Halloween

Trick or treat with Kaja

October 12, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I made a halloween card for you! 🙂

Take a look:

First, I did the background. I took a gray card stock on which I built my pattern. I used the spider-web stencil that I placed towards the left top corner and I inked over it with two colors of distress oxides – Black soot and Hickory smoke.

Next, I stamped out Kobi the Grim Reaper and some accesories that can be found in the same set. I colored everything in using alcohol markers and once I was finished with the coloring I added some details using the white gel pen. Then I used the coordinating dies to cut the images out.

I trimmed down the backround pannel to be slightly smaller than my card base and then I glued it in the center of a top folding card base. The edges seemed a bit boring so I added a black line with my pen.

The last thing I did was gluing down the bear for which I used the brand new Studio Katia glue that works perfect with everything!

That’s it for today! Thank you so much for joining me! See you next time.

Studio Katia – Kobi the Grim Reaper

Super Kobi and the Monster Gang Halloween Scene Card with Ilda

October 11, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween

Hello friends! Ilda here, and I’m back on the Studio Katia Blog today sharing this fun Halloween scene card featuring Kobi the Super Bear Stamps and Dies and together with the Monster Bash Stamp and Die set.

To make this card I started by stamping out all the images, colored them in with Copic markers and then die cut them using coordinating dies. I then blended out 3 colors of distress oxide inks onto my background (Carved Pumpkin, Wilted Violet and Black Soot) and then sprayed the surface with water and picked up the droplets with a paper towel. Next I sprayed the Spider Web Stencil with water and layed it onto the background, allowing it to get absorbed by the paper. I then carefully lifted the stencil off and picked up the water from the paper using a paper towel, which left behind the behind the spiderweb impressions. I then die cut the background using the large dotted rectangle from the Dotted Patterns Set 3 Die set. Then I arranged the little monsters and glue them into place (some directly onto the background and others popped up with foam tape for dimension). Stamped the Halloween Greeting onto the sentiment banner strip from the Best Ever Die set, and glued that into place. Then I finished the card front by adding these fun Silver Polka Fusion Sequins for some sparkle as well as glossy accents.

To the inside I stamped out this fun sentiment!

Hope this uper Kobi and the Monster Gang Halloween Scene Card has inspired you today!

Until next time… Have a BOO-tiful Day!

Hi everyone! It’s Galina. Let’s make more boo-tiful cards! The season is open 🙂

For this card I used new stencil and few old but cool pumkin dies.

I start with cutting a panel from orange color cardstock, next I applied black ink on edges and cover the panel with stencil and glitter texture paste from Nuvo.

On the orange cardstock I stamped few pumpkins using brown ink ant cut them out. On the green cardstock I heat emboss a sentiment with white powder and stamp from Monster Bash set. To create a main focal point I cut an oval frame from black cardstock and adhere all elements in a center.

To finish my card I glued my panel on a black card base.

Thank you for stopping by, have a great day!

Halloween Shaker Card with Dana

October 8, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween, Shaker Cards

Hello, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m sharing a Halloween shaker card today. I featured old and new Studio Katia products and here is what I came up with.

To begin, I stamped super cute cat and candies from Meowy Halloween Stamp Set and colored them in with Copic markers.

I added furry details to cat’s ears using white colored pencil. I then cut them using scissors and craft knife for cat’s hands for next step.

Next, I stenciled background with Spider Web Stencil. I used Mowed Lawn, Lucky Clover, Black Soot Distress Oxide Inks. After that, I sprayed black ink to the background.

While it dried, I die cut kitty’s treat bag using Dotted Scallop Oblong Die Set from white card stock. I then built a shaker using foam tape, Wicked Fusion and Onyx Crystals Mix. I adhered vellum behind the shaker after I ink blended it with Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide Ink.

I white heat embossed a sentiment from same stamp set onto a piece of black card stock and cut it using craft knife. To finish, I mounted all elements and added hemp cord between cat and shaker using Glue as shown in the picture.

