Hello Everyone! We have amazing news to share with you today! We have new designer joining our team – Tracey McNeely. We are very excited and are looking forwards to seeing all her wonderful creations with Studio Katia products! Leave comments for her under this post in order to win a $15 Gift Certificate to Studio Katia Store.

——————–

Hi there it’s Tracey here today and I am so excited to be joining the design team at Studio Katia! My blog is In My Creative Opinion and I would love to see you visit me over there. I hope that I can inspire you to have some fun with your Studio Katia products and maybe even show you a few tips on how to use what you have in new and different ways!

To get things started I have a card for you today that could work for any occasion during the winter months!

I started out by ink blending a 5 1/2″ x 4 1/4″ panel of cardstock using Distress Oxide inks using the Studio Katia Blender Brushes to create a two colour blend using Cracked Pistachio and Evergreen Bough Distress Oxide inks. Next I flicked some gold watercolour paint on to the panel by tapping two paint brushes together and set it aside to dry. Once it was completely dry I die cut the Studio Katia Elegant Oval Die out from the blended panel.

I placed the blended panel over a white top folding card base without gluing it down just so I could see where I needed to stamp the sentiment so it would show through the window. The sentiments from the Studio Katia Poinsettia Border stamp set were stamped with clear embossing ink and then embossed with gold pearl embossing powder.

To make the shaker component I adhered a piece of clear acetate behind the window on the front blended panel. Then I added two layers of foam tape to the back of the same blended panel. Two layers gives my shaker bits room to move around. For the contents of my shaker I used the Studio Katia Iridescent Ice Flakes. I placed them them right on top of the embossed sentiment on the white card base and spread them out. The top blended panel was added to the card base so that the window reveals the sentiment and the pretty shaker contents inside.

Thank you so much for stopping in today, I hope you enjoyed my first post with Studio Katia.
We’ll see you again next time.

Winter Shaker Card with Laura

December 20, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with a Winter shaker card featuring the Ponsettia Border and the Holiday Village stamp set. At the end of this post, you will also find a video tutorial, showing how I made it.

For the window of my shaker I used the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames Dies. I also used the Simple Dotted Borders on the cardstock panel that I die cut out of the center to create a hill.
I blended Spectrum Noir Silver Midas ink on the hill and I used Rose Gold and Pink Lace on the shaker background. These are metallic pigment inks that will add a shiny finish to my card.

To fill up my shaker I used a mix of Studio Katia embellishments: I used Frost Glitter, Sparkle Glitter, Silver Polka Sequins, Crystal Clear Confetti and Majestic Confetti.
As I mentioned, the images I used are from the Poinsettia Border and Holiday Village stamp sets. I colored them with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator Markers and die cut them with the coordinating dies.

For my sentiment I used the banner die in the Darling Ribbon&Frames dies. I stamped one of the greetings in the Holiday Village stamp set with Silver Midas ink and blended the edges with Pink Lace Midas Ink.

Don’t forget to check out the video tutorial, if you are interested in the step by step process for this winter shaker card!

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

Laura

CAS Snowflake Stencil Cards by Ilda

December 11, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Well hello, my friends! Ilda here.

Today I am back with a couple of Christmas cards inspired by the new Snowflake Stencils from Studio Katia.

To begin I started by adding Glimmer paste to both panels. For this first card, I used the SNOWFLAKE STENCIL and applied Moonstone Glimmer paste and set it off to dry. Once it was dry I used the frame from the LOOPS: CREATIVE DIE to cut out the card front for what would become the shaker window. Next, I used the ELEGANT SCALLOP OVAL to die cut the opening for the shaker. To the back of the panel, I glued on a piece of ACETATE that I trimmed to cover the opening.

I then used the window as a guide to figure out where to add the sentiment. I then stamped the sentiment from the GIFT TAG GREETINGS: WINTER directly onto the front of the card base and heat embossed it using silver embossing powder. I also added the same embossing to the little bow that I would later embellish the top of the oval frame with.

