Good Luck Cards | Honey Bee Stamps - Perfect Match Release

A handmade card featuring pink ombre glitter letters spelling 'good luck' on a pink-toned embossed background with a vellum frame. A red gem-encrusted heart is at the center of the card, accented by additional small red gems for embellishment. The design is set against a backdrop of playing card elements and soft pink tones

Today, I am thrilled to share two "Good Luck" cards I created as part of the Perfect Match Release Instagram Hop for Honey Bee Stamps! These cards use the same basic techniques but differ slightly in their finishing details, making them unique and fun in their own ways. Don’t forget to head over to my πŸ‘‰Instagram to enter the giveaway for a chance to win amazing prizes! TWO $50 Gift Cards (one each) will be given to the to the lucky winners!


Shared Techniques:
  • Embossed Backgrounds: Both cards feature backgrounds created using the Aces - 3D Embossing Folder. A TIP to prevent tears in the paper is to lightly mist the cardstock with water before running it through your die-cut machine.
  • Die-Cut Letters: The "good luck" sentiment was created using the BEE Playful Lowercase Alphabet Honey Cuts. TIP - For perfect letter alignment, use a straight edge or gridlines to align them, pick up the letters with low-tack tape, and adhere them by flipping the tape like a hinge to secure the letters in place.
  • Vellum Layers: Both cards include vellum frames to soften the backgrounds and create dimension. I used two different frame die sets for added variety.

Card 1: Pink Ombre Letters
  • Background: The embossed areas were enhanced by swiping a black ink pad across the raised portions for added depth.
  • Sentiment: I die-cut the letters from white glitter cardstock and ink-blended a soft pink ombre effect onto them.
  • Frame: The vellum background was die-cut using the Lovely Layers: Party Frame.
  • Embellishments: The central heart was bedazzled with red gems from the Real Rainbow Gem Stickers pack, and a few extra gems were added around the card for sparkle.

Tips and Tricks
  • Prevent Tearing: Always mist your cardstock lightly before embossing with a 3D folder.
  • Perfect Letter Alignment: Use gridlines or a straight edge to align your letters, then use low-tack tape to lift and position them easily.
  • Blending Gitter Cardstock: Ink blend on glitter cardstock to create custom colors to match, or create an ombre look.

Waffle Flower 2023 October Release Blog Hop and Giveaway


Hello Friends!

I am super excited to be joining Waffle Flower for this month's October Release! Today I have three cards to share and I hope you and hope you will enjoy them. Make sure to check out each stop in today’s blog hop for fun, inspiration, and chances to win some of these new goodies! Find all the hop details near the end of this post.

This first card features the Pop-Up Leaves Panel Die and the Coordinating Stencil. The stencil makes for the easiest ink blending of these Fall colors, and I love the subtle dimension you get from pinching the leaves together.

Using a different color behind the die-cut panel also adds more dimension to the card. To finish this simple Fall card I used the Script Thank You Die, done in Glitter Gold cardstock with the white shadow background.

On the Kraft background, I stamped in watermark ink, the new Multiple Fall Leaves Stamp SetI also added a couple of die cuts from the new Dainty Fern Die set as an added detail.

For this last card, I used the Multiple Fall Leaves Stamp Set, which I heat embossed in gold, and then used the coordinating Multiple Fall Leaves Stencil to ink blend the warm colors. Once all the ink and added splatters were dry I die-cut the leaves with the Multiple Fall Leaves Die Set. This little trio is so versatile and a great value for the price point!

For the subtle background, I used the Woodgrain Die. This Die would also make a great window for a shaker card (next time). And to finish this beauty off I used the Print Thank You Die

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

Be My Gnomie, Shaker Card, Studio Katia,Blog Hop,Giveaway, Rainbow, gnome,Valentine Cards,Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to,

 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 😍

Be My Gnomie, Shaker Card, Studio Katia,Blog Hop,Giveaway, Rainbow, gnome,Valentine Cards,Card Making, Stamping, Die Cutting, handmade card, ilovedoingallthingscrafty, Stamps, how to,

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!

 
Giveaway:
  • Studio Katia is giving away one $50 CAD gift certificate at every stop. Winners will be chosen randomly from comments left under all the stops. Winners must have commented on all the stops to be eligible to win. 
  • All comments must be left by Monday 2nd Jan 23:59 PM EST.
