Festive card using non-festive supplies

December 17, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina with you and today I want to share a festive card I made using a cute Cupcake Shaker die.

How to make this card you can watch here or on Studio Kataia Youtube Channel.

 

I cut out a few cupcake die cuts from gold mirror and red glitter cardstocks and attached them on a piece of a vellum. On the front I heat embossed a small sentiment from Happy Pawlidays Stamp Set and on the back side I applied a bit of brown distress ink and thin foam stripes.

For the shaker elements I used 3mm Sequins and Gold Seed beads.

I cut out a few panels using the Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames Die set and embellished the card with WINE BERRY PEARLS.

Thanks fro rstopping by!

Merry And Bright Sparkly Rainbow Snowflake Card by Ilda

Merry And Bright Sparkly Rainbow Snowflake Card by Ilda

Hello again, Studio Katia Friends, Ilda Here!

Back again with another rainbow snowflake card. Can you tell I love rainbows and snowflakes?😆

This card features some of my favorites from Studio Katia. These Chunky Alphas are so fun especially when you want to create your own sentiments and these snowflakes stamps are soooo pretty! 


To make this card, I first blended out the background using the distress oxide linked below. I then spritzed the background with water and picked them up with a paper towel. Next, I die-cut the panel using the frame from the Darling Ribbons and Frames Die set. 


Once the ink was dry I used an anti-static tool to prep the surface for heat embossing. I then stamped the snowflakes onto the background and heat set the ink with white emb. pwd.

Next, I die cut all the letters to spell out the Merry & Bright using the Chunky Alphabet dies. To each letter, I added White Puff Emb. Powder, puffed with heat, and then added glue onto the buff and dipped the puffy part back into Sparkle Glitter for extra sparkly snow. It’s so hard to share the sparkle in these photos but in real life, they are so pretty!


I then added foam tape to the back of the letters and popped them onto the card front.

To finish the card, I glued some Icy Sparkle Crystals and added the random Snowflake Glitter to the background.

I hope you love this Merry And Bright Sparkly Rainbow Snowflake Card as much as I do and got inspired by it! Christmas cards don’t all have to be traditional IMO😏


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

Ilda 🌈😊

Turning tag into a pattern for a Christmas Card

November 25, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone!

Galina with you, and today we are going to turn the regular tag die cut into a metal lantern! How fun is that? For my card I used a POINSETTIA BORDER stamp set and Dotted Shaker Tag 2.

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

 

I cut out a tag from a gold matt cardstock using both dies from the Dotted Shaker Tag 2. I colored the tag with alcohol markers and distress inks to create a rust effect on it. Also I added a moss on it using a small amount of Flower Soft (kind of tiny plastic leaves) . On a piece of vellum I applied distress ink to create a glowing and I attached this piece behind the shaker die cut.

I stamped poinsettias using Poinsettia Border stamp and colored the images with an alcohol based markers. I cut out the poinsettias with a coordinating die.

I embelished the card with a few GOLD SPARKLE CRYSTALS.

Stamped snowflakes frames. Video

November 18, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone!

Galina with you today and let’s create pretty frames using stamps. I used the Snowflakes Stamp set to create frames for my two winter themed cards.

How to make those cards you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel.

I stamped the snowflakes on a white paper using different dye inks, how to use Distress Oxide for multicoloring stamping you can find HERE.

I cut out stamped images with the coordinating dies. Also, I cut out a round piece using a die fromSIMPLE ROUND TAG. I used this round die cut as a guid to create a “wreath” around it.

I used the same die from SIMPLE ROUND TAG to cut out a round opening in the stamped snowflakes to create a nice frame. I stamped a small sentiment inside using a stamp from Snowflakes stamp set and Versafine Black ink.

To create a card background for both of my cards I applied grey and light brown distress inks through the large Snowflake Stencil on a white card base.

I embellished the card with a few IRIDESCENT CRYSTALS.

Thanks for stopping by!

Video. Creative die cutting, Happy pawlidays Christmas card

November 12, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone!

I adore making cards with cute images of cats and dogs, I have so many friends owning a little fluffy friend and the Happy Howlidays stamp set is perfect for making cards for them.

How to make this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube channel

Card Details

To create a card background I cut out a panel using a large die from DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3 STUDIO KATIA . I Applied Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide in the ink and Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink on the edges.

I cut out a scallop border from a white glitter cardstock using a die from SCALLOP HEARTS COVER – Studio Katia. To create a red border on the bottom I used two border dies one with a straight cut line and pierced dots from SIMPLE DOTTED BORDERS 1 and second one with larger dots from STITCH BORDERS Die set.

I stamped and copic colored the big image from the HAPPY PAWLIDAYS Stamp set. I cut it out using a coordinating die set. In this die set you can find few script sentiments. I used one of them to create a sentiment for my card. I cut out Falala sentiment a couple of times from glitter, white and black cardstock pieces and stuck them together with liquid glue.

I finished the card by adding white matt crystals – Snow Crystals Mix and white spots using a gel pen. Also, I stamped few sentiments inside of the card.

Do you decorate your cards inside? Let me know!

Video. Two colored heat embossing Christmas cards

October 28, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Shaker Cards, Winter Holidays

Hello everyone!

Galina with you today. I have two Christmas cards to share with you. For both of them I used the same materials and made them at once – Snowflakes Stamp set and Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames – Creative Dies.

How to make those cards you can watch here or on Studio KAtia Youtube channel

I used two colors of the cardstock to cut out panels and frames using Darling Ribbon & Dotted Frames – Creative Dies. I mixed those die cuts to create two colored backgrounds.

