Shark-tastic sunset card with Galina

April 23, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Galina and I’m ready to share with you my new card. I created a romantic card with sunset and two jawsome sharks 🙂

I cut out two white card panels. On first one I applied blue and yellow distress inks and Nuvo glitter paste through the Wave Stencil to create a real ocean :). To create yellow sunset I applied dark yellow color through the Underwater Sun Rays stencil. Inside of the second card panel I cut out a rectangle window using Window die.

I adhere card panel onto card base using foam adhesive. To embelish my card I decied to use few images from Jawsome Stamp set. I stamped deck and leaves with Memento black ink and colored my images with Copic markers.

At last, I stamped a sentiment under the window with ocean. I used sentiment stamp from Jawsome stamp set.

I hope you like this shiny card and will try to make your own!

Have a great day!

Bold, Red, Japanese Peony with Erum

April 22, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi! Erum here today with a floral card featuring the Japanese Peony Stamp and Large Polka Stencil.

I started by stamping the large peony with alcohol marker proof ink. Next, I used Artist Markers to colour the image.

I also used a white gel pen to add detail to the flower center and it looks really pretty in person.

For my card front, I used the Large Polka Stencil and a mini blending brush to add ombre inking through the stencil with Black Soot distress ink.

To finish, I adhered the flower with foam tape and popped a sentiment label.

I hope you like my card, I love how it turned out!

Thank you for stopping by.

Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today sharing a pretty in pink card with lots of texture and color. It finally feels like spring here in the Midwest, so I thought I’d celebrate with some pretty pink flowers! Let’s get started with the details.

I began by stamping and die cutting the blooms from You’re So Sweet using Copic-friendly black ink onto some white card stock, then colored it with my Copic markers and die cut them.

On the white A2 card base, I used the Large Polka Stencil and some pretty pink ink to add a bit of pattern on the background. I die cut a vellum oval using the Nested Ovals dies, as well as a black Thank You die cut using the Mini Thank You dies. I arranged the flowers over the oval, then adhered them to the oval and added some foam adhesive behind them, hiding the adhesive behind the die cuts.

After I’d added all of the die cuts to the card front, I added some beautiful Cupid’s Kiss Crystals to add some sparkle, and a bit of Glossy Accents to the die cut sentiment to make it stand out even more.

Well, that’s all for me today! I hope you’re having an awesome week. Thanks for stopping by!

Guest Designer | Floral Wreath with Svitlana

April 13, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Guest Designer

Hello crafty friends!

It’s Svitlana here. I’m so excited to guest design on Studio Katia blog today!

I want to share with you an idea for a Mother’s Day card (because it’s THAT season).

I fell in love with the new Floral Wreath Stamp Set and wanted to put it to use as soon as I got it.

I started by stamping the wreath onto a Neenah Solar White Cardstock panel using a COPIC-friendly ink. I was using my mini MISTI tool for stamping and after making the impression I left the stamp mounted to its lid.

Then I colored the wreath with COPICs markers. I choose blue and gray color scheme for my coloring. It’s not realistic, but I think it looks very cool.

When I finished coloring I placed the panel back into the MISTI and stamped again with the black ink. I did it to make the outlines darker and crisper.

Next I die-cut a circle out of the wreath and fussy cut it using my scissors.

I make a vertical side folding A2 card out of a Neenah Solar White Cardstock and blended the Salty Ocean Oxide Ink onto it covering the whole surface. Next I placed the Grid Stencil on top and blended the Salty Ocean Distress Ink through it. Using the same colors of both oxide and distress inks I achieved the perfect match of blended layers.

To add some interest to the background I added some water splatters, blotted them and then added splatters of white and black sprays. Next I foam mounted the wreath onto the card.

For the sentiment I die-cut two words out of white using the dies from the Best Ever Die Set. And I white embossed a word MOM on black using a stamp from the Best Ever Stamp Set. After white embossing I cut it out kind of following the word shape, I didn’t feel like having just a simple stripe with sharp corners.

