Best Day Ever with Natalia

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hello, everyone. Natalia is here. And today I would like to show multipurpose holiday card.

First of all I toned the background with distress inks of pink shades. Then, using Dotted Paterns: Loops, I cut the circles from the background to add volume to the card. I placed negative on washy tape, the circles became below it. After it I stamped Kobi’s Hugs Stamp; Kisses and Kobi the Birthday Bear on paper for markers and colored everything with Touch Twin and Copic Sketch alcohol markers

Using coordinating dies, cut everything out. Gave the bunch to Kobi and set him in bottom of the card and placed presents in front of him. 

Using coordinating dies from Best Ever set I cut out according words (two workpieces per word) and stuck together to add volume. Then I stamped the word Day (Happy Valentines Day phrase) from And The Fox Says set on the strip of vellum using silver embossing. Stuck the sentiment on top of the card. At the end I put everything on the workpiece which I cut out using Dotted Patterns: Darling Ribbon die.

St.Valentines Day inspired me a lot, that’s why I chose pink but I believe this color could be changed to any other by desire and the card will still look spectacularly. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

For You Shaker Card with Kristina

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hello everyone!

Kristina is here. Are you ready for St. Valentine’s Day? Today I want to show you a shaker card with adorable Kobi!

I’ve started by stamping the images from Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses stamp set on Neenah Solar White paper using blue inks. Then I blended some blue inks on my background to make a gradient look. Next, I stamped a Kobi and his heart using black ink and colored the images with Copic markers. After that I stamped the sentiment For You with clear embossing ink and white heat embossed.

Then I die cut shaker window out of white cardstock using die from Dotted Patterns Set 1  and put the shaker together adding Enchanted Sea Fusion, 3mm Majestic Sequins, Magic Hearts Crystals and Ocean Wave Crystals and adhered it all together with foam tape. To finished my card I foam mounted Kobi onto my shaker base and covered the heart with Nuvo Glaze as a final touch.

Here’s another close up.

Thank you so much for stopping by!

Kobi in Love with Natalia

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Valentines Day Cards

Hello, everyone. Natalia is here. Today I would like to show you my simple Valentine’s card.

First of all I colored stamped Kobi and bouquet from Kobi’s Hugs & Kisses. Then cut them using coordinating dies. After that I cut square background and frame using Dotted Patterns: Nested Squares | Creative Dies.

Background I toned with blue distress inks and pink inks by Altenew. Next I applied Floral Trimmings stamps on vellum using white embossing and cut it to size of square background; stuck them together.

Next I stuck Kobi and bouquet on the right of square frame and put it all on foam tape. After that I cut rectangular background from white cardstock and stuck the square with vellum upon it. Covered it by frame with Kobi.

It remains only to make sentiment. On black cardstock using white embossing I stamped sentiment from And the Fox Says set, stuck it to the card and decorate with Clear Round Drops – Mix

Thank you for stopping by and have a wonderful day!

Guest Designer | Five Cards with Jacquie

/ CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, Floral Cards, Guest Designer, Thank You Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hi there crafty friends! Jacquie here from The Big Reveal. I am so pleased to be this month’s Guest Designer for Studio Katia. I pretty much fell in love with Studio Katia with their first release! I love all their unique creative dies, the flowers, and of course, adorable Kobi!

I have made 5 cards for todays post, so sit back and maybe grab a cuppa something warm and enjoy!

My first card uses the beautiful Blooming Bunch stamp set and the awesome Dotted patterns: Scallop frames creative die set! I stamped the floral bouquet on watercolor paper and white heat embossed it. I used watercolor paints to color it. I then used the creative dies on the panel. I cut it out twice and raised the frame to give it more dimension. I stamped the sentiment on a piece of vellum and then adhered the bow to it, and stuck it to my card. I finished it off with some gorgeous crystals from the Cupids Kiss Crystal Mix.

My second card is a fun Valentine’s themed card using the super adorable Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses stamp set. I stamped the images on smooth white cardstock and colored with Copic markers and cut them out. I used the Dotted patterns: Loops creative dies on a piece of warm gray cardstock. I punched out all the circles, but then put a few back in for added interest. I gently blended some soft pink ink on the white card panel. I mounted the die cut piece over the card panel and adhered my Kobi bear to the front. I stamped HUGS in the center of the heart. I finished off again using crystals from the Cupids Kiss Crystal mix.

This third project is possibly my favorite! I stamped the lovely florals along the left edge and bottom of an A2 sized card panel, and then I stamped a few extra on another piece of cardstock. I colored these using Copics, but as you can see, I did a different type of coloring…just some lines highlighting, I didn’t color and blend the whole flower. I wanted it to have a unique look to it. I blended a bit of pale pink ink along the edges here and there. I took the Stitched creative windows die and placed it over my colored piece, and cut it out. I lined up the cut out pieces below, and mounted it using foam tape, making a shaker card. I filled the shaker with the Majestic confetti. I cut out the extra flowers I stamped, as well as the greeting and mounted them on the top of the shaker.

