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!

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!

Clean and simple cards with Galina

March 18, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Hello Cards

Hello everyone!

How you like our new release products? I’m so exited! Love every item. And today I want to share with you two clean and simple cards I made only with new dies.

For my first card I used new window die. I cut this window twice: from woodgrain cardstock and from gold glitter cardstock. I decided to combine sparkles and texture on woodgrain cardstock on my card. Inside of my card I made a sky scene with birds.

On a white panel I applied orange and pink color of distress ink and I draw few simple birds with black gel pen. And I stamped a sentiment under my window, it’s very helpful to have stamping tool to stamp on textured cardstock, but if you haven’t one you can fill white gaps on stamped image with black pen.

For my second card I used few die cuts I made with new shaker heart die. I really love monochrome cards and on this card I wanted to see some gold accents. I simply diecut a sentiment from gold mirror cardstock to get a gold main element on my card.

I adhered all die cuts with Studio Katia glue and to embellish my card I used glitter crystals. They look amazing on the card.

Hope you like these cards! Have a nice day!

Big flower card

January 21, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hi guys! It’s Galina and I want to recreate my old card and use my favoritwe big flower stamp. As you can see I used an active background for this card and it looks ok with such massive flower because of save color palette on flower and background.

For coloring I choose few Copic markers and one dark blue pencil for shadows and accents. It takes some time to color with details such flower but I love the result.

To create colorful card background I cut a white panel using die and applied few colors of distress ink on it. I used Broken China and Faded Jeans colors.

Hope you like this card 🙂 Have a great day!

Quick and Easy Hello Friend Card by Ilda

January 16, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello Friends, Ilda here with you today on the Studio Katia Blog. Today I am sharing a super quick and easy card to make using the You’re So Ranunculus stamp set. A card like this would be a great card to mass produce for whatever occasion you needed.

I began by stamping out the image and heat setting it with a gold embossing powder onto watercolor paper. Using a large brush I then applied a generous amount of water to the paper. Next, I smooshed Squeezed Lemon and Picked Raspberry Distress Oxide ink onto to a slick surface and added the color to the paper starting with the yellow on the top and pink on the bottom and then blended the two colors slightly in the middle. To some of the flower petals, I added a little more pigment before the water dried. Once the panel was completely dry, I die cut the added some splatters of ink using the same oxide colors.

I then ran the paper through the die cutting machine using the large frame from the Dotted Pattern Set 3 die set. I glued that piece onto a gold foil cardstock that I had trimmed to size and then glued them onto an A2 card base using foam tape.

I finished off the card front with gold foil die-cuts that came from the Spring Bouquet Coordinating die set and the You’re So Ranunculus Coordinating die set, and then added some gold crystals as finishing touches.

Hope this quick and easy yet beautiful Hello Friend card inspired you today.

Until next time, Ilda.

Card with foxes

September 12, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Today I want to share with a cute card I made for my mom.

For this card I used a square die to create a card background. I applied distress inks on it through self made masks.

Next I stamp foxes using orange ink and add shadows ( just a little bit) with colored pencils. As for flowers, I stamped them on a watercolor paper and colored with distress markers.

I cut all images with coordinating dies and foam mounted them on a card panel. I cut a card base bigger then my panel from white cardstock and glued panel on it.

Have a great day!

Under the Sea Card by Rowena

July 18, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards

Hi there Rowena here today with a Hello card using Under the Sea stamp and die set! This is such a fun a set to have and perfect for any occasions. For my card today, I wanted to create a scene where the main star is the cute little sting ray, swimming under the deep blue sea.

To start, I stamped all my images using chocolate hybrid ink onto a watercolor paper because I will be coloring my images using watercolor paints. This ink is watercolor safe as well as copic friendly ink. I usually or most of the time color with my copic markers but today I will be using my Daniel Smith Watercolor to color my images. I just added a mixture of greys, yellows and greens to color all my elements, I kept the coloring simple without mixing too much colors. Then I die cut the images using its coordinating die.

Moving onto the background! I blended some distress ink oxide, I used blueprint sketch and peacock feathers to create my watery background. Then using the Brushed Stroke Waves stencil, I created the wavy effect for added interest to my panel. I also used the same inks I used for my blended background. I splattered some white paint to create bubbles.

As I mentioned I wanted the sting ray to be the main star of my card. So, I die cut a white cardstock to create a frame for my panel using the decorative frame from the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames creative dies.

Once all my elements are complete it’s time to put the card together! I added foam tape to my frame panel and adhered it to my blended background. Then I also added some foam tape to the seaweeds and coral. Then glued my sting ray and as well as the little fishes. I did not add foam tape to the sting ray because I wanted it to appear in the back.

Then I white heat embossed the hello friend sentiment from the And The Fox Says stamp set, onto a black cardstock. I also added white gel pen on the coral as well as some glossy accents to the seaweeds and coral. It’s very hard to see on the photo but it’s there 😉

Again, thank you for stopping by and hope you enjoyed today’s post! Happy crafting!!

Glittery Starry Sky with Olga

April 28, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Hello Cards, New Release, Theme Week

Hello Studio Katia friends! Today I am sharing a card I made using Studio Katia Sparkling Stars Confetti Glitter. Don’t you love those tiny iridescent stars glitter? I am in complete awe with it! It can embellish anything with these stars!

I was inspired to make a starry sky background for the images from Whimsical Town Stamp Set. And I absolutely love the result I got. You can see every single star in the background which makes this town scene just magical.

I started working on my card by stamping three houses, a tree, a bush, a trash can, a mailbox and three clouds onto white paper. I colored all these images with alcohol markers and die cut them with Coordinating Dies.

To create glitery background for my card I wanted to do something special, something magical. First I ink blended a panel with pink and purple shades and die cut an oval out of it using Dotted Ovals Creative Dies. I wanted to make it look like a window, so I cut off a bit at the bottom.

Now time to do some magic! I covered oval panel with water-based glue and sprinkled it with star glitter. I let it dry and cleaned off the excess. So simple to make, but what an impressive look it created!

Next I foam mounted all of the images to create a town scene.
