/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone!

Galina today with you. I want to show how easily you can turn the die cuts into stencils! On my today’s card I made an ink blended background using SIMPLE DOTTED BORDERS 1.

How I made this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel. 

  At first, I cut out a mask for the tulip image. I cut it out from a masking paper using a coordinating die and I attached it on a white A2 card panel.

I cut out a two stencils using a border die from SIMPLE DOTTED BORDERS 1. I cut it out from a thick vellum piece, a bit larger than A2 panel. I got a two curved pieces that I used as stencils.

I taped my DIY stencil to the card panel and I different inks.

I stamped the image from HAPPY TULIPS Stamp set with black Memento ink and I colored the flower a bit with alcohol based markers.

Also, I cut out a sentiment from the vellum and a black cardstock using SCRIPT THANKS DIE. 

To embellish the card I picked ICY SPARKLE CRYSTALS.

Rainbow, Tulips, Thanks a Bunch Card,Studio Katia, Watercolors,Karin Brush Marker Pro,Spring, Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to,

Happy humpday Crafty friends, Ilda here👋
 
Today’s card features some new goodies from the latest release. Tulips are some of my favorites so of course, had to add my rainbow touch to them.
 
CARD RECIPE
 
To begin I stamped the Happy Tulips out onto watercolor paper and then colored them using Karin Brush Pro Markers. Once the paper was dry I die cut them out using the coordinating Happy Tulips Die.
 
Next, I used 3 ink pads (linked below) to blend out the background that peeks through the HALFTONE DOTS COVER DIE that I then glued on top of the card front.
 
Lastly, I created the sentiment by combining the SCRIPT THANKS DIE, with a sentiment from the BERRY SWEET SENTIMENTS that I had trimmed to fit under the Thanks.

To finish, I used the new MAGIC PEARLS scattered on the various sizes of the dotted cover. To the Tulip’s heads, I added a little extra sparkle by painting them with Liquid Pixie Dust.

 

I hope you found this Rainbow Springtime Tulip Thank You Bunch Card inspiring. Rainbows make me happy and I hope these brought some happiness to your day today!

 

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

Hello everyone!

Card backgrouds using clay e,bellishments. Video

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone!

Galina is here and I want to show you how I made the card backgrounds using clay envelopes  and Large polka doe Stencil 🙂

How to quickly and easily embellish the card with small clay embellishments you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel.

For my first bee-mail card I add envelopes randomly on the ink blended card panel. I cut out the panel using the biggest die from Dotted Patterns set 1. Also I cut out the envelope from whiteand silver cardstock using Envelope Shaker die.

I stamped two bees from the Honey Bees Stamp set and colored them with alcohol based Copic markers. I stamped a sentiment from the same stam set with dark blue ink.

For easier clay envelope positioning use a Stencil with repeatable pattern like – Large Polka Dot Stencil.

You can embellish the card with clay envelopes in different shapes and directions. I made a rectangle frame with envelopes using a Large Polka Dot Stencil as a guid.

 

And for sure you can create a full pattern of envelopes on a card background.

Thanks for stopping by!

A Cup of Thanks with Emily

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello, friends and Happy Monday! Today, I’m sharing a card featuring one of my all-time favourite floral images. Everything’s better with a teacup, right? The featured image is from A Cup of Thanks.
I stamped the image on watercolour cardstock and heat embossed it with sparkle embossing powder. Then I watercoloured it with distress inks and die cut it with the coordinating A Cup of Thanks Dies. I set the image aside and used the Stitched Borders Dies to create an anchor on a panel which I smooshed with coordinating inks to create a muted background.
I used my Tool ‘N One to randomly remove some of the die cut circles from the border. Then I die cut the Mini Thank You Die from graphite foil and adhered both die cuts to fun foam for dimension.
I ink blended the edges of the card base with Old Paper distress ink to coordinate with the leaves and adhered all the layers to the card base. To embellish the card, I stacked three types of sequins – Iridescent Bubbles – Tiny, Majestic Confetti and Magic Mint Fusion – using liquid glue and an embellishment wand.
Please visit me on my blog, Instagram and YouTube channel for more inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by!
