Border shaker Summer card

July 22, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina and today I have a bright summer shaker card to share with you. I embellished the card with copic colored flowers from Aloha Stamp set and a lot of colorful aequins from Summer Mix.

How to make an opened border shaker you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube chanel.

Card Details

I cut twice my A2 card panel using a line die from SIMPLE DOTTED BORDERS. I attached a white tulle behind those die cuts and a few pieces of foam tape from Studio Katia.

On a separate white panel I applied a few colors of Distress Oxide inks: Kitsch Flamingo, Picked Raspberry, Speckled Egg and Salvaged Patina. I foam mount the shaker panel on it. I attached the bottom piece of the tule on the back side of the card panel and put a lot of sequins from Summer mix inside of this shaker pocket. I closed the top edge with a tulle in the same way.

I stamped one small flower and 6 leaves from the Aloha Stamp set with Memento black ink and I colored them with alcohol based Copic Markers. For the flower I used : R21, 22, 24, 27, 59. For the leaves : G20, 24, 43, 28. I cut out the stamped images with coordinating dies and attached them on a card panel.

I stamped two sentiments using small stamps from the Aloha Stamp Set.

Thanks for stopping by! Have a great day!

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina. Today I want to show you a fan way to use your background cover plate dies. I used a cute Polka Dot cover plate die to embelish a little cup on my card.

Card details

I cut out a white panel using a large die from the Darling Ribbon Die set and I applied blue color Distress inks through the BUBBLES STENCIL.

I cut out a small red cardstock piece using Polka dot Cover Die and I stamped a cup from the CRAFTASTIC Stamp set on it. I fussy cut the red cup and adhered it on a black&white stamped image of cup and tools.

I cut out one more background using a medium size die from the Darling Ribbon Die set and velum. I foam mount all the elements on the card.

To create a sentiment I cut out a word Crafty from CRAFTASTIC die set and stamped two more words on a vellum using small stamps from CRAFTASTIC Stamp set. I stamped with Archival black ink and it dries well on the vellum.

I embellished the card with shiny pearls, I combined ARCTIC BREEZE PEARLS and BLUEBELL PEARLS on this card.

No line coloring fluffy squad

June 10, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards, Other

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina! Today I want to share with you some no-line coloring tips and a cute card for someone awesome 🙂 I played with a quite large stamp called Best Friends stamp Set and Scallop Oblong die set.

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

Card details

I stamped the image with puppies and cats on a watercolor paper with light yellow distress ink – antique linen, because I want to color animals with orange and brown colors. For coloring I used watercolor based markers – Distress Markers, you can also color with distress ink. I blended ink with water using a water brush.

I cut out a large scallop frame from a kraft cardstock using a Scallop Oblong Die set. To cut out the inner window I used an oval die from this set. I used an oval die again to cut out a thin oval frame from a gold glitter cardstock.

To embellish the card I cut out a blue stripe for a sentiment using a die from Darling Ribbon Die set and a red heart using a small die from the Scallop oblong die set. To finish the card I attached a few Gold Foil Pearls on the left and right sides of the card.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a great day!

Delicate shaker card

May 20, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina with you today and I’m sharing a pretty shaker card idea. This card design can be used for creating wedding or anniversary cards or just for a simple hello card.

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

Card details

I used a DARLING RIBBON & FRAMES die set to cut out a large A2 panel and two small panels for the shaker.

I cut out a heart inside of the small white panel using Shaker Heart die.

I cut two more hearts from mirror and glitter cardstock.I attached a clear acetate sheet on the back side of the white panel and on the front side I attached two heart frames.

I stamped flowers on both sides of the white panel using light brown ink and FLOURISHING NOTE stamp set.

I stamped sentiments on the grey panel with dark brown ink from the same stamp set.

I placed confetti and tiny bubbles on the grey panel and foam mount the white panel. I carefully covered the confetti with a white panel.

I hope you like this card and will try this idea. Have a great day!

Shaped jewel crystal frames

December 29, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone, it’s Galina.

Today im going to show you how to create shiny crystal frame using small dies and your favorite crystal embellishments.

How I made this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia’s Youtube chanel.

I cut out a white panel using Dotted die set 3. I applied few colors of ink on it. I used blender brushes to apply light shades of each color. If you want to get a brighter background – add a second layer of ink or apply inks with hard hand and pick a lot of ink on your brush.

Next I cut out 3 windows using a small hexagon die. Next I applied a small amount of liquid glue close to the cut edge and then placed the biggest crystals. I combined pink, green and blue transparent crystals.

I heat embossed flowers on a piece of vellum and attached it behind the card panel. I heat embossed a sentiment on the black cardstock and cut out with a coordinating stripe die. I foam mount it under the die cut windows.

Also, I listed below some other little dies, which you can use for this technique.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

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.

Hey BOO! | Halloween Light Up Interactive Card

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!

Simple floral hello card with Kaja

September 14, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and I must admit that I haven’t been making much cards lately, so today I decided to make a card for my soul — a watercolored floral card.

Take s look:

I started by stamping out a floral image from Aloha stamp set on a piece of watercolor paper. Then, I used ZIG watercolor markers to color in the image. I made sure that I left the shadows dark and the highlights bright. I used purple and red for the blooms and green for the leaves.

Once the image was colored, I went ahead and added some white details using white gel pen. The image seemed to big for a standard card base, so I quickly cut it in the middle which got me two parts of the stamped image. I glued it one over the other to get to a nice tall image.

Next, I added a black strip of paper to the left hand-side of the card and embelished it with a white line across its left side. To corespond with the black, I added the sentiment that reads ‘Hello my friend’ from the same Aloha stamp set.

I put the flowers down using double sided tape and liquid glue. I felt like I needed some more color so I added the purple dots that I put on a card using the Embellisment wand!

The card was all finished in no time, so now the only thing left to do is to send it out.

Cards for Crafty Friends with Olga

September 12, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Hello Cards

Hello there! Do you like making greeting cards for your crafty friends? Studio Katia has a lot of wonderful products for such type of cards. I decided to make two cards featuring ARTSY TRIMMINGS stamp set. Both cards were made in the same way, so I will describe the process once.

I started working on the background first. I die cut out two ovals using NESTED OVALS dies and ink blended one with Wilted Violet and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Inks and the other with Mermaid Lagoon Distress Ink and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Ink. I wanted to give my backgrounds a more original shape, so I cut a piece off the side of both ovals and got straight edges.

Next I wanted to add texture to the backgrounds. I used INK SPLASH STENCIL and Nuvo Glimmer Paste for that. I think this not only adds a fun sparkle to the background, but also highlights the crafty theme of the cards.

Next, I stamped the images from the ARTSY TRIMMINGS set in black ink and colored them with Copic markers. I used the matching ARTSY TRIMMINGS DIES to die cut the images.

From there, I layered the backgrounds onto light gray card bases and adhered my images using DOUBLE SIDED FOAM TAPE – BLACK. I stamped a part of the sentiments I wanted to add on the white panel, right at the straight edge of my ovals.

I made the second part of the sentiments using words: Create ans Crafty, which I die cut out of the black cardstock. These words are included in the coordinating die set.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!
