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!

Just For You with Dana

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Shaker Cards

Happy Monday, everyone!

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

To begin, I stamped Peony Trimmings with copic friendly hybrid ink onto white card stock. I cut it out using Peony Trimmings Dies and craft knife. I then colored them in with copic and alcohol markers and added white dots here and there using white gel pen.

For next step, I die cut cover die from white card stock using Dotted Patterns Set 4. I also die cut shaker window using one of Fancy Scallop Hearts Dies. I then built a shaker with Acetate Sheets, Rainbow Dots Polymer Clay, Blossom Sparkle Crystals, Sparkling Crystals and foam tape. After I mounted light yellow paper onto A2 sized kraft card base, I adhered my shaker on it.

For sentiment, I die cut a banner using Peony Trimmings Dies. I then heat embossed a sentiment from Peony Trimmings in silver.

As a final touch, I popped up all elements using foam tape as shown in the picture.

Hope you enjoyed this card. Thank you so much for joining me today!

Impressed heart die with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have prepared a simple card that futures a technique I haven’t used for a long time. Can you guess which one just by looking at the card?

If you said that I used die to make an impression in the paper you were right! First, I took the heart die from the Fancy scallop hearts die and I put it on the square piece of paper. Then I used the silicone pad along with my diecutting mashine to get it’s impression instead of die cut.

Next, I stamped out the floral image from the You’re so sweet set and I imediately masked it using masking paper that I previously fussy cut in a shape of this flower. Next, I masked off the edges of the square and to do so, I used masking paper from which I die cut a heart. Next, I used Studio Katia brushes to ink blend blue ink from the edges of the heart towards the center. I made sure to leave the center lighter and the edges darker.

Once everything was ink bleneded I removed the masks and colored in the floral image that I previously stamped. I used alcohol markers for it and in the end I added some white gel pen details.

Then, I added the sentiment that reads ‘Just because’ from the same You’re so sweet set. I put it on a white strip and popped it up using foam tape.

The really last thing I added were some clear drops and the card was all finished!

Thank you for joining me!

Happy BEE-day with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards

Hi all! Olga is here.

Today I am sharing a card showcasing HONEY BEES stamp set.

How cute are these bees? This set has several accessories that make it easy to work with. I stamped the images from the set in a black hybrid ink and colored them with copic markers. I stamped and colored several little flowers knowing that they will come in handy when building this card.

I used new DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 to create a perfect frame to place my bees as if there were flying. I made some ink blending gradients behind each window and added sparkle to the background using new CHUNKY SPARKLE GLITTER.

Next, I heat embossed the sentiment “Happy BEE-day”. I added the frame and all the colored elements to the card using new DOUBLE SIDED FOAM TAPE – WHITE.

Square floral card with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have prepared a simple floral birhtday card for you!

Take a look:

When I go on a trip with my family I like to bring some stamps with me to color when I have a bit of free time. Last weekend I took two crafty things with me: You’re so sweet stamp set and ZIG watercolor brush markers. I colored the flower in soft pink and the leaves in green.

I continue working on my card when I got home. First thing I did, was to die cut a square from the Scallop square die set which I then used to create a focal point on my background.

I used gray ink to stamp out a sentiment that reads ‘Happy birthday to you’ from a new It’s your birthday stamp set. I positioned it towards the right of my square, so I could put the flower on the left.

Then, I took a gray piece of card stock and put it behind the white square. I made sure that the gray matches the color of the ink I used. To made it even more connected to the rest of the card, I used a white gel pen and draw in a white square towards the edges of the gray card stock.

I positioned everything on a card and glued it down using liquid glue along with some foam tape.

The last thing I added were some pink crystals from October crystals pack that go nicely with the color of the flowers. I used Embelishment wand and Studio Katia liquid glue to glue them down.

Thank you for joining me!

Floral corners with Kaja

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Floral Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts, and today I made a simple floral brithday card!

Take a look:

A lot of times I try to make as much use of a stamp set as I can, so this time I challenged my self to use a Floral cross on a non religious card. I stamped the right part of the image twice on a watercolored paper and then, I colored the flowers in using ZIG markers.

I then trimmed the images on the edge of a cross to get four floral corner images.

Next, I die cut a scalloped rectangle out of a piece of gray card stock for which I used a brand new Dotted patterns #4. The die also makes a cool looking dotted border which was my guide to gluing down my floral corners. I used Studio Katia liquid glue to glue them down, so I could line it up perfectly with the dotted edge.

I then stamped out the ‘Happy birthday’ saying from the Peony trimmings stamp set for which I used green ink that goes with the leaves of the flowers. I popped it up with a piece of white foam tape.

The only thing left to do was to add some embelishments and I used white crystals from the Snow crystals mix. To make the positioning easier, I used the Embelishment wand that Studio Katia just released! It’s a life saver!

Thank you so much for joining me!

Birthday Wishes for a Crafty Friend with Tracey

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards, Other

Hi Friends! As you read this post the groundhog has already come out of his burrow and hopefully did not see his shadow! Wiarton Willie, my groundhog, says early spring! I have been busy reorganizing my studio this past month, a great job for the winter. Of course once I started going through my craft supplies I found things I had almost forgotten about. When I came across my watercolour powders I decided to use them for my post this week.

It is so much fun to watercolour flowers with these powders. I started out stamping and white heat embossing the main flower of the Japanese Peony stamp set onto a piece of watercolor paper. Then I die cut the image using the co-ordinating Japanese Peony creative dies. I sprinkled pink, raspberry, light and dark green watercolour powder on to my craft mat in separate areas. When using watercolour powder, a little bit goes a long way–just a couple light taps. I added clean water to the powder with a painbrush then watercoloured the flower. When it was partially dry I went back in again and added a bit more colour to some areas to add a bit more depth and dimension. I set it aside to dry fully while I prepared the background for my card.

Using the Studio Katia Ink Blender Brushes I ink blended my background using Distress Oxide inks and Bristol smooth cardstock. Then I flicked some watered down gold watercolour paint on to the panel and set that aside to dry. Once it was dry, I cut the panel with the largest rectangle from the Darling Ribbons & Frames cover die. This gives a nice stitched border all around the frame.

The sentiment is from the Birthday Greetings stamp set which was stamped on the card front before it was glued front of the white card base. Studio Katia Double Sided Foam Tape was added to the back of the flower before it was attached to the card for a little more dimension.

To finish the card off I used my Studio Katia Embellishment Wand to add a few Gold Sparkle Crystals around the flower for a little extra pop.

Thank you so much for stopping in today, we will see you next time!
