Studio Katia New Release Blog Hop | GIVEAWAYS (CLOSED and Winner Announced)


Update Carol Hintermeier you are the lucky winner from my Blog Giveaway! Please email studiokatiagiveaway@gmail.com
Hello and welcome to Studio Katia New Release Blog Hop!

This release includes 7 new clear stamp sets, 6 sets of coordinating dies, 5 new stand-alone Creative Dies, 6 new Stencils and a new embellishment! If you have already started on the Hop you would have arrived from the Studio Katia Blog so you are on the right track.

Today I have a few cards to share with you featuring a couple of the new Stamp Sets Potted Plants and Cactus Hugs. Succulents happen to be some of my favorite plants so I was super excited to play with these sets.

CARD DETAILS
For this first card, I began by blending out Broken China and Hickory Smoke onto the background of the card, but as you can see it is barely noticeable in the photo (but believe me its there, I was obviously very light handed with my blending 😏). Next, I lined up the taller plant images along the middle of the card where the Hickory line was created. I then used the other plants to fill in the gaps in front, also popping them up with foam tape.  I had previously colored these images in using Copic Markers for the Kathy Racoosin's 30-day Coloring Challenge which made this card super quick to put together.

For some sparkle to the plants, I added a layer of Liquid Pixie Dust and then added some white gel pen highlights.  To finish off the card I stamped the sentiment from the Cactus Hugs set.

For this next card, I began by blending out Hickory Smoke onto a piece of Bristol Paper using the Square Brick Stencil. I then took the stenciled paper and centered it onto the card front of the card base and ran them together through the die cutting machine with the European Window die. I also die cut the window using grey cardstock. Now that all the pieces were cut out, all I did was glue an acetate piece directly onto the card base and covered it up with the stenciled panel. Next, I glued on the outer frame of the window and just before I glued the shutter piece on I glued the plants to the acetate first and then added the shutter piece to make it look like the plants were on the inside.

Here is a view of the shutters partially opened.

In the picture below I have just bent back the shutters to open up the window. I also lightly blended out Broken China Oxide ink onto the inside of the card as you can see through the opening of the window.

The sentiment comes from the Potted Plants set and the little rectangle I stamped it onto is actually a die cut scrap piece from the European Window Die.

Again these images were colored in using Copic Markers and the sparkle was painted on using Liquid Pixie Dust. To the tulip and the centers of the flowers, I added some glossy accents.

I hope you were inspired by my cards today and hope you get inspired by all the creations you find along the hop today.

Go Hog Wild on Your Birthday Card ft. Pinky the Pig


Hello friends!

How awesome is the latest Honey Bee Stamp Release?!? 😱 If you missed all the awesomeness, check out my previous post, and if you haven't left a comment over there, make sure you do so you can win some fabulous prizes! 

So on to today's card. Of course, I just had to bring Pinky the Pig back! He is just the cutest critter out there right now. And just look, I made him even more stinkin' CUTE by giving him a little smirk.

Go Hog Wild on Your Birthday Card ft. Pinky the Pig by Ilovedoingallthingscrafty

For this design, I began by stamping Pinky in the puddle, and then masked him up and stamped the flower images all around him from the Busy Bee set.

For my coloring today, I used the new to me Chameleon Pens! I had so much fun using them and figuring them out. Still, have lots to learn and practice but I was really happy with the results.

Once the coloring was done I added some white highlights and clear Wink of Stella to flowers, unfortunately not very visible in this photograph. Next, die cut the panel with the rectangle stitched die and popped it up onto a black card base. The Oh, Happy Day sentiment comes from the Congrats Grad set.

To the inside, I added the "It's your birthday, so go Hog wild!" from the Ham It Up set, as it thought it coordinated perfectly with the front of the card!

Honey Bee Stamps Spring Release Blog Hop - Day 2


Hello, my friends and welcome to Day2 of the Honey Bee Stamps Spring Release Blog Hop!
For those of you that don't know me, my name is Ilda and I am one of the Honey Bee Design Team members. If you have already been hopping along you have arrived from the very talented Galina's Blog. 

So let's get started, I have lots of card inspirations to share. I'm apologizing in advance, this is a very long post because this is a HUGE release and there are so many goodies 😍 


This first card features the Spring Blossom Stamp set and coordination Spring Blossom Honey Cut Dies. I stamped a few of the flowers and all the leaves directly onto the card base, then I used a few Zig brushes to color in the images. Next, I added some black splatters to the background and set it aside to dry. After all the images were die cut, I arranged them on the card base and layered them with some foam tape. Finished the card by adding a sentiment from the Sweet Stamp Set and then adding all my accents (glossy accent, Wink of Stella, Twilight Rhinestones).

Since the height of wedding season is just around the corner, I thought it would be a good idea to have a wedding card on hand and ready to go! This wedding shaker features the new Mr and Mrs Honey Cuts, the bow tie from Pinky the Pig Stamp and coordinating dies and a shaker mix of consisting of Aurora Lights, Clear Iridescent mix, and Little Love sequin hearts. The square shaker frame was created with the new Double Stitched Squares Dies.

The congratulations sentiment comes from the Mr and Mrs stamp set.




If you love shaped cards, I think you'll love this next card. How fun is this Donut Card!? You can make this donut card for so many occasions and reasons!

For this card, of course, I used the  Donut Card dies and also the new Sweet Honey Cuts. The heart die cut comes from the Pinky the Pig Coordinating die set. To make it look like my donut was covered in icing, I pretty much lathered the donut in glossy accents, lol!

On the inside, I used both the Sweet and Foxy Sentiments Stamp sets.




I love how Honey Bee stamps creates so many options for their stamps and dies to coordinate. Here is another card featuring the new Donut Worry stamp set. A great stamp set for those pick me up encouragement cards that you need.

For this card, I stamped out the donut and sprinkle images from the set and then colored them in with a few chameleon pens.  I then die cut the panel using the double stitched rectangle die and then added a vellum layer to the top of the background. I adhered the layers together and used a hole punch to punch out the centers of the donuts. I then added the be happy sentiment and the Donut Worry to finish the top layer.

On the inside, I stamped this encouragement sentiment.
Love this fun stamp set!




And for my final card today, I am sharing this cute interactive card featuring Pinky the Pig. Have you heard of pigs flying? Well, today you are going to get to see Pinky fly!


For this card, I used the Pinky the Pig Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies. For the background, I used the Outdoor Scene Builder Stencil and Distress Oxide inks. I also used a few Bubblegum Confetti Sequins.
