Happy Birthday to You Balloon Shaker Card by Ilda

June 18, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards

Hey Friends, Ilda here today!

So what did you think of Studio Katia’s Birthday Release? So much birthday goodness to keep you making birthday cards for this next year, right!? Loving all of it!

For my card today, I started by blending out some Balloons using Distress Oxide inks onto a card panel using the BIRTHDAY BALLOONS DUO STENCIL. I then die cut the panel out using the frame from the DARLING RIBBON AND FRAMES DIES and then die cut the window for shaker using the larger die from the FANCY CIRCLE DIES. To the back of the panel, I glued a piece of ACETATE and added foam tape to the edges and all along the window frame.

Onto the card base, I stamped out the birthday greeting from the IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY stamp set using watermark ink and heat set it using silver embossing powder.

I then added a little mound of the PASTEL RAINBOW CONFETTI to the center of the greeting and glued the top panel to the card base, securing the sequins in the window.

To finish off the front, I die cut the little ribbon from the SHAKER BALLOON DIE and heat set it with the same silver embossing powder. Then just drew in the balloon string with a silver gel pen.

I hope you liked this fun birthday balloon shaker card. I had fun with this simple design. Thank you so much for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Seashell Shaker Card with Dana

May 27, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards

Hello, everyone!
It’s Dana and I’d like to share another summer shaker card with you today.

For this card, I started with ink blending the turquoise paper using Mermaid Lagoon Distress Oxide Ink. Then, I stenciled sun rays with Underwater Sun Rays Stencil using Peacock Feather Distress Oxide Ink. I splattered clean water and let it dried.

Next, I die cut seashell from that paper using Seashell Shaker Die. I added Acetate Sheets to the back and peeled off protective blue sheet from only one side. It helps me save my time for coloring the shaker background! Hehe!

For the shaker elements, I mixed Sparkling Crystals, Majestic Confetti and March Crystals.

Then, I adhered all colored images as shown. Actually, I colored only some of them at this time and used extra colored pieces from my previous cards:) The images are from Jawsome, Mermaid For Each Other, Under the Sea. As a final touch, I white heat embossed a sentiment from Kobi the Super Bear onto black card stock and popped it up where I wanted.

Hope you enjoyed this card.

Happy crafting!

DIY Rain Maker Shaker Interactive Card and Video with Ilda

May 23, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards

Hey Friends, Ilda here today!

Today I have a treat for you, well at least I think so!

Today’s card was inspired by my friend and Interactive Card Master Laura Dovalo! When she came out with a card creating a rain shaker I was floored and just knew someday I would have to make one. Well, the day finally arrived! Since then Laura has collaborated with MFT and created the Falling From The Clouds Die to make it easier for us to recreate. Unfortunately, I do not yet own the die and so I had to see if I could up with a DIY version of it using supplies I already owned. Fortunately, Studio Katia had just the die I needed! I always love it when I could stretch my supplies, don’t you!?

So here is the fun Rain Maker Shaker Card I came up with. The sun, the rainbow colors, and even the rain just make me smile. Plus it is so fun to play with!

In order to create this version of the Rain Maker Shaker, I used a die meant for stitching which comes from STITCH BORDERS die set. I will let you watch how I used the die to create the mechanism that makes this card interactive. Here is the process video.

Don’t forget to → Subscribe to the Studio Katia Channel for future inspiration!

To begin this card I added embossing paste to my background using the LARGE POLKA stencil. Once that was dry I realigned the stencil with the embossed dots and used Distress Oxide Inks to blend out the rainbow colors. I then trimmed the background and glued it to the card base.

Next, I die cut the clouds using the cloud border from the SKY SET DOTTED BORDERS and also die cut the pieces for the sun by using the negative piece from die cutting the FANCY CIRCLE DIES together. I then just sandwiched the vellum piece between the sun rays.

The hello script die-cut comes from the YOU’RE SO RANUNCULUS DIE set which I die cut three times and stacked together. I used Copic markers to blend out the rainbow on the die cut and then finished it off with clear embossing powder for a high gloss finish.

To the inside of the card, I stamped out the sending you from the A CUP OF THANKS set and the Sunshine my friend comes from the ALOHA set.

I hope you have been inspired by my version of Laura’s Rain Maker Shaker Interactive Card and maybe the next time you don’t own that certain die or product you first take a look at what you already do have and use your creative juices to create your own. Experimenting and playing around with your supplies is what makes creating fun!

Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Hello, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m back with summery shaker card.

To start, I created sea background using watercolor paint and flat paint brush. Once it dried, I stenciled background using Underwater Sun Rays Stencil with clear embossing ink. I sprinkled clear embossing powder and heat set it. Then, I watercolored background again.

Next, I pulled out bristol paper and stamped Jawsome Stamp Set. I watercolored them with Zig Clean Color Real Brush markers and cut them out using Coordinating Dies.

