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.

No Colouring Valentine’s Day Card

December 17, 2018 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hey lovelies, Tracy here with you today. I know that Christmas has even been here yet but love will soon be in the air for Valentines and I have decided to get a head and create a quick and no colouring valentines card using the cute Sweet Heart Candy Stamp set.

I started off stamping the solid heart randomly over a piece of card using 3 different colored Dye inks, when that was dry I then stamped different saying from the stamp set using black ink.

I used the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames die set to cut the panel out which I then set to one side whilst I stamped out the two hearts and added outline & faces to these and used the matching dies to die cut them out. Whilst I had my die cutting machine all set up I used the Love word die from the Spring Bouquet die set and cut some white glitter card and I also die cut a vellum heart.

To add a little bit more sparkle I used a clear glitter pen and went over both the hearts.

I adhered everything together, I popped one of the hearts up on foam tape and then used pop dots to adhere the vellum heart and give some dimension.

I know there is a few non colorist crafters out there so thats why I went with a non colouring card, this card could also easily be done with little ones and is so cute.

Thank you so much for stopping by today, I hope you all have a great day.

Best Day Ever with Natalia

February 22, 2018 / 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!

Natalia

Guest Designer | Five Cards with Jacquie

January 21, 2018 / 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
