Rainbow stamping and stitching

July 29, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards

Hello everyone!

Galina is here. I want to show you how I made a fun stitched project and I used Polkadot cover plate die, you can use aregular dies for stitching like STITCH BORDERS die set, but for my stitching desig nI want to use cover die because I don’t want to leave empty holes on a paper.

How to make this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia chanel.

I cut out two borders using a die from SIMPLE DOTTED BORDERS 1 and a thin die with holes fromSTITCH BORDERS die set. Also I cut out a small white panel using Polkadot cover die.

I stitched on the paper using multicolored cotton thread. You can create your own multicolored thread by coloring it with watercolor paints or distress inks or alcohol markers. In the video I showed the process and my results.

I stamped multicolored floral images using both stamps from Peony trimming stamp set and a few distress oxide inks. I embellished the card with IRIDESCENT BUBBLES large and tiny sizes.

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.

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.

https://youtu.be/uAbwLZqJQjo

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!