Next, I added a little pile of the FROST GLITTER and the ICY SPARKLE CRYSTALS directly over the sentiment and then popped on the front shaker panel that I had added FOAM tape too. To finish this card I then glued on the thin dotted frame and glued some more crystals to the card front.

This next card was done the exact same way as the previous card only this time I simplified it even more by not creating a shaker. Also, for this card, I used the FLORAL SNOWFLAKE STENCIL and applied Silver Gem Paste.

Again here I used the frame from the LOOPS: CREATIVE DIE to cut out the panel as well as the same sentiment from the GIFT TAG GREETINGS: WINTER this time stamped onto black cardstock and embossed in white.

To finish up the card I popped foam onto the back of the panel and glued it and the frame to the card base and then embellished the front with SILVER FOIL PEARLS.

I hope these Clean and Simple Christmas Snowflake Stencil Cards inspire you today.

Thank you for stopping by and until next time hope you have a wonderful week… Happy Crafting Everyone 👋

Vintage Christmas Lights

November 5, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there! Emily here with you today, and I have a project inspired by the beautiful that I remember from my youth! I love the elegance of white Christmas lights, but I have always loved the nostalgic feeling of the soft glow of colored Christmas lights. The Crystal Rainbow sequins and Crystal Rainbow Confetti remind me of colored Christmas lights, so I used those as my inspiration for today’s shaker card. Let’s get started with the details!

I began with an A2 panel of white cardstock, and using the new Ink Blender Brushes, blended pink, purple, electric blue, teal, and yellow inks to create that soft Christmas light glow.

I then die cut the Half Striped Cover Die from some iridescent white cardstock, backed it with acetate, and added foam tape to create a shaker card. I filled the shaker with lots of Crystal Rainbow sequins and Crystal Rainbow Confetti.

For the greeting, I die cut the polygon from the Half Striped Cover Die using white cardstock, then stamped the “Be Merry” from Merry Poinsettia using black ink.

Well, that’s all for me today! Thanks so much for stopping by, and have a marvelous day!

Merry Christmas Shaker Card with Isha Gupta

October 29, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, New Release, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a CAS shaker card using some of the new winter release goodies. I love the new Floral Snowflake Stencil so much and of coarse the snowflake stamp and dies. I decided to use just the die for my card today.

I started by applying some distress ink through the stencil using the new ink blender brush. I really love the soft and even result we get with them. I then die-cut snowflake and adhered the cut snowflake to a white cardbase. Now, I adhered acetate onto the back side of the panel. Add some Frost and Fine glitter onto the snowflake on the card. Apply double sided tape around the snowflake and the cardbase. Adhere the stencil panel to the card. This way, the card isn’t bulky and is perfect for quick mailing. Flick some black splatters and let it dry. I then die-cut the word Merry 3 times from white cardstock and once from glitter cardstock. I then added some color to the glitter word. Stack them all and adhere to the shaker window. Stamp and adhere the word Christmas.

To finish, I added some of the Icy Crystals. Thank you for dropping by! Have a nice crafty day!

Autumn Cuteness with Galina

October 15, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone! It’s Galina with you today. When I first saw SHAKER ACORN DIES I was dying because of their cuteness. And I love to have an option to put faces on them 🙂

For this card I used few die sets from autumn release. I cut out few acorn details from white cardstock and colored them with brown, orange and green inks. To apply inks on the die cuts I used blending brushes. I decided to make shaker acorns, so I cut out a piece if vellum and attached it on the back of the accorn die cut, next I attached adhesive foam strips.

I filled the shaker with golden seed beads and covered the shaker with one more piece of paper. I added a smile and eyes to both acorns. Also I added a leaf by using a die from pumpkin set and few flowers from embellishment set called RADIANT PINEAPPLE PETALS and MISTY ROSE FLOWERS.

To create a card background I cut out a white panel and applied pink and yellow distress ink using blending brushes. With regular paint brush I added splatters all over the card panel.

I cut out a white frame from vellum and glued it on the card panel. Next I adhered both acorns. Using sentiment from AUTUMN BORDERS DIES set I cut out a word “Thanks” from gold cardstock and attached it to the bottom of my card.

