Interactive card with potted plants stamp

January 24, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! It’s Galina. I want to share with you a card with a hidden secret using Potted Plants stamp set and few small dies from FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES set and ELEGANT SCALLOP OVAL die set.

I colored this card with a pencils. I stamped images with light green distress ink and colored them little bit over the lines, to create a no-line effect. I cut out stamped images with and plant them into the big pots. Few days ago I shared a similar card and how to create this big pots for the stamped flowers, video is avaible HERE. I cut out few half oval elements and apply brown ink on them using Bleder brushes.

But for today’s card I used another little die which can be combined with FANCY SCALLOPED CIRCLE die set. It’s a half oval die for creating peek-a-boo elements on the cards 🙂 This little die is a part of ELEGANT SCALLOP OVAL die set.

I cut out a door in the pot and stamped one more sentiment inside of the pot. Also I add cute smiling face on the lid and tiny heart on the bottom. This tiny heart die you can find in the POTTED PLANTS coordinating die set.

For the card background I picked ivory color cardstock and made a dry embossing on it using GRID COVER die, it works fine for wall imitation on the cards.

Hope you like this card!

Thanks for stopping by!

No Line Coloring with Laura

January 16, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with a card I created with the no-line coloring technique and the Kind Bouquet stamp set. Don’t forget to check out the video at the end of this post, if you are interested in seeing the step by step tutorial.

I started my card by stamping the beautiful roses in the Kind Bouquet stamp set with no-line ink and I colored them with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. I then used the Kind Bouquet Dies to cut it out.

For the card background I die cut some Bristol Smooth cardstock with the Darling Ribbon& Dotted Frames dies and I blended Harmony Ink in the color Spa Blue over the entire background, using my Studio Katia Blending Brushes. Next I layed the Autumn Leaves stencil over my background. I blended Harmony Ink in the color Lagoon over the panel and then coated the area with a clear glitter gel.

I created a second panel out of some vanilla cardstock using the Dotted Patterns Set 3 dies. I used another die in the set to also cut out an oval opening in the center.
For my sentiment I used the hello die in the Fancy Scallop Circle set and I die cut some Neenah Solar White cardstock. I glued everything to a top-folding A2 card base and that finished off my card.

Don’t forget that there is a video tutorial for you, sharing how to make this floral card with the no-line coloring technique. And make sure to subscribe to the Studio Katia channel for more inspiration!

Thank you all for stopping by and have a great day!

Video: Multi technique card with Galina

January 13, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Today I want to show a card with a lot of cardmaking techniques. For this card I used cute little stamp set – POTTED PLANTS and FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES.

How I made this card you can watch in this video or HERE (Studio Katia Youtube channel)

For this card I decided to create my own pot for the stamped plants. I used smallest dies from the FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES to die cut a half of a circle and in the center of it cut out a holes with other die from this set. I cross stitched the die cut with a green thread and got this nice decorated pot. I colored plants with Copic markers and attached them abow the pot.

For the card background I used stencil technique. I applied Lucky clover and Pine Needled Distress inks throught the AUTUMN LEAVES STENCIL with INK BLENDER BRUSHES. This brushes helps to get nice crisp image through the stencil.

Behind the pot I placed a piece of the vellum. I attached it to the glitter frame using double sided adhesive. I stamped the sentiment directly on the vellum. For stamping on the vellum or acetate sheet it’s better to use an archival\permanent inks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Birthday Card with Olga

January 6, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hello, friends! Olga is here.

Today I’m sharing a festive Birthday card featuring just a bit of stencilling, blending and heat embossing.

I used a fabulous Autumn Leaves Stencil. I think this design can be used not only for autumn cards, but also for winter, spring and summer ones. Everything will depend on your choice of color. For my card, I mixed blue and turquoise shades of ink, because my card is dedicated to a person born in winter.

I sarted to work on this card by making background. And it’s so simple! I just blend inks making the color lighter towards the center onto the light blue cardstock. Next I applied Nuvo glitter paste through the stencil onto my panel.

Then I created a tag that can hold a standard gift tag. For this I used new Slider Tag Die. Here I heat embossed the sentiment using Birthday Greetings stamp set.

I adhered the background panel to A2 white card base, I foam mounted the gift tag panel over it and tied the string on the tag. Also to embellish the card I used Gold Foil Pearls.

I hope you will give this idea a try. Have fun!

Belated birthday card with Kaja

January 2, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts here with you today and I must admit that I have made one new year’s ewe promise this year and it’s to send out more cards. This is something I have been realy bad at in 2019, so I quickly made this card:

I started out by coloring a flower from You’re so sweet stamp set. I used ZIG markers which are waterbased and using waterbased markers makes making shadows on a flower super easy.

Then, I used the Autumn leaves stencil with dark green ink that matches the leaves of the flower. Then, I used a green that is a bit lighter and ink blended over it to get a cool two color background. For the ink blending I used the new Studio Katia brushes which makes it super easy to blend.

I wanted to keep the card simple, so I just added a sentiment from the Birthday greetings stamp set.

Then, I placed everything on a card base using the Studio Katia glue along with some double sided foam tape.

The card was finished quickly and I plan to send it out soon! Hopefully I can keep my new year’s ewe promise this year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE!

Winter Shaker Card with Laura

December 20, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with a Winter shaker card featuring the Ponsettia Border and the Holiday Village stamp set. At the end of this post, you will also find a video tutorial, showing how I made it.

