Cheerful Holiday Card with Dana

November 30, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Happy Monday, everyone!

It’s Dana and I hope you had a wonderful weekend. Today, I’m back with a fun holiday card and here is what I came up with.

To start, I stamped Happy Pawlidays onto cold pressed watercolor paper in black. I watercolored them using watercolor paints and paint brush. After coloring, I let it dried and adhere watercolor panel onto white card base.

Next, I took A2 sized red cardstock and die cut it with European Window. I also used this die for window and frame with white & brown wood grain papers. Before I arranged them using masking tape, I flicked white inks here and there on red card stock. Once dried, I applied snow marker where I wanted and heat embossed it using heat tool.

Then, I popped up red panel onto A2 sized white card base using foam tape. For sentiment, I die cut ‘falala’ from golden metallic paper using Happy Pawlidays Dies. As a final touch, I slightly glued them as shown in the picture.

Hope you enjoyed this card. Thank you so much for stopping by!

xoxo,
Dana

Singing Snowman by Tracey

November 27, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Coffee Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there, it’s Tracey back again today. Are you making you own Christmas cards this year? I am still working on my cards for this year and the Studio Katia Happy Snowman stamps and Studio Katia Happy Snowman dies are so fun to use for some easy card making.

I die cut the largest stitched rectangle from the Dotted Slimline Set 1 die set and blended ink around the edges of the die cut. I added that to the card base. Then I cut the scalloped rectangle from the Dotted Slimline Set 2 die set and adhered that to the card base with foam tape. I used the Snow Fetti Stencil to blend some blue snowflakes on to the background.

I stamped the tree directly to the paper and then I stamped and Copic coloured the snowman and then I cut the images out with the co-odinating Happy Snowman dies! I trimmed the border die cut border off the hat to tuck it on the snowman’s head a bit better. The snowman was added to the card with foam tape.

The sentiment is from the Happy Pawlidays die set and I cut it with silver sparkle paper. I finished it off with some Iridescent Crystals.

Poinsettia on vellum with Kaja

November 25, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Floral Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there,

It’s Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I created a card with a technique I haven’t used in a while. Can you guess which one?

Take a look:

I started making this card by stamping out the Poinsettia trimmings stamp on a piece of vellum. Since vellum doesn’t really absorb the ink and it takes for ever to dry, I put some clear embossing powder over the stamped image and heat set it. I made sure that I was using a very thick vellum that doesn’t worp a lot when being heat set.

After preparing the stamped image, I started coloring it on the back side of the vellum. You could do it on the either side, but I wanted to have a really soft colors so I decided to color on the back. I used two shades of red and a green alcohol markers to do so. Once the image was colored in, I decided to trim around it using my scissors. I felt like something was missing, so I added some white gel pen details which make the finished image more interesting.

Next, I put a piece of dark red cardstock on the background on which I draw a white edge using a white gel pen. I then glued the vellom piece on to the background using liquid glue. Since there is many things going on, you can bearly see the glue that I used. My only recomendation here would be to make sure that you are putting the glue directly over the colored part, since the liquid glue applied directly on the clear vellum can show quite a lot.

The last thing I added was the sentiment and this time I went with a simple ‘Merry Christmas’. I used the Chunky alphabet dies for the word ‘Merry’ and then I embossed the word ‘Christmas’ from the Poinsettia trimmings stamp set directly into the background using white embossing powder. I used white color for both words to ensure enough contrast on my card.

I then glued everything together using liquid glue and the card was finished in no time!

Thank you so much for joining me!

Shaker card with poinsettias

November 24, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone! It’s Galina. Today I want to share with you another shaker card. This time I decided to create a super fancy and shiny card using patterned paper.

How to create this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia’s Youtube chanel.

I start by cutting out a red scallop panel with SCALLOP HONEYCOMB COVER die. Also I cut out a smaller rectangle panel with Dotted Patterns Set 1 – Creative Dies.I cut it out from a patterned paper with black wide stripes. To create a shaker I cut out a round window in the patterned paper. I add an acetate sheet and a lot of foam tape.

I stamped a sentiment inside of the shaker and put some LIPSTICK RED and GOLD CRYSTALS. I stamped two beautiful poinsettias from Merry Poinseta stamp set, you can also use POINSETTIA BORDER stamp set for such card as well. I colored poinsettias with copic markers and cut them out with a coordinating die.

Thanks so much for stopping by! Have a great day!

A Sparkly and Bright Merry Christmas Slimline Card

Happy Monday Friends.
How fun would it be if the snow was all the colors of the rainbow? What a magical place it would be. A rainbow lover’s dream for sure!

Anywho, let’s get on with how this pretty Sparkly card came together.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I die cut the background panel using the larger frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE – SET 1. I then used the INK BLENDER BRUSHES to blend out the rainbow colors using the CONFETTI STENCIL and Distress Oxide Inks. It’s difficult to see from the pictures but I also stamped out a large SNOWFLAKE on the panel that I heat embossed in white.

The cute snowman comes from the HAPPY SNOWMEN that was colored using Copics and then die cut with the coordinating HAPPY SNOWMEN DIES. The Trees in the scene come from the WINTER KOBI set that I also colored with Copics and die cut with the coordinating WINTER KOBI DIES.

