Hello everyone,

it’s Maria from @a_country_home. I’m very delighted to be a guest on the Studio Katia Blog today. A big thank you to Katia and Liliya for inviting me! I create three cards for today. It’s not a secret that I prefer watercoloring to other medium, it is the best way for me to relax after a long day at work. And here is what I came up with.

For my first card I die cut two panels using rectangle die from the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames Creative Dies. Then I die cut one of the panels again with the decorative frame which is included in the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames Creative Dies. Next, I stamped beautiful Lovely Blooms Stamp Set on both the frame and the panel. The Original Misti Stamping Tool is very helpful for this. Then I watercolored flowers and leaves and stamped the sentiment from the Birthday Greetings Stamp Set. When both panels were dry I adhered them together using foam tape for dimension. Then I mounted them on a light grey card base and embellished the card with the Cupid’s Kiss Crystals and May Crystals.

For my second card I used again the Lovely Blooms Stamp Set. I stamped it on a piece of water color cardstock with a light brown ink to create a watercolor card in no-line coloring technique. After all blossoms and leaves were colored I masked them and added some ink splatters in black. I used again one of the awesome Sentiments from the Birthday Greetings Stamp Set and stamped it on black cardstock then heat white embossed. I mounted my water colored panel on a dark grey cardbase using foam tape. Then I added the Sentiment also using foam tape. Some of the beautiful Cupid’s Kiss Crystals gives the final touch.

My third card I created with the cute Kobi Bearing Gifts Stamp Set in combination with the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames Creative Dies. I stamped the tiny stamps all over a white die cut panel using beige ink. Then I stamped sweet Kobi with all his gifts on a piece of watercolor cardstock. I colored the gifts in all rainbow colors, such fun. I die cut Kobi with coordinating dies. I mounted the stamped panel onto a kraft card base, added Kobi in the middle and heat embossed the sentiment from the Birthday Greetings Stamp Set on a piece of pink cardstock using white embossing powder. I embellished the card with some April Crystals.

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

Framed No line Lovely Blooms Watercoloring with Ilda

June 21, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Other

Hello Everyone!

Ilda here from I Love Doing All things crafty and I’m back today with a no line watercoloring project featuring the Lovely Blooms from the latest Release.

I loved how the coloring of these flowers turned out so I just had to frame it! Difficult to see from these photos, but the gentle shimmer is so pretty in real life.

I began by stamping the Lovely Blooms onto watercolor paper using fadeout ink. I then took the time to watercolor these blooms using some Shimmery Watercolor crayons that I had picked up from Michael’s so long ago and hadn’t used them, so it was about time. To turn the crayons into watercolors, I rubbed the crayon onto a watercolor dish, added a drop of water and mixed the pigment with the brush until I was happy with color and consistency of the watercolor.

I’m not going to lie, this watercoloring was a bit time consuming but I really did enjoy the process as I learn a little more each time and I find it very relaxing. Plus, I have been participating in Kathy Racoosins #thedailymarker challenge and this piece, of course, is one of my challenge pieces. I guess you only get better if you keep practicing and for me, I still trying to learn how to use all the different media I have 😉

Other than adding highlights with a white gelly roller pen and some glossy accents to a few of the flowers, that was it for this project. Sometimes less is more. Of course, this could easily still be turned into a card in the future.

Thank you all for joining me today, I hope this Framed No line Watercoloring of the Lovely Blooms with Watercolor Crayons was inspiring for you.

Have a lovely day!

Lovely Blooms and Stitched Background Card with Dana

June 20, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hello everyone!
It’s Dana from Dana G.Crafts and I’m back with another post for Studio Katia. For today’s project I’ve picked 3 products from our latest release and here is what I came up with.

To begin, I stamped Studio Katia Lovely Blooms onto bristol paper with Versafine Onyx Black. I colored it with Zig Markers using waterbrush and cut it out with scissors. I took a piece of black cardstock and stamped a sentiment from Studio Katia Japanese Peony with Versamark Ink. Then, I white heat embossed it with heat tool and let it aside to get into next step.

Next, I sandwiched Studio Katia Halftone Dots Cover, A2 sized white card stock and embossing pad between cutting pads and ran them through my die cutting machine to dry emboss it. This is my favorite technique using cover die and I love how it turned out nicely at this time as well.

After dry embossing, I die cut it again with Studio Katia Stitch Borders. Actually, I’m all thumbs when it comes to needle and this is the reason why I haven’t tried any stitching to my cards. But Studio Katia Stitch Borders has various size of stitch panels and borders and it encouraged me to do it! It was big challenge for me, but back stitching with pretty ombre pink threads was not too bad for my first time:)

I mounted flower bouquet and sentiment as shown with glue tape. I then embellished it with Studio Katia Summer Fusion and finished off this card.

