Be My Gnomie Shaker Card | Studio Katia | Blog Hop & Giveaway

 Hello Friends and welcome to the Studio Katia December Release Blog Hop and Giveaway. If you have started hopping you should have arrived from the Studio Katia blog and Galina will be your next Hop. The complete Blog Hop list can be found at the end of this post.

If you love LOVE and love gnomes and love pizza... well then this release is perfect for YOU! For my card today I combined a gnome with lots of rainbow hearts that I eventually turned into a shaker card.

This Release Includes: 

4 stamp sets (3 with coordinating dies) 

3 standalone dies 

1 stencil

And as you can see it's all about Valentine's Day 😍

CARD RECIPE

• Stamp out the gnome images from the Gnomies Stamp set using a Copic-friendly ink. Color the images in and die-cut them with coordinating dies.
• For the background, I started by ink-blending the hearts from the Hearts Duo Stencil using yellow ink, followed by pink ink, and then blue ink, each time overlapping the colors to create a rainbow blend.  Repeat the same process with the other stencil. 
• Next, die-cut the window for the shaker using the largest heart die from the new Simple Dotted Hearts. 
• Add the negative piece of the die-cut heart to the front of a card base. 
• With the background panel, create the window for the shaker by adding a piece of acetate to the back. Build a well around the perimeter of the heart using foam tape.
• Add the shaker bits (all linked below) to the center of the heart that you previously glued onto the card base.
• Remove the protective layer from the foam and press the layers together to create the shaker.
•  Add the colored gnome to the front panel using foam tape.
• Stamp out the sentiment onto black cardstock using white ink and heat set it with white embossing powder.
• Trim the sentiment banner and glue it to the card front.
• Finish by adding a few satin pearls.

I love how this Rainbow Shaker turned out and hope you do too. Now let's talk about the Giveaway!

Happy 2023 New Years Interactive Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello friends. To those of you that celebrated, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas!

Before you know it it will be 2023😮 So for today's card, I thought it would be fun to make a simple yet interactive card. Difficult to tell from these photos but the Balloons are suspended by a thread that allows them to wiggle around.

CARD RECIPE

• To begin I chose the background. This pattern paper panel came from the latest Free Bee from Honey Bee stamps if you made a purchase over $75.
• I then die cut, stacked, and glued the Happy die cuts from the Happy Happy Happy A2 Cover Plate.
• Next, I die-cut the balloons from copper-colored glitter paper using the Balloon Number Dies.
• With a piercing tool, I poked a hole at the top of where the balloons would be on the pattern piece of paper.
• To the back of the balloons, I added a foiled thread. To hide the hole that the thread would be going through, I die-cut another layer of the balloons and snipped the top off so that the thread end would not be seen from the top.
• Thread the top of the string through the holes and secure them behind the panel using tape.
• Next, line up the happy and glue it in place. I used the cover plate die cut to help with the alignment. Behind the letters secure the other end of the thread, leaving enough slack for some movement.
• I thought the white letters looked a bit stark at this time so I added some glue dots to the bottoms of the letters using a glue pen, then sprinkled on some coordinating embossing powder and heat set it. I should have done this before I glued them down as I almost melted the strings!
• I then finished the front by adding some gems in a coordinating color from the Grain Grunge Gems sticker set.
• To finish I trimmed the panel and added it to another panel using the same glitter paper to create a border for the card.

Stop by my IG account to see this card in action. I hope this sparkly and fun Happy 2023 New Years' Interactive Card inspired you. 

Thank you for all your support this year and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Christmas Skates Slimline Shaker | Studio Katia

Hello friends, and happy Wednesday!

Today's Slimline Shaker features the new Christmas Floral Skates from Studio Katia. This super cute set is part of the Slimline Release Collection and a great addition for making your Winter and Holiday Cards.

CARD RECIPE

• To begin I stamped out the skates and then colored the image using Copic Markers. I also stamped another set of flowers to cut out and layer for extra dimension. 
• Die cut the Christmas Skates using the coordinating die, and then glue the fussy-cut poinsettias onto the skates using foam tape.

• For the background, I ink-blended the slimline panel with pink ink and then added a layer of ink using the Snowy Magic Stencil.
• To the bottom of the panel, I added the stamped sentiment.
• I then put the Slimline Shaker Pocket together and filled the pocket with all the shaker bits. 
• The Mini Slimline Shaker Pocket was then glued onto a larger Mini Slimline Card base 3.5"x6.5" inches.
• I then glued the Skates to the front of the pocket.

• For finishing touches, I added Sparkle Glitter to the centers, white and gold gel pen details, and added Satin Ruby Pearls to the front of the shaker.

I hope you enjoyed this fun winter Slimline Shaker featuring these beautiful Christmas Skates.

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