Friendship Card with Laura

August 16, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a friendship card I made with the Studio Katia You’re So Ranunculus stamp set and the Chunky Confetti Glitter.

As a first step I stamped the image in the You’re So Ranunculus stamp set with waterproof ink on some Canson XL watercolor cardstock and did some loose watercoloring with Distress Inks.
I used Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon and Mustard Seeds and added two layers of color on each flower to create interest and color variation.
I then used Prismacolor pencils to add some texture and shading. For the pinks flower I used PC929 and PC 1081, for the orange flowers I used PC1033 and PC1034, and for the yellow flowers I used PC1002 and PC1034.

Once I was done coloring I die cut the image with the coordinating dies and started working on my background. I cut some more watercolor cardstock to an A2 size with the Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frame dies and added some splatters to it and to the die cut image using Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Dried Marigold, Ripe Persimmon, Mustard Seeds and Black Soot. I then cut a window on this panel using the Scallop Window creative dies.

For the window background I took some more watercolor cardstock, adhered three strips of double sided adhesive, and coated them with Studio Katia Chunky Confetti Glitter.
I backed the card front with some acetate and used a single layer of foam tape to adhere it over the panel with the glitter stripes.
For the sentiment I used the scripty hello die in the You’re so Ranunculus coordinating dies to cut some black cardstock, and, as a final embellishment, I glued down some Studio Katia Onyx Crystals to the card front.

I also created a video tutorial for this card, that you can watch down below.

And that’s it for today! I really hope you liked this card and enjoyed the video, and I hope I inspired you to create with the beautiful You’re so Ranunculus stamp set.
Thank you all so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Hello! Svetlana here!

Lovely Blooms Shaker Card by Ilda

August 6, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello my Crafty friends and Happy Monday, Ilda here from ilovedoingallthingscrafty!

Today I have a floral shaker card to share with featuring a medley of Studio Katia goodness.

This card features the Lovely Blooms floral stamp that I stamped a few times onto a piece of Bristol Paper using Versafine Black Onyx Ink. I then heat set the ink with some black embossing powder. To color in my flowers, I used Jane Davenport’s Mermaid Markers. I then added black ink splatters all over the finished piece.

Once the coloring was all dry I die cut the panel using the Dotted Pattern Loops Die. I then glued down the circle cut-outs onto the card front, making sure the images aligned properly. Next, I added my acetate sheet to the back of the panel and then using thin strips of foam tape I built up the wells for my shaker crystal bits. Then I placed a sprinkle full of Sparkling Crystal Mix onto each circle and then carefully lined up the top panel with the card base. For my sentiment, I die cut the friend from the Spring Bouquet Die a few times, stacked and glued them together and then added a few layers of black embossing powder to create the shiny finish. I glued the friend to a banner from the Dotted Pattern Set 2 Dies and added it to the front of the card. Finished the card by adding the Oh, Hello from the Best Friends Stamp Set. I also added a black crystal to where the dot of the “i” on the friend would be. And that is pretty much all for this card.

I hope this brightly colored shaker card inspired you today!

Until next time… Happy Crafting!

Pretty Pastel Florals with Erum

August 2, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hi there everyone!

So glad to be back here and I have a floral card to share with you today.

My card features the Japanese Peony Stamp Set which has a gorgeous, large size bloom and several leaves to go with it. For my card today, I stamped this bloom twice and heat embossed it in white. I also stamped quite a few leaves. Next I opted for messy watercolouring. For this, I applied water onto the whole image, dropped in colour and then spread it around. After this first colour wash was slightly dry, I went back in with concentrated colour to add soft details. I didn’t add a very concentrated pigment because I wanted to keep the florals soft and airy so they would give a feel of summer.

After the colour was dry, I went ahead and die cut my images using the coordinating die set. Next, I worked on the card front. I used a very light colour wash of teal blue to make the base for my floral spray. I also added a few black paint splatters and then placed my images.

In the end I popped up a sentiment and some Crystal Clear Fusion.

I hope you liked my card, that is all from my side today.

Birthday card for a crafty friend

June 30, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hello everyone! I want to share with you my card featuring red, blue and white color palette.

I cut a blue panel using doted border die on a top and bottom of a cardstock. I stamped a big flower on a watercolor paper and colored it with distress markers and cut it out using coordinating die. I used just a half of the flower images to embelish my card.

I stamped a sentiment with black ink on a diecut I made using one of the dies from the Dotted Patterns: Scallop Square set. Under this die cut I decieded to add one more sentiment from the same stamp set. But this time I used white embossing powder and my heat gun.

To add more interest to my card I add 5 blue crystals on the bottom of my card panel. I glued them using Tombow liquid glue, when it dried you actually cant see it, the glue become completely transparent, it’s a perfect glue for transparent embellishments.

Red, White and Dreamy Blues with Rubeena

June 29, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards

Hello, friends! Rubeena here from A Rare Ruby. This week’s theme is red, white, and blue, which inspired me to use non-traditional colors for a floral set. Lovely Blooms is one of my favorite sets from the last release so I decided to use it for my project today.

I started by stamping the image with my stamping tool and a Copic-friendly black dye ink. I colored the blooms in shades of red and gray (for the “white” aspect of the theme) and the leaves in shades of blue.

Usually, I add details with a white gel pen, but I colored in a way to leave some negative space for highlights. I love the look, and I just love experimenting with my coloring style. I fussy cut the image and set it aside so I could work on my background.

For the background, I used Yupo paper and blue alcohol inks (Copic markers/refills) to create a messy and dreamy blue look. I love how it turned out. It was completely accidental. Needless to say, my hands were really inky!

I used a sentiment from Birthday Greetings, stamped with clear embossing ink and heat-embossed in white. I trimmed it down and added it vertically to the left of my card. I arranged the blooms on the top right with foam tape. To finish off this dreamy look, I added Iridescent Crystals. This theme challenged me to try different colors for my florals, and I absolutely love how it turned out. What are some of your favorite go-to colors when creating?

Thanks so much for stopping by!
