Peace on Earth by Tracey

October 26, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Winter Holidays

Hi there, it’s Tracey back again today with two elegant card designs using just one stencil that would be perfect to mass produce for Christmas. I used two different methods to add elegance to the cards.

I started off by ink blending two 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ panels of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I used the Studio Katia Ink Blender Brushes to blend Distress Oxide Inks on to the panels. I used Tumbled Glass, Cracked Pistachio and Peacock Feathers for the first panel and Scattered Straw, Worn Lipstick and Festive Berries for the second. If you were to use regular Distress Inks your results would be more vibrant. The Distress Oxides inks yield a softer blend. I die cut both panels with the large rectangle die from the Studio Katia Darling Ribbons Frames die set.

After the ink blending was dry I lay the blue panel down on my work surface and placed the Studio Katia Snowflake Creative Stencil on top of the panel in the bottom left of the card front. I taped it down with Post-it tape and ink blended Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide ink from the centre of the stencil out. I used Pixie Spray to add some tac to the back of the stencil to keep it front shifting. After I removed the stencil I put the panel into my spray box and gave it a generous spray of Shimmer Spray. The Shimmer Spray has a beautiful sparkle and because the spray it wet it oxidizes the ink. Both add a lovely texture to the card while keeping it flat for mailing. The sentiment from the Studio Katia Poinsettia Border stamp set was white embossed in the upper right corner once the panel was completely dry.

For the second red panel I once again I used the Studio Katia Snowflake Creative Stencil to ink blend Seedless Preserves Distress Oxide Ink on to the same bottom left bottom left of the card front. I love the way the purple ink pops off the red panel. Once the panel was dry I embossed the same sentiment from the Studio Katia Poinsettia Border stamp set with gold pearl embossing power in the upper right corner. I wanted to add even more elegance and dimension to this card so I added some Studio Katia Gold Foil Pearls to the snowflake using Studio Katia glue.

Two cards created with the same stencil but with a completely different feel just by using brighter and bolder colours along with gold embossing and pearls for added elegance.

Thanks so much for stopping in today and I’ve inspired you to get your stencils out to create some quick and easy cards.

Hello everyone!

I’ve started making Christmas cards some time ago and today Im going to show how to create beautiful and quick cards using FLORAL SNOWFLAKE STENCIL.

How to made such cards you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel.

For the first card I decided to use some cool tones of my distress inks, and at first I’m applying light shades of blue inks on a white card base.

To create a second layer of my snowy card I used a piece of transparent vellum. I cut it a little bit bigger than my card just to for easier positioning later on the card. And I apply inks trough the stencil on the vellum piece. Darker colors are better visible on vellum so I picked a dark blue intense colos from my stash.

To hide the foam tape between layers I cut ot a white frame using Half Striped Cover plate die. I cut off the inner stripes and adhered the frma on the vellum.

In a same way I created one more card, this time I used some pink and red shades of distress inks.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Quick and Easy Card Mini Series PT 3

October 10, 2020 / CATEGORIES - CAS, Floral Cards

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with my third part of the quick and easy card series. Part 2 can be found here.

This is probably the quickest card of the whole series but I wanted to show that outline stamps don’t have to be coloured in.

I used the You’re So Sweet stamp set and using one of the floral images I stamped randomally all over some card, I then used one of the leaf stamps to fill in any gaps. If you are doing this then make sure to make it look natural that you stamp some off the edge of the card.

Once I was happy I used the Scallop Hearts Cover outer die to die cut the piece out and stamped a sentiment. I then used some twine around the top of the card for texture and adhered the whole panel onto a Kraft card base and finished off with some Majestic Fushion Sequins.

This sort of card is fantastic if you have a lot of cards to make, you can totally mix the colours up and its suitable for so many occasions. It also gives your outline stamps another great way to be used.

Don’t be afraid to mix it up and use coloured embossing powders or metallic ink pads, there really is so many options you can use.

If you feel your card is lacking then use a slighly facnier die like I have.

I hope you have enjoyed the mini series so far, please let me know if you want me to create some more cards for it, or is there another mini series you’d like to see ?

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you have an amazing day. Happy Crafting.

Thanksgiving Inspiration Cards

Happy Wednesday Friends, Ilda here!

I am back today with a few Thanksgiving Inspiration Cards. Even though 2020 has been such a terrible year for all of us around the world, there is still so much to be thankful for.

CARD DETAILS

I began these cards by stamping out the images from the AUTUMN BORDERS stamp set (which by the way is currently on sale if you are interested). I used VersaFine Onyx Ink and then heat set it with a clear embossing powder so that I could do some really easy water coloring using Karin Brushmarkers.

Once the images were dry I die cut them out using the coordinating AUTUMN BORDERS DIES. Under each die-cut, I left enough room to add a sentiment from the AUTUMN BORDERS set and then trimmed excess paper underneath.

I then popped up the strips using foam tape and attached them to these beautiful backgrounds and finished them off by adding some pearls. On this card, I used the AMETHYST PEARLS.

To create these beautiful backgrounds, I used the MINI ARCS STENCIL, and I created my own gold paste (because I didn’t have any) by mixing Platinum Embellishment Mousse with a little bit of Solar Flare Shimmer Powder.

Doesn’t the pattern remind you of acorn tops? Such a pretty design and I just love the texture this paste created.

To finish off this card I added WINE BERRY PEARLS. Love how these cards turned out!

I hope these Thanksgiving cards inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Birthday Card With Isha Gupta

September 23, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS

Hello everyone! Isha here with you today with a CAS card using stencil.

I started by creating the background. I sponged some spun sugar, worn lipstick, picked raspberry and wilted violet distress oxide inks to the white cardstock using the blender brushes. I then took the Autumn Leaves stencil and put it on the inked piece. I then applied versamark ink through the stencil. Remove the stencil and dab some perfect pearls to the piece. Die-cut the heart, adhere the positive to the white cardbase, adhere vellum on top. Now adhere the negative part of the layer to the cardbase. Stamp sentiment from the It’s your Birthday stamp set onto vellum using StazOn black ink. Die-cut the word YOU from the Chunky Alphabet die four times from white cardstock. Stack them, apply some clear sparkle on it and add glossy accent. Let dry.

Adhere the word to the heart center. To finish, add some Icy Sparkle Crystals. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice day and stay safe!

Simple floral hello card with Kaja

September 14, 2020 / 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.

Kaja
