Slimline Crafty Hugs Friendship Card | Studio Katia

Hello, again my Friends!

I am back today with another card for Studio Katia. If you missed the news, make sure you click on the link to join the Studio Katia June Release Blog Hop, lots of inspiration and prizes to be won! 

I was so excited to see some slimline dies and a 6X6 paper pack in the New Release which has lots of rainbow pattern goodness (which happens to be my favorite). Plus you know I love all things crafty, so I absolutely love the CRAFTASTIC set that I used in today's card. 

  CARD DETAILS

To begin this card I actually began by die cutting the cup of crafty tools out first using the CRAFTASTIC DIES.  The die is solid which makes it harder to line up with a stamped image. It was designed this way because it cuts inside the stamped area. But by die cutting it first, I now knew where to stamp the image from the CRAFTASTIC set and line it all up.

TIP: If you use the negative piece of the die-cut and line it up in your stamp positioner you can then center the stamp in the die-cut area. Test out the alignment by using a post-it under the die-cut opening, and then once it is lined up, add your die-cut piece back in place and stamp. This is a great way to stamp multiple images for mass production.

I then just colored the images in using Copic markers and stamped the "you inspire me" sentiment on the front of the mug.

Next, I die cut center dotted frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2 and stamped out the sentiments from the CRAFTASTIC set.

I then die cut the scalloped layer using a rainbow pattern cardstock from the new BLACK, WHITE, AND RAINBOW PAPER pack. I taped used 2 pieces of the paper together to create the length for the Slimline Scallop Die that comes again from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 2.

Beneath the scalloped rainbow layer, I also added the largest dotted frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 1.  I then assembled the card using FOAM TAPE and Studio Katia Glue.

To finish off the rainbow-inspired Slimline Crafty Hugs Friendship Card, I added a variety of pearls in various colors of the rainbow. See links below for all the new pearls.

I hope you love this card as much as I do, and are inspired to create something similar to send to a crafty friend that inspires you!

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

Frameless Slimline Holiday Shaker Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Hello Friends!

This week starts off the Honey Bee Stamps 4th Annual 12 Designers of Christmas Event, and they are showcasing little old me on Day 2 😊

So today I am back with another shaker card. If you have been following me you know that I have been making a few of these frameless holiday shakers lately. This time I thought it would be fun to create the slimline version. The process of making them is super simple, so if you want to know how they are made watch my latest video →HERE  I promise it is much easier to watch then for me to try to explain it.

CARD DETAILS

I started this card by cutting out the panel for the card out of Bristol paper. The panel was cut to 4x8 inches and then eventually glued onto the same size card base. 

I wanted to make a northern sky background so I used a bunch of Distress Oxide Inks to blend out the colors for the background (see links below for the colors used). Once I had completed the blending I then spritzed the paper with water and pick up the droplets with a paper towel.

For the snowy hill that the snowman is on, I die cut a piece of white cardstock with the DOUBLE STITCHED OVALS. I then stamped out the sentiment from the SEASON TO SPARKLE set and heat set the black Versafine Onyx Ink with clear embossing powder.

To the sky, I glued on some of the snowflakes from the LAYERING SNOWFLAKE DIES.

This darling little snowman comes from the SNOW BUDDIES stamp set that I colored in using Copic markers and then die cut with the coordinating SNOW BUDDIES DIE set. I also added some Liquid Pixie Dust to the body to add some sparkle and added some gel pen details to the scarf and ear muffs.

To fill in the shaker I used MOON DANCE and a BLIZZARD CONFETTI MIX. To the top of the plastic, I added some white enamel stickers from the BACK TO BASICS set.

I hope this Frameless Slimline Holiday Shaker inspired you today. I absolutely love how this bright and colorful card turned out and hope you did too.

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
