VIDEO: Furry Dreams (come true) with Erica!

May 7, 2022 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hi everyone!

Today’s video and card is very special, as it’s a celebration of the arrival of our new furry family member Maya. She’s a sweet little rescue doggie we adopted almost two weeks ago, and we are so in love with her. If you want to see more of her, you can either follow me, or The Cheeky Chicas, on Instagram.

Little Miss Maya

For the video I had to use the Furry Dreams stamp set and coordinating diecuts, plus the Furry Paws stencil. I am a CDL after all, and for those of you who don’t know, that’s Crazy Dog Lady, lol!

Sunshine of Hope in No-Line Watercolour

May 6, 2022 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hello friends,
Monica here again! I must confess, I had been looking forward to the opportunity to create a project with this lovely stamp set. This Sunshine of Hope stamp set is not only beautiful but very meaningful and I especially love the sentiments.
I thought it was the perfect image to use with one of my favourite techniques: no-line watercoloring.

I started by stamping the image using Antique Linen Distress ink in some watercolour friendly cardstock. This time around, I went for Bristol Smooth because it works really well with the markers I chose.

I used the following Zig Real Brush markers.
For the petals: 050, 051, 052, 067.
For the stem and leaves: 043, 063, 043, 046.
For the centre of the flower: 063,066, 064.
To add detail to the petals I used the following polychromos colour pencils: 109 and 187.
Once I was done with the colouring, I splattered some white gouache to the finished image to create a more organic look and I set aside to let it dry.

Then I die cut the image using the matching Sunshine of Hope die and cut 2 more layers using basic thick cardstock, glued all the pieces together with Studio Katia liquid glue and let it dry.

I wanted to give dimension to this card. So I created a layered front panel. For the first one I inked a piece of white cardstock from the centre outwards with a few shades of yellow and orange. Creating a saturated area in the centre of the cardstock and trimmed it to 4 X 5 ¼ “. For the second layer, I used the Dotted Slimline die set 3, I placed it at the edge of the cardstock (this left one side of the cardstock free), ran it through the die cutting machine, then slid it to the other side, and ran it again. This left me with the full width of the cardstock with the dotted pattern. I then trimmed it to 3 ¾ X 5” and inked the edges with a little leftover ink from the same brush I had previously used.

I used a sentiment from the Sunshine of Hope stamp set, stamped it with black ink on a piece of thick white cardstock, added clear embossing powder and heat set it. I then cut the sentiment using an exacto knife and also distressed the edges a bit with some yellow ink.

To assemble the card, I created a cardbase of a yellow cardstock. I adhered the first part of the front panel with liquid glue and then the second one using foam tape. I glued the Sunflower right at the centre and placed the sentiment in the bottom corner.
I wanted all the attention to the actual Sunflower but still added a few Moss Green pearls, which gave a nice contrast to the yellow.

Working on this project was a joy, especially the colouring which was super relaxing.
I hope you like it and don’t hesitate to leave a comment if you would like more details.

See you next time!!

Easy stamped card with Jewel Crystals and a tiny stamp

May 5, 2022 / CATEGORIES - Cards, CAS, Other

Hello everyone!

It’s Galina. Today I want to share with you a fun technique on how to use your tiny stamps for perfectly lined stamped patterns.

For this card I used a tiny cute flower from HOPPY EASTER Stamp set. I love this set because it includes some non-easter images and the flowers and butterflies are super cute.

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

I created a perfect grid using the Bone Folder and scoring board. If you don’t have a scoring board you can score the lines with a ruler and bone folder on a soft\silicon mat.

I cut out a panel using DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3.

I stamped the flowers with blue Distress Oxide ink and colored them with a Copic marker B 24.

I fill the remaining gaps with SNOW CRYSTALS.

Thanks for stopping by!

Tone on Tone Tulip card

April 29, 2022 / CATEGORIES - Cards, Thank You Cards

Hello everyone!

Galina with you and today I want to share with you a card I made using a beautiful Happy Tulip Stamp set.  I decided to make a tone on tone look card and I colored Tulips with a purple color. I used Polychromos pencils and clear Versamark ink to stamp the flowers.

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

I cut out a circle window in the A2 card panel using Fancy Circle Die set. I foam mount it on a grey cardstock. Also, I cut out a sentiment using SCRIPT THANKS DIE and placed it in the centre. I finished the sentiment with two small flowers from the Happy Tulip Stamp set.

I embellished the card with MAGIC PEARLS and tiny crystal hearts from CLEAR HEARTS – MIX.

Thanks for stopping by.

Spring Theme Mini Slimline Shakers

April 22, 2022 / CATEGORIES - Other

Hello crafty friends, 

I’m Monica, this is my very first post for Studio Katia and I am super excited to be here. 

