Love You Tea Card with Dana

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Happy Tuesday, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m back with another no-line watercoloring card today.

To start, I stamped A Cup of Thanks image onto bristol paper using Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Then, I colored a bunch of flowers with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers using waterbrush.

I also used Shinhan watercolor paints for pastel pink in cup handle and saucer. After it dried, I die cut it with A Cup of Thanks Dies. For more details, I added yellow crystal drop to stamen.

Next, I took an A2 sized bristol paper. I ink blended it with some dye inks using Ink Blender Brushes. I then splattered clear water here and there using mini mister spray.

While it dried, I cut window frame from white card stock with Dotted Square Frame Die. I also die cut a sentiment from metallic gold paper using Lovely Words Dies.

Then, I popped up all elements on the background panel using foam tape. As a final touch, I adhered Icy Sparkle Crystals where I wanted them using Glue.

That’s it for today! Thank you so much for stopping by and happy crafting!

No-line coloring with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts here with you today. These days are quite stressful with all the things that are going on, so I decided to relax with some no line coloring.

Take a look at the card that I made:

First, I stamped out the image of the flowers included in the You’re so sweet stamp set. I used watercolored paper and light grey ink, to be able to see the lines nicely. Then, I used my watercolor markers and started coloring the image using red for petals and green for leaves. You can see that the ink with which I stamped the image absorbed some of the color, so the stamped lines are seen in the color of the marker.

When the image was colored in and dry, I used a brush and some green ink to make some splotches in the backround of the flowers. I wanted to add another color, so I used light grey and made some more spashes.

Once everything was dry again, I used the biggerst heart die from the Fancy scallop hearts and die cut the image out. I put the flowers a bit off center – towards the left and cut away the right part of the heart.

For the background, I used kraft paper that goes nicely with the colors used for the coloring. It seemed a bit empty to me, so I went ahead and added some stenceling in the background for which I used light brown ink and Ink splash stencil. Of course I ink blended everything with Studio Katia brushes that are super easy to use!

The last thing I added was the sentiment and I went with a simple one that reads ‘hello’ and can be found in Floral wreath stamp set.

I glued everything together using Studio Katia glue and some foam tape for the sentiment and the card was all finished.

Thank you so much for joining me!

Thinking of You Friend with Tracey

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards, Other

Hi there it’s Tracey back today and I hope that you are staying well and coping with social distancing. I created a card that I hope will bring a smile to a friend that I haven’t been able to see in a while.

I started out by stamping the Peony Trimmings stamp set using black Copic friendly ink, I only stamped the bottom peony panel. The flowers were cut with the co-ordinating Peony Trimmings Creative Dies. I used simple two shade colouring with the following Copic markers: RV52, RV55, YG03, YG17, Y13, Y15

To create the background I used the Heart Fetti Creative Stencil and blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink over the stencil with the Studio Katia blending brushes. Before removing the stencil I went over it again with Moonstone Nuvo Glimmer Paste for some sparkle and texture. The Glimmer Paste is transparent so you can still see the blue hearts through it. Once dry I cut the pretty scalloped rectangle using the Dotted Patterns Set 4 creative die and adhered the peony flowers to the bottom of the scalloped panel with Studio Katia White Foam Tape just above the bottom scallop border

The sentiment is from the Peony Trimmings stamp set and I did a little stamp surgery to create the phrase ‘Thinking of You Friend’. I die cut the sentiment using one of the sentiment strip dies from the Peony Trimmings Creative Dies.

I added the completed scalloped panel to a soft aqua card base also with foam tape. Lots of dimension but still thin enough to send regular mail. To finish the card off I added some Studio Katia Iridescent Snow Crystals. In the photo the crystals appear to be clear, but actually the color changes when seen from different angles. and the match the colour of my flowers perfectly.

Thank you for stopping in today–stay home and please stay safe.

Peony Trimmings Window Shaker Scene Card

Peony Trimmings Window Shaker Scene Card | Studio Katia

Hello, my friends. How are you all doing? I hope you all are hanging in there. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. Besides going to work, I stay at home with the family and try to distract myself as much as possible by crafting, cleaning, baking, helping the kids with school work… I wish I could just sit and relax but I just can’t 🙁

Today’s card was obviously was inspired by our current reality. Most of us are now looking at the world through a window by staying as safe as possible in our homes. I pray we all do our part, so that we can be with each other in person again soon.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I stamped the PEONY TRIMMINGS out and then colored them in using Copic markers. If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen that I colored the peonies during Kathy Racoosin’s last 30-day coloring challenge.

I then used the PEONY TRIMMINGS coordinating dies to cut out the flowers.

