Underwater card by Galina

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Other, Valentines Day Cards

Hello everyone! It’s Galina with you today and I want to share with you summer nautical card. I used small stamp set with mermaids and shell die.

I start with cutting few card panels one from dark blue cardstock and one from white cardstock. On the white card panel I applied blue, dark blue and violet colors of distress inks and then I add splashes with water.

In same way, I create a background for a shell. but in the end I decided to add dark blue stripes through the wave stencil. So, I cut out two shells, one from colorful panel and one from white cardstock and mixed negative die cuts.

Next I stamped and colored mermaid couple with watercolor markers. I foam mount shell and stamped image in the centre of my card.

At last I embellish my card with transparent bubbles. To glue them I used strong liquid glue from Studio Katia.

Thank you for stopin by!

High Contrast Floral Card with Laura

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a card created with the beautiful Japanese Peonie stamp set. There is a video too at the end of this post, where I share all the details of the card making process – make sure to check it out and to subscribe to the SK channel, if you haven’t already!
The image I used today is part of the Japanese Peonie stamp set, was colored with Spectrum Noir ColourBlend pencils and die cut with the coordinating dies. 
I glued it over a background created with Distress Inks and the Underwater Sun Light Rays stencil. I used contrasting colors to the ones I chose for the peonie, in order to drive make the flower stand out. 
The stenciled background was cut with the Dotted Patterns, Set 3 dies and glued over some black cardstock, that I had previously die cut with the Darling Ribbon & Frames dies.
For the sentiment, I die cut some black cardstock with the coordinating dies to the Spring Bouquet stamp set. I also stamped the word sending from the Japanese Peonie set.

As a final step, I embellished the the card with some sequins from the Majestic mix. 

And here is the video for you, showing you how to create this floral card with the beautiful Japanese Peonie stamp set. I hope you like it!

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

Floral pattern card with Galina

/ CATEGORIES - Other

Hello everyone! It’s Galina with you today and I want to share with you a birthday card with beautiful floral pattern. I used one big stamp and a sentiment stamp.

At first I cut out a card panel from watercolor cardstock using rectangle scallop die and I covered edges with masking tape to create nice white frame around floral background.

Next, I stamp floral image with archival black ink and colored it with Prima watercolor paints. I used 4 main colors: red, yellow, green and dark blue and simply mixed them directly on paper.

At last, I heat embossed a sentiment on black cardstock with bright yellow embossing powder WOW amd fam mount my sentiment on the card.

Hope you will like this card!

Have a great day

Hi everyone! I have a one layer card to share with you today!

I used the gorgeous Floral Garden Stamp on my card. This is such a versatile stamp set that it looks different if you use it at a different angle. For my card today, I stamped the image off the edge at an angle.

I have done this previously as well but instead of the florals emerging from the top edge, this time I swapped the design so the florals are coming out of the bottom edge.

I used alcohol markers to colour the images and to add faux dimension, I used a grey colour around the image.

To finish off, I stamped the sentiment from the Aloha Stamp Set.

That is all from my side, I hope you liked my card!

Clean Floral Card with Laura

/ CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a card I created with the You’re So Sweet stamp set! There is also a video for you, showing how you can add texture to your floral images. You can find it at the end of this post or on the Studio Katia channel.

I started by stamping my images with Spectrum Noir  Finesse Black ink on Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock and coloring them with Spectrum Noir markers. I then used my colored pencils and a white gel pen to add some details and create interest on my images.
I die cut them with the coordinating dies and moved on to the card base.

For that, I layered two sheets of white cardstock. The one at the back was die cut with the Darling Ribbon and Frames dies. The one at the front was cut with the Scallop Hearts Cover die first, and with the Halftone Dots Cover die afterwards.

I heat embossed the sentiment, also part of the You’re so Sweet stamp set, using white embossing powder over black cardstock. I created a little label and used my corner chomper to round three of its edges.

I finished off the card front with some Sparkling Sea confetti and decorated the inside of the card (you can see how in the video tutorial).

Speaking of video tutorial, if you are interested to see how to create this clean and simple floral card, here’s the video for you.

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today sharing a card I recently made using the Aloha Stamp set.

IMG-1723(1)

I started off by stamping the main stamp and coloring it using Spectrum Noir Markers and then die cut it out using the matching dies.