Hope you enjoyed this card and got some inspiration. Thank you for joining me today!

Rainbow flowers with Kristina

June 19, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Floral Cards

Hello everyone! Kristina here and today I want to share with you my rainbow watercolor card using Lovely Blooms stamp set.

First, I stamped the beautiful floral cluster from Lovely Blooms stamp set onto watercolor paper with black waterproof ink.

Then I watercolored the image in “wet on wet” technique with distress inks and splattered some inks over the image using wet brush.

Once it’s was dry, I’ve added the highlights with white gel pen and stamped the sentiment with black ink. At last I adhered my card on a white card base with foam tape and finished with sparkling sequins.

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

Peony for a Friend with Galina

May 30, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards

Hello everyone! Galina here and today I want to show you a card for a friend using Japanese Peony Stamp Set.

For this card I heat embossed a peony image using black embossing powder with glitter. I colored the image with copic markers and added some dots with golden gel pen.

For the background I combined craft and white cardstock. Using Dotted Patterns: Loops die I cut out a white panel and adhered it onto a craft cardstock. For the sentiment I used a die from Spring Bouquet Coordinating Dies set. I cut out word friend from white cardstock four times and one from gold cardstock and glued them all together to create dimensional golden die cut.

To embelish my card I used new colorful crystals. I adhered them using strong liquid adhesive. And my card is done.

Have a great day!

Galina

With Love – Soft Looking Floral Card with Laura

May 14, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here with a floral card I made using the Spring Bouquet Clear Stamps as the focal point. I wanted to go for a soft look on this card, so I stamped my images with gray ink and colored them with Spectrum Noir markers. I then die cut them with the Spring Bouquet Coordinating Dies.

For my card base I cut some vanilla cardstock with one of the dies in the Dotted Patterns: Darling Ribbon Creative Dies. I also used the Dotted Patterns: Loop and the Dotted Patterns: Fancy Circle Creative Dies to cut some gray cardstock. I used these elements to frame and accent the floral image.

I decorated the circular frame with some Golden Copper Sequins and moved on to the sentiment. The word “with” comes from the Giving Thanks Clear Stamps, and the die that cuts the word “love” is the Spring Bouquet Coordinating Dies. I adhered everything to an A2 card base, and that finished off my card.

And that’s it for today! I really hope you like this card, and I hope I inspired you to create with the gorgeous Spring Bouquet Clear Stamps. Thank you all so much for stopping by, and have a great day!

Floral card | Galina Filippenko

May 11, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, New Release

Hello everyone! Galina here and today I want to show you a card with beautiful Japanese Peony Stamp Set.

I started by heat embossing a flower with white embossing powder on white cardstock and colored it using peach and mint colors of my Copic markers. I cut a rectangular panel out of ivory cardstock and die cut a window in it using the biggest die from Dotted Patterns: Set 2 to make a frame.

I die cut peony flower using coordinating die and foam mounted it onto a card base inside my frame. I let one of the flowers overlap the frame. I stamped a sentiment with brown archival ink and cut it using coordinating die. I afhered it to the biggest flower using glue dots.

Hope you like this card! Have a great day.

Watercolour Japanese Peony with Erum

May 10, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hi there! Erum here with a card featuring the beautiful Japanese Peony Stamp Set!

This is everyone’s favourite stamp set! Who doesn’t like to have a huge flower in their stash?

I made a video for this too but sadly my cell phone stopped recording halfway so I had to discard it.

For my background, I have used the Confetti Creative Stencil. I placed it on my card front and used black gesso. While the gesso was still wet, I poured black glitter over it. This looks so good in person.

For my flower, I stamped it on watercolour paper with waterproof ink and coloured it with distress reinkers. After I was done, I die cut it using the coordinating die.

In the end, I heat embossed my sentiment on black with white and popped it up on the card front, partially covering the flower.

I hope you liked my card. I am loving this black and white with pops of colour!

Thank you for stopping by everyone!

Floral Card with Svetlana

May 9, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hello! Svetlana here and today I want to show you a floral card using Spring Bouquet Stamp Set.

I stamped the image, colored it with distress markers and die cut it with coordinating die. I cut an oval out of black cardstock using a die from Dotted Ovals set. This will be my vase for the bouquet. I scored the oval to add some interest and texture. I added some splatter onto white card base using black spray. Once it was dry I foam mounted flower and vase onto the card base. I added sentiment and few clear drops for a finishing touch.
