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 👋

Citrus Trimmings Friendship Cards | Studio Katia

 

Hello my sweet friends!

Today I am sharing a couple of colorful Summer inspired Citrus Cards. I had recently colored the images during Kathy Raccosin's Daily Coloring Challenge and thought they would make some fun Friendship cards.

CARD DETAILS

Like I said I had previously colored the CITRUS TRIMMINGS images in, but before I colored them with ARTEZA BRUSH PENS, I stamped them out onto Bristol paper and heat embossed the lines using gold embossing powder. Once the images were colored and dry, I fussy cut the Citrus images out.

Next, I created the backgrounds. On this first card, I chose 4 different color cardstock that matched the colors of the oranges I had colored. I then stacked, rotated, and flipped a few of the layers to end up with this colorful lattice-like background. I then glued them all together and attached it to the front of the card base.

I then popped up the Orange Citrus trimmings in the center of the card using FOAM and then stamped out the sentiment onto a tag I die cut from the PEONY TRIMMINGS Die set. I then finished off this card using BUBBLEGUM and RIPE PERSIMMON PEARLS.

Add caption

For the Lemon/Lime version of the Citrus Card, the process was pretty much the same with a few exceptions.

This time I only used two colors of cardstock to create the background, and I glued the Citrus Trimmings along the bottom of the card without using foam tape.

I stamped the sentiment on to a banner from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 and adhered it in the center of the card using foam tape. Finally, to finish this one off, I added GOLD FOIL PEARLS.  I also added some glossy accents to the center sections of the fruit, but I didn't like how it lost the detail of the watercolor painting I had done, so I did not add accents to the previous card. If you look closely you will see the difference. 

Hopefully, you were inspired by this bright and colorful Citrus Trimmings Friendship Cards. I had so much fun designing these. 

Thank you for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
