Floral wreath card with Galina

July 16, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Today I want to share with you a colorful card I made with beautiful wreath stamp.

This stamp is quite big, so it can be used like main focal element with any addons. But I decided to use just a part of this wreath image on my card.

I start with cutting out a card panel from light green cardstock. Next I heat embossed wreath on a right side and on the left bottom corner. I used gold glitter embossing powder to add extra shine on my card. I colored images with pencils. I used only few colors: white for highlights, pink and green as main colors and dark blue pencil for adding shadows on flowers.

Also I heat embossed a sentiment with white powder on a piece of a black cardstock and foam mount it on the card panel.

To embellish my cards I used few yellow crystals, I glued them with SK liquid glue.

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.
