I simply Love You

February 4, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hey lovelies, how are you all ? I hope 2021 is being kind to you all

Today I am sharing my latest card

Me and hubs don’t tend to do valentines but I think this year we could all do some extra love. I created the background using my Mission Gold watercolours and Prima Metallic watercolours and just had lots of fun creating.

Once fully dry I used the Shaker Heart die to die cut the heart out and also cut it out some Glitter Cardstock from Tonic Studios. I then added a sheet of adhesive behind the card and used the inlay technique. To finish off I die cut the main panel using Dotted Patterns Set 1 main die. I then adhered the panel to a slightly larger than A2 card and added a strip of glitter card along one side. For the sentiment I heat embossed this beautiful sentiment from the Lovely Bloom Stamp set and adhered it through the middle using foam tape. I then decided to add some Gold Crystals to add some extra bling and texture to the card.

I hope you liked the card and I have inspired you to spread some love this Valentines. Thank you so much for stopping by, I hope you have an amazing day. Stay Safe and Happy Crafting.

Dimensional floral card

January 9, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hello everyone! I’m happy to welcome you in 2021! The last year was hard for everyone, but we keep positive thinking! And I want to share with you something fun and bright and I have prepared a colorful card for today.

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

I made this card using Square brick stencil, Dotted Patterns 3 die set and a beautiful stamp called A cup of thanks. I used only floral part from this stamp 🙂

On a watercolor paper panel I applied yellow, green, mint and light blue distress inks through the brick stencil. Next, I cut out a panel with an oval window using a two dies from Dotted Patterns 3 die set.

On another watercolor paper I stamped flowers with Versamark clear ink and covered them with a gold embossi

ng powder. I heat set the images with my heat gun. To color the flowers I used bgright pigmented watercolor markers. I cuto ut flowers with coordinating die and placed them on the back side of the frame, after that I placed the sloral panel on the ard background.

To create a sentiment, I used letterer dies from Chunky alphabet and I cut out them twice from a green and white cardstock. I stacked green and white letters together to create a nice shade behind the diecuts. Next, I heat embossed a little sentiment using a stamp from Floral Note stamp set.

As a final touch I applied shimmer on the big letters with my Nuvo shimmer per. It will create a sparkle cover on the letters.

Thanks for stopping by!

Dear friends,

Last year has been a very difficult year for everyone. Studio Katia as a one-woman led company has gone through many challenges that have been overwhelming and difficult to deal with. Close to 200 packages got lost by postal services, keeping our products available for our customers became challenging as well, and keeping up with all the emails and messages was close to impossible for one person. This year wasn’t an easy one for any family, our SK family included. We know that all the interruptions and lack of clarity on what is happening caused a lot of frustration, and we felt that we owed some explanation to our wonderful customers and followers. We truly hope this note from Team answers some questions.

Our Team has taken a short winter break, but we are going to continue bringing you more crafty inspiration to keep everyones spirits high, even though the blog will work on a little slower schedule with fever posts, as members of our Team are also dealing with pandemic challenges in their lives.

We are so grateful for your understanding, your patience and continuous support! Without you it would be even harder to deal with all the challenges the pandemic has brought. We appreciate your patience and ongoing support as Katia and the SK Design Team are working to overcome all the challenges. We truly hope that this new year will be a much better one for all of us.

Many crafty hugs from Studio Katia Family!

I added few sparkly crystals to finish the cards, I use ICY SPARKLE CRYSTAL, they are transparent crystals but have a silver glitter inside. The look simply amazing and super shiny!

2021 Lets Be Kind

December 14, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today sharing a card I created for 2021….I know this year has been a crazy one hasn’t it.

I wanted to create a card to just remind us all to be kind, more kindness is needed than ever in the world right now and I know myself and hubs will certainly being that bit more kind whenever we can.

I have used the Chunky Numbers die set to cut out the numbers from some Neenah and some Glitter card, the thing I love about these numbers is they aren’t too big, they really are perfect size.

I hadn’t planned on doing a rainbow background, but hey you can’t go wrong with a little bit of rainbow. I inked the background up and then left to dry as I knew I was going to be embossing and didn’t want any accidents due to wet ink.

Once dry I stamped the Confetti Stamp using WOW clean ink and then heat embossing using WOW Gold embossing powder.

I then used the Scallop Hearts cover die, but just the main outer piece to die cut the whole area out and then adhered the numbers and also threw on some Gold Crystals.

To make the embossing pop a little I added some white gel pen shading, this also tied it with the white shadow on the numbers.

I might make a batch of these to give out with some costa gift cards to random people and hopefully make them smile.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you have an amazing day. And remember lets make 2021 the year of kindness.

Happy Crafting.

Friendship Cards with Emily

December 2, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Other

Hello, dear friends! I thought I’d take a break from making Christmas and winter cards and use this adorable friendship set called Paws for Kindness. Both the girl and boy with their cat and dog are super cute so I had to feature both of them on their own cards with customized sentiments. All three parts of the frames were created using the Dotted Patterns Set 2 dies.

I started by stamping and heat embossing the images on watercolour cardstock. Then I watercolored them with distress inks and you can find all those colours in the supply links below.

I set the images aside to dry and trimmed my card bases and outer frames from linen cardstock.

I die cut the frames again from watercolour cardstock and stamped and heat embossed the sentiments.

Then I ink blended the backgrounds and splattered the panels with sparkle shimmer spritz.

I cut the frames a third time from graphite and silver glitter cardstock, one for each of the cards.

To finish, I adhered the two inner frames flat with liquid glue and popped up the outer frames and images with foam tape. Both cards were embellished with watercolored hearts and Bluebell and Bora Bora pearls to match their ink blended backgrounds.

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

Rainbow Snowflakes

November 26, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today sharing my latest card. I hope you’re all well ?

I’m not sure about you but if I can create a card with rainbow theme then I will and who say’s holiday cards have to be traditional colours.

I am loving the Snowflakes Stamp set as its so fun and easy to use and decided to pair it with the Dotted Slimline set 2 dies.

I started off with this card cutting some stamping card and picking my colours, I used Distress Oxide inks as I wanted to add some WOW Clear Holographic Embossing powder and because Oxides stay a little bit wet for longer they seemed like the best choice.

Using my stamping blocks I stamped from left to right in rainbow order, but I did find that when I stopped half way through to emboss the images that the pink one had mainly dried, so if you recreate this card I would do the embossing after every snowflake or I did it with every two snowflakes.

Once I was happy and they was all embossed I run the piece through my die cutting machine and added the sentiment. Just look how pretty these snowflakes are with the embossing powder.

I used Studio Katia foam tape to adhere the panel to a card base and then decided to add some Majestic Confetti…I think I got a bit carried away but hey it is Christmas 🙂 And the card was done. I think you could easily batch create this card and I think after the year a lot of people have had everyone should have some rainbow sparkly snowflakes in their homes.
