Thanks a Bunch! with Olga

May 20, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Thank You Cards

Hi everyone! I have a citrus card to share with you today featuring Citrus Trimmings Clear Stamp Set.

To make a frame I stamped both images onto watercolor paper and colored them with ZIG markers. Once the surface was dry, I splattered some brown and white paint over it to give it a more fun look. Next, I stamped “I’m grapeful for your friendship. Thanks a bunch!” sentiment in the center.

I embellished this project using Clear Round Drops. And my card is finished!

Hope, you’ll like my card! And I’m grapeful for your friendship!

Thanks A Million With Tracy

May 16, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Thank You Cards

Hey lovelies, I hope you are having a great week with lots of crafting time.

As you know Katia now has stencils. Now I am a stencil snob, over the years i have had so many thin and flimsy stencils but I am happy to report that Katia’s stencils are fantastic quality and so great to use.

I am loving the Confetti Stencil, its a great all round stencil…which you can also rotate and use that way and it looks AWESOME.

One of my favourite inks to use with stencils is Distress Oxides, I especially like these inks on dark cardstock and that is what i am going to be creating today.

I am using the below Distress Oxide Ink colours.

I trimmed down some black card stock and taped the Confetti Stencil to the card and then in rainbow order applied the Oxide inks.

It is hard to pick up on a photo but they almost look velvet like on black card…so pretty.

Once it was all dry I used the rectangle from Dotted Patterns Set 1 die set to die cut the piece out.

I then used the Thanks A Million Stamp from the Dots Stamp Set and co ordinating die and heat embossed it in white as I wanted it to pop from the background.

I thought it needed some extra texture so I added some gold thread behind the sentiment and then to tie that in with the main card I used a gold gel pen to add some dot detailing.

I adhered everything to a card base made from the same black card which i trimmed to 3.3/4″ x 5.1/4″ . To finish the whole card off i added some Satin Rainbow confetti.

I had so much fun creating this and love working with this stencil.

I hope I have inspired you today. Don’t forget we love to see your Studio Katia creations so make sure you tag us on social media or use the hashtag studiokatia.

I hope you have a great day!

Guest Designer | Floral Cards with Alexandra

April 27, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Floral Cards, Guest Designer, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone!

Alexandra from made by Alexandra having the honour to guest design for Studio Katia today and wanted to share with you projects that I have created.

First is this floral card and I have to say that I just love how the Spring Bouquet stamp set come with the flowers already arranged in a bouquet and you don’t need to mask or try to figure out yourself how to arrange the flowers in a bouquet, which for me is the most struggling part when I create a floral card. 🙂

To start the card I die cut a piece a water color cardstock using Dotted Patterns : Scallop Frames creative dies and the stamped and embossed using white embossing powder and Versamark ink.

For the coloring I used distress inks which I just smooshed onto a piece of acetate and just picked the color with a water brush. After the coloring was completely dries I went ahead and die cut a circle using Dotted Patterns : Fancy circle Creative dies kept all the tiny pieces and adhered the circle back in place using foam tape to create an inlaid technique . Final touch for the card was to add Clear round drops mix and this card was done.

And while i was playing with florals I couldn’t resist that gorgeous flower from Japanese Peony stamp set and created two cards.

Lately I’ve enjoyed using my alcohol markers to create alcohol ink backgrounds and this peony was the right size for my backgrounds so I stamped it using VersaMark in on vellum and for one card I used white embossing powder and for the other one I used gold embossing powder.

For this card I used the word ”friend” from the Spring bouquet coordinating dies and the other part of the sentiment is stamped and embossed on black cardstock, and added some Iridescent bubbles drops.

For the second card I used the sentiment from Spring bouquet stamp set and this time I embossed using gold embossing powder on black cardstock , and added a few Clear round drops mix.

And while I love floral cards I always tend to gravitated towards cute critters and Kobi from Kobi the birthday bear stamp set is just way too cute not to play with him 🙂 So here is a my last card as guest designer and is all about Kobi.

For this card I started by stamping that cutie and all the accessories using a light ink and coloured the images using my alcohol markers, trying to achieve a no line coloring. Also felt the need of adding some details to Kobi and for that I used a brown Polychromos pencil and for highlighting the images and for the dots from Kobi’s cheeks I used a white gel pen.

I also die cut the main panel using Dotted Patterns : Loops creative dies and Dotted Patterns : Fancy circle creative dies.

The ”happy birthday” sentiment is from Kobi the birthday bear stamp set and the ”friend ” is from Spring bouquet coordinating dies , to add a bit more interest I also added some sequins from Shimmering ice fusion.

Thank you so much for having me Katia, I had so much fun creating these cards and playing along with all amazing goodies!

Have a lovely day!

Whimsical Town with Svetlana

April 24, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello everybody! Today I have a shaker card for you.

To make the card I used Whimsical town stamp set. First, I cut out a circle window in a white panel using a die fron Dotted patterns: Fancy Circle. Next, I stamped some houses on the panel with the window and the card base, so that half of tge house would be on the panel and half of it inside the window.

