A Rainbow Ho Ho Ho Holiday