A Sparkly and Bright Merry Christmas Slimline Card | Studio Katia

Happy Monday Friends.

How fun would it be if the snow was all the colors of the rainbow? What a magical place it would be. A rainbow lover's dream for sure!

Anywho, let's get on with how this pretty Sparkly card came together. 

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I die cut the background panel using the larger frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 1. I then used the INK BLENDER BRUSHES to blend out the rainbow colors using the CONFETTI STENCIL and Distress Oxide Inks. It's difficult to see from the pictures but I also stamped out a large SNOWFLAKE on the panel that I heat embossed in white.

The cute snowman comes from the HAPPY SNOWMEN that was colored using Copics and then die cut with the coordinating HAPPY SNOWMEN DIES. The Trees in the scene come from the WINTER KOBI set that I also colored with Copics and die cut with the coordinating WINTER KOBI DIES.

To create the sparkly hills, I used the TRIMMINGS BORDERS CREATIVE DIES and just extended the wave by lining up the end of the cut with the die again to fit the slimline format. I then die cut the hill piece with the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 1 to create the same finished edge along the bottom of the panel. To add the sparkly detail, I used an old paintbrush and loaded it with STUDIO KATIA GLUE and then painted the hills with it. I then poured the CHUNKY SPARKLE GLITTER over the wet glue and pressed it in place with a piece of scrap paper. Once it was dry I glued it onto the background panel.

For the sentiment, I stamped the Merry from the POINSETTIA BORDER on the top right-hand side of the panel and then stamped the Christmas in white onto black cardstock. I then used a small banner die from the PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES to layer on to the Merry.

For a finishing touch of more sparkle, I added some IRIDESCENT STARS to the rainbow sky.

I hope this Sparkly and Bright Christmas Card inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Happy Birthday Slimline Shaker Card | Studio Katia

Hello, my Friends and Happy Wednesday!

I have a fun Birthday Slimeline shaker card to share with you all today. I love making slimline cards and since this is a birthday card, I thought making it interactive would be fun for the recipient.

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped the cute little MINI BIRTHDAY CAKE and die cut it using the coordinating MINI BIRTHDAY CAKE DIE. I then colored the image in using Copic Markers.

The next step was to die cut all the pieces for the shaker card. I first die cut the larger frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2. I then die cut the center of the panel using the oval dotted frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 1. Behind the slimline panel, I glued a piece of acetate cut large enough to cover the window. To line the perimeter of the oval opening I used FOAM TAPE that I cut to about half of the width.

On the slimline card base, I glued a piece of rainbow pattern paper from the BLACK, WHITE AND RAINBOW PAPER pack. Since the slimline is longer than the papers, I just extended the pattern by adding another piece of the same pattern that I cut to fit the card base. I then added the VANILLA LUSTER FUSION sequins to the center of the pattern paper and carefully lined up the front panel to create the shaker.

Next, I die cut the Birthday letters using the CHUNKY ALPHABET dies and added small pieces of BLACK FOAM to the back of each letter to add a bit of dimension and then attached them to the card front.

In place of the "A", I just added the cute little birthday cake that I had previously colored. I also added the "happy" sentiment that comes from the HAPPY CELEBRATIONS set that I heat embossed in white on black cardstock and then fussy cut.

To finish off this fun and festive slimline birthday card, I glued on a few rainbow-colored pearls. See links below for the ones I used. 

I hope this card inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
