Big flower card

/ 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

/ 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.

Boo-tiful card

/ CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards

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!

Card with foxes

/ 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

/ 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.

LogoLicious_20180609_162314

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!!

Crafty Hugs,

Rowena

Glittery Starry Sky with Olga

/ 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.

Do you like this card? Let me know what you think.

Have a great day!

Whimsical Town with Galina

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Hello Cards

Hi guys!

Today I want to share with you two cards with same scene but different color combo. For both cards I used Whimsical town stamp set.

First one with dusk scene.

I started with stamping two houses on the left corner of my white card panel. I drew a hill by hand, using black copic liner. Also I stamped small details such as birds, little ship etc. I used memento black ink for all images, because I wanted to color them with alcohol markers.

I created sky with sun using few colors of distress ink, I used distress inks to colour the hill, too. Only the sea was colored with copic markers.

Using biggest oval die I die cut a window in other card panel and glued it onto my background with foam adhesive.

My second card I created in the same way but with different colors. I tried to create soft dawn scene.

Oh, hello paw-some friend! with Olga

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Hello Cards

Hello, friends! Olga here. I have a fun project for a friend to share today. I was playing with the Best Friends Stamp Set I and created a picture with these cute furry friends which looks like a framed artwork hanging on the wall.

To create this image I used black ink and my MISTI tool to stamp all furry friends onto white cardstock. Then I colored the images with my Copic markers.

Next, using Dotted Patterns: Set 2 Creative Dies I die cut a white and craft frame for the image, as well as the image itself. I combined all die cuts together and voila! my framed artwork is done.

I foam mounted my framed image onto a card base and added a sentiment at the bottom and two little phrases on the sides of the frame.

I added Gold Crystals in every corner of the frame to imitate the look of nails holding the picture on the wall. Also, I just had to add googly eyes to make my card look cute and fun.

Thank you so much for joining me today! I hope I was able to inspire you!

Best friends with Natalia

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Natalia is here. And today I would like to show you simple but very attractive card made with the Best Friends Set.

First of all I stamped this set on paper for alcohol markers and colored everything in brown shades with Copic Sketch and Touch Twin. Cut everything of with usual scissors by contour.

Next I inked the panel with distress inks in pink, peach and yellow shades. I cut out a panel using Dotted Patterns Set – 1 and heat embossed a sentiment with white embossing powder on the top of my inked panel once it was completely dry.

Using foam tape, I adhered cut out “friends” to the inked panel. I mounted the panel on some foam to add more dimension to my card. And that’s it, card is ready.

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!
