Sending Happy Thoughts Colorful Pomegranate Trimmings Card | Studio Katia

Happy Monday friends!

I wanted to send you all some happy thoughts in the form of a cheerful card today. I love bright and colorful cards and this one just makes me smile as I hope it does you.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I had stamped out the image from the POMAGRATE TRIMMINGS set and heat set it using Black embossing powder. I then used Arteza Brush pens to color the pomegranate images in non-traditional colors. I then fussy cut the image out.

Next, I die cut the HALFTONE LINES COVER using 4 different colors of cardstock. I then used the strips to create a colorful background for the card front. Because the die cuts various widths of strips you can use them to create various designs for the backgrounds.

I then added the POMAGRATE TRIMMINGS piece across the card front and popped it up using foam tape, trimming off the excess that hung off the sides.


For the sentiment, I stamped the Sending Happy Thoughts from the PEONY TRIMMINGS set on a banner from the coordinating PEONY TRIMMINGS dies.

For embellishments, I used LEMON BURST, SEAFOAM, PRISMATIC SKY, and BUBBLEGUM PEARLS.

I hope this cheerful Pomegranate Trimmings Card gave you happy thoughts and made you smile today.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Peony Trimmings Window Shaker Scene Card | Studio Katia

Hello, my friends. How are you all doing? I hope you all are hanging in there. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. Besides going to work, I stay at home with the family and try to distract myself as much as possible by crafting, cleaning, baking, helping the kids with school work... I wish I could just sit and relax but I just can't :(

Today's card was obviously was inspired by our current reality. Most of us are now looking at the world through a window by staying as safe as possible in our homes. I pray we all do our part so that we can be with each other in person again soon.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I stamped the PEONY TRIMMINGS out and then colored them in using Copic markers. If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen that I colored the peonies during Kathy Racoosin's last 30-day coloring challenge.

I then used the PEONY TRIMMINGS coordinating dies to cut out the flowers.

Next, I created the shaker window.  I die cut all the pieces form the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 and used most of them to make the window scene. To the center frame, I glued a piece of ACETATE and then added the two inside window frames that I colored with a grey marker.

I then added FOAM TAPE along the edge of the window frame, filled it with SATIN RAINBOW CONFETTI added the cloud-like banners from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 to create a curtain-like design and then closed the shaker up with a piece of cardstock that I had blended with some Atelier Inks from Ink On3 to make it look like a sunrise.

To the card panel, I blended out the brick background using the SQUARE BRICK stencil and Iced Spruce Distress Oxide ink. I then glued the shaker window in the center of the card front and glued the scallop frame to the background. I then glued the peonies onto the card front.

To finish the card off I stamped out the thinking of you sentiment from the PEONY TRIMMINGS and then die cut it out using a banner die from the PEONY TRIMMINGS coordinating dies.

I hope you find this card inspiring. Please stay safe and stay home and keep looking out your windows! As a health care worker, that means so much to me as it increases my chances of also staying safe and keeping my family safe.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Peony Trimmings Hexagon Shaker Card | Studio Katia

Hello Friends and Happy St. Patrick's Day!

I hope you are all staying safe and enjoying some downtime with your family at home during this pandemic in this crazy world around us. If you are alone, make sure you are staying active on social media. This is a great time to be more social virtually. Hopefully, this virus will be contained soon so we can return to our usual life and the kids can go back to school. In the meantime, let's make the most of it and do our part to keep our families and our community safe by staying at home. Being a nurse I do have to go to work but will do my best to be safe when caring for my patients and hopefully not bring any virus home with me.

I don't have a St.Patty's day card to share but it is definitely Spring-inspired which gives me hope for the future. I cannot wait to see some color in my back yard and see the busy bees back at work in my garden.

  CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped and white heat embossed the PEONY TRIMMINGS. I then colored them in using Arteza Brush pens. I then die cut the flowers with the coordinating PEONY TRIMMINGS dies.

Next, I die cut the background using the MICRO HEXAGON COVER and glued a CLEAR ACETATE SHEET to the back of the die-cut panel. To the background, I added a thin strip of foam tape along the perimeter to create the shaker area. I then added the MAJESTIC GLITTER and the IRIDESCENT CRYSTALS to the top of the card front base and glued down the Hexagon cover.

To finish up and embellish the card further, I added the cute little be from the HONEY BEES stamp and DIE set

The sentiment also comes from the PEONY TRIMMINGS that I then stamped onto a banner from the PEONY TRIMMINGS Die set.

For an added touch of shine, I added some IRIDESCENT BUBBLES in various sizes.

Thank you for stopping by, I hope you were inspired by this Spring Peony Trimmings Hexagon Shaker Card. Until next time... Happy Crafting and make sure to wash your hands! 👋