This 4th card uses the gorgeous and unique Floral trimmings set! I love to color with Copics so I stamped this several times and colored them all a bit differently. For this card, I cut out the floral image and set it aside. I then stamped the same image along the bottom of a folded note card in a pale ink. I mounted my colored and cut piece on the note card. I stamped the greeting and added some pretty sparkly sequins from the Crystal clear sequin fusion pack. I love how they picked up the purples and blues!

My final project features a die set that I was so excited to get! I cut out some thick watercolor paper using the Dotted Patterns: Fancy Square die. Then I cut another watercolor panel down and smooshed it in some watercolor paint and set aside to dry. I used the Floral Trimmings Copic colored piece I had left from the last card to fashion a little border along the inside of the frame. I stamped a greeting from Blooming bunch on the watercolored panel and adhered the frame using foam tape. I had originally thought I would make a shaker card, but decided to keep it simple and just adhere a few Iridescent Crystals to the card to finish it off.

That is all for my projects today! Thank you so much to Studio Katia for inviting me to be their guest designer! I really love their projects and have begun collecting them all! (haha!) Have a great day!

Peace,

Jacquie

Theme Week | Hearts/Valentines – Day 6. Valentine’s day card with Galina

Hi everyone!

It’s Galina and today is the last day of our theme week. So, I want to share with you Valentine’s day card with cute lions 🙂

I start with large floral stamp from Thank You So Much set. I stamped it with clear ink and made white embossing. I cut out flower  with coordinating die. I apply red distress ink over the flower using blending tool.

Than I stamped and cut out two adorable lions from Birthday Lions stamp set. I colored those adorable critters using distress inks.  Also I cut out oval frame from white cardstock using biggest die from Dotted Ovals die set. 

I adhere all elements into blue card base with adhesive foam.

At last I add a small sentiment from And the Fox Says set. And I embelish my card with beautiful heart shape crystal.

Supplies:

Thank You So Much set and coordinating die.

Theme Week | Hearts/Valentines – Day 5. Sweet Valentine’s day card with Laura

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Other, Theme Week, Valentines Day Cards

 

Hello everyone! It’s Laura here with a sweet Valentine’s day card for the current Studio Katia Theme Week. For this card I combined the new Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses stamp set with the Sweet Heart Candy stamp set – they work perfectly together!
As a first step, I stamped images from the Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses set on some Neenah Solar White cardstock, I colored them with alcohol markers and cut them with the coordinating dies. I also added some highlights with a white gel pen.

For the background panel I cut some Strathmore Bristol Smooth cardstock using the Dotted Patterns: Loops Creative Dies. I did some ink blending with Distress Inks and added water splashes for some extra interest.
The card base is some dark gray cardstock that I cut with the rectangle die in the Darling Ribbon and Dotted Frames Creative Dies set.

 

I then adhered everything together, and, as a last step, I stamped several of the sentiments in the Sweet Heart Candy stamp set using Versamark ink.
And that’s it for today’s card! I really hope you liked it and I hope I inspired you to create with these wonderful Studio Katia products!
Thank you all so much for stopping by and have a great day,

Laura

Theme Week | Hearts/Valentines – Day 3 Floral Valentine Card with Natalia

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Other, Theme Week, Valentines Day Cards

Hello, everyone. Natalia is here. Today I will show you my version of Valentine’s card in the framework of thematic week dedicated to February, 14th.

I took Neenah Environment 100 LB SMOOTH DESERT STORM Paper and cut of the workpiece. From the beginning I decided that I will make no line coloring with pencils, so my next step was to stamp Floral Trimmings set using Altenew Rocky Shore crisp dye ink pads, placing the image at the top the workpiece.

Next stage was to color with markers all the elements, to prepare them to coloring with pencils (it’s easier to me to color with pencils above markers). I took Touch Twin and Copic alcohol markers of green, beige, pink, red and peach shades. After all flowers were colored, I began to color with pencils. As usual there are 2-3 pencils (mostly 2) for one color excluding white color, which sometimes allocates glares and plays the role of blender.

After that I took the piece of Neenah Environment 100 LB SMOOTH DESERT STORM Paper, emboss ink pad and white powder for embossing and made sentiment from Best Ever and And the Fox Says sets. Then I cut this workpiece using Dotted Patterns Set – 1 frame die and stuck fun foam to it for the volume. So I did to sentiment. All the element I glued to the base of the card and decorated with Clear Round Drops – Mix.

Theme Week | Hearts/Valentines – day 1 Floral hearts with Kaja + VIDEO

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Theme Week, Valentines Day Cards

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and since it’s theme week I have prepared a cute card with hearts along with a video tutorial for it.

Take a look at the card:

Here is a video tutorial on how I made this card:

 

First, I stamped out the flowers from Floral trimmings on a waterclored paper and die cut 3 hearts out of it using a heart from Mini tags 1.

I colored all of the hearts in with ZIG markers and waterbrush. I used only three colors of markers – purple, green and dark yellow.

Next, I die cut a white ractangle using a dotted die from Dotted patterns set 1. I decided that I will put the hearts on the left hand side, so I stamped the sentiment out on the right. I used ‘I love you’ from the new Kobi’s hugs and kisses stamp set.

Next, I added the purple paper behind the rectangle to add some more interest.

The last thing I added were the sequins. This time I used the Spring green fusion.

That’s it for today! Thank you so much for joining me! See you next time.
