Watercolor Valentine’s Day Card with Dana

/ 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.

I mounted watercolor panel onto A2 sized baby pink card stock and popped up scalloped one using foam tape. Then, I arranged alphabets using glue.
To finish, I white heat embossed a sentiment from GIFT TAG GREETINGS: VALENTINES.

Hope you enjoyed this card. Thank you so much for stopping by and happy crafting!

xoxo,

Dana

Birthday Wishes with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I made a bold glittery card that is actually really easy to make! Take a look:

 

I decided to go full glittery today, so I started by cutting out a piece of silver glitter paper. I cut it down to a size that is slightly smaller than the card base, which ensured that there will still be enough contrast on the card.

Then, I stamped out a floral image from Kind bouquet stamp set in black Copic friendly ink. First, I wanted to use red for the blooms, but I felt like it would be too Christmassy, so I ended up using dark blue shades. To make the coloring easier I used the no blend technique, where all you do is apply three shades of colors without blending.

 

I used the same coloring technique for the leaves, the only difference is that I used green shades for them.

The bloom is big enough that fills quite a lot of the background, so I decided to add a small sentiment that won’t cover too much of the remaining glitter. I went with ‘Birthday wishes’ stamp that can be found in Blooming bunch stamp set. To make it stand out, but still correspond nicely to the card, I used black ink on a piece of white paper.

I positioned the sentiment towards the right bottom side and the bouquet towards the left bottom side and glued everything together using Studio Katia glue.

That’s how simple this card is! Thank you so much for joining me! Let me know if you like making glittery cards or not. I must say that I usually forget about glitter, but when I use it I always love the result!

Hugs,

Kaja

Hey lovelies it’s Tracy here with you today

I hope 2021 is being kind to you all so far ? Now the festive season is over I need to start working on birthday cards for this year and couldn’t resist using my favourite floral set Japanese Peony, along with my favourite stencil Brush stroke waves

I started off by heat embossing the main image and two of the leaves onto some watercolour card, I wanted a gold theme so I used Simon Says Stamp fine detail gold powder.
I then used Spectrum Noir Aqua pens to do some basic watercolouring on all the peace’s and left to one side to dry.
I cut a piece of watercolour card to A2 size and taped the stencil to the card. I used Nuvo Glimmer paste and applied going from one side of the card to the other with a pallet knife giving a faded effect going across the card.
I then left this to dry overnight

I then used the matching dies to cut the floral pieces out and using foam tape I arranged them on the card, I also heatt embossed a sentiment onto some black card stock and at this point decided to add some black ink splatter, once I was happy with the whole arrangement I adhered everything down and used a black card base to tie it all together and added some Onyx crystals to finish.

Really happy with how this turned out and hope you like it and it’s given you some inspiration.
Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have an amazing day and happy crafting.

Hello everyone, it’s Galina.

Today im going to show you how to create shiny crystal frame using small dies and your favorite crystal embellishments.

How I made this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia’s Youtube chanel.

I cut out a white panel using Dotted die set 3. I applied few colors of ink on it. I used blender brushes to apply light shades of each color. If you want to get a brighter background – add a second layer of ink or apply inks with hard hand and pick a lot of ink on your brush.

Next I cut out 3 windows using a small hexagon die. Next I applied a small amount of liquid glue close to the cut edge and then placed the biggest crystals. I combined pink, green and blue transparent crystals.

I heat embossed flowers on a piece of vellum and attached it behind the card panel. I heat embossed a sentiment on the black cardstock and cut out with a coordinating stripe die. I foam mount it under the die cut windows.

Also, I listed below some other little dies, which you can use for this technique.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Happy Holidays Set with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello, friends. Olga here to share with you a small festive series with poinsettias from POINSETTIA BORDER stamp set. When I sat down to color these gorgeous flowers, I realized that I could not simply make one card. So I made a souvenir shaker magnet, a gift tag and some beautiful wonderful stickers that can be used to decorate envelopes, or be used to secure wrapping paper on the gifts.

First, I stamped a lot of poinsettias on coloring paper and on sticker paper and colored all the flowers with alcohol markers. It took me a while, but it was so much fun. I die cut out two poinsettia borders for the card using POINSETTIA BORDER DIES.

Next, I created a bright green background. I wanted to add snow to my background, so I used CONFETTI STENCIL and white embossing paste for that. I heat embossed a sentiment from the GIFT TAG GREETINGS: WINTER stamp set with golden embossing powder. With all the pieces ready, I could now assemble the card. To embellish the card I used GOLD SPARKLE CRYSTALS and ICY SPARKLE CRYSTALS.

To make the stickers I used simple circle die and small dotted circle from the FANCY CIRCLE die set.

For the heart shaped shaker magnet I used FANCY SCALLOP HEARTS DIES. I filled the shaker with the IRIDESCENT BUBBLES, GOLD DUST seed beads and Green seed beads. I used image from Poinsettia Border for the background of my shaker.

After making the heart shaker, I had a leftover negative die cut, so I decided to use it to make a tag. To decorate it I die cut a mini scallop heart tag and glued it onto the negative die cut from scallop heart. I embellished the tag with GOLD SPARKLE CRYSTALS and ICY SPARKLE CRYSTALS.

This whole set looks very bright and elegant. I am sure that whoever would receive this, will love all the details of this beautiful set.

Thanks for stopping by!

Quick and Elegant Christmas Card by Tracey

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi crafty peeps, it’s Tracey here today and I have a really quick and easily reproducible Christmas card to share. We are getting to crunch time now and it seems no matter how early I start making Christmas cards in the year, I never seem to have enough.

I used the Poinsettia Border stamp set to create my card today using some coloured cardstock, embossing and ink blending. Simple design but also very elegant.

I started with a 5 1/4″ x 4″ piece of red cardstock. I used my anti static tool all over the red cardstock so that I could prevent stray embossing powder sticking where it shouldn’t. Next I stamped and white embossed the poinsettia border in the upper left corner of my card. The sentiment from the same set was built with the “Merry” script stamps and Christmas in the sans serif font from the same in the bottom right.

My very simple card design was pretty, but it seemed to be missing something. I added some dimension by ink blending Black Soot Distress Oxide ink in from the corners on the red embossed panel using Studio Katia Blending Brushes. I used a very light hand to build to shading up slowly. Remember to can always add more but you can’t take it away.

To add a bit of sparkle to the front of the card I sprayed it with Sparkle Shimmer Spritz. It didn’t want to smile for the camera, but trust me it added a bit of elegance. To add a bit more to the card front without going overboard I added some Studio Katia Wine Berry Pearls over top of the berries on the poinsettia using Studio Katia glue. I used the two smallest pearl sizes and grouped them in three.

Thank you so much for stopping in today. Good luck getting those last minute cards done!
