Halloween

See through die cut sentiment

September 18, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Halloween, Hello Cards

Hello friends! It’s Galina and I have a pretty spooky card to share with you. For this technique I’ll need a kind of a border die with pattern, in my case the pattern is a spooky sentiment – Halloween trimmings.

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

I started by cutting out the sentiment directly on the front of the white card base. I placed slightly at an angle and run the card base with die throught my die cuutting machine. Next I cut out a same sentiment on the white card panel. I applied few purple inks on the card panel and them applied black ink throuth the Bubbles Stencil.

Using both dies from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 set I cut out a frame from the bright green cardstock. I foam mount it on the panel. Also I used two small stamps from MEOWY HALLOWEEN Stamp set to crete pumkins, I stamped them with a brown ink on the orange cardstock and I cut out a scrary faces using dies from the coordinating set. I found in my stash two copic colored pumkins and decided to use them too. I stamped them some time ago with a black memento ink.

I glued pumpkins on the card base and heat embossed the rest of the sentiment. I combined two different stamp sets to create a phrase “Have a spooky day”. n autumn I love to create an occasional cards with Halloween theme.

Well Hey, Boo!

Ilda, here. Today I have a special little card for you! Not only is this little pumpkin adorable, it is also interactive and lights up for the recipient. How fun is that?! I am so addicted to these new to me EZ-lights that I’m sure you will be seeing a lot more of these light-up cards in the future!

CARD DETAILS

Here is how I made this card:

Die-cut 2 HALF STRIPED COVER frames, one orange, and one purple.
Rotate one Striped Cover over the other 90 degrees and glue together onto a white card panel.
Die-cut the top, bottom, and frame pieces for the pumpkin using the SHAKER PUMPKIN DIES
Glue the bottom of the pumpkin onto the center of the card panel.
Punch a hole through both the card panel and the pumpkin base (somewhere where it won’t be seen from the face openings.
Add vellum behind the pumpkin face and add foam tape to the outer edges of the pumpkin’s face.

Thread the EZ-Light wire from behind the panel through the hole you punched through the panel.
Tape down each EZ-Light so that the light is able to shine through the vellum areas of the pumpkin’s face. ( I taped them behind the top orange pumpkin layer)
Line up the pumpkin’s face with the back layer and adhere them together with the foam tape.
Glue down the pumpkin’s frame around the pumpkin.
Insert the battery and tape down the EZ-Light push button behind the area you want the recipient to push down on. Test the push area.
Tape the excess wires to the pack of the card panel, leaving room along with the edges to add foam around the border.

Attach to the card base.
Die-cut the letters from glitter craft foam using the CHUNKY ALPHABET and arrange and press onto the card front.
Instead of writing push or press on the area, I used the Miss You stamp from the SWEET HEART CANDY.
To finish, embellish with your favorite bling. (I used RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS and AMETHYST PEARLS).

Now let’s see how cool it looks when you light it up!

How cool is that right?

I hope you were inspired by this fun Halloween Light Up Card. I’m already planning my next one, lol! Make sure you are following me on Instagram, I will post a quick video of the card coming together.

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

Happy Halloween!

October 10, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Halloween

Hi there! Emily Midgett here with you today. It finally feels like fall around here (hooray!) and so I thought a little pumpkin patch card was appropos. My kiddos love roaming around the pumpkin patch, spending (a somewhat ridiculous amount of) time finding the “perfect” pumpkin for carving. The happy little jack-o-lantern faces in the Spooky Pumpkin Trimmings stamp set reminded me of our porch after the guts have been scooped and the faces carved! Let’s get started with the details.

I began by stamping the happier of the two Spooky Pumpkin Trimmings stamps on the bottom of a white, Copic-friendly panel of A2 cardstock using Copic-friendly black ink. I then used my Copic markers to color the pumpkins, ghosties, and candy corn.

Once I had finished coloring the images, I used some blending brushes and two different shades of blue ink to blend a sky in the background.

I used the Halloween Trimmings dies to die cut a greeting. (Love how the curves of the die cut coordinate with the curves of the stamped image!) I backed it with some black cardstock to make the greeting really pop.

Well, that’s all for me today! Thanks so much for dropping by today, and have a marvelous day!

Spooky Pumpkins Trimmings with Liliuska

October 4, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween

Hello Everyone! Liliuska here and I have a black&white Halloween card to share today. I wanted to make a card with no colouring to show that the SPOOKY PUMPKINS TRIMMINGS set looks great and can be used without spending time on colouring. And the chalkboard technique is great for a quick and great looking card.

To make the card I grabbed a black card base and a black panel. On the card base I stamped images of buildings from WHIMSICAL TOWN stamp set. I stamped three times using white ink and MISTI. This way I got nice white lines without embossing. To add a bit more detail to that background I added some white splashes using White Wink of Stella. I love the look it creates.

I heat embossed one of the pumpkin border images from the SPOOKY PUMPKINS TRIMMINGS stamp set on the black panel with white embossing powder. You can repeat stamping and heat embossing few times to get thicker lines. Next I shifted my panel slightly in the MISTI and stamped with white ink. Before it dried I smudged the ink all over the panel with my finger (yes, I love using my fingers with this technique!). I added more white ink blending around the stamped image. As a final touch I added some lines with white pencil and some sparkly splatters. I used black Wink of Stella, but forgot how absorbent that chalkboard background becomes. I still like all the sparkle it added to the panel.

I die cut out a Happy Halloween sentiment with one of the dies from HALLOWEEN TRIMMINGS DIES and cut the bottom of the panel off using a die from TRIMMINGS BORDER die set. Next, I added white ink border on both the card base and the panel. Finally, I foam mounted the panel with pumpkins onto the card base and embellished the bottom of the card with lots of ONYX CRYSTALS.