To finish my card I added few transparent crystals with liquid glue from Studio Katia.

That’s all. Thanks for stopping by!

Have a great day.

Happy Thanksgiving by Dana

October 11, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Autumn/Fall Cards, Cards, Shaker Cards

Happy Friday, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’m back with Thanksgiving card today.

I started by die cutting acorn using Shaker Acorn Dies from A2 sized bristol cardstock. I then sponged die cuts with distress inks using mini blending tool.

I die cut acorn body again from kraft paper for shaker background. I added Clear Sheets and completed shaker with Ice Sparkle Crystals and 3M Crystal Clear.

Next, I ink blended background with Distress Oxide Inks. Then, I splattered watercolor drops using paint brush here and there.

Once they dried, I stamped sentiment from Autumn Borders in brown. To finish off, I embellished with Ripe Persimmon Pearls and Seafoam Pearls and mounted all elements onto dark brown card stock.

Hope you enjoyed this card. Happy crafting!

Christmas Shaker Card with Liliuska

October 9, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello Everyone! Have you finished making your Christmas cards? I sure hope you still have need to make some more, as I have a Christmas shaker card to share with you today. I used Studio Katia MERRY POINSETTIA stamp set. The flowers from this set are so beautiful and absolutely perfect for any Christmas card!

I stamped the images on Bristol Smooth cardstock with embossing ink and heat embossed them with gold embossing powder. For my medium I chose ZIG watercolour markers. I didn’t use any water here, simply blended with lighter colours.

For the shaker I die cut out a round frame our of golden glitter cardstock using a die from FANCY SCALLOP CIRCLE DIES. I cut out 4 more frames from white cardstock and glued them together, adhering a transparency between them and the golden glittery frame.

Since the frame is pretty big, I decided to glue some GOLD FOIL PEARLS inside the shaker window, before filling it with SPARKLING SEA CONFETTI, which I love to use for winter cards. I also added few GOLD FOIL PEARLS in the middle of each poinsettia. I die cut out a panel out of white woodgrain cardstock using largest die from MERRY POINSETTIA DIES.

After I adhered coloured images on top of the shaker frame, I decided to add a sentiment. The shaker frame was large enough to stamp a sentiment onto the shaker background (by the way, if you don’t like making shaker cards for winter holidays, you can simply use the layout and stamp the sentiment inside the frame), but I felt I needed another glittery element here and so I die cut out word MERRY from MERRY POINSETTIA DIES out of the same glitter cardstock as the frame and three more out of white cardstock. I glued them together shifting top die cut slightly off to give it a white shadow. I adhered everything onto a dark blue cardstock from my stash to match the colour of the poinsettias and the SPARKLING SEA CONFETTI.

Thank you for stopping by today and have a wonderful day!!

Spiderweb Halloween Shaker Card with Ilda

October 3, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Halloween, Shaker Cards

Happy Thursday Friends, Ilda here!

This week the Studio Katia Design Team has been showcasing Halloween Inspiration Cards. If you missed them click here to see more fun projects shared by our creative team.

For my card, I started off by laying the SPIDER-WEB STENCIL onto the background panel and then used a watermark ink to stamp over the entire area. I then removed the stencil and sprinkled it using black embossing powder to heat set the background.

Next, I die cut the center of the panel using the SPIDER WEB SHAKER die and then used a piece of an ACETATE SHEET to create the window for the shaker.

For the Happy Halloween that is die-cut on the inside of the shaker, I used the HALLOWEEN TRIMMINGS DIES and did some partial die cutting onto a piece of white cardstock that I then later blended out some distress oxide colors onto using the new INK BLENDER BRUSHES.

I then glued a few RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS onto the shaker area and then added some SPOOKY SATIN CONFETTI to the center before gluing on the top panel to close in the shaker area.

To finish off the card, I stamped out the pumpkins from the MEOWY HALLOWEEN set, colored them in with Copics and then fussy cut them as I didn’t have the coordinating dies. I then added some cute GOOGLY EYES to them and then glued them to the card front. I also added a few more RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS to embellish this fun card.
