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.

Hello friends! Erum here today and I have two cards to share with you! Let’s start with the first one.

Studio Katia Kobi's Hugs and Kisses Stamp Set | Best Ever Stamp Set | Erum Tasneem | @pr0digy0

I stamped my Kobi from Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses with Versafine in Onyx Black and watercoloured both him and his huge heart.

This is a little fun, super CAS card. You can make this with your kids! I am sure they will have SO much fun.

All I did here was die cut my hearts using the heart from Dotted Patterns: Mini Tags 1. I popped some googly eyes and drew mouths, arms, feet on both of them plus eyelashes on the lady heart 🙂

I added the sentiment from Kobi’s Hugs and Kisses.

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.

I glued frame on a transparent accetate and foam. I put Silver foil confetti, Sparkling crystals, and Silver Dust Seed Beads inside of the shaker. For the card base I used regular white cardstock.

Also I stamped and cut out cute bear, bouquet and other Valentine’s stuff 🙂 I colored all images using Copic markers.

As a final accent I add two dimensional heart shaped crystals on the right top corner.

I Love You Shaker Card with Kristina

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hello everyone! Kristina here and it is my last post for Studio Katia this year 🙂 Do you like to make a shaker cards for St. Valentine’s Day? I think new Kobi’s Hugs & Kisses stamp and die set just for this fits perfectly! For today’s post, I decided to make a cute pink shaker card with this lovely bear!

I’ve started by stamping the images from the set using black ink, colored the images with Copic markers and die cutting the images with their coordinating dies. Then I blended the background of my shaker base with Picked Raspberry distress inks and sprinkled with water to do some splatters.

Next, I’ve die cut the panel out of white cardstock using new Dotted Patterns: Loops Creative set, for my shaker base.
I put the shaker together adding Cupid’s Kiss Crystals Mix and adhered it all together. After that, I’ve adhered Kobi with bouquet on top of my shaker with foam tape and attached my it to the kraft card base.

Then I cut out a small banner out of kraft cardstock and stamped I LOVE YOU sentiment and heat embossed using white embossing powder and foam mounted onto my card and my card is complete. Thank you so much for stopping by and have a wonderful week!

Supplies:

Dotted Patterns: Loops | Creative Dies

Rowena’s CardRowena’s card features the new Kobi’s Hugs & Kisses set and she used Sweet Heart Candy stamp set to create fun background. The thin dotted frame is from new Dotted Patterns| Loops set.

Erum’s Card

I used Dotted Patterns Set 1 to die cut my front red panel. Then used a Tim Holtz stencil to make the “rays”.
Next, I stamped Kobi onto watercolour paper with Versafine Onyx Black Ink and coloured him with Prismacolours. After that I die cut the images with a coordinating die.

The most amazing thing is that the die cuts a slit on Kobi’s paw, so if you want you can make him hold objects! I think it’s quite clever!
I chose to add the bouquet of roses stamp for Kobi.

In the end, I heat embossed a sentiment on black cardstock and popped both Kobi and the sentiment label onto the card front using foam tape.
Lastly, I added a few Magic Crystal Hearts. They look divine in person!

Thanks for stopping by!

Wish You Were Here with Svitlana

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hello friends,

Svitlana is here. Today I want to share a simple and touching card with an adorable lonely fox under a moon.

Cute night scene with Studio Katia Foxes Stamp Set. Card by @craftwalks

To start off I die cut a panel using a die from Dotted Patterns 1 Die Set and cut a window inside using a die from Stitched Nested Creative Rectangles Die Set.

Next I made an A2 card base, placed the panel onto it and marked it’s edges with a pencil. These worked as a guide when I started ink blending to create this night sky background, which I di using distress inks. And added water splatters. Because that’s what you do when work with distresses 😉

After ink blending was finished I foam mounted the panel onto the card base.

I stamp a fox and tree stub with stamps from Foxes Stamp Set using distress oxides then colored with COPICs to add shading. And I foam mounted them onto the card.

I made a moon using a circle die cut from Stitched Loops Die Set which I colored with distress inks and adhered it onto the card. As a final touch I added a sentiment from And The Fox Says Stamp Set stamped in black onto a white stripe.

Have a wonderful week!

Svitlana

#Love with Laurie

/ CATEGORIES - Cards, Valentines Day Cards

Hello, all!!  Laurie here to share a bright and happy card!  I recently received the new set of Distress Oxide Inks and just had to have a play.  This card also had a couple of “happy accidents” which I’ll point to you 🙂
I started by picking some rainbow colours of the Oxides.  I chose Picked Raspberry, Twisted Citron, Peacock Feathers, Spiced Marmalade, Wilted Violet and threw in a bit of Faded Jeans.
I used Bristol cardstock which worked beautifully.  I started stamping the outline heart shaped from the Sweetheart Candy stamp set.  I tried to create a random pattern using different colours.  Then, taking a damp paintbrush, I added water to the inside of the heart.  As soon as the water touches that ink, it starts to bleed…in a good way!  It feathers the ink towards the inside of the heart but yet maintains a crisp outline image, love it!!
SUPPLIES:
Sweet Heart Candy Clear Stamp Set
Dotted Patterns Set – 1 Creative Dies
Majestic Fusion

Happy accident #1:  At some point while stamping, I turned the panel to start filling in the gaps.  This resulted in the hearts going in two different directions.  Totally not what I had in mind, but I went with it and in the end, really liked it. The small heart comes from the Foxes stamp set.  These two hearts are exactly the same shape.
I wanted to leave the insides of the hearts white but didn’t want the end result to have so much white space.  So I smooshed some Broken China Oxide Ink onto a non porous surface, spritzed it with water and applied it CAREFULLY around all the hearts.  I’m not sure if it was the ink or the paper, but I ended up with a lot of hard edges and I LOVE hard edges to watercolour!

I used the rectangle die from the Dotted Patterns Set 1 die set.  I adhered that onto a piece of textured, white cardstock that was trimmed just slightly larger than the heart panel.  For my card base, I used a blue cardstock that went well with the Broken China Distress Oxide Ink.

The sentiment also come from the Sweetheart Candy stamp set.  I used a sentiment strip die and embossed the #love with Silver Embossing Powder.  I layered the sentiment onto the same blue cardstock to make it pop a bit more.  Before adhering the sentiment, I put a messy nest of silver thread behind.

And of course no card is complete without some Studio Katia sequins!!  I used a few of the flat sequins from the Majestic Fusion sequin mix and added a dot of Silver Stickles to the centres.
Happy Accident #2:  I meant to round the bottom two corners but grabbed the wrong punch, so ended up with these corners!!  But again, I think it looks okay!!

And that’s my finished for today!  I hope you enjoyed!!  Thank you for stopping by!  Until next time..
Laurie