To create the sparkly hills, I used the TRIMMINGS BORDERS CREATIVE DIES and just extended the wave by lining up the end of the cut with the die again to fit the slimline format. I then die cut the hill piece with the DOTTED SLIMLINE – SET 1 to create the same finished edge along the bottom of the panel. To add the sparkly detail, I used an old paintbrush and loaded it with STUDIO KATIA GLUE, and then painted the hills with it. I then poured the CHUNKY SPARKLE GLITTER over the wet glue and pressed it in place with a piece of scrap paper. Once it was dry I glued it onto the background panel.

For the sentiment, I stamped the Merry from the POINSETTIA BORDER on the top right-hand side of the panel and then stamped the Christmas in white onto black cardstock. I then used a small banner die from the PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES to layer on to the Merry.

For a finishing touch of more sparkle, I added some IRIDESCENT STARS to the rainbow sky.
I hope this Sparkly and Bright Christmas Card inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time… Happy Crafting!

Hugs to you all,

Ilda

Happy Holidays card with Olga

November 20, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there, it’s Olga with a cute winter card I made for today!

I wanted to make a shaker card, so I took the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 and die cut the smaller rectangular frames. I die cut it five times, once in craft and four times in white to make a shaker window. I filled the shaker with PINEAPPLE DELIGHT CRYSTALS, WINTER WONDERLAND FUSION, GOLD DUST SEED BEADS and RAINBOW DUST SEED BEADS.

Next, I took the white background and ink blended it with yellow and blue inks. The next thing I added was the sentiment ‘Happy Holidays’ from GIFT TAG GREETINGS: WINTER stamp set. Then, I glued all the elements together.

Once the background was done I stamped the images from the WINTER KOBI stamp sets. I colored the images using alcohol markers and added some details using white gel pen. Next, I die cut them out using WINTER KOBI DIES.

I glued everything together using Studio Katia GLUE and DOUBLE SIDED FOAM TAPE – WHITE.

The card was all finished! Thank you so much for joining me!

Holiday Cheer with Emily

November 18, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

The weather has gotten a lot colder all of a sudden and that’s a sign to hunker down and make Christmas cards! I’ve been wanting to use Happy Snowmen for a while now and today’s the day. I’m pairing it up with the Zig Zag Stripes rubber cling background stamp and the Snow-fetti Stencil.

I started by stamping and heat embossing all of the images with Versafine Onyx Black pigment ink and super fine clear embossing powder. Then I used distress inks to watercolour the images and you can find all those colours in the supply links on my blog.

I set aside the images to dry and stamp the Zig Zag Stripes rubber cling background stamp with pumice stone pigment ink on an A2 panel. I trim a second panel from watercolour cardstock and ink blend it with weathered wood distress ink, then use stormy sky distress ink to ink blend the Snow-fetti Stencil over top. To add some sparkle, I splatter shimmer spritz on the panel and blot it with a paper towel.

I add 3/4″ Scor-Tape to the bottom of the top panel and press Frost Glitter into it to create a snowy base for my scene. Then I heat emboss the two-part sentiment, again using Versafine Onyx Black pigment ink and super fine clear embossing powder. I assemble the card with foam tape and mini glue dots, then finish with Bora Bora Pearls on the tree.

Partial shaker Christmas card

November 17, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello friends! It’s Galina with another video tutorial for you! Today I’ll share some watercolor and die cutting tips featuring winter Kobi stamp set and Dotted PAttern set 4.

How to make this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia’s Youtube channel HERE.

I cut out a white panel from a watercolor paper using a boggest die from Dotted Pattern set 4. And with a medium die from this set I cut out a big red frame a nd a small gold frames.

I stamped few images from Winter Kobi stamp set on the watercolor panel. I stamped them with black archival ink to be able to color the images with watercolor markers.

So, I picked two shades of a green color for my tree and I’m going to color it from the lightest shades to darkest. And I applied ink only on edges to create a light spot in the center of the tree.

I want to create a glowing effect around all tiny lights. I simply color them with one marker and then I wash out the color with my water brush, I made a circular motions with the brush to create a light color dots around the lights. After my coloring was done I put on a paper a clear beads, sequins, white jewel crystal and super awesome acrylic snowflakes.

I cut out a sentiment using Merry Poinsettia dies and I foam mount it inside of the left window.

Thanks for stopping by!

Oh so Jolly! with Natalia

November 16, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hi there! It’s Natalia here. Today I want to share with you a card featuring beautiful Studio Katia products – CHUNKY ALPHABET Creative Dies, Holiday Village and Kobi’s Ice day stamp sets. First, I stamped cute images from the Holiday Village and Kobi’s Ice day stamp sets, colored them with copic markers and die cut out with coordinating dies. I added highlights using white and silver gel pen. Next, I blended some distress inks onto a white background panel. I adhered the images onto my background panel using double-sided foam tape. I die cut out the words “oh so jolly” out of a silver glittered cardstock using a die from CHUNKY ALPHABET Creative Dies and adhered them at the top of my card using double-sided foam tape.
