Night Scene with Laura

February 7, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a cute card and a video with the Kobi the Super Bear stamp set.
To start off the card I stamped the image in the Kobi the Bear set with black ink on Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock and did some coloring with Spectrum Noir markers.
I then die cut it with the coordinating dies.

I then moved on to the background. I die cut some blue cardstock with the Dotted Patterns Set 3 dies and created some shading by blending Distress Oxides in Faded Jeans, Chipped Sapphire and Black Soot. I created some stars by spritzing my Nuvo Mica Mists in Antique Gold over the panel, and then used Nuvo Mousse in Lemon Sorbet and the Light Ray stencil to create a focal point on my sky.

For the cityscape part of my scene, I used a trick that my friend Tracy shared some time ago here on the Studio Katia blog. I used the coordinating dies to the Whimsical Town stamp set to cut some black cardstock, and I arranged them at the bottom of my scene.

For my card base I die cut some black cardstock to an A2 size using the Darling Ribbon and Frames dies, and then I assembled the scene. You could create dimension using foam tape, but I decided to glue everything flat, so that the card is easy to mail.
The sentiment, also part of the Kobi the Super Bear stamp set, was embossed on the panel with white embossing powder.

And that’s my card for today! If you like it, and if you would like to have a closer look at how to create it, you can watch the video below. And don’t forget to subscribe to the Studio Katia YouTube channel for more inspiration!

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

New Neighbours

February 4, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today. I took the month of January off so this my first chance to wish you all a very happy new year 🙂

The new year has brought us new neighbours, we are quite lucky that we only have one set of neighbours and the property next to us has been empty for nearly two years so it is nice to actually have someone living there now.

I wanted to make them a card and decided to use the Whimsical Town Stamp set to do so.

I started off by stamp one of the houses, this one had a tree on the roof which I didn’t want so I masked that off with some washi tape and stamped the image onto some Neenah Solar white. I also stamped the largest tree from the Holiday Village stamp set.

I coloured both images with Spectrum Noir Triblend Markers and used the matching dies to die cut them out, I also used the cloud dies from the Whimsical Town matching dies to cut out a couple of clouds.

Once that was done I also used the Fancy Circle Die to create the window and I marked that area roughly out onto some Neenah and then I used Distress Inks to create the background.

Once that was dry I stamped the sentiment from the Holiday Village Stamp set and started to assemble the card.

I used foam tape for the main panel to give some dimension and I adhered all the other pieces, bar the house flat. The house I used glue dots to adhere that.

A fairly clean and simple card perfect for a new neighbour and also helps get more out of those holiday sets.

Floral birthday card by Galina

February 1, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Other

Hi everyone! It’s Galina. Today I want to share with you a birthday card with soft pastel color combo.

I start with creating card background. I cut rectangle piece of white cardstock and apply beige, pink and blue distress oxide inks. I love to use distress oxides to create delicate cards, because after drying colors became more soft, with light touch of white color.

Next I stamp few flowers on the watercolor paper. For coloring I used distress markers and lot of water to get soft colors. I cut all elements with coordinating dies. For sentiment I decided to make a white panel, so I use rectangle die to cut it out and I stamped sentiment on it with versa mark black ink.

I adhere panel with sentiment and flowers onto card base using adhesive foam. At last I add embellishments, such as sequins and crystals. It was hard to stop adding them 🙂 Love sparkle cards!

P.S. I add white splashes on the card using white acrylic paint mixed with water. 🙂

Hope you like this card and will try to make card with those wonderful stamps!

See you soon!

Wonky House with Erum

January 29, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi there everyone!
Erum here today with an adorable card featuring the **Whimsical Town Stamp Set**.

I stamped all the images on Crest Solar White Cardstock and coloured the images with alcohol markers. Next I used the coordinating dies to die cut them and then I set them aside.

Next, I worked on the card front. For this, I applied a light colour wash of blue and green to depict my sky and ground. After it was dry, I added fine black paint splatters. Then I arranged all the images on the card front with foam tape.

To finish off, I stamped the sentiment.

I hope you liked my card! Thank you for stopping by!