I stamped snowflakes with clear versamark ink on both of the die cuts. I separated die cuts and on the pink one I added gold embossing powder and on the grey – white embossing powder. I stamped the sentiment with black ink in the center and embellished the card with pink and clear crystals.

For my second card I used only white embossing powder and I stamped snowflakes on the top of the die cuts.

I created a little shake using a Shaker envelope die with seed beads and star sequins. I embellished the card with matt white crystals.  

Thanks for stopping by!

Beautiful Stenciled Christmas Cards by Tracey

January 11, 2021 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Winter Holidays

 Happy New Year! Hi there, it’s Tracey and before putting your holiday crafty supplies away, take a bit of time and make some cards to get ready for next holiday season.

I made two sets of cards using the Studio Katia Snowflake stencil and the Floral Snowflake stencil. I used them along with Distress Oxide inks and Distress Oxide Sprays to create what are my favourite card designs this year!

I used the Studio Katia Snowflakes stencil for this first set of cards. I began with a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I sprayed the back of the Snowflake stencil with Pixie Spray, it makes keeping your stencils flat and in place so easy. I adhered the stencil, sticky side down, to panel so the snowflake is off the edge. I began by blending Scattered Straw Distress Oxide ink in the centre of the snowflake. Then working out from the centre I blended Seedless Preserves, Picked Raspberry and Spun Sugar Distress Oxide inks with the Studio Katia Ink Blender Brushes until I was happy with the blend. I intentionally did not cover the entire panel with ink, I let the Spun Sugar just fade off.

Each panel ended up a bit different depending on my ink blending, I wasn’t too worried about getting the stencil spotless between each card.

While cleaning off the stencil on my media mat I noticed the ink colours were seeping under the stencil. It looked like watercolour on the back, so I quickly grabbed another panel of Bristol Smooth and dropped the stencil on it. I wish I could have been able to get a better photo for you but this one turned out so fun. My favourite Christmas card I made!

Once all of the panels were dry I die cut them using the stitched rectangle from the Darling Ribbons & Trims die set. This gives a nice finish to the edge of the panel. The sentiment, Peace on earth, from the Poinsettia Border stamp set, was stamped and heat embossed with Wow Gold Pearl embossing powder on all the cards.

Six cards and a bonus 7th!

For the second set of cards, I used Distress Oxide ink and Distress Oxide Sprays and with the Snowflake stencil and the Floral Snowflake stencil.

The first group were all made with the Snowflake stencil. Just like I did with the last set of cards, I cut nine panels of Bristol Smooth cardstock. I sprayed the back of the Snowflake stencil with Pixie Spray, adhered the stencil to the panel and put it into my Spray box. I sprayed Distress Oxide Sprays on to the panels one at a time using a variety of blues Distress Oxide Sprays–Peacock Feathers, Salty Ocean, Mermaid Lagoon, Faded Jeans and Cracked Pistachio. So fast, so fun and so pretty.

The next two cards are a bit different the first card uses Twisted Citron and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Spray along with the Snowflake stencil.

The teal card was made by spraying Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Spray using the Floral Snowflake stencil. I damaged the panel but rather than tossing it into the recycle bin, I used a large circle die to cut the snowflake out and stock the circle onto a teal card base. The sentiment was embossed with Wow Gold Pearl embossing powder.

For these next two cards I started by blending some Tumble Glass Distress Oxide ink onto the two panels just around the edge and keeping the centres mostly white. I used the Floral Snowflake stencil using Abandoned Coral and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Sprays.

Once all of the panels were dry I die cut them using the stitched rectangle from the Darling Ribbons & Trims die set just like I did with the first set. All the sentiments were from the Gift Tags Greetings: Winter stamp set. Once everything was assembled I sprayed the panels with clear Glimmer Spray for extra shine and set them aside to dry.

A couple hours in my studio and I ended up with 16 Christmas cards!

Hello 2021 with Emily

December 24, 2020 / CATEGORIES - Winter Holidays

 

Happy Holidays, my crafty friends! It’s hard to believe that it’ll be New Year’s Eve in one week. I still remember going into lockdown for the first time back in March and wondering how we will survive this. Then my mom passed away in April and the year changed forever. Currently, my dad is not doing well so I hope my family can still enjoy the holidays before we’re burdened with more sadness. I feel like 2020 was such a waste of a year but, at this point in my life, I’m sad to have lost that valuable year. It’s hard to feel encouraged about a fresh start but making this card certainly helped lift my spirits.

 

That being said, I love making New Year’s cards so I pulled out the You’re So Ranunculous stamp set which has a gorgeous large image, perfect for covering an entire card and is so relaxing to watercolour.

 

I stamped the image with watermark ink on watercolour cardstock and heat embossed it with sparkle embossing powder.  Since I wanted to create a soft look, the sparkle in the powder helps makes the image pop. After the panel was dry, I used the largest frame from Dotted Patterns Set 1 to dry emboss the panel and trimmed it down to 4″ x 5.25″ so the toffee card base would create a frame.

 

 

Next, I die cut the scripted hello from You’re So Ranunculus Dies and 2021 from Chunky Numbers  both in heavy white cardstock and glitter gold cardstock. Using Stick It Adhesive, I layered the white and gold layers together and adhered them to the watercolored panel for a bit of dimension.

 

To finish, I adhered the panel to the card base using a tape runner and added a few vanilla lustre fusion sequins using liquid glue and an embellishment wand. I really enjoyed making this card and hope you feel encouraged heading into the New Year!
