I Simply Love You

January 23, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hey lovelies, It’s Tracy with you today sharing my latest design team card.

Valentines day is very nearly here (It’s scary how quick time flies) and although me and hubs don’t do Valentines, but I do really enjoy creating projects for it.

I know a lot of people out there aren’t colourists so I wanted to do a non colouring card using the beautiful Scallop Hearts Cover Die.

No you are not seeing things, I Inkyfingers And Ribbon did infact make a shaker card !! I love cover dies as that make Shakers SO much easier.

I started off by diecutting some Neenah and then I trimmed a second piece just a bit smaller. I used the awesome Ink Blender Brushes and Spectrum Noir Harmony Ink and inked both pieces off, giving it a bit of an ombre look. I then added some water droplets and let it dry.

Whilst that was drying I took the die and die cut some gold glitter card. I also created a top folding A2 card.

Once dry I stamped the beautiful sentiment from theLovely Blooms Stamp set. I then assembled the shaker, starting off with adding some thick Acetate and Foam tape. I was going to use sequins but decided to use Gold Crystals instead. The piece of card I inked up I adhered so it was the backer piece of the shaker card.

I decided to fill one of the hearts with the gold card and for the rest of the hearts I used just the outline pieces.

I love how this turned out, I might even break the habit and give hubs a Valentines day card !

Penguin Party with Tracey

January 17, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Other, Winter Holidays

Hi there it’s Tracey here with a fun little penguin party. Once the Christmas holidays are over I start to build up my winter birthday card stock supply. My Dad loves penguins so I am giving this one to him for his 92nd birthday.

I stamped the penguins and iceberg from the Kobi’s Ice Day stamp set and then die cut the images with the Kobi’s Ice Day co-ordinating dies. I coloured the images with Copic markers with some very simple two-shade colouring. The trees are from the Holiday Village Stamp set and they were cut with the Holiday Village co-ordinating dies, also coloured with Copic markers.

To create my icy water background I swept some Salty Ocean Distress Oxide ink on to my glass mat and spritzed it with some clean water. Then I swept a piece of Bristol Smooth cardstock over the ink on one quick motion.

Once the inked background was dry I attached it to the card base using Studio Katia white foam adhesive. The iceberg, penguins and trees were attached with a combination of adhesive tape and white foam tape.

The sentiment in the bottom right corner is from the It’s Your Birthday stamp set and was white embossed on black cardstock. To finish the card off I glued some Iridescent Crystals to the card front and it is done.

Now is time to announce a winner from the Giveaway that we had on my previous post. And the winner of a $15 Gift Certificate to Studio Katia Online Store is…

No Line Coloring with Laura

January 16, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with a card I created with the no-line coloring technique and the Kind Bouquet stamp set. Don’t forget to check out the video at the end of this post, if you are interested in seeing the step by step tutorial.

I started my card by stamping the beautiful roses in the Kind Bouquet stamp set with no-line ink and I colored them with my Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers. I then used the Kind Bouquet Dies to cut it out.

For the card background I die cut some Bristol Smooth cardstock with the Darling Ribbon& Dotted Frames dies and I blended Harmony Ink in the color Spa Blue over the entire background, using my Studio Katia Blending Brushes. Next I layed the Autumn Leaves stencil over my background. I blended Harmony Ink in the color Lagoon over the panel and then coated the area with a clear glitter gel.

I created a second panel out of some vanilla cardstock using the Dotted Patterns Set 3 dies. I used another die in the set to also cut out an oval opening in the center.
For my sentiment I used the hello die in the Fancy Scallop Circle set and I die cut some Neenah Solar White cardstock. I glued everything to a top-folding A2 card base and that finished off my card.

Don’t forget that there is a video tutorial for you, sharing how to make this floral card with the no-line coloring technique. And make sure to subscribe to the Studio Katia channel for more inspiration!

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

Best Friends

January 8, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hey lovelies Tracy here with you today sharing my latest card using the Paws For Kindness Bundle.

This set is so sweet and I wanted to create a little scene card with it. I used the little boy image which I coloured with Spectrum Noir Illustrator markers.

I decided to step out of my comfort zone for the background and did a little bit of freehand colouring to create a tree and add some floating blossom and grass.

To add some extra dimension I actually stamped the images into the main piece and then added shading around it and then stamped and coloured them on a separete piece of Neenah. Instead of using the matching dies I fussy cut them out and added some craft foam behind them. I like to use craft foam if I dont want too much height as its not as deep as foam tape. I also die cut the clouds using the Sky Set Borders.

To finish off I stamped the Best Friends from the stamp set along the bottom of the card base before adhering the panel to the card.

