Winter 2019 Release Sneak Peek | Day 2

October 18, 2019 / CATEGORIES - New Release, News, Other, Sneak Peek

Hello Everyone! We had so much fun yesterday introducing one of our newest products coming to the store October 22nd! We are very happy that you like what you saw and are very excited to welcome you to Day 2 of our Winter 2019 Release Sneak Peeks! Today, we are featuring a fabulous stamp set called Happy Pawlidays.

The set has a super cute image, which you will recognize from our previous releases. The cute furry friends came back bringing holiday spirit with fun accessories and great sentiments. And if you are not into colouring, you can simply colour the small images (hats, ornaments, etc.) and give the image a fun and festive look, just add a sentiment and your card is ready. Wouldn’t this be perfect for mass-production? We do hope this will be another favourite of yours!

Non-Christmas Stamps on a Christmas Card with Laura

October 16, 2019 / CATEGORIES - News, Other, Winter Holidays

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a Christmas card I created by combining Christmas and non-Christmas stamps. There is also a video tutorial for you at the end of this post, if you’d like to see the step-by-step process.

The sets I used today are the Merry Poinsettia and the Kobi Bearing Gifts stamps sets. I started by stamping them on Neenah Solar White Cardstock with alcohol proof black ink and I then colored them with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. I created a color chart for you, if you’d like to use it as a reference.

Once I was done coloring, I die cut the images with the coordinating dies to the Merry Poinsettia and the Kobi Bearing Gifts stamps sets and I moved on to my background.
I die cut three panels out of some watercolor cardstock using dies in the Darling Ribbon and Frames, Dotted Patterns Set 3 and Scallop Frames sets.

I used the new Studio Katia blending brushes to add some color to my die cut rectangle and oval, over which I blended Peacock Feathers and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxides, respectively.
The blending bushes feel so super soft and blending with them was really easy! You can see them in action in the video at the end of this post!

It’s hard to see in the pictures, but I added some shimmer to the scalloped rectangle using some Clear Sparkle Embossing Powder by Wow!. I stamped the smaller images in the Merry Poinsettia stamp set using Versamark ink over the entire panel, I coated them with the embossing powder, and I heat set the powder with my heat gun.

I also added some more sparkle to the card by coating some of the images with a Spectrum Noir Clear Overlay pen. It is hard to catch on camera, but in real life it’s really pretty!

As a final touch, I glued some Icy Sparkle Crystals to the card front (a new favorite of mine!).
If you are interested in how to make this colorful Christmas card with the Studio Katia Merry Poinsettia and Kobi Bearing Gifts stamp sets, you can watch the video tutorial down below! And don’t forget to subscribe to the Studio Katia channel for more inspiration!

Thank you all so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Studio Katia STAMPtember 2019 Exclusive Stamp Set

September 28, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, News

Hello Everyone!

This month our friends at Simon Says Stamp and the whole crafting community are celebrating STAMPtember with many brands and Studio Katia is very proud to be part of this celebration as well with a brand new Studio Katia Floral Frame Stamptember 2019 Exclusive Stamp Set. Even though the stamp and die set has sold out quickly, the stamp set itself is still available at Simon Says Stamp! Don’t miss your opportunity to grab it while it’s still available, as it is a limited edition set.

Our DT Ladies created some amazing projects with this set, showcasing it’s versatility and beauty!

Ilda transformed this set into an amazing 3D bouquet, and by turning it with flower up she used the circle frame from the set as a vase. What a genius idea!

Kaja created fabulous card by colouring the stamp and adding bold lines in the background to make those intricate lines of the floral image and her beautiful colouring pop.

Emily turned this image into a super fun shaker card. And we all love those! Her fabulously coloured flowers look even more beautiful with that smooth ink blending and Studio Katia sequins in the background.

Laura added beautiful details to the floral image to make those flowers really pop on the white background. And what a lovely touch she added with Studio Katia dotted frame die and Arctic Breeze pearls.

Liliya also created a shaker card. You will like what she did here, especially if you don’t like to spend time on colouring or like to have different options. Since this image is very beautiful on its own, simply choose a bold colour of card stock and emboss it.

And don’t forget to watch great video tutorial from Crystal Thompson showcasing this beautiful stamp set:

Thank you so much for stopping by today! Make sure to not miss this stamp set while it is still available!

Have a lovely weekend!