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

September 24, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween, Shaker Cards

Happy Monday, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I have a Halloween card to share with you. I featured lots lovelies from our new release and let’s get started!

I began by stamping monsters from Monster Bash Stamp Set and colored them with alcohol markers. I then die cut them with Coordinating Dies.

I rubbed shaker window with embossing ink and sprinkled WOW! Perissa Embossing Powder and heat set it. Then, I built a shaker using clear acetate and foam tape with Wicked Fusion. I adhered silver ribbon to a tag shaker as well.

Meowy halloween with Kaja

September 13, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I have a cute halloween card prepared for you! 🙂

Take a look:

First thing I did was the background. I used my watercolored paper and stamped out three houses and a tree from Whimsical town stamp set. Then, I made them masks from masking paper since I will be doing some ink blending on top. I decided to make a halloween background, so I used Distress oxides in Curved pumpkin and Vintage photo colors. For a bit of extra interest I sprinkled some clear splatters on the ink blended panel.

I removed the masks from my stamped images and since halloween is supposed to be scary, I used black alcohol marker to color everything in.

Then, I stamped out the cat from Meovy halloween stamp set and some pumpkins from Kobi the grim reaper set. I used alcohol markers in traditional halloween colors to color everything in and once it was colored I used coordinating dies to die cut them.

The last thing I added was the sentiment. I decided to go with ‘Have a meawy halloween’ that can be found in Meovy halloween stamp set. I stamped it in black on a piece of white cardstock which I trimmed down using my paper trimmer.

The only thing left to do was to glue everything on the card base. I use some liquid glue along with foam tape for the cat.

That’s it for today! Thank you so much for joining me! See you next time.

Two square cards with Olga Moss

October 27, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Halloween, Winter Holidays

Hello there! Olga here, and today I want to show you two simple yet very cute cards.

Have a meowy Halloween! I love this sentiment from our last release. I decided to make a background using this sentiment. I stamped it with light orange color all over background except for one, which I stamped in black. I also stamped, coloured and cut out a cat, two spiderwebs, two pumpkins, a small lamp and a bottle. I adhered all images using foam tape. Lastly, I added few sequins from Vintage Sheer Fusion. The accent on the spiderwebs – silhouette of a cat – is a sequin from the Wicked Fusion.

My second project for today is a quick and simple card using stamps from Winter Kobi set.

I started working on this card by stamping Kobi, his hat and Christmas lights. I colored and die cut the images.

To create a background for my card I dry embossed a circle frame using a die from the Dotted Balloones Creative Dies set on white cardstock and inked the inside of it with Distress Cracked Pistachio. I adhered this panel onto a card base and foam mounted Kobi holding Christmas lights.

I stamped a Joy sentiment from Sweet Holiday stamp set on a small white banner from Dotted Paterns: Scallop Frame creative dies and foam mounted it onto my card. Finally, I embellished the card with some Iridescent Clear Crystals.

Have a great day!

Olga

Meowy Halloween with Kristina

October 18, 2017 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween

Hello everyone! Kristina here, and today I want to show you two cards I made with Meowy Halloween stamp set.

For my first card, I started by stamping a few pumpkins, using masking technique. Next I used wet on wet watercolor technique, I applied pink and blue colors where the sky should be, above the pumpkins. When it was all dry I moved to the bottom part of the background and applied green and brown colors.

While my background was drying I stamped the cat and few more pumpkins, cut them out with coordinating dies and colored with Copics. Once all the images were ready I’ve adhered them using foam tape and mounted the whole panel on a kraft card base. To finish my card I’ve added a small Boo speech bubble from Kobi the Grim Reaper set.

For my second card, I blended purple, blue and yellow distress inks on white paper onto the panel and sprinkled it with water. I also colored Kitty and pumpkins with Copics. I stamped the sentiment with white embossing powder on a strip of black cardstock and added the moon from Kobi the Grim Reaper stamp set.

I’ve adhered it all using foam tape and mounted the panel on a white card base.
