies. My first card with this heart die you can find here.

At first I applied blue and green distress oxide inks on a white paper stripe, little bit bigger than heart die, next I cut out bunch of hearts and small heart pieces ( you can see them on top and bottom of a card panel).

To create my card panel I used pierced rectangle die and regular white cardstock and then I cut “heart holes” in this panel using pierced heart die.

Also I stamped and cut out beautiful flower and few leaves. I colored all images with distress markers and distress inks. To create a sentiment cut a banner and I used stamp from , ,next I applied blue and green ink on it (at once), so I get nice colorful sentiment.

At last, I add black nuvo drops and adhere panek onto card base.

Have a great day!

Sea You Soon with Kristina

July 25, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS

Hello everyone! It’s Kristina here! Today I want to share with you two fun cards in similar technique that I made with Under The Sea stamp set.

I started by watercoloring a background with distress inks on a watercolor paper, then splattered it with water and added some splatters with the same inks.

After my background was dry, I stamped the sentiment with black ink.

Next, I stamped the images from Under the Sea stamp set, colored then with Copic markers, die cut with coordinating dies and adhered all images with foam tape onto my panel.

To finish my card, I added sparkling sequins.

The second card is very similar to the previous one, only I used a stingray as the focal image.

That’s all for today!

Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!
Kristina