For the window of my shaker I used the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames Dies. I also used the Simple Dotted Borders on the cardstock panel that I die cut out of the center to create a hill.
I blended Spectrum Noir Silver Midas ink on the hill and I used Rose Gold and Pink Lace on the shaker background. These are metallic pigment inks that will add a shiny finish to my card.

To fill up my shaker I used a mix of Studio Katia embellishments: I used Frost Glitter, Sparkle Glitter, Silver Polka Sequins, Crystal Clear Confetti and Majestic Confetti.
As I mentioned, the images I used are from the Poinsettia Border and Holiday Village stamp sets. I colored them with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies.

For my sentiment I used the banner die in the Darling Ribbon&Frames dies. I stamped one of the greetings in the Holiday Village stamp set with Silver Midas ink and blended the edges with Pink Lace Midas Ink.

Don’t forget to check out the video tutorial, if you are interested in the step by step process for this winter shaker card!

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

Simple birthday card with Kaja

December 18, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts here with you today and I made a really simple birthday card this time. Why? I must admit that I was busy making Christmas cards these last few months, so it’s about time I make some birthday cards that I can send around.

This is what I made:

First, I stamped out the background using the Floral garden set and a purple ink pad. I stemped it out towards the top part of a card, leaving the bottom empty.

Then, I did some ink blending using the new Studio Katia brushes. I made the top part as dark as possible and then make a smooth trasition to white at the bottom which is super easy with these brushes.

Once the background was done I stamped out the ‘Happy birthday to you’ sentiment that can be found in It’s your birthday stamp set. I used black ink to make it super bold and easy to read.

I popped the sentiment up using the double sided tape and then added some finishing touches using Black crystals.

Hope you like this simple idea for a birthday card. I know I will be making many more of this kind in different colors.

Hugs,

Kaja

Peaceful Poinsettias

December 17, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today sharing some last minute holiday card inspiration! I have really been enjoying finding ways to add pops of red into my Christmas cards, as it’s not normally a color to which I’d gravitate, but there’s something about a beautiful, crisp red that just screams Christmas to me! For today’s card, I’ve kept my color scheme relatively simple, with a light gray as the primary color and a few pops of red to keep things interesting. Let’s get started with the details!

I began by die cutting the Mini Polka Dot cover plate die from some pale gray cardstock, then backed it with some bright red cardstock. The contrast between the two colors is fantastic! It would have looked beautiful with some red glitter or foil cardstock behind it, too!

Next, I stamped the main image from the lovely Poinsettia Border stamp using white pigment ink on some more gray cardstock. I then used my Caran D’ache Luminance colored pencils to do some no line coloring, keeping the red, gray, and white theme running throughout the bouquet. I die cut it with the coordinating die.

Next, I red heat embossed a greeting from Poinsettia Border on some more gray cardstock, trimming it down to a small rectangular sentiment strip. I mounted the die cut floral bouquet on a Dotted Oval, die cut from some heavyweight vellum. I love using basic vellum die cuts to soften a patterned background! Finally, I adhered all of the die cut pieces on the card front using foam adhesive for lots of extra dimension.

Well, that’s all for me today! I hope you’re past the holiday hustle and bustle and can just sit and enjoy the pleasant aspects of the season. If not, I hope your to-do list grows shorter by the day! Thanks so much for stopping by today, and have a marvelous holiday!

Merry Christmas card by Olga

December 14, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! Olga Moss here with some Christmas inspiration. Christmas is almost on the threshold, and therefore we are all in the midst of preparations for the holidays. But don’t forget about to review the past year, too. Have you been able to accomplish everything planned? One of the most important points of my cardmaking life was – to start actively using forgotten watercolors. And I succeeded! I’m pleased with myself. So today I have this Christmas card with a magnificent bouquet of poinsettias!

For this cars I used our POINSETTIA BORDER stamp set with POINSETTIA BORDER DIES. I started by ink blending Seedless Preserves Distress ink in the upper left corner and the lower right corner. Then, I stamped the large flower image from the set onto watercolor paper and coloured it using Kuretake watercolor paint.

Once I finished my watercolouring each piece, I let it air dry and die cut it out once it was completely dry.

I set the flowers aside while I worked on the background. I stamped the sentiment using Archival Jet Black Ink. Next, I added lots of splatters with white gouache onto both, my background and the flowers.

I wanted to add texture to the background. For that I used CONFETTI STENCIL with Nuvo Glimmer Paste. This game not only nice texture, but also fun sparkles.

I hope you enjoyed the inspiration I had for you today. Thank you for stopping by!

Merry Christmas with Natalia

October 24, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there! It’s Natalia here. Today I want to share with you my card using beautiful POINSETTIA TRIMMINGS stamp set.

First, I stamped gorgeous image from the POINSETTIA TRIMMINGS stamp set, colored it with copic markers and cut out with scissors. I decorated the middle of the flowers with ARCTIC BREEZE PEARLS.

Using frame die from DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3 I die cut out a rectangle with rounded corners out of light grey cardstock. I heat embossed the poinsettias from MERRY POINSETTIA set with white powder.

Next, I die cut out word Merry out of gold glittered cardstock using a die from MERRY POINSETTIAmatching dies. I heat embossed word Christmas on the stripe of vellum from POINSETTIA TRIMMINGS stamp set.