I popped all the elements of the sentiment onto the card and finished it off by adhering several Gray Clouds Crystals.

I hope you like this idea and will give it a try. I’m a big lover of blue color, but this design can be implemented in any other color wave.

Have a wonderful day!

Floral Wreath Shaker Card with Liliuska

April 12, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Shaker Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello Everyone! Liliuska here and today I’d have a shaker card to share with you. I made it using gorgeous FLORAL WREATH stamp set.

I started with stamping the wreath image with a very light ink, as I wanted to avoid black lines for this card. I coloured the image with coloured pencils and fussy cut it with scissors.

I die cut out a panel out of white cardstock using largest die from DARLING RIBBON & FRAMES and ran it through my die cutting machine making with an embossing mat and a BRUSH STROKE WAVES STENCIL to do dry embossing. I like that it added just a little bit of texture to my card and didn’t overwhelm the background, as I wanted to keep the focus on the coloured image.

To make a shaker I needed to cut out a window in the wreath image and was pleased to discover that a circle die from DOTTED PATTERNS SET 1 matches perfectly!

Next, I used Studio Katia GLUE to adhere acetate to the back of the wreath image. I have been using it for shakers lately and love how well it adheres acetate to the paper. I filled the shaker with GOLD FOIL CONFETTI and GOLD CRYSTALS. I used GOLD FOIL CONFETTI to embellished my card a little as well.

All I needed now was a sentiment. I die cut it out of white and gold glitter cardstock and glued together a little off so that the white was visible under the gold and would give the word thanks a little bit of a shadow. I adhered the sentiment on top of the shaker window using Studio Katia GLUE, it is my favourite liquid glue!

Hope you enjoyed my card today. Have a wonderful weekend!

You’re So Sweet Watercolour Card with Erum

April 10, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hello!

I have a watercolour card to share today featuring the You’re So Sweet Stamp Set.

I heat embossed the images in white on watercolour cardstock. I used watercolour brush markers to colour the images and also the background.

First, I applied a colour wash of one colour on the image and then let it dry a bit. Then I went in again to add more detail by adding concentrated pigment. This is easy watercolouring. Just by adding a darker pigment, you end up with good detail on the image.

For the background, I just used water and diluted pigment and added it as stippling. Since I had a lot of water on my brush, the stippling was more splotchy than dotted.

Once the watercolour was dry, I added fine black paint splatters and stamped the sentiment.

To finish, I adhered several clear dots.

That is all from my side today, I hope you liked my card!

Mixed Media Tropical Card with Isha

April 9, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Isha Gupta here with you today sharing a mixed media card using some new release products. I used the stencil from previous releases but that’s one of my most favorite one.
This new Aloha Stamp Set screams tropical and it immediately gave me this visual scene.

I started by creating my background panel. I took a watercolor mat and sponged some ink to the bottom part. I then used the Brushed Stroke Waves stencil and sponged some more ink through it. Now, I added a bit of texture paste through the stencil, removed the stencil and added some more texture paste to the top of the panel. Let it dry.
I then added a little pink and yellow color wash to the background, flicked some water and let the panel dry fully. Meanwhile, I stamped the floral cluster and a few leaves from the Aloha stamp set and colored them using watercolors. I then die-cut the images using the coordinating dies.

I adhered the panel onto a pink cardbase and all the images onto the panel. To finish off, I used the Blue Sky Heaven sequins from the newest release. I love the mix of various shades in here. Lastly, if you love adding sequins or gems to your projects, you MUST try and use Triangle tray….it makes using embellishments and putting them back in the small pouches so easy …HEAVEN…lol

Hope you enjoyed my card. Happy crafting!

The Best Mom Ever Card with Dana

April 8, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hello, everyone!
It’s Dana here and I’m sharing no line watercoloring card featuring some of our new release today. Let’s get started!