I colored houses on the panel with distress inks and left everything inside the die cut window black and white, except for the tiny heart balloon. Next I’ve put a circle shaker together filling it with different sequins, beeds and confetti.

Have a great day!

Citrus Trimmings with Rowena

April 19, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello crafty friends Rowena here with a simple thank you card using ‘Citrus Trimming‘ stamp set.

For today’s card I kept it pretty simple and straight forward. Let’s get started! I trimmed a 3 inch wide by 5 and half in length white cardstock. I colored my citrus trimming with my copic markers.

Once my image is complete, I added a grey cardstock to my panel to add some dimension. Then I white heat embossed the sentiment using the same grey cardstock.

Once all my elements are complete, it’s time to finish the card. I added foam tape to my panel and as well as the sentiment. I also added glossy accent to my citrus(it’s hard to see on the picture but it’s there). I mounted everything onto a A2 size card and added some iridescent bubbles to finish the card.

I hope you enjoyed today’s project! Till next time and happy crafting!

Hugs,

Rowena

Metallic Citrus Trimmings With Tracy

April 18, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello lovelies, I hope you are all having a great week ?

This week some of the team are showcasing the awesome Citrus Trimmings Stamp set. This set like the Floral Trimmings set can be used in so many ways.

I have got a slight addiction lately to using metallic watercolours, I love how easy they are to use and also the effect they give and wanted to try them out with this set.

I started off by heat embossing the two citrus trimmings stamps onto some black card…this is not watercolour card and along as you don’t add too much water or start to blend i have found this takes these paints really well.

I used clear embossing powder, but looking at this card now I wish i’d used gold. I mixed some of the colours as I didn’t have a “true” orange type colour and once that was done I set about painting and when i was happy i left it to dry. As you can see in the picture about the shimmer you get is beautiful and works so well with the citrus colours.

I trimmed down a piece of black card and heat embossed the “I’m grateful for your friendship” I LOVE any form of punny sentiment so had to use this.

I adhered this all to a black card base and added some of the Gold crystals to just add a little extra sparkle.

This was certainly a fun and different way to use this set.

Have you enjoyed the teams creations so far ? What would you create with this set ? Let us know in the comments below.

I hope you have a great day.

Happy crafting.

Stenciled Background Shaker Card with Laura

April 6, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Thank You Cards

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a shaker card with a stenciled background I made using the new Confetti Creative Stencil.
To start off this card I created the shaker front: I cut some smooth cardstock using the Dotted Patterns Set – 1 Creative Dies and I blended Distress Oxide in Peacock Feathers over the entire panel. I added some water splashes for a fun look, and created the opening for my shaker card using one of the dies in the Dotted Patterns: Scallop Square Creative Dies.

For the shaker background I used the Confetti Stencil and Nuvo Mousse in Coral Calypso to create a fun pattern. I used the same Nuvo Mousse to add color to both my card base, which I cut using the Dotted Patterns: Darling Ribbon Creative Dies, and to the word friend, that I cut using one of the word dies in the Spring Bouquet Coordinating Dies. For the rest of the sentiment I used the Label Messages Clear Stamp Set and its coordinating dies. I stamped it with brown ink and heat embossed it with clear embossing powder.

I cut a frame from brown cardstock using the Dotted Patterns: Loops Creative Dies and then I started working on the floral element of my card. I used images from the Together We Bloom Clear Stamp Set: I heat embossed them with white embossing powder, watercolored them with Nuvo Mousses in Coral Calypso and Citrus Green. I then die cut the images with the coordinating dies.
For the shaker elements I used a mix of Majestic Confetti and Crystal Clear Confetti, because I though they would complement nicely the shaker background I created with the Confetti Stencil.

And here is a close up of that pretty shaker background!

And that’s it for today! I really hope you liked this card and I hope I inspired you to create with the beautiful Confetti Stencil.
Thank you all so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Guest Designer | Flower Elf Cards with Olesya

February 25, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Floral Cards, Guest Designer, Thank You Cards

Hello! My name’s Olesya and I am super happy to be a guest designer at Studio Katia. Their products are of a very good quality and oh those sequins and mixes 🙂 one love!
I have prepared three cards using Studio Katia stamps and dies.

Using gold foil and double-sided tape I made several stripes on the card base.
I stamped a flower from Thank you so much stamp set three times to cut each layer of the flower and pop it up using some foam tape. Colored them with Zig brush pens. Die cut a Thank you sentiment with Thank you so much coordinating dies out of gold foil cardstock. Added a couple Nuvo glitter drops in Honey Gold.

I stamped the images from Thank you so much set and Friends of Winter set using Memento Tuxedo Black ink to color them in with Chameleon alcohol markers and pencils. Cut the elf apart and adhered him as if he’s a flower elf 🙂 Added a sentiment from Blooming Bunch stamp set.

Stamped the image from Blooming Bunch stamp set directly onto a card base, colored it in with Zig brush pens. Die cut a flower with Thank you so much dies, cut it apart to make it look like a bush. Stamped and die cut the elf, colored with Chameleon pencils. Added wings to the garden fairy using left overs after die cutting a bow using Fancy Square dies.

Thank you for stopping by!
Have a wonderful day!