Next, I created the shaker window.  I die cut all the pieces form the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 and used most of them to make the window scene. To the center frame, I glued a piece of ACETATE and then added the two inside window frames that I colored with a grey marker.

I then added FOAM TAPE along the edge of the window frame, filled it with SATIN RAINBOW CONFETTI added the cloud-like banners from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 to create a curtain-like design and then closed the shaker up with a piece of cardstock that I had blended with some Atelier Inks from Ink On3 to make it look like a sunrise.

To the card panel, I blended out the brick background using the SQUARE BRICK stencil and Iced Spruce Distress Oxide ink. I then glued the shaker window in the center of the card front and glued the scallop frame to the background. I then glued the peonies onto the card front.

To finish the card off I stamped out the thinking of you sentiment from the PEONY TRIMMINGS and then die cut it out using a banner die from the PEONY TRIMMINGS coordinating dies.

I hope you find this card inspiring. Please stay safe and stay home and keep looking out your windows! As a health care worker, that means so much to me as it increases my chances of also staying safe and keeping my family safe.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting and Stay Healthy!

Happy Birthday with Dana

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards

Happy hump day, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m sharing a floral birthday card with you today.

First, I took a Peony Trimmings Stamp and stamped one image onto hot pressed watercolor paper using Antique Linen Distress Ink.

Then, I started watercoloring the images. I used Daniel Smith Watercolor Paints and watercolor brushes.

Once it dried, I watercolored background with light colors. Then, I splattered watercolor paints and opaque white inks here and there. I then dried my watercolor panel using heat tool.

I heat embossed a sentiment from It’s Your Birthday in gold.

To finish, I added red enamel dots as shown in the picture and mounted watercolor panel onto A2 sized beige cardstock.

Thank you so much for joining me everyone!

Sending you warm hugs and hope you stay safe.

Dana, xoxo

Floral Card with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello friends! Olga is here. Today I want to show you my new card featuring our FLORAL CROSS stamp set in an unusual way.

The stamp has the shape of a cross, and I thought, what if I’ll place the crosses diagonally and connect them. When I did that I got an image of wooden slats that wrap around flowers.

To create this background, I only needed the stamp, my alcohol markers and a black liner. Once I finished colouring my background I stamped the sentiments from the PEONY TRIMMINGS set with Versamark ink and heat embossed it in white embossing powder on a  Lime Green cardstock. Next, I die cut out the sentiments using PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES and foam mounted them on my card.

To embellish the card I used GOLD FEVER CONFETTI.

Hope you will like my idea and will try it yourself. Have a nice day!

This 3 panels had next dimensions: 13.6 x 16.6, 13.6 x 14.6 and 13.6 x 12.6. Panels scored at 3 and 13.6; 2 and 12.6; 1 and 11.6 accordingly and the flaps are glued together after the overlap. Then I diecut windows in decreasing size in the center of each to get more of a tunneled-look to my card. (All dimensions are in cm.)

Placed all the elements on the white paper panels using double-sided foam tape. Heat embossed the sentiment from AND THE FOX SAYS… stamp set using white powder. I decorated everything with EXOTIC ONYX PEARLS.

Partial shaker card using a DOTTED SQUARE FRAME DIE

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards, New Release

Hello everyone! It’s Galina with you today. And I can’t wait to share with you my new card and video. I made a partial shaker card using a DOTTED SQUARE FRAME DIE and FLORAL WREATH stam set.

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

 

I was inspired by color combo of tiny confetti from Studio Katia called RAINBOW DOTS GLITTER. I found in my stash perfectly matched inks and I created a colorful card with a shaker elements. For the ink blending I used distress inks: Picked Raspberry, twisted citron and mermaid lagoon. To create colorful elements on the card you can use copic markers as well, for example this color combo is matched with colors of confetti: YG01, RV55, B05.

To create floral elements I used a big wreath stamp, but I stamped on a small paper squares and I get a single flowers on each square.

I hope you will like this card 🙂 Have a great day!

Floral wreath card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I made a floral card to brighten somebodies day!

Take a look:

Today, it was a beautiful sunny day in Slovenia, so I went outside and I stamped out a Floral wreath stamp that I colored in using watercolor markers. I went with blues and purples for the blooms and green for the leaves.

Next, I trimmer the paper down to a square shape that is slightly smaller than the card base. I put a piece of gray card stock behind it to create a simple backdrop.

Then, I stamped a word ‘sending’ from Japanese peony stamp set in black ink in the right part of the circle. I die cut the word ‘hugs’ from the Lovely words in the same gray card stock I used for the background and the sentiment now reads ‘Sending hugs’.

I glued everything together using Studio Katia glue and foam tape.

Thank you for joining me!
