Amanda’ Card

Amanda created a Best Mom card, Best Ever stamp set features hand drawn calligraphy, that’s a great addition and can be used with virtually any stamp set.

Galina’s CardI created my card using fabulous stamp set “Floral Trimming” I stamped both floral borders close to each other on the white cardstock and colored flowers with Copic markers. Then I diecuted small circles using inner die from Dotted Patterns – Loops and glued negative die cut on the card base with adhesive tape and small round die cuts I attached with adhesive foam to create dimensional background. For the sentiment You’re Spectacular from And The Fox Says Clear Stamp Set. 

Svitlana’s CardFor my card I decided to use one of my favorite technique – spotlight image. I stamped a Floral Trimming onto a card base. Also stamped it one more time onto a panel and die-cut three hexagons using Dotted Mini Tags 1 Die Set out of this panel. I colored die-cut images and foam mounted them onto the card.

Using Best Ever Die Set I die – cut two words for the sentiment, colored them using COPICs and adhered onto the card. Stamped the word ‘friend’ and added clear drops to finish off the card.

Olga’s Card

I started working on my card by heat embossing floral trimmings in Hero Arts white embossing powder. Next, I colored images with Zig markers. I really wanted to make a spring card. So I took delicate and bright colors: blue, yellow, pink, pale pink, green and light green, mint. All together they look great and create a pleasant mood.

Then I stamped “You’re so wonderful” sentiment using black ink onto my cardstock.

Once my background was finished I added some Mint Dream Crystals mix

Thank You for stopping by!

Erum’s Card

I used Dotted Patterns Set 1 to die cut my front red panel. Then used a Tim Holtz stencil to make the “rays”.
Next, I stamped Kobi onto watercolour paper with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and coloured him with Prismacolours. After that I die cut the images with a coordinating die.

The most amazing thing is that the die cuts a slit on Kobi’s paw, so if you want you can make him hold objects! I think it’s quite clever!
I chose to add the bouquet of roses stamp for Kobi.

In the end, I heat embossed a sentiment on black cardstock and popped both Kobi and the sentiment label onto the card front using foam tape.
Lastly, I added a few Magic Crystal Hearts. They look divine in person!

Fall + Winter Release Preview – Last Day!

/ CATEGORIES - New Release, Sneak Peek, Winter Holidays

Hello and welcome to Day 4 of our Fall+Winter Release Preview Week.

Today is the last Preview Day before the Big Reveal tomorrow and our New Release Blog Hop. We are so excited about all the new products coming to the store on September 15th! Enjoy more fabulous stamp sets today and fantastic creations from our Design Team. They had a blast playing with all new stamps, dies and embellishments.

These Fall and Winter themed products will be available On September 15th!

Laura
I started off by stamping and colouring images from the Sweet Holiday set and die cutting them with coordinating dies. For the background I cut out scalloped rectangle die, heat embossed the sentiment using white embossing powder and starry sky with clear glitter embossing powder. I created snowy hillsides by cutting out scalloped rectangle from white cardstock and cutting hillside shapes out of it.

For my card base I layered heavyweight white cardstock cut to 4 1/4″ by 5 1/2″ with red cardstock cut to 4 1/8″ by 5 3/8″. I thought this would help me frame my scene and tie in the red elements in the stamped images with the rest of the card. I then glued everything to my card base, and, for a finishing touch, I added a few of the newly released Snow Crystals around the sentiment.

Natalia
Winter holidays are my favorite, so there was no question about what I want to create with the Sweet Holiday set. I like making shakers for every season, especially winter. I started with die cutting a scalloped frame for the shaker. I inked the background, stamped, coloured and die cut images for the scene. I covered the background scene with acetate, that way sequins won’t touch the house, nor the snow banks in the background. Now I just need to arrange the characters and – my favourite part – fill the shaker with sequins. I used Iridescent Magnolia Fusion; Vintage Sheer Fusion; Majestic; Silver Dust Seed Beads and Clear Dust Seed Beads.

 

Kaja
As soon as I saw the new Friends of winter set I fell in love! Thats why I decided to stamp all of the images and colour them with my alcohol markers. In the end, I only ended up using the Santa on this card, but I will use the others on another project. I wanted to keep the card quite simple so I blended only two colours of ink in the background. I left the bottom part of the card white.