I then cut a piece of watercolour card to 5×5 and added some red splatter to it which I then dried. I took the Brush Stroke Waves Stencil and applied some Nuvo moose through it, I only wanted a certain area so I kept checking to make sure I will keeping to the area I wanted.

IMG-1721(1)

Whilst I waited fot that to dry I took the Thanks die from the A Cup Of Thanks dies and die cut it 3 times with some matt gold card, I adhered them all together for dimension.

When everything was dry I assembled the card, I picked an orange card base to go with the flower and also used some of the same gold card for mat and layering.

To add some differenent interest I took a piece of vellum and tore it to size and adhered it behind the floral spray.

To finish the whole card off I added some gold confetti.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have an amazing weekend.

No Line Watercolour CAS Birthday Card with Erum

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Other

Hi! Erum here today with a clean and simple no line watercolour birthday card!

I used the Birthday Balloons Duo Stencil and lightly traced three balloons of various sizes on to watercolour cardstock. I wanted to create a vintage yet fun looking birthday card so decided to go with the no-line watercolour look.

I watercoloured the balloons and tried to show them overlapping and also tried to show that you could see through the balloons.

Once the watercolour was dry, I added a bit of grey background and then drew strings on the balloons.

I then stamped the greeting from the It’s Your Birthday Stamp Set and added fine black paint splatters.

To finish off, I adhered a few Vintage Shimmer Pearls.

I hope you liked my card! I really like how it turned out! Thank you for stopping by!

Quick and Easy Card Using Large Stamps

/ CATEGORIES - Other

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today.

I recently saw someone say they felt intimidated by large stamps, especially large floral stamps. I decided to create a card thats not only quick to create, but you also do not need to be a colourist.

IMG-1528(1)

I wanted to go for a slightly faded, almost distressed look for this card and I have used the new Floral Garden Stamp and stamped it directly onto a top folding A2 card. I used Rose Gold inkpad for this and only stamped once for that look, I really wanted the Sentiment to pop.

For the sentiment I have used the new It’s Your Birthday Stamp set and I stamped that twice using black ink to make it really pop.

IMG-1529(1)

You could easily heat emboss this sort of stamp, or even use a watermark pad onto a dark coloured card, the possibilites are endless and you really do not need to color it to have an impact or make it a stamp you reach for time and time again.

I couldnt resist adding some of the new Pastel Rainbow Confetti to finish the card off and it is done.

IMG-1530(1)

So there is an easy way to use a large floral stamp that does not include colouring.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, have a great day .

Hey everyone, Tracy here with you today sharing a card I created using the Mosaic Hearts Stencil.

IMG-1362(1)

I started off by selecting the Oxide Inks I wanted to use and then secured the stencil over a piece of Neenah card. Starting from the top I used a ink blending tool and moved down the stencil in rainbow order, taking extra care and rather than moving in a circular motion as I normally would I used a swiping motion.

I then set that aside to dry and die cut a heart from some vellum and I used the thanks die from the A Cup Of Thanks co ordinating set and die cut it three times, once from silver glitter card and twice from Neenah. I adhered these today for dimension, slightly offsetting the glitter one to create a shadow effect.

IMG-1364(1)

I trimmed down some of the same silver card stock to slightly bigger than the stenciled piece which I die cut using Dotted Patterns Set One. I used some strong tape to adhere these together and onto a A2 cardbase.

I then started to assemble the card, for dimension I added some foam tape to the back of the vellum heart, hiding them behind the thanks.

To finish off I added some of the Crystal Rainbow Confetti.

Cards for Teachers by Erum

/ CATEGORIES - Back To School Cards, Cards, Other, Thank You Cards

Hi there everyone! Erum here. I have a fun colourful card set to share with you today. I actually made these for my nephew to give to his teachers on his last day of his current class.

I have actually “copied” one of my previous card designs and replicated the background but switched the stamps.

I started by adhering the die cut panel out of the Halftone Dots Cover Die to a plain cardstock panel of the same size. After the glue was dry, I applied watercolour to the panel and left it overnight to dry and straighten under heavy books.

I used the stamps from Kobi Loves School and used a mixed of watercolour and marker colouring to colour the images. I also added glossy accents to the balloons and the apple that Kobi’s holding.

Had so much fun making these cards and because giving these sort of handmade cards is still not as common here where I live, these were a hit among everyone!

I hope you like them too!

Thank you for stopping by.
