Floral Wreath Shaker Card with Liliuska

April 12, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Shaker Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello Everyone! Liliuska here and today I’d have a shaker card to share with you. I made it using gorgeous FLORAL WREATH stamp set.

I started with stamping the wreath image with a very light ink, as I wanted to avoid black lines for this card. I coloured the image with coloured pencils and fussy cut it with scissors.

I die cut out a panel out of white cardstock using largest die from DARLING RIBBON & FRAMES and ran it through my die cutting machine making with an embossing mat and a BRUSH STROKE WAVES STENCIL to do dry embossing. I like that it added just a little bit of texture to my card and didn’t overwhelm the background, as I wanted to keep the focus on the coloured image.

To make a shaker I needed to cut out a window in the wreath image and was pleased to discover that a circle die from DOTTED PATTERNS SET 1 matches perfectly!

Next, I used Studio Katia GLUE to adhere acetate to the back of the wreath image. I have been using it for shakers lately and love how well it adheres acetate to the paper. I filled the shaker with GOLD FOIL CONFETTI and GOLD CRYSTALS. I used GOLD FOIL CONFETTI to embellished my card a little as well.

All I needed now was a sentiment. I die cut it out of white and gold glitter cardstock and glued together a little off so that the white was visible under the gold and would give the word thanks a little bit of a shadow. I adhered the sentiment on top of the shaker window using Studio Katia GLUE, it is my favourite liquid glue!

Hope you enjoyed my card today. Have a wonderful weekend!

Sunset Colored Peony… with Emily

April 3, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Shaker Cards, Thank You Cards

Hi there! Emily Midgett back with you today to share a project combining some old and some new products from the Studio Katia lineup. Now, if you’ve ever visited my blog, you’ll notice something…. flowers and coloring are my jam. I can’t get enough of pretty blooms (which Studio Katia luckily has in spades), nor can I get enough of numerous coloring mediums. I am fortunate to own many different watercoloring mediums, including the Ph Martins Liquid Watercolors, which I’ve used on today’s project. I painted this peony during the latest Daily Marker 30 Day Challenge, and couldn’t wait to use it on a project! Let’s get started with the details.

I began by stamping and clear embossing the main peony image from Japanese Peony onto some Arches cold press watercolor paper. I then used my Ph Martins liquid watercolors to add shades of coral, pink, and fuchsia purple to the peony, first by wetting the peony completely with clean water, then dropping in very diluted color for my first “layer” of color. (I am all about layers!) After the first layer had dried, I then went back in with more concentrated watercolor to add shading and shadows. Having that first layer of multiple mottled colors helps to add some variety and uniqueness to the image.

Next, I worked on my background. I began by blending two A2 sized panels using bright fuchsia, hot pink, and deep coral inks (trying to match the colors used on the flower itself). I die cut one of the blended panels using the new Grid Cover die, backing it with some acetate and foam tape to create a shaker. I then filled my shaker with Luminous Lavender Flowers, Iridescent Dust Seed Beads, Luminous Lavender Fusion sequins, and adhered it to the other blended panel.

After my shaker had been completed, it was time to add the flower and a greeting to the front. I added the Japanese Peony to the bottom of the card front, trimming off some of the foliage that hung over the edge and placing it around the top of the peony (waste not, want not!), then white embossed a greeting from Cup of Thanks onto some strips of black card stock and added them to the card front using liquid adhesive.

Well, that’s all for me today! I hope you enjoyed a bit of summer in my post today…. I’m so enjoying these longer days with more sunlight!! Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a marvelous day!

Cactus Hugs Birthday Card with NEW DT Member Isha

April 1, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, News, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone! We are so happy to share more exciting news with you. We would like to introduce NEW very talented and creative Member of our fantastic Design Team – Isha Gupta! We are so happy to have her joining our Team we’d like to celebrate with a Giveaway! Leave a comment by April 6th, 2019 and you can win a $50 Gift Certificate to our online store. Winners will be announced on April 7th.

Hello everyone! Isha Gupta here with you today, and I am super excited and thrilled to be here with my first post as a Studio Katia DT member. I’ve loved the products for some time now and it’s an honor to be working with them along with such a talented bunch of ladies.

For my card, I decided to have some fun with the new release products. I started by creating my background panel. I die cut a white mat layer using the frame from the Scallop Hearts Cover. I then blended some distress inks onto it. Next, I used Grid stencil on this layer, secured it with washi tape and blended the same colors of ink. I flicked some water for added texture and removed the stencil.

Next, I die cut out a circle from this panel, adhere the circle to the white card base, added some chunky Flowers Glitter and secured it with a bit bigger circle cut out of vellum. This creates a shaker without adding extra bulk. I then adhered the rest of the panel to the card base using foam tape.
I stamped the images from Cactus Hugs Stamp Set using alcohol marker friendly black ink and coloured them using copic markers. I die cut out all the images using coordinating dies.

I adhered all images to the card. Stamped and embossed the sentiment onto black stripe and adhered it as well. To finish, I added some pretty crystals from the Cupid’s Kiss Crystals.
Hope you enjoyed my card. Happy crafting!

Under the Sea Window Shaker by Ilda

March 13, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello my friends Ilda here,

It’s is finally looking like the snow is melting and Spring weather is on its way! I just can’t wait for it to warm up as maybe can tell by this Under the Sea Shaker card. Interactive cards are definitely one of my favorite kinds of cards to make and to give away.

To begin this card I stamped out images from the Mermaid For Each Other and the Under the Sea sets and then die cut them with their coordinating dies. They were colored in using Copic markers.