While the colours were still wet I used some perfect pearls on top of them for a lovely shimmer. The last thing on the background were the white splotches that I made with white paint. I just had to try new Dotted patterns – scalloped frames die, so I put it as a focal point behind my Santa. I trimmed the background just a bit for a nice white border around the edge. It looks like the white splotches are snow so I stamped the sentiment that says Let it snow from Friends of winter set to finish off the card.

Olga

Olga created fun and colourful wobbler card for today’s preview. Those googly eyes are just perfect to add to the images as another fun detail.

We hope you have enjoyed this look at Sweet Holiday Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies and Friends of Winter Stamp Set & Coordinating Dies! Come back tomorrow for the Big Reveal of our Release and a Blog Hop filled with fabulous and inspiring projects!!

Erum
I stamped the single flower and several leaves from the Marry Poinsettia Stamp Set. I was going for a no-line watercolour look. I embossed a panel for the card front and popped on Dotted Shaker Tag using foam tape. I then die cut my flowers and leaves using the coordinating dies for the Merry Poinsettia Stamp Set and arranged them on to the tag. In the end I die cut the word Merry in silver and glued it on the tag. For some bling I added beautiful Majestic Fusion Sequin Mix and for pop of colour I added some home made enamel dots in red.
Isn’t it just a beautiful stamp set?! And you get THREE flowers with beautiful sentiment stamps.

Galachko
I used a stamp set Merry Poinsettia and a die sentiment from coordinating dies. I colored flowers using alcohol markers and decorated middle of the flowers with gold beads. I cut out few phrases using black cardstock and glued several diecuts to get a nice pop-up embellishment. I cut a panel using Fancy Square dies and painted the frame with gold paint.

Svetlana
For today’s preview I have a fun wintery shaker card featuring Winter Kobi stamp set. First I’ve stamped and coloured Christmas lights for the background. Next I’ve stamped Kobi, Santa’s sack and sleigh, coloured them and die cut the images using the coordinating dies. I made a frame for the shaker and filled it with new Iridescent Veil, Majestic Confetti, Clear Round Drops and Silver Dust beads. This turned out to be a very fun scenery card.

For today’s card I decided to make the pumpkin white, I love white pumpkins a lot. So elegant. I colored flowers and die-cut the image using matching dies. I cut a panel using a die from Dotted Patterns – Scalloped Frames and cut a window inside using a die from the same set. To finish off the card I added a sentiment die cut with a die from the Giving Thanks Die Set.

Kristina

I’m so excited to show to you my Thanksgiving shaker card for today’s post! I coloured stamped images in fall colours and used coordinating dies to die-cut them. I made a shaker using dies and iridescent sequins from new release. I die cut the Thanks sentiment, which also comes with an outline and really makes the sentiment pop.

 

Tracy

This set is so pretty and can be used in so many different ways! I kept my card fairly simple. I used new Dotted Nested Square dies and die cut some plaid paper and some vellum. For the sentiment I went with a simple thanks and used the die from the Giving Thanks set and die cut it from some gold card stock. I adhered the panel onto a Kraft card base and popped the coloured piece up using some foam tape. I finished off with the really pretty new foil confetti.

And here is today’s featured stamp set:

Hi it’s Rowena here and I’m very excited to have my very first post as a design team member for Studio Katia. Today I created a fun Halloween card featuring ‘Kobi the Grim Reaper’ stamp set illustrated by Zlatina Gocheva.

I stamp all my images with memento tuxedo black ink and colored them with copics. I then fussy cut each images, this set came with matching dies but I wanted to make them stand out from my background.

For the night sky I blended some distress inks. I used: abandoned coral, seedless preserves, chipped sapphire, and black soot. I cut a black cardstock to use as my ground. Adhered everything with foam tape and that finishes the card. Thanks for stopping by and till next time!!

 

Hello Studio Katia fans, Amanda here today with my very first project as a Design Team member. I can honestly say my eyes lit up when I saw this amazing Meowy Halloween Stamp and die set.

I started by working on the background for my card. (You can read all the details on how I achieved the night sky look on my blog.) Once that was finished, I stamped, die cut and Copic colored and glued down all my images from the Meowy Halloween stamp set. I wanted to put these cute kitties in a big spooky pumpkin patch!

I then stamped a sentiment from Meowy Halloween onto the banner die that comes in this new release die set, Dotted Patterns Scallop Frames, and popped it up with some foam tape. Lastly I added some of the green sequins from the mix, Witches Cauldron Sequin Fusion for a bit of extra sparkle.

I hope you’ve enjoyed my card, stay tuned for more inspiration during this preview week here at Studio Katia!