I die cut cover panel using Dotted Patterns Set 3 and adhered Acetate Sheets to back of it. I then build a shaker using foam tape, Blue Sky Fusion, Sparkling Crystals and March Crystals.

To finish, I adhered stamped images as shown and stamped sentiment from same stamp set in white.

Thank you so much for joining me today. Happy crafting!

Save The Date See Through Window Shaker

May 8, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Shaker Cards

Hey Everybody, Ilda here, and I am back with a wedding themed card today. This time it is for a Save the Date Invitation See Through Window Shaker. I think this would also make a great destination wedding card idea.

To begin, I lined up the beige cardstock piece with the card base then ran them both through the die cut machine using the SHAKER HEART DIE to ensure the heart windows line up. I then used the same die to die cut the gold heart frame that will be glued on later. To the edge of the beige panel, I added the scalloped edge by die cutting the piece using the outer frame from the SCALLOP HEARTS COVER.

Next, I added a piece of ACETATE behind the heart opening and glued the gold heart to the edge of the window. I then flipped over the piece and created a foam tape well around the heart to fill with the sequins and shaker bits (see supplies listed below). Then cut another piece of acetate to lock in all my shaker pieces. Next, I added foam tape to the backside of the shaker panel, removed the protective backing from the foam tape and lined it up to the opening of the card base and glued it in place using the heart window to make sure it all lined up properly.

I then stamped out the stars from the STAR DATE set and embossed them in gold embossing powder and die cute them with the coordinating STAR DATE Dies. I then stamped in their little faces and colored them in using Zig markers and also added glossy accents details for a little shine. For fun and even more shine, I added the IRIDESCENT BUBBLES to the front of the card.

On the inside of the card, right where the window opens I blended out the sun rays using the UNDERWATER SUN RAYS stencil and then just used some masking tape to blend out the sand and the ocean. Lastly, I stamped out the save the date sentiment.

I hope you got some inspiration from this Save The Date See Through Window Shaker. Thanks so much for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Hugs, Ilda

March Release Card Ideas with Liliuska

May 2, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Floral Cards, Shaker Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello Everyone!

Since today is Thursday, and many crafters often do throwback Thursdays, I thought I’ll revisit you some of the cards I made for the March Release Full Release Video.

First card uses fun Studio Katia European Window die. I love that it has a dotted frame and has a very elegant look. You can use it as is, but I wanted to make it into a shaker using acetate sheets, colour matches perfectly. To keep sequins and confetti in different spots of the shaker, I placed foam tape strip in the middle of the window as well. I think it works much better than.

I coloured the images with alcohol markers and adhered them onto the window, popping the cacti image onto a piece of foam tape. I stamped the sentiment on a separate strip which I foam mounted on top of another strip of paper with cut out “fish tales”.

My next card I made using GRID COVER die and ALOHA stamp set. I coloured the image with alcohol markers. For the shaker background I used white woodgrain cardstock and filled the shaker with lots of different sequins and confetti, playing with the colours I used on flowers. I used BLUE SKY, SPARKLING SEA CONFETTI, MAJESTIC CONFETTI and SILVER FOIL STARS.

In order for the sequins to be present on both sides of the flower image, I’ve added a strip of foam tape, hiding it under the image. This way I will always have sequins on both sides of the shaker. I wanted to add a sentiment that wouldn’t stand out too much, that’s why I used 30lb vellum and heat embossed a Thank you sentiment using white embossing powder.

For my next card I used beautiful SHAKER HEART die. I used the middle heart as a template to pop in all the small pieces and added a heart shaped frame around it. I like the look I achieved this way.

I made this into a thank you card by adding a Thank you for kindness sentiment. I didn’t want a sentiment to stand out and take away from the die cut heart, so I used clear glitter embossing powder for the word kindness, I stamped the words ‘thank you for your’ with embossing ink and covered them with golden perfect pearls. It adds very fun look to the card. I wish it was possible to take a better picture of this.

My last two cards I made using SCALLOP HEARTS die, making one into a shaker.

Similarly to the previous two shaker cards I used foam tape strips here, to separate all heart windows and have crystals and sequins move in them separately instead of running all over the card and hiding under the paper. I added thin sentiments, stamping them with the ink that was slightly darker shade of my cardstock, as I wanted them to be visible, but not take away from the shaker windows.

For this card I dry embossed the hearts using the die from SCALLOP HEARTS die set. I embellished the card with die cut heart frames I had left over from the previous card. I stamped xoxo in some of the hears and covered pink heart in the middle with glitter pen.

For the inside I used a negative die cut from SHAKER HEART die and lightly ink blended the middle of it. I stamped Happy Birthday with the same blue ink.

Hope you like all different tips and ideas I shared with you today!

Have a wonderful and inspiring day!

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

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!
