Valentines Day Cards

Video. Simple diecutting – love you card

June 2, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hello, it’s Galina with you today. Everyone who love diecutting will love this cute and simple card. For this card I used my favorite dies – FANCY SCALLOP HEARTS set and MINI POLKA DOTS COVER DIE. In the video below I’ll share some tips and how I made this card.

Also, for this card I used adorable plant stamps and solid sentiment stamps. You can create such card for any occasion just pick the right sentiment from the LABEL MESSAGES stamp set.

I stamped two images on the white paper with Memento black ink. I colored my plants with a few Copic markers. I decided to keep this card in soft tones. So, for the heart background I picked light shade of orange and pink distress ink – Dried Marigold and Spun Sugar. I applied inks on the white cardstock with a Blender Brushes from studio Katia, the blender brush gives a softer ink appearance.

Using Mini polka dot die I cut out a white panel. To create a colorful dots under it, I cut out one more panel from a bright pink cardstock. If you want to create multicolored dots take different colors of cardstock, or apply inks on the card base before adhering the polka dot panel.

Thanks for stopping by and have a great day!

Valentine Card with Olga

February 10, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hello friends! If you are looking for a quick and beautiful Valentine’s Day card idea, my today’s card is just what you need. This card was fairly easy to make.

I started to work on this card by making background. I simply blended Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide ink through the MANDALA STENCIL onto the kraft cardstock. Next, through the stencil I applied Nuvo glitter paste onto my panel.

I was aiming for white, red and gold color combo and so using kraft cardstock and Brown ink with Glimmer paste here worked perfectly.
To create a sentiment for this card, I heat embossed Be mine. XOXO with white embossing powder on the red cardstock using a sentiment from GIFT TAG GREETINGS – VALENTINES stamp set and die cut a heart shape using new FANCY SCALLOP HEARTS DIES.

I foam mounted the heart on the card using the brand new DOUBLE SIDED FOAM TAPE. To embellish my project I used new SCARLET RED CRYSTALS with the help of EMBELLISHMENT WAND. The card turned out so festive and quick!

I hope you like my idea and will give it a try! Have a nice day, Olga

Happy Wednesday, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’d like to share Valentine’s Day card and tag today. I’m featuring some of new release products and let’s get started!

I began by die cutting A2 sized light brown paper using Darling Ribbon & Frames. Then, I die cut chocolate frame from dark brown card stock with Dotted Square Frame Die.

I mounted my chocolate frame onto base panel and popped up chocolates using Double Sided Foam Tape-Black.

I die cut sentiment from pink card stock three times and glued down each other for more dimension. I added glitters using glitter pen on the top.

I also die cut small heart using Scallop Frames twice and applied glossy accent as well. As a last touch, I adhered Blossom Sparkle Crystals as shown in the picture.

Next, I started create a simple tag. I die cut tag elements from red and white card stock using Simple Round Tag. I heat embossed a small heart from Gift Tag Greetings- Valentines onto tag window.

I ink blended white circle panel with dye ink and then stamped a sentiment from same stamp set.

I finished off this tag by adding ribbon and embellishing Sparkling Crystals using Glue.

That’s it for today! Thank you so much for joining me and happy crafting!

Hello Everyone! We have another exciting announcement today – very talented Kelly Martin has joined our fabulous Design Team! Help us celebrate the news and welcome Kelly to SK family in the comments below. It will also give you a chance to win a $15 Gift Certificate to Studio Katia Store.

———————————-

Welcome, friends!

I’m so happy to be here on the Studio Katia blog for my first post as part of the design team.

Today we’re going to be creating a clean card, using very minimal supplies!

Using the scallop hearts cover die, cut out two panels of the same color cardstock. Remove all the hearts in the middle of the die and set them aside to use on another project. Glue both of your panels together and then adhere them down to a cut and scored 4.25 x 5.5 inch card base.

Using the same background die, cut out a panel from a different color cardstock and then take out all the heart pieces. Set aside your panel to use on a different project later on.

Using a liquid adhesive. glue the heart pieces in to the center of each of the background heart openings on the card base. I recommend a liquid adhesive because you can have a second or two to move the heart around just a little bit in case you lay it down crooked!

To finish off the card, I stamped a sentiment from the Floral Wreath stamp set on to white cardtock. trimmed it down and then glued it on to a piece of gold glitter cardstock.