I began by stamping Studio Katia Aloha Stamp Set images using Antique Linen Distress Ink onto hot pressed watercolor paper. I die cut them out using Coordinating Dies and watercolored them using paint brush.

After it dried, I applied Nuvo Crystal Drops Gloss Simply White and Dandelion Yellow to each stamens.

Next, I created 3 1/2 X 8 1/2 kraft card base and trimmed down bistol paper to smaller size than card base. I lightly sponged each corner using Bundled Sage and Worn Lipstick Distress Oxide Inks. I then stenciled both sides with same inks using Studio Katia Grid Stencil.

For sentiment, I die cut two bigger ones from black card stock using Studio Katia Best Ever Coordinating Dies. Then, I white heat embossed a *mom* from Studio Katia Best Ever Stamp Set onto a piece of black paper. I die cut it using Studio Katia Labels Coordinating Dies.

To finish, I popped up floral images using foam tape and mounted others as shown.

Thank you so much for joining me today. Happy crafting!

Sunset Colored Peony… with Emily

April 3, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Shaker Cards, Thank You Cards

Hi there! Emily Midgett back with you today to share a project combining some old and some new products from the Studio Katia lineup. Now, if you’ve ever visited my blog, you’ll notice something…. flowers and coloring are my jam. I can’t get enough of pretty blooms (which Studio Katia luckily has in spades), nor can I get enough of numerous coloring mediums. I am fortunate to own many different watercoloring mediums, including the Ph Martins Liquid Watercolors, which I’ve used on today’s project. I painted this peony during the latest Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge, and couldn’t wait to use it on a project! Let’s get started with the details.

I began by stamping and clear embossing the main peony image from Japanese Peony onto some Arches cold press watercolor paper. I then used my Ph Martins liquid watercolors to add shades of coral, pink, and fuchsia purple to the peony, first by wetting the peony completely with clean water, then dropping in very diluted color for my first “layer” of color. (I am all about layers!) After the first layer had dried, I then went back in with more concentrated watercolor to add shading and shadows. Having that first layer of multiple mottled colors helps to add some variety and uniqueness to the image.

Next, I worked on my background. I began by blending two A2 sized panels using bright fuchsia, hot pink, and deep coral inks (trying to match the colors used on the flower itself). I die cut one of the blended panels using the new Grid Cover die, backing it with some acetate and foam tape to create a shaker. I then filled my shaker with Luminous Lavender Flowers, Iridescent Dust Seed Beads, Luminous Lavender Fusion sequins, and adhered it to the other blended panel.

After my shaker had been completed, it was time to add the flower and a greeting to the front. I added the Japanese Peony to the bottom of the card front, trimming off some of the foliage that hung over the edge and placing it around the top of the peony (waste not, want not!), then white embossed a greeting from Cup of Thanks onto some strips of black card stock and added them to the card front using liquid adhesive.

Well, that’s all for me today! I hope you enjoyed a bit of summer in my post today…. I’m so enjoying these longer days with more sunlight!! Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a marvelous day!

Floral Wreath with Erum

March 29, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hiya everyone! Erum here with a pretty card to share featuring the beautiful Floral Wreath Stamp Set.

Since the Floral Wreath Stamp is quite large. I kept my card super simple and let the wreath be star of the show.

I heat embossed the image in white and watercoloured the flowers alternating between purple and pink. For the leaves, I chose to go with grey as I was aiming for a very soft look.

Once the watercolour was dry, I fussy cut the image and set it aside.

For the background, I mixed purple and grey watercolours to make a dusty purple colour and added an ombre colour wash which ended up as drips as I progressed from top to bottom.

Once the background was dry, I added fine black paint splatters.

I stamped the “hello” in black and added some faux stitching around it. To finish, I adhered crystals as flower centers from June Crystals and Cupid’s Kiss Crystals.

I love how soft and pretty the card looks! I hope you like it as well.
