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

 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 😍

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!

Graduation Shaker Card | Studio Katia

Hello friends!

Graduation season is upon us and I am so very thankful that my son gets to have a normal High School Graduation this year. After the last two years of a very restricted High School experience, he finally gets to enjoy a little normalcy at the end. Today I am sharing the Graduation shaker card I made for him, luckily he pays no attention to my social media, so this will be a surprise for when he graduates at the end of the month. Blue and yellow are his school colors, so I thought this would be perfect for him. 

CARD RECIPE

• Stamp the Happy Graduation cap onto Bristol Paper using Fadeout Ink for a no-line watercolor look.  Here I used Zig Clean Color Markers.
• Once colored and dry, die cut the Graduation cap using the Happy Graduation Dies.
• For the background, use the Chucky Sprinkles Stencil. I blended out blue ink and then used a gold paste.
• For the front of the shaker, use the largest of Nested Ovals to cut the window. 
• I used Blue ink to blend out the edges of the card panel.
• Line the back of the oval window using Acetate.
• Use the new Foam Strips 1/8th to create the space for the shaker pieces to move.
• Fill the shaker area. I used Radiant Pineapple Fusion and blue stars (sorry no longer sold).
• Remove the protective tape and seal with the sprinkled background.

• Glue shaker to an A2 size card base.
• Stamp out the sentiment from the Happy Graduation onto a banner from the Simple Trimmings Dies. I used the Misti to make the sentiment curve like the banner. 
• Die-cut a shadow layer using gold foil paper and glue the banner to the card front. 
• Pop the Graduation cap onto the front of the shaker window using foam tape.
• Finish the front by adding some Blue satin pearls, these I picked out from the Satin Pearls Mix.
• It's hard to see from the photos, but I added a little extra sparkle to the bottom of the flowers using some Sparkle Glitter.

I hope this graduation shaker inspired you today, especially if you were wanting to create a masculine graduation card with this stamp.

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