I glued that down to the top of the card at an angle and then to finish off the card, I die cut a bow from the Darling Ribbon and Frames in the same gold glitter cardstock and glued it on to the corner of my sentiment strip.

I love these background dies because you get so much value out of one die. With just one piece of cardstock and one pass through the die cut machine, the die cuts so many different pieces that you can use for multiple cards!

Thanks for joining me here today and I hope you’ll come back and see me next time!

Plaid Background Valentine’s Day Card | Layering Die Technique with Ilda

January 15, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Valentines Day Cards

Hello crafty friends!

Today I have a super cute plaid card to share with you that I created by simply rotating and flippling one die. I love stretching my supplies to create something totally new!

To create the plaid. I used the HALF STRIPED COVER die to cut out 4 different shades of pink cardstock. I then layered each piece by either rotating or flipping the die-cut piece and glued them all together. To finish the background, I then glued the plaid layers onto a piece of red cardstock.

For the greeting, I used the stamps from KOBI’S HUGS and KISSES stamp set and to frame the sentiment I used the outer heart frames from the SHAKER HEART dies that I stacked and glued 3 times.

Here is a closer look at all the layers. To embellish the stamped hearts I added some liquid pixie dust for sparkle and then topped them off with glossy accents.

Super simple, and so pretty! The perfect card to give a friend or loved one for Valentine’s Day 💓 I hope you were inspired by this layering die technique.

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

Underwater card by Galina

August 19, 2019 / 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!

Valentine’s Day Card with Dana

February 14, 2019 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Floral Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone!

It’s Dana here and I’d like to share my last Valentine’s Day theme card of this year 🙂

To start, I stamped Kobi and bouquet images from Kobi’s Hugs & Kisses Stamp Set onto cold pressed watercolor paper. I colored them with watercolor paints and water brush. Once dried, I die cut them with Coordinating Dies.

I took an A2 sized white card stock and die cut scallop frame using Fancy Circle. Before I adhered frame with its original panel, I randomly stamped flower images from You’re So Sweet Stamp Set in warm grey color.

Next, I mounted patterned paper onto white card base and covered it with floral panel with frame. I then die cut ‘best’ from black card stock using Best Ever Coordinating Die and stamped sentiment from Japanese Peony Stamp Set.

To finish off, I foam mounted Kobi and embellished with July Crystals as shown in the picture.

Hope you enjoyed this card. Thank you so much for joining me today!

Mermaid for Each Other Valentine Shaker Card by Ilda

December 31, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Happy New Years EVE Everyone, Ilda here with you today on the Studio Katia Blog to close out the year! I still can’t believe this year is over, it feels like I just blinked and the year was done. Can’t wait to see what 2019 will bring.

For my last card of the year, I have created this valentine shaker card featuring the cute Mermaid for Each Other stamps and Coordinating Dies. How cute are these little mermaid people ?

To begin this card I stamped out the mermaids onto Bristol paper and colored them in using Zig markers and then used the Coordinating dies to cut them out. Next, I die cut the top panel using first the Loops Creative Die and then the large frame die from the Darling Ribbons and Frames Die and then glued the acetate to the backside. I then played around to figure out where the little merpeople were going to peek through and glued them in place with foam to the acetate.

To create the underwater background I blended together a bunch of blue colored distress oxide inks from darkest to lightest leaving the top almost white. I then placed the Light Ray Stencil at the top of the ocean line and used a baby wipe to lift off some of the colors from the paper. To finish off the background I misted the paper with water and picked it up with a paper towel to create the look bubbles underwater.

The shaker mix consists of Silver Polka Fusion and Majestic Sequins plus some Just Chunky Confetti Glitter. Also for fun, I added Iridescent Bubbles onto the top of the card.

The sentiment was stamped onto a piece of paper that I had die cut using the small rectangle frame from the Dotted Patterns Set 2, and then die cut it again to create a smaller rectangle. The scripted Silver “love” comes from the Spring Bouquet Dies set and the heart was die cut from the Dotted Scalloped Oblong die set, to which I finished off by adding some glossy accents too.

Hope this Mermaid for Each Other Valentine Shaker Card inspired your Valentine creations. Thank you all for all the support and all the comments you have left for me here on my Blog and on my Social Media links! Wishing you all a safe and Happy New Year and I will see you all in 2019?

Hugs, Ilda.
