Interactive card with potted plants stamp

January 24, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! It’s Galina. I want to share with you a card with a hidden secret using Potted Plants stamp set and few small dies from FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES set and ELEGANT SCALLOP OVAL die set.

I colored this card with a pencils. I stamped images with light green distress ink and colored them little bit over the lines, to create a no-line effect. I cut out stamped images with and plant them into the big pots. Few days ago I shared a similar card and how to create this big pots for the stamped flowers, video is avaible HERE. I cut out few half oval elements and apply brown ink on them using Bleder brushes.

But for today’s card I used another little die which can be combined with FANCY SCALLOPED CIRCLE die set. It’s a half oval die for creating peek-a-boo elements on the cards 🙂 This little die is a part of ELEGANT SCALLOP OVAL die set.

I cut out a door in the pot and stamped one more sentiment inside of the pot. Also I add cute smiling face on the lid and tiny heart on the bottom. This tiny heart die you can find in the POTTED PLANTS coordinating die set.

For the card background I picked ivory color cardstock and made a dry embossing on it using GRID COVER die, it works fine for wall imitation on the cards.

Hope you like this card!

Thanks for stopping by!

Hello Card with Olga

January 21, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Hello Cards

Hello friends! Olga is here and I’ve got some cute inspiration for you today.

Today’s card features an older Studio Katia stamp set that I still love very much – the Whimsical Town set. Those dancing houses are so fun! But when I saw Paws For Kindness Bundle with this cute little girl, I knew I must create a summer town scene with it.

I stamped several images from both sets in a black hybrid ink and colored them up with copic markers. I then used the matching dies to die cut the images out.

Next, I worked on ink blending a summer sky. I splattered white acrylic paint generously. Then, I die cut some hills out of white card stock and blended the edges with Frayed Burlap distress oxide ink using Studio Katia Ink Blender Brushes.

After adding the hills, I adhered my images onto the scene with a foam tape. I used the large Hello die from the Fancy Scallop Circle Dies. I die cut the word out of glitter card stock and adhered onto the background. To embellish the card I used Iridescent Stars and Rainbow Loops. And that completes today’s card!

I hope you enjoyed today’s inspiration. Have a great day!

Video: Multi technique card with Galina

January 13, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Today I want to show a card with a lot of cardmaking techniques. For this card I used cute little stamp set – POTTED PLANTS and FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES.

How I made this card you can watch in this video or HERE (Studio Katia Youtube channel)

For this card I decided to create my own pot for the stamped plants. I used smallest dies from the FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES to die cut a half of a circle and in the center of it cut out a holes with other die from this set. I cross stitched the die cut with a green thread and got this nice decorated pot. I colored plants with Copic markers and attached them abow the pot.

For the card background I used stencil technique. I applied Lucky clover and Pine Needled Distress inks throught the AUTUMN LEAVES STENCIL with INK BLENDER BRUSHES. This brushes helps to get nice crisp image through the stencil.

Behind the pot I placed a piece of the vellum. I attached it to the glitter frame using double sided adhesive. I stamped the sentiment directly on the vellum. For stamping on the vellum or acetate sheet it’s better to use an archival\permanent inks.

Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day!

Pumpkin card with Galina

October 2, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards, New Release

Hello everyone! It’s Galina here. What do you think about alternative ways of using die sets? Sometimes I have crazy ideas like this one. I used

SIMPLE ROUND TAG and HALLOWEEN TRIMMINGS DIES to create a pumpkin face on my card 🙂

At first I made a “body”, I cut a card panel from watercolor paper and apply orange watercolor paint all over it, I add a lot of water to get nice orange gradient. After background is dry I add dark orange and brown stripes with a dry brush. Next I cut out a “smile” using order sentiment die and adhere a black stripe on a cardstock on the back of my card panel.

To create eyes I used two smaller dies from tag die set. I simply cut them from a brown cardstock and add a bit of shading with brown distress inks and blending brush.

To finish my pumpkin face I decided to add few leaves and swirls from another die set – SHAKER PUMPKIN DIES.

At last I attached the card panel on the green card base and my card is done.

Hope you like this idea 🙂

Have a great day!

Spooky spell card

September 17, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Halloween, Hello Cards

Hello everyone! Galina is here and here is my first spooky card with new pumpkin stamp set. For my card I used a part of large border image.

Now we have true autumn weather and it was little bit hard to capture beautiful green glow on the card.

I started with cutting a sentiment right on a card base and I colored letters with black pen. On the inner side of the card base I placed a piece of the orange cardstock.

Next I apply light and dark distress inks on the card base. I tried to make a spell swirl 🙂 You can draw a swirl with a pencil and then add inks.

I stamped few pumpkins, eyes and tiny candies, which IS colored with pencils. I fussy cut all images and adhere them on the card base. At last I add a lot of green Nuvo drops on the green swirl.

Hope you like this card! Have a great day!

Hello friend card

September 6, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Hello Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Galina with you today. The summer is over but I can’t stop making cards with cute underwater creatures.

I start making this card with creating an oval mask. I simply die cut oval with small die from the set from piece of a paper and apply distress inks through this mask on a card panel. I stamped few creaters using memento black ink and coloredthem with alcohol markers. I cut the big coral with scissors to make two separate coral pieces. I hide a little fish behind it.

I attach my critters onto the card base with foam pads and stamped bubbles around them. I embellish my card with some iridescent drops.

Hope you like this fun card! Have a nice day!

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.