I hope you like the card. Thank you so much for stopping by today. I hope you have an amazing day. Happy Crafting.

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today sharing my latest card.

I used the Floral Wreath stamp set, which is a beautiful stamp which comes with lots of buildable sentiments, as well as some beautiful images.

Sometimes I fancy a change from stamping in black, today was one of those days and instead I stamped in a dark brown ink onto some Neenah Solar White card.

I then coloured the whole image using Spectrum Noir TriBlend Markers.

To add some colour and interest around the image I used a light blue and blender pen. Once I had stamped the sentiment I used a brown grey marker to add some shading the the Thank You.

I then trimmed the piece of card down and mounted it onto some Orange cardstock and picked a purple paper from my stash .

Once the card was all assembled I wanted to add some sparkle so I added a sprinkling of Iridescent Crystals using Studio Katia Glue. And the card was done. I love that this stamp is not only easy to colour but has such impact.

As this is my last card for the year I want to wish you all a very Happy New Year and hope 2020 is an amazing, crafty year for you all.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Happy Crafting.

Hi there! It’s Natalia here and today I share with you my super cute diorama/shadow box card using beautiful Studio Katia supplies from the latest release – HAPPY SNOWMEN.

First, I stamped the cute images from the HAPPY SNOWMEN, KOBI’S ICE DAY, HOLIDAY VILLAGE, KOBI BEARING GIFTS, WHIMSICAL TOWN, WINTER KOBI. Colored with copic markers and die cutting them with coordinating dies.

Frameless Vellum Shaker Card with Laura

December 10, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with a frameless vellum shaker card and a video sharing how to make it! The card was inspired by my friend Ilda, from I Love Doing All Things Crafty, who recently made some really cute frameless shakers with acetate instead of vellum.

For the card background I did some ink blending on an A2 panel of watercolor cardstock. I used Spectrum Noir Harmony Inks in the colors Fuchsia, Winter Rose and Plum Jam and my Studio Katia Blending Brushes. I also added a stenciled pattern with the Heart-fetti stencil and my Midas gold pigment ink.

I created the shaker pocket out of some vellum and filled it with Studio Katia Frost glitter and a mix of pink and clear sequins. The video shows in detail how to do it – it is really easy!

The images I used today are part of the Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses stamp set and were colored with Illustrator markers. Once I was done coloring, I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

For the sentiment I used one of the stamps from the Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses stamp set and stamped the greeting all my on a strip of gray cardstock. I used again Midas gold pigment ink and I also blended the same ink on my die cut word love. This was obtained with one of the dies in the Spring Bouquet die set.

For some finishing touches I used a white gel pen, a Spectrum Noir clear overlay pen and my Glossy Accents.

Thank You Snowflake Cards

December 9, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today and I am sharing two CAS Thank you cards that are winter themed.

I know some people send thank you cards around this time of year, especially for the gifts we may receive, or I have sent them before at New Years to friends to thank them for being so awesome that year.

These cards are CAS and easy to create.

I have used the Snowflake Stencil and started off by trimming some card to 4.1/4″ x 6″ to create slimline cards.

I place the stencil off the card to start off with, As you’re going to be blending onto the card make sure to use an ink blending mat or similar. I find Katia’s Blending brushes amazing for this sort of thing as they give such a smooth blend.

I used Spectrum Noir Water Reactive ink pads but Distress Inks work just as well. I started off with Baby Blue and I move the stencil around the card until I am happy.

I then used pink on the second panel.

I added a sentiment to them both from the Snowflakes stamp set and adhered them to a card base. To add some sparkle I used the Sparkling Crystals mix.

Tracy

I just love this stencil and its so easy to work with.

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

Happy Crafting.

No Coloring Christmas Card with Laura

November 29, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone! It’s Laura here and today I am back with an easy Christmas card with no coloring and a video tutorial showing how to make it.
I started off by stamping the images in the Snowflakes stamp set with some metallic silver ink. I then die cut them all with the coordinating dies.

For the background I used the Mini Polka Dots Cover die and I did some ink blending with Distress Inks and Harmony Inks and my Studio Katia Blending Brushes.
For the Christmas bauble I used the Simple Round Tag die. I blended silver pigment ink on the base and some pink ink on the central circle.
I heat embossed the sentiment from the Gift Tag Greetings Winter stamp set with white embossing powder.

I created a bow using one of the dies in the Shaker Balloon set and glued everything to a top-folding A2 card base.
And that’s my card for today! Very easy and quick to create, but really really pretty! I think this would be a great idea for a last minute Christmas card.
