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!

Hello evereyone!

Galina is here and for today I want to share with you a fun technique for making multilayered backgrounds. I created a spicy orange background for my pumkin shaker.

How to make this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel

I was playing with different distress inks. I applied them on the watercolor paper directly with the ink pad and sprayed with water. I dried the paper and repeated the ink smooshing a few more times.

I cut out a shaker window using a medium die from the Shaker Pumpkin Die set. I attached the clear acetate sheet behind the card panel and foam mounted it on the green card base. For The shaker elements I used green and orange sequins as well as Orange color Pearls.

I embellish the pumpkin with leaves and plastic flowers from LILAC BUSH FUSION sequin mix. On the card panel I added more gold and green pearls. I attached them with liquid glue from Studio Katia.

Rainbow color winter card

Hello everyone!

Today I have another winter card to share with you. It’s not a Christmas card, it’s a little note to say thank you using awesome winter stamps and alphabet dies, with which you can create any phrases you want, and combine with sentiment stamps.

To create this card I stamped a lot of different snowflakes from the Snowflakes Stamp set using distress oxide inks. On each stamp I applied 2-3 color of ink, I mixed yellow and pinks, green and mint colors. I cut out snowflakes with coordinating dies and paced them on the card paced.

Next I covered all the snowflakes with masking tape and cut out a rectangle panel using a big rectangle die with a round corners from DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3. To create a sentiment I cut out a word SNOW with an alphabet dies from silver mirror cardstock and I combined it with a stamped sentiment.

A Cup of Thanks with Emily

October 5, 2020 / 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.

Happy Wednesday Friends, Ilda here!

I am back today with a few Thanksgiving Inspiration Cards. Even though 2020 has been such a terrible year for all of us around the world, there is still so much to be thankful for.

CARD DETAILS

I began these cards by stamping out the images from the AUTUMN BORDERS stamp set (which by the way is currently on sale if you are interested). I used VersaFine Onyx Ink and then heat set it with a clear embossing powder so that I could do some really easy water coloring using Karin Brushmarkers.

Once the images were dry I die cut them out using the coordinating AUTUMN BORDERS DIES. Under each die-cut, I left enough room to add a sentiment from the AUTUMN BORDERS set and then trimmed excess paper underneath.

I then popped up the strips using foam tape and attached them to these beautiful backgrounds and finished them off by adding some pearls. On this card, I used the AMETHYST PEARLS.

To create these beautiful backgrounds, I used the MINI ARCS STENCIL, and I created my own gold paste (because I didn’t have any) by mixing Platinum Embellishment Mousse with a little bit of Solar Flare Shimmer Powder.

Doesn’t the pattern remind you of acorn tops? Such a pretty design and I just love the texture this paste created.

To finish off this card I added WINE BERRY PEARLS. Love how these cards turned out!

I hope these Thanksgiving cards inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Bee cosiness with Natalia

July 2, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Thank You Cards

Hi there! It’s Natalia here. Today I would like to share my card with HONEY BEES and POTTED PLANTS sets.

First, I stamped the cute images from the HONEY BEES and POTTED PLANTS. Colored with copic markers and die cut with coordinating dies and scissors. I made highlights using white and silver pen.

I took two panels of white cardstock. I cut out a window in the upper panel using paper knife. I inked the lower panel with Distress Inks. I added some splatters to the upper frame panel using colors of the lower panel inking.

Placed all the elements on the white paper panel using double-sided foam tape. Heat embossed the sentiment from FLORAL WREATH using silver powder. Decorated everything with MAJESTIC sequins.

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

Thank You Alcohol Ink Card

June 18, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Thank You Cards

Welcome, friends!

Thanks for stopping by to check out my card today!

One of my favorite design schemes for a card is to create an alcohol ink background and then create a focal element to pop up from the middle – and that’s what I did for today’s card!

Let’s get started!

Begin by creating your alcohol ink background. There are no rules for this part! I used alcohol ink glossy cardstock (different from Yupo paper), Blending Solution, Turquoise and Flamingo alcohol inks.

I applied the blending solution in a diagonal direction across my cardstock and then applied a few drops of both the Turquoise and Flamingo alcohol ink across the line of blending solution I’d applied. I then used a straw to blow the alcohol inks around, getting them to move and blend with each other. I purposefully chose colors that would look nice in the areas in which they overlapped, and that’s why you see that pretty purple in the bottom corner!

After the alcohol ink panel dried, I set it aside and stamped the main floral image from the Floral Wreath stamp set on to white cardstock. I fussy-cut the wreath out and then colored it with my copic markers. I chose the “thank you” sentiment and stamped that in the center of the wreath.

I applied foam tape on the back of the wreath and then applied that down to my alcohol ink panel before gluing that completed panel down to a cut and scored 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base.

That finishes up the card for today! I hope you’ll give this look a try, because it’s so easy to mass product!

Thanks for hanging out with me today, and happy crafting!

Rainbow Thanks

April 24, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Thank You Cards

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today sharing a card I created that’s super easy and you can even get the kids involved.

I started off with take the Halftone Dots Circle Die and marking the edge out onto some Neenah card and then taking colours to create a rainbow using Spectrum Noir Classique Markers I coloured in the area, this is the part that kids love because they can just scribble as you really don not need to be neat.

Once that was done I covered the whole piece with a doubled sided adhesive sheet.

I then die cut the Halftone Die into some Neenah and trimmed the panel down to fit onto an A2 card. I adhered this over the rainbow piece making sure all the edges were well stuck.

I then took some Studio Katia Sparkle glitter and applied it all over and used some scrap paper to push over the top making sure the glitter was in place before brushing off any excess. Just look how beautiful this glitter is.

Using the Thanks die from the A cup of thanks dies I die cut 3 pieces of white card and one piece of black card and adhered them together, but very slightly offsetting the black to give a slight shadown .

I adhered all the card together and played around with some different gems but decided to leave it clean and simple.

The great thing about this card is that is something you can make with the kids, its quick and it is also bright.

I hope you like it and its given you some inspiration.

Thank you so much for stopping by today. Have a great day and happy crafting.

Thank You card with Isha Gupta

January 22, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone! Isha here sharing a pretty pastel floral thank you card. I always need thank you cards so it’s a good idea to keep up my collection. What kind of cards do you tend to make the most?

I started by creating a square white cardbase. Now, I took a white layer and sponged tumbled glass distress oxide using the blending brushes to it. Die-cut this piece using the Dotted Nested Square die. I then die-cut the oval using the Elegant Scallop Oval die. I flicked some white paint to this piece and let dry. I adhered this layer to the cardbase. Now, I stamped the sentiment using clear ink and em,bossed it using Vintage Peacock embossing powder by WOW! I stamped and embossed the tiny floral using white embossing powder onto vellum. Color the flowers using copic markers. I always add the touch of color to the back side of my vellum flowers. Adhere the flowers to form a triangle to emphasize onto the sentiment.