For this first Studio Katia project, I wanted to bring something that’s really me, a bit of color and some awesome bling. So I created 2 mini slimline shaker cards with Spring and Easter themes (getting ahead for the next year!!!)

 

I used the Easter Eggs stamps and started by stamping all the eggs on watercolour paper, using black ink and heat setting with clear embossing powder. Then came the coloring, this time I chose Tombow markers but you can use any water based markers or even regular watercolours. I decided to go for a very spring-like colour palette. I selected two shades of blue, pink and purple. The design of these eggs make it easy to add the colour by section and I wanted to take advantage of that. To explain a bit more I’m going to use the blue egg as an example: I started from the top by adding some blue colour only on the corner of that top part of the egg, then blended with the water brush. I followed with the section under it using the other shade of blue but this time adding the colour on the opposite corner of that section and blending again. I continued the same way alternating shades and corners until I got to the last section. The pink and purple eggs were also done in a similar way. Once the coloring was done, I splattered some white gouache and let them dry. 

For the background of each card I used the Peeps and Eggs stencil and added the inks using the Ink Blender Brushes. On a heavy white cardstock, I added purple ink and then went over with clear glitter gel and set aside to dry. For the second card, I blended layers of yellow, pink, baby blue, lilac, green and mustard,  then used the stencil to apply glitter gel and let it dry.

I cut the Mini Slimline (set one) dies on white textured cardstock. I created a window for the one with the scalloped edge and placed a piece of Acetate Sheet and two layers of foam tape. For the other piece I used the Easter Eggs die (dotted edge) to create two windows, then added a piece of acetate sheet and foam tape. 

Once the base layers had dried, I used the same slimline die with the scalloped edge to cut them out and started assembling the cards. I used the same confetti mix for both cards, Studio Katia  Cross Glitter and Pastel Rainbow Confetti.

For the sentiments, I went with “Spring Blessings” from the Easter Eggs set and stamped it on ivory cardstock on black ink and “Happy Easter” from the Mini Easter Sayings on black cardstock with white embossing powder. As a final touch, I added some Radiant Pineapple Fusion sequins for extra bling. 

I hope you enjoy these projects as much as I loved making them. Thanks so much for visiting.

Until next time!

Monica.

Mini Slimline Birthday Shaker Card

April 21, 2022 / CATEGORIES - Birthday Cards, Cards, New Release, Shaker Cards

Hello everyone!

Galina with you today and I have a fun birthday card to share. I created it using Mini Slimline Dies and a new Furry Friends Stamp set.

How I made this card you can watch here or on Studio Katia Youtube Channel 

To create a shaker base I used the largest die from the Mini SLimline Die set. I cut a frame from a scallop panel and attached the clear acetate sheet.

I stamped a few images from the Furry Friends Stamp set and I colored them with copic markers. How cute are those images?

Inside the shaker I added a lot of Puffy Stars pearls and some regular sequins from the Summer Fusion mix. 

Thanks for stopping by!

Please welcome Monica

April 20, 2022 / CATEGORIES - News

Today we are introducing a new member of the Studio Katia Team and would love for you to meet Monica.

My name is Monica Zerpa. I am so happy to be part of the Studio Katia family. I’m a wife and mother of two young girls. Originally from tropical Venezuela, I now live in frigid Canada with my family. I have been crafting since a young age, being introduced by my elementary school teachers where I started paper crafts with a focus on parchment work (pergamino) and a few forms of fiber art. I also tried clay work, stained glass and frosted glass among many others. As an adult, I started scrapbooking but quickly went back to my cardmaking roots and I haven’t stopped since. To me, crafting is my time to disconnect and relax and it has become a helpful tool to manage anxiety. Thanks in advance for checking out my projects and for your support.

You can find me on social media @needleandpaper (IG, Pinterest, FB).

Monica has an amazing eye for colour and texture and we are sure you’ll give her a warm welcome to the SK family.

Easye mixed media Easter card

April 14, 2022 / CATEGORIES - Cards, New Release, Other

Hello everyone!

Galina with you today and I want to share some easy mixed media tips for stencils. For my card I used a new PEEPS & EGGS STENCIL and new cute stamp –KOBI’S MINI EASTER.peep

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

To create a dimensional pattern with eggs and bunnies I used a white textured paste. It dries white even on a colored cardstock.

I stamped the bear with Memento Black ink and colored it with copic markers (alcohol based markers). I used W 0, 01, 03, RV11 for ears; E 30,31,33 for the body; RV11,14, 0000 for the egg; Y35,00, YR24 for the bow.

I cut out a scallop frame for the card using a largest die from the FANCY CIRCLE Die set.

Thanks for stopping by!
