A Rainbow Ho Ho Ho Holiday Card | Studio Katia Winter Release Blog Hop and Giveaway

Hello and welcome to our hop for the Studio Katia Winter Release! If you have started hopping already you may have arrived from the Studio Katia Blog. Stay tuned for where to hop next and more details on how to enter the giveaway🎉

This Winter Release includes 6 stamp sets, 4 with coordinating dies, 3 standalone dies, 3 stencils, and 1 paper pad. 

My super simple non-traditional Christmas card features the new Playful Dots Stencil and the Ho Ho Ho Die.

CARD RECIPE

• Ink-blend the background using the Playful Dots Stencil. I used yellow, pink, and blue inks to create the rainbow blend.
• Leaving the stencil in place, add a layer of glimmer paste. Remove the stencil and wash it immediately as the glimmer paste can be hard to remove once dry. Set the background aside to dry.
• Die cut the Ho Ho Ho using one layer of Holographic paper, one black layer, and 3 white layers.
• Glue layers together starting with the holographic one on the bottom, followed by the black layer and white layers. Discard the shadow layers from the white and black layers (or used them on a different card). The black layer adds a little extra shadow and dimension.

Happy Pawlidays Christmas Card | Studio Katia

Well hello, friends!

This fun card is for all my animal lovers out there. I was inspired by a recent photo I saw of some friends with their furry pets. So I thought it would be a great idea to recreate it as a Christmas card.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I stamped out all my images. The cute children and furries come from the LOVE FOR PAWS BUNDLE. To both kids, I added the Santa Claus hat that comes from the WINTER KOBI. The images were then colored using Copic Markers and then die cut with the coordinating dies.

Next, I stamped out the LOTS OF GIFTS TRIMMINGS on the background panel. I then colored the gifts very simply using a variety of red markers. I then added gold details with a gel pen. To the top of the presents, I first stamped out a tree from the HAPPY SNOWMEN set and then blended it a little to give it a glowing appearance. I then used a few INK BLENDER BRUSHES to blend out the top area of the panel used Distress Oxide inks.

Moving along, I trimmed down the panel and then glued the background to the scallop frame that comes from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4. I then popped the images back into the center of the scene using FOAM TAPE.

The sentiment comes from the HAPPY PAWLIDAYS Set, that I then die cut using the banner from the PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES. 

Here is how I finished off the inside of the card. The sentiments also come from the HAPPY PAWLIDAYS stamp set.

Sending family photo cards at this time of year is very common, so maybe sending a handmade card personalized to look like you and your furry pets may be another option and a cute surprise for your recipients.

Hope this Happy Pawlidays Christmas Card inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Warm Winter Wishes Holiday Card | Ink On 3

Hey Friends and Happy Friday!

I am so excited to share this Warm Winter Wishes Holiday Card with you today. I absolutely love how it all came together. The design, the colors, the sparkle, and the texture..., it just may be one of my all-time favorite cards! The stamps I used come from Ink On 3's LITTLE BIRDIE Set. The images in this set are so pretty and perfect for so many occasions but I wanted to show you how it could be used for the Holidays.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I stamped the Birdie using BLACKOUT INK and then colored it in using Prismacolor Pencils and fussy cut the image out. I actually had colored him for the first day of Kathy Raccosins latest coloring Coloring Challenge so that saved me some time when it came to putting this card together.

The next thing I did was plan out the design using the branch stamp. Once I had it somewhat figured out, I then placed the panel in the MISTI and stamped the branch using BLACKOUT INK. I then rotated the panel 90 degrees and placed it back in the MISTI stamped the branch again to create the same design on the opposite side in reverse. I repeated the same steps for each of the leaves and then I freehand stamped the berries and extra leaves to create subtle differences. 

The images were then colored in using Copic Markers and then to add a touch of sparkle I added a layer of LIQUID PIXIE DUST. I then trimmed down the panel that would then later be glued onto a red piece of cardstock.

Next, I stamped out the Sending stamp on the right side of the card panel and also stamped out the warm winter wishes onto black cardstock using ATELIER SHARK TOOTH WHITE INK, to which I then trimmed down and glued in place with a bit of foam.

To create the snow-like appearance on the branches and berries, I used Liquid Applique and puffed it up with the heat tool. Once it cooled off I added some glue on top of it and sprinkled some glitter on it for an added touch of sparkle. 

The last thing I did was to glue the Birdie in place using foam tape. 

I hope you have inspired by this Warm Winter Wishes Holiday Card of mine and I pray you and yours are staying warm and safe this Holiday season.

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