Hope this card inspired you to play with your stamps more and try yourself in chalkboard technique. It’s one of my favourite techniques and if you are not afraid of getting your fingers dirty, you will surely enjoy it!

Have a great weekend!

Spiderweb Halloween Shaker Card with Ilda

October 3, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween, Shaker Cards

Happy Thursday Friends, Ilda here!

This week the Studio Katia Design Team has been showcasing Halloween Inspiration Cards. If you missed them click here to see more fun projects shared by our creative team.

For my card, I started off by laying the SPIDER-WEB STENCIL onto the background panel and then used a watermark ink to stamp over the entire area. I then removed the stencil and sprinkled it using black embossing powder to heat set the background.

Next, I die cut the center of the panel using the SPIDER WEB SHAKER die and then used a piece of an ACETATE SHEET to create the window for the shaker.

For the Happy Halloween that is die-cut on the inside of the shaker, I used the HALLOWEEN TRIMMINGS DIES and did some partial die cutting onto a piece of white cardstock that I then later blended out some distress oxide colors onto using the new INK BLENDER BRUSHES.

I then glued a few RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS onto the shaker area and then added some SPOOKY SATIN CONFETTI to the center before gluing on the top panel to close in the shaker area.

To finish off the card, I stamped out the pumpkins from the MEOWY HALLOWEEN set, colored them in with Copics and then fussy cut them as I didn’t have the coordinating dies. I then added some cute GOOGLY EYES to them and then glued them to the card front. I also added a few more RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS to embellish this fun card.

I hope this fun Spiderweb Halloween Shaker Card in”spider”ed you today!

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

Pumpkin card with Galina

October 2, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards, New Release

Hello everyone! It’s Galina here. What do you think about alternative ways of using die sets? Sometimes I have crazy ideas like this one. I used

SIMPLE ROUND TAG and HALLOWEEN TRIMMINGS DIES to create a pumpkin face on my card 🙂

At first I made a “body”, I cut a card panel from watercolor paper and apply orange watercolor paint all over it, I add a lot of water to get nice orange gradient. After background is dry I add dark orange and brown stripes with a dry brush. Next I cut out a “smile” using order sentiment die and adhere a black stripe on a cardstock on the back of my card panel.

To create eyes I used two smaller dies from tag die set. I simply cut them from a brown cardstock and add a bit of shading with brown distress inks and blending brush.

To finish my pumpkin face I decided to add few leaves and swirls from another die set – SHAKER PUMPKIN DIES.

At last I attached the card panel on the green card base and my card is done.

Hope you like this idea 🙂

Have a great day!

Happy Halloween with Isha Gupta

September 19, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Halloween

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a cute Halloween card using the new release goodies. I love creating cute cards for spooky Halloween….lol. So this spooky image was perfect and adding the googly eyes made this card look cute 🙂

I started by stamping the image using onyx black versafine ink and then embossed it using WOW! Midnight Dream embossing powder. I then die-cut the Happy Halloween sentiment stripe. I embossed a scrap paper using Flame embossing powder to add texture and bright color behind this panel. So, I adhered this panel to the orange stripe using 3D foam.

I then flicked little black ink to the card and let it dry. Color the candies and the pumpkin face using pencil colors. I then adhered the eyes to the focal pumpkin. Now, I embossed a stripe of paper using the same midnight dream embossing powder and cut into two stripes and adhered them to the top and bottom of a white cardbase. I then adhered the panel to the cardbase. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day! Isha Supplies Halloween Trimmings Dies Spooky Pumpkins Trimmings Triangle Tray Studio Katia Glue

Spooky spell card

September 17, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Galina is here and here is my first spooky card with new pumpkin stamp set. For my card I used a part of large border image.

Now we have true autumn weather and it was little bit hard to capture beautiful green glow on the card.

I started with cutting a sentiment right on a card base and I colored letters with black pen. On the inner side of the card base I placed a piece of the orange cardstock.

Next I apply light and dark distress inks on the card base. I tried to make a spell swirl 🙂 You can draw a swirl with a pencil and then add inks.

I stamped few pumpkins, eyes and tiny candies, which IS colored with pencils. I fussy cut all images and adhere them on the card base. At last I add a lot of green Nuvo drops on the green swirl.

Hope you like this card! Have a great day!

Trick or Treat Trimmings Card by Ilda

September 16, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween

Hello, my friends and Happy Monday, Ilda here!

Have you seen all the inspiration from the Studio Katia Fall Release? If you haven’t click HERE and join the Hop! Make sure you also comment by the 20th to qualify for the Giveaways! Alright, let’s get on with this fa-BOO-lous Trick or Treat card today!

So the first thing I did was stamp out the image from the SPOOKY PUMPKINS TRIMMINGS set using Versafine Black Onyx ink and then heat set it with Crystal Clear Ultra Powder. I then colored the pumpkin scene in with Zig Clean Color Brushes. Once the coloring was dry, I used the Trick or Treat die from the HALLOWEEN TRIMMINGS DIE set to cut out the letters. I then snipped off the connected top piece of paper with precision scissors.

To create the background I began by blending out the Mustard Seed Oxide ink in the center, then the Wilted Violet and finished the edges with Black Soot Oxide inks. To give it the stary sky look I splattered white pigment ink all over it.

To the background panel, I also glued a couple of webs that I die cut using the SPIDER WEB SHAKER dies and then used some Liquid Pixie Dust to add some sparkle to the black webs.

To finish off this card I foam mounted the Halloween Pumpkins along the bottom edge of the card and then added some glossy accents for some shiny details. For more bling, I also added some EXOTIC ONYX PEARLS from the new release.

I hope this card SPOOKY trick or treat card inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Hugs, Ilda