For You Shaker Card with Laura

January 14, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a Valentine’s day shaker card I created with the Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses stamp set.
I started off the card by creating my background. I used alcohol inks in Poppyfield and Flamingo and the Alcohol Ink Blending Solution to add color to a panel of Yupo Paper. When the inks were completely dry I stamped the florals from the Lovely Blooms Stamp set with Alcohol Lift Ink. This created a subtle pattern on the background.

I stamped Kobi and the flower bouquet on Neenah Solar White 110lb cardstock with Black Hybrid Ink and colored them with Copics and Spectrum Noir Markers. I then die cut them with the coodinating dies and moved on to creating my shaker.

For the shaker front I die cut some white and gray cardstock with the Dotted Patterns Set 1 and the Dotted Patterns Set 3 dies. I also die cut the alcohol ink background with the Darling Ribbon & Frames dies. I backed the shaker front with clear acetate and added lots of sequins in colors matching the color scheme of the card.

I then used one of the dies in the Dotted Patterns Set 2 to cut a banner for my sentiment. I cut a white and a gray banner, and glued them to each other, offsetting them slighty in order to create a drop shadow effect. The sentiment for you is from the Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses stamp set, and was stamped with Memento Ink in Love Letters.

And that’s my card for today! I really hope you liked it, and I hope I inspired you to create with the adorable Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses stamp set! Thank you all so much for stopping by, and have a great day!

Sea you soon card by Galina

January 3, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Other

Hi everyone! It’s Galina and I’m ready to share with you my new card and wait when summer will start 🙂 I need more winter holidays or bring me summer sooner )))

For this card I used my favorite underwater stamp set, I colored images with copic markers and cut out them with coordinating dies. To create water background I applied few distress inks on a white card panel and after ink dried I applied white pigment ink through the wave stencil from Studio Katia. Also I add waves with white paint.

And I embellish main round die cut with big glitter. At first I cover all die cut with SK glue and then simply applied glitter. SK glue is very strong and it keeps all glitter very well and dries transparent.

Video: Raggedy Teddy Card with Erum

January 1, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Other

Hi everyone! HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Erum here today with a clean and simple card featuring the Kobi Hugs and Kisses Stamp Set.

I will start by stamping the kobi bear with the lightest grey ink that I have since I am aiming for a no line colouring look. I will use alcohol markers to colour my image today. I will start by laying down the darkest colour first and then add light shades to smooth out the darker tones.

Once I have coloured the entire bear, I will start adding the raggedy look by adding fur. This I will do by adding brush strokes to the body and because this is a raggedy bear, I will show the hair going in different directions.

I will stamp the heart on a separate piece of cardstock, and fussy cut it after colouring. I will adhere this directly with glue so everything remains on the same level. I will also give the bear some ground to sit on. In the end, I will stamp the sentiment.

I hope you liked my card. You can watch the video below or on YouTube.

Thank you for stopping by.

Thank You Tag Trio with Laura

December 21, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here, and today I am back with a trio of thank you tags I created with the Merry Poinsettia and the Poinsettia Trimmings stamp set. I debated whether to create more last minute Christmas inspiration, but then I thought I would instead create these tags, as I think they can be a nice way to say thank you to our loved ones after the Holidya season.

For all three of them I followed the same steps.

I first die cut some colored cardstock using the Bookmark Die. I then created a tone on tone background by stamping the Poinsettia Trimmings with Versamark Ink over my tags. I heat embossed one of the images in the Merry Poinsettia stamp set over some vellum and die cut it with the coordinating dies.

I used the thanks sentiment from the A Cup Of Thanks Coordinating dies, and did some heat embossing on that too, to create a metallic die cut. I added some sequins to the tags and white Nuvo Drops to the center of the flowers.

For the blue tag I used silver embossing powder and the Silver Foil Fusion Sequin Mix, for the purple tag I used gold embossing powder and the Gold Foil Fusion Sequin Mix, and for the red tag I used copper embossing powder and the Golden Copper Foil Fusion Sequin Mix.

And that’s it for today! These tags are really quick and easy to make, and I think they are a really nice idea to say thanks to those who made our holiday season special! Which one is your favorite?

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