Border stamping

September 22, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hello everyone its Galina. Today I’m going to show super quick super easy and super one layered card. I’ll be focusing on the border stamping and masking technique.

How to made this card you can watch here or Studio Katia channel

On this card I’ll combining some tiny stamps with bigger ones to create a different sized border scene. On my first plan I want to see those small candles, so I’ll stamp them first. I m stamping directly on the card base using memento black ink. Also I stamped a spooky pattern using a spider web stamp seta skull stamp wiht purple ink. I colored all the images with copic markers.

Using a spider web stencil Icreated a pattern on the top of the card. I deocrate the card with jewe lgreen crystals.

Thanks for stopping by.

Lunchbox Notecards with Emily

September 21, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Back To School Cards, Other

My son had a very successful first week at school and I hope for more of the same this week. It’s been a long time since I made him lunchbox notecards and I think it’s a great time to surprise him again. I wanted to make something cute, of course, yet different so the Slider Tag Die made its maiden voyage through my craft room.

Those of you who’ve been following me for a while know that my son loves to play Minecraft and has dressed his player as a Creeper ever since he first started playing. He even dressed as a Creeper for Halloween three years ago. Since there are no Minecraft emojis, we use the cactus emoji to represent the Creeper. Hence, the use of the Cactus Hugs stamp set for these little notecards.

The coloured images, top layer and pull tab were all die cut from watercolour cardstock and the back was die cut from kraft cardstock. All of the images and sentiment, from Potted Plants, were heat embossed. I used distress inks to watercolour the images and ink blend both the top layers and pull tabs. I misted the top layers with shimmer spritz, attached the images with foam tape and added coordinating hemp cord to finish.

Please visit me on my blog, Instagram and YouTube channel for more inspiration. Thanks so much for stopping by!

Well Hey, Boo!

Ilda, here. Today I have a special little card for you! Not only is this little pumpkin adorable, it is also interactive and lights up for the recipient. How fun is that?! I am so addicted to these new to me EZ-lights that I’m sure you will be seeing a lot more of these light-up cards in the future!

CARD DETAILS

Here is how I made this card:

Die-cut 2 HALF STRIPED COVER frames, one orange, and one purple.
Rotate one Striped Cover over the other 90 degrees and glue together onto a white card panel.
Die-cut the top, bottom, and frame pieces for the pumpkin using the SHAKER PUMPKIN DIES
Glue the bottom of the pumpkin onto the center of the card panel.
Punch a hole through both the card panel and the pumpkin base (somewhere where it won’t be seen from the face openings.
Add vellum behind the pumpkin face and add foam tape to the outer edges of the pumpkin’s face.

Thread the EZ-Light wire from behind the panel through the hole you punched through the panel.
Tape down each EZ-Light so that the light is able to shine through the vellum areas of the pumpkin’s face. ( I taped them behind the top orange pumpkin layer)
Line up the pumpkin’s face with the back layer and adhere them together with the foam tape.
Glue down the pumpkin’s frame around the pumpkin.
Insert the battery and tape down the EZ-Light push button behind the area you want the recipient to push down on. Test the push area.
Tape the excess wires to the pack of the card panel, leaving room along with the edges to add foam around the border.

Attach to the card base.
Die-cut the letters from glitter craft foam using the CHUNKY ALPHABET and arrange and press onto the card front.
Instead of writing push or press on the area, I used the Miss You stamp from the SWEET HEART CANDY.
To finish, embellish with your favorite bling. (I used RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS and AMETHYST PEARLS).

Now let’s see how cool it looks when you light it up!

How cool is that right?

I hope you were inspired by this fun Halloween Light Up Card. I’m already planning my next one, lol! Make sure you are following me on Instagram, I will post a quick video of the card coming together.

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

Light Up Halloween Card with Laura

September 10, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with a light up Halloween card featuring the Meowy Halloween stamp set and a video tutorial, too! This card was so fun and easy to make – don’t forget to check out the video at the end of this post to see the step-by-step process!

The images in today’s card are part of the super cute Meowy Halloween Stamp set. They were colored with Triblend Alcohol Markers. . Here is the list of markers I used

Cat: Ice Gray Blend
Hat: Ice Gray Shade
Green: Apple Green Blend
Orange: Burnt Orange Blend
Teal: Aqua Blue Blend
Pink: Magenta Blend
Purple: Pink Violet Blend
Cat’s Ears: Fair Skin Blend

Once I was done coloring, I die cut the images with the coordinating dies.

For the card base, I used the Darling Ribbon and Frames dies and die cut some black cardstock.

I then die cut two panels out of watercolor cardstock using the Dotted Patterns Set 3 dies and the Loops dies. I added color to these panels using Distress Oxide Sprays in Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry, Wild Honey and Carved Pumpkin.

I also blended the edges of the panels with Distress Ink in Black Soot for some extra spookyiness!

