If you're not already following Ralph, be sure to check him out 👉 Here  His card-making style is truly unique, and his ASMR Reels are captivating, drawing viewers in with every swipe and tap. I was absolutely thrilled when Ralph invited me to create some projects with his new product line, and I'm beyond excited to share the creations I've made with you. 

HOW TOs (card recipe/supplies at the end)

To begin, I first die-cut the curtains for the stage using RT Stage Curtain Fancy Die. Next, using one of the RT Stage Curtain Stencils, I added the shadowing to the curtain. To the back of the curtains for extra strength and reinforcement, I glued a trimmed 1/2 inch strip down each side of the curtain panels. 

Now, die-cut the crowd. I used the same die cut from the RT Center Stage Crowd Fancy Die and die cut it out two times and just flipped one so that the silhouettes would all look different when staked together. Trim the back crowd layer to be shorter than the front of the audience. To that back layer, stamp out the sentiment from the RT Center Stage Bundle using white ink and heat set it in white embossing powder.

To make the stage Pop up, I created a couple of springs. One, made from red cardstock matching the curtains, that will rest behind the curtain cutouts, while the other, made from black cardstock, will be positioned in front of the audience. Each spring was cut from paper measuring 5.5 inches by 2 inches and scored at half-inch intervals. Once folded and glued in place, they will effortlessly spring into action, adding dynamic flair to the stage. Set the springs, the curtain, and the crowd aside until the card is ready to be assembled.

For the background of the stage, I used another stencil RT Stage Curtain Stencils to blend out the flooring, masking off the back wall. To make it look like a smokey stage with a spotlight in the center, I used masking tape to create a spotlight effect using Intens-ified Black Ink.

Once the background was done, I stamped the images from the RT Center Stage Bundle set onto the background panel. I used the curtain to make sure all my elements would be in view. Since this is also a Light Up card I punched out three holes where the spotlight centers are and one in the beam above that would be hidden by the curtain. To the back of the panel, I glued a piece of vellum to cover up the holes. Next, I taped down the lights from an EZ Light Unit to the openings of the panel. I then placed the battery in the Unit and secured it to the panel behind where the curtain will be. I then used foam tape to allow space between the panels for the lights, wire, and push button. Remove the release tape and attach the background to the card base.

On a white piece of cardstock, I stamped out what looked like a silhouette of a singer. In this case my  "Taylor Swift." I then die-cut the image using the coordinating die from the set. To the image, I used a glitter pen to add details and color to a sparkly dress, boots, and highlights in her hair. I also had to bling out the mic and stand. Once you are ready to add the singer to the scene, use foam to glue her in place which will also add some added dimension.

Now that all the elements are done, it is time to assemble the stage. Start by attaching the red spring to the top and the black spring to the bottom. Glue the curtain in place followed by the front layer of the crowd. Next, add some thick foam to the back layer of the crowd and glue it in place. Add Taylor Swift to your stage and for a touch of bling I added some gems to the stage's background. I should have done this step before the assembly, but I added some white gel pen details to add some highlights. In hindsight, it would have been a lot easier to do that before these pieces were glued in place.

To the inside, I stamped another sentiment from the RT Center Stage Bundle I also added a couple of the rub-on transfer designs to complete the card.

You're So FabOOlous Halloween Light Up/Wobbles Card | Ink On 3/Pear Blossom Press Collab

Hello Friends and Happy Saturday!

I hope you can join me over on Instagram for a fun IG Hop. Just in case you can't though, I still wanted to share this cute Interactive Halloween card here with you today featuring products from Inkon3 and Pear Blossom Press.

CARD DETAILS

This cute card wobbles and lights up. I began this card by stamping out the cute ghost images from the PUMPKIN FRIENDS set (which at the moment is sold out, sorry) using BLACKOUT INK. I then colored it in with a few Copic markers and fussy cut the images.

To create the background I used Atelier Inks, (see colors used below in the thumbnails) as well as the WAVY STENCIL. I then punched a few holes for the wire of the EZ-Lights to fit through. I also punched out the eyes of the larger ghost and attached one light behind each eye using tape to secure it in place. Behind the ghost, I also added an Action Wobbles Spring, then pull the excess wiring behind the panel. 

To make the ghost's eyes look cute and not scary, I first drew in some lashes and then added a couple of black sparkly transparent crystals.

Next, I stamped out the You're so sentiment from BAD AND BOUJEE onto my card panel before going any further. (forgot to stamp it prior to wiring). I then stamped out the fabOOlous onto black cardstock using JUICY INK and heat embossed it with ARCTIC WHITE E. POWDER. The FabOOlous was created by combining two sets, 1. DOGWOOD FLOWER and 2. PHAT ALPHANUMERIC. Using a piercing tool I poked holes through the centers of the O's.

Behind the sentiment, I used the last EZ-Light and attached it between the two O's to add a glow in behind them. I then added foam to the strip and attached it to the card front.

Finally, I taped down the EZ-Light push button behind the sentiment strip, where the recipient will push down on. Taped the excess wires to the pack of the card panel, leaving room along with the edges to add foam around the border and attached it to the card base.

And there you have it, a Halloween Light Up/Wobbles Card. SO cool right!? 

I hope you can catch the Instagram hop, I will post a quick video of the card coming together. Plus, both companies will be giving away some great prizes.

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

Hey BOO! | Halloween Light Up Interactive Card | Studio Katia

Well Hey, Boo! 

Today I have a special little card for you! Not only is this little pumpkin adorable, it is also interactive and lights up for the recipient. How fun is that?! I am so addicted to these new to me EZ-lights that I'm sure you will be seeing a lot more of these light-up cards in the future!

  CARD DETAILS

Here is how I made this card:

• Die-cut 2 HALF STRIPED COVER frames, one orange, and one purple.
• Rotate one Striped Cover over the other 90 degrees and glue together onto a white card panel.
• Die-cut the top, bottom, and frame pieces for the pumpkin using the SHAKER PUMPKIN DIES
• Glue the bottom of the pumpkin onto the center of the card panel.
• Punch a hole through both the card panel and the pumpkin base (somewhere where it won't be seen from the face openings.
• Add vellum behind the pumpkin face and add foam tape to the outer edges of the pumpkin's face.

• Thread the EZ-Light wire from behind the panel through the hole you punched through the panel. 
• Tape down each EZ-Light so that the light is able to shine through the vellum areas of the pumpkin's face. ( I taped them behind the top orange pumpkin layer)  
• Line up the pumpkin's face with the back layer and adhere them together with the foam tape.
• Glue down the pumpkin's frame around the pumpkin.
• Insert the battery and tape down the EZ-Light push button behind the area you want the recipient to push down on. Test the push area.
• Tape the excess wires to the pack of the card panel, leaving room along with the edges to add foam around the border. 

• Attach to the card base.
• Die-cut the letters from glitter craft foam using the CHUNKY ALPHABET and arrange and press onto the card front.
• Instead of writing push or press on the area, I used the Miss You stamp from the SWEET HEART CANDY.
• To finish, embellish with your favorite bling. (I used RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS and AMETHYST PEARLS).

Now let's see how cool it looks when you light it up!

How cool is that right?

I hope you were inspired by this fun Halloween Light Up Card. I'm already planning my next one, lol! Make sure you are following me on Instagram, I will post a quick video of the card coming together.