Next, I blended out some Distress Oxide Inks (tumbled glass, mermaid lagoon and wilted violet) onto a piece of Bristol paper. Then I used the Brush Stroke Waves stencil to add a layer of Glimmer Paste onto the background.

For the top panel, I used the Fancy Circle Dies to die cut the circle window and then used the frame from the Dotted Patterns Set 3 to cut out the panel. Next, I adhered a piece of acetate to the window opening and glued the water plants along the edge of the window. To the background, I glued the coral piece and the merman I popped up with a piece of foam tape. Not sure if you can tell from the photos but the mermaid was the only image I glued on the top of the acetate.

To create the shaker portion of the card I used foam tape and added it to the outside edge under the card front panel. Before attaching it to the background I added my sequin bits that consisted of Shimmering Ice Fusion Sequins and Sparkling Crystals to the center of where the window would be. I then removed the protective adhesive from the foam and lined it up with the background. I then attached that to a card base that I had glued a piece of light blue cardstock to. The sentiment I used on the card front comes from the Blooming Bunch Stamp set.

For a bit of sparkle on the images, I used Liquid Pixie Dust on the mermaid tails and the coral.

I hope you got some inspiration from this fun Under the Sea Shaker card. Oh, how I would love to be swimming in that magical ocean right now!

Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!

Hugs, Ilda

MAY YOUR BIRTHDAY BE AS AWESOME AS YOU ARE!

February 19, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards

Hi there! It’s Natalia here. And today I want to show you another interactive card using beautiful Studio Katia supplies – Whimsical Town Stamp Set and Hello Alice Clear Stamp Set.

First I stamped cute images from the Whimsical Town Stamp Set (twice) and Hello Alice Clear Stamp Set. Colored everything with copic markers and die cut them out with coordinating dies. I made highlights using white pen.

Next I blended some distress inks onto white piece of paper (two sheets – galaxy and sunset sky). I cut out the window in galaxy paper using paper knife. That smaller piece of galaxy I put on a special piece of transparent plastic which will serve as a slider.

On sunset sky paper I made a shaker, hidden place for sequins and plug from transparent plastic which held them inside until their time has come to make a meteor shower effect. I’ve put colored elements from Whimsical Town Stamp Set on the front transparent side of the shaker and replicated elements on the slider with galaxy.

Next, I made the cover of the card. I took a piece of dark grey cardstock and cut out two stripes using craft knife. I scored both stripes and put them together with a piece of transparent plastic and attached top side to the card. I decorated it with golden decorative tape and anhered Alice with umbrella on top.

I embellished everything with IRIDESCENT STARS CRYSTALS.

Thank you so much for join me today, have a great day!

Vellum Shaker with Laura

October 29, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a winter vellum shaker card, created with the beautiful Holiday Village stamp set. As a first step I stamped my images on Bristol Smooth cardstock and colored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. I then cut them with the coordinating dies.

I then created some hills with the Trimmings Borders and added some shading to them with Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass. To add some interest and some sparkle I coated the hills and the snow on the houses with my Spectrum Noir clear overlay pen. I really love the look of glitter on a winter scene!

For my shaker front I cut some white cardstock using dies from the Darling Ribbon and Frames set and the Dotted Scallop Oblong set. I theb did some ink blending on my shaker background with Distress Inks in Worn Lipstick, Shaded Lilac and Broken China. The embellishments I used to fill in the shaker are the Majestic Sequin Mix, the Crystal Clear Sequin Mix, the Clear Dust Seed Beads and the Iridescent Dust Seed Beads.

For the shaker window I used vellum instead of acetate. I wanted to go for a different look, and I think vellum works really well for this winter scene, as it gives a bit of a frosty look to it. I stamped the sentiment from the Holiday Village set using Distress Oxide in Stormy Sky and, for a finishing touch, I glued a few Iridescent Ice Flakes to the card front.

And that’s it for today! I really hope you enjoyed this post, and I hope I inspired you to create with the lovely Holiday Village stamp set!

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

Laura

Winter Fun with the Ice Day Penguins by Ilda

October 24, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello my friends, Ilda here! I am back today on the Studio Katia Blog with a winter scene card featuring the cute penguins from Kobi’s Ice Day stamp set. It still is early for winter here in Canada but it has already snowed a few times here since September, but thankfully it has melted! Although as the cold weather approaches I begin looking forward to the fun winter activities ahead.

For this card, I was imagining these cute little penguins having fun on a winter day… walking across a frozen lake wing in wing… sliding across the ice on their bellies… I also thought it would be fun to make it look like it was snowing and so turned this scene into a shaker card.

To make this card I began by stamping out the images onto Bristol paper, colored them in with Zig markers and then die cut them with the coordinating dies. Next, I worked on the background by blending out Peacock Feathers, Broken China, and Mermaid Lagoon Oxide Inks onto the background. I then misted the background with water and picked it up with a paper towel leaving behind watermarks on the inked panel. The next thing I did was cut out the card front to create the windows for the shaker. I used the large oblong window die from the Dotted Patterns Set 3 to cut out the two windows and then used the large rectangle die from the Dotted Patterns: Darling Ribbon Dies to cut out the entire panel. I then stamped out the winter fun stamp between the windows. I used the windows I had just cut out to figure out where to stamp the snowflakes onto the inked panel. Once the distress oxide ink was dry, I stamped out the snowflakes and heat set them with white embossing powder and began assembling the shaker card. The shaker mix consists of Silver Foil Stars and Sparkling Stars Confetti Glitter. Finally, I finished the card by gluing the penguins in place and adding some Iridescent Ice Flakes to the card front.