For the light up part of the card I used EZ-Lights – they are really easy to use and in the video I share how I added them to this project. The LED lights shine through some spooky faces that I created using the Meowy Halloween coordinating dies. I have to say that I really had a lot of fun creating this card!

Next, I adhered the images and my sentiment, too and then moved on to finishing touches. I added Exotic Onyx Pearls and coated some of the images with a glitter brush pen and Glossy Accents.

And that’s it for my card! Don’t forget to check out the video tutorial below to see the step by step process!

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

Hello everyone! It’s Galina.

Today I’m going to use two my favorite techniques at one time to create a super quick and pretty thank you card.

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

At first I cut out the white panel using the biggest dir from DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3 . Also, on this card I used a beautiful stamp set – A CUP OF THANKS. I masked it and applied green ink through the SQUARE BRICK STENCIL.

I colored the stamped images with Copic markers, to color the cuo I used W000, W01, W03; red flowers R12, R00, YR65; leaves G20, G21.

To embelish the card I add a few white mat crystals between the flowers.

Thanks for stopping by.

No-Coloring Halloween Card with Laura

August 27, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a fun Halloween slimline card that does not require any coloring! As always, there is a video tutorial that shows the entire card making process – you will find it at the end of this post.

This card was inspired by the one in the picture above. I made this cute last week, during my weekly live stream on the Studio Katia page – you can watch the replay here and find the supplies for the card here. You can also join me every Thursday, including today, at 2 PM ET, if you enjoy crafty lives! There is also a 15$GC that is given away each week – one more reason to watch! 😉

Back to today’s card, I decided to use the Shaker Pumpkin Die for my focal point and the Dotted Slimline Set 2 for my card base. I die cut all the elements out of colored cardstock and added some shading with Distress Inks!

I used Wilted Violet and Black Soot on the purple panel, where I also used the Spider Web stencil. For the green panel I used Lucky Clover, Pine Needles and Black Soot Distress Inks.

I added some droplets for an additional fun effect and I stamped images from the Meowy Halloween stamp set on the green panel. This way I created a custom patterned paper effect, which adds even more interest to the project. The sentiment, from the same set, was heat embossed with clear embossing powder.

For the pumpkin, I started from some orange cardstock, that I shaded with Ripe Persimmon and Black Soot Distress Inks. I cut the leaf and the stem out of some green cardstock and blended Lucky Clover and Black Soot Distress Inks on top.

I also created spiderwebs out of dark grey cardstock. I used the Spider Web Shaker die, Distress Ink in Black Soot and FSJ Ink in Whip Cream.

I then coated some elements of the card with a glitter brush pen and finished everything off with some Seafoam, Amethyst and Onyx Black Pearls.

And that’s my card for today! Don’t forget to watch the video below for a step by step tutorial and make sure to subscribe to the Studio Katia channel for more inspiration!

Thank you all for stopping by and have a great day!

Slimline card with a colorful background. Video

August 25, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Other

Hello every one! It’s Galina with you. I have another slimline card design to share with you as well as a few ink background techniques.

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

I start by cutting out a card panel in a size of my slimline oval die, the large rectangle dies is about 3.25 inches x 8.25 inches
– oval die feature inside and outside dotted pattern with thin outline.

I applied few different distress ink on it as well as white pigment ink through the Sun Rays Stencil.

I stamped a few cute houses on a white paper as well as some clouds and trees, I used only 3 houses from the WHIMSICAL TOWN stapm set. I colored them with my alcohol markers.

From a light pink cardstock I’m going to cut out a rectangle panel with an oval window in the center. Also I prepared a white card base. I cut out it in a form of the card panel with out a two angles.

As for sentiment I picked two stems from another stamp set and combine the into nice phrase. I heat emboss the sentiment on the gray cardstock with white embossing powder.

To embellish my card I picked some crystal and flower sequins. I add a 3 flower sequins on the bottom and I get a nice garden near my houses, Also I mixed a green, blue and pink crystals and used them all on my card. Using tiny irredentist bubbles I add an extra shine on the flowers.

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Floral Thank You Card with Laura

August 6, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with a floral thank you card featuring the Floral Wreath stamp set. There is also a video at the end of this post, in case you are interested in a step by step tutorial.

The image I used today is part of the Floral Wreath stamp set. I stamped it with a light ink and colored it with Illustrator markers. I used IB3, IB1 for the petals, BP1 and BP3 for the centers of the flowers, and GT1 and GT3 for the leaves.

After I was done coloring, I heat embossed the image with Rose Glitz embossing powder.

I then die cut a circle out of white cardstock. I used one of the dies in the Dotted Patterns Set 1 and heat embossed the sentiment again with Rose Glitz embossing powder.

Next, I die cut my card base with the Rectangular Dots Cover die and sprinkled it with some Spectrum Noir Sparkle in the color Champagne. I glued the images and the sentiment to the base and finished everything off with some Rose Gold confetti.

If you are interested in the step-by-step process, here is the video for you guys. I hope you like it!

Thank you all for stopping by and have a great day!
