July 22, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina and today I have a bright summer shaker card to share with you. I embellished the card with copic colored flowers from Aloha Stamp set and a lot of colorful aequins from Summer Mix.

How to make an opened border shaker you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube chanel.

Card Details

I cut twice my A2 card panel using a line die from SIMPLE DOTTED BORDERS. I attached a white tulle behind those die cuts and a few pieces of foam tape from Studio Katia.

On a separate white panel I applied a few colors of Distress Oxide inks: Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Speckled Egg and Salvaged Patina. I foam mount the shaker panel on it. I attached the bottom piece of the tule on the back side of the card panel and put a lot of sequins from Summer mix inside of this shaker pocket. I closed the top edge with a tulle in the same way.

I stamped one small flower and 6 leaves from the Aloha Stamp set with Memento black ink and I colored them with alcohol based Copic Markers. For the flower I used : R21, 22, 24, 27, 59. For the leaves : G20, 24, 43, 28. I cut out the stamped images with coordinating dies and attached them on a card panel.

I stamped two sentiments using small stamps from the Aloha Stamp Set.

Hello everyone!
It’s Galina with you today. I want to share with you how I made a pretty card background with small flowers. I was creating a birthday card with cute little bees from the HONEY BEES Stamp Set and I decided I needed to add fancy details.

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

Card Details

I stamped a lot of small flowers on a bright white paper. I colored them with Arteza watercolor markers. But I didn’t make any blending with water. I used this medium because of high pigment ink in markers and I want to have bright red flowers on my card.

I cut out a panel using a rectangle die from and covered all the flowers with Glossy accent medium. I stamped teo cute bees on a same paper and colored them with Arteza markers. I cut out those images with a round die from the Dotted Patterns 1 die set. I foam mount them, on a card and heat embossed the sentiment on a black paper.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!

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.

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!

Watercolor Valentine’s Day Card with Dana

January 21, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hello, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m back with my first card of 2021. Many of things are still not good, but I hope everything goes well in new year to all of you. Today, I have a lovely card for Valentine’s Day and let’s get started!

To begin, I die cut white card stock using SCALLOP HEARTS COVER. I die cut it again with Fancy Scallop Hearts Dies. I then took a CHUNKY ALPHABET set and die cut ‘LOVE’ and small tag from red card stock.

Next, I stamped KIND BOUQUET in black onto cold pressed watercolor paper. I watercolored bouquet using Distress Inks and let it dried. I then colored again with Copic markers for pop the images and I love how it turned out. As a last touch of coloring, I added white dots using white gel pen and Nuvo crystal drop.
