Let It Snow - Snowflake Card | Studio Katia

Hello Friends, hope you are having a wonderful week so far.

 

Have you had your first snowfall yet? Here in Edmonton, we have and it looks like it may be here to stay. So as the song goes "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!" and as you can see it was my inspiration for today's card.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I began by blending out the background using the SNOWFLAKE STENCIL and a few inks from Ink On 3  with the INK BLENDER BRUSHES. 

Next, I stamped out the SNOWFLAKES in a random pattern onto the background using a Sticky Embossing Powder and sprinkled the SPARKLE GLITTER to stick to the areas. 

Now that the background was done, I then stamped out one of the cute snowmen from the HAPPY SNOWMEN colored him in using Copics, and then die cut him out using the coordinating dies. 

To finish this Happy Card I repeat stamped the sentiment and then die cut it with one of the banners from the PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES, added some glossy accents to the button and the nose.

Hope this cute winter card inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

One Background Three Slimline Holiday Cards | Studio Katia

Hello, my friends! Have you started on your Holiday Cards yet? Today I'm sharing 3 Holiday cards made from one background. My examples include a Hanukkah card, and Winter Card, and a Christmas Card, just to make sure I have all my friends covered this festive season.

CARD DETAILS

All of these cards began with creating a simple snowflake patterned background using the SNOWFLAKES stamp set with a gold emb. pwd. onto an 8.5 x11 piece of dark blue cardstock. I then sliced the paper into 3 equal parts and then die cut each panel using the large frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2. 

On this first card, I die cut all the letters using the CHUNKY ALPHABET to spell out Christmas. I then used the same gold embossing powder to add some thickness to the letters. Next, I die cut a piece of vellum using the scalloped slimline frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2 to soften the background and to add my sentiments too. I then stamped the Merry from the POINSETTIA BORDER set and heat embossed it as well.

As a finishing touch, I added a few GOLD FOIL PEARLS, and this first card is done!

For this next winter slimline, I die cut the center of the panel using a frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2 to create a window for the shaker card. To the back of the panel, I added a piece of acetate and then created a border using BLACK FOAM TAPE and then filled the area using CRYSTAL STARS and SPARKLING SEA CONFETTI MIX. 

On a piece of white cardstock, cut slightly smaller than the front panel I stamped the sentiments celebrate winter using stamps from the POINSETTIA BORDER set. I then closed the shaker window using the stamped sentiment panel and then glued that finished piece to the card base. Once again I used the GOLD FOIL PEARLS as a finishing detail.

For my final Hanukkah Card, I die cut the oval frame from the snowflake panel using the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 1 and glued the oval to the card base. I then stamped out the sentiments using stamps from the HAPPY CELEBRATIONS set and centered it over the oval that I had glued onto on the card base. I then glued the snowflake slimline panel in place to finish the card. 

As a final touch, I added a few GOLD SPARKLE CRYSTALS.

I hope you were inspired by this snowflake slimline Holiday Set of Cards. There are so many possibilities you can take this idea using different stamps and different colors. If you aren't into the Slimline Cards you could use the same idea to create 4 backgrounds for A2 sized cards.

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

Easy to Make Snowman Gift Card

Are you ALL ready for Christmas?! I am definitely NOT, eek... and it's less than a week away!!!😨

If you have been following me on YouTube, you will know that I am doing a Holiday Card Series. Today's card will be the last one for the series. I had planned on making a few more but because I won't have time for video editing I have decided to take a break from the craft room and catch up on everything else.

Well let's get to today super cute card Snowman Gift Card. 

For this card I wanted to create a card using minimal supplies or at least supplies most of you would already have. Most of this card was done with circle dies. I did use a gift card groove die to hold the gift card in place, but you can easily replicate this without having one. You can either just use a couple foam squares to pinch the gift card in place (hidden underneath the gloves) or use a small circle die on each side and do some partial cutting to the width of a gift card.

To begin, I cut out the snowman's head and body using some large circle dies.
The nose was just a hand cut triangle popped up with foam. For his mouth I used very tiny drops of Night Sky Nuvo crystal drops and added a pink hole punched circle for the cheek. His eyes were also hole punched circles with glossy accents added to the black card stock.

For the mitts, I used 2 circle dies and then cut thumbs from the ends of a channel slider and glued them behind the circles.  As you can see I added a few buttons to the snowman's belly (the top two are drawn in as I didn't want them to interfere with the gift card) and for the bottom one I just added a sequin. To finish the snowman I wrapped the ribbon around the base of his head and glued the ends in place underneath the foam popped up head.

For fun I added some Sea Breeze Jewel drops all around the background.

The stamped sentiments come from Timholtz Carzy Birds Think/Talk set.

I hope today's card had inspired you incorperate your next gift card to the front of the card. Thank you all for following along here and on YouTube!

Merry Christmas to all of you out there!
Stay safe and God bless.

Happy Crafting  :)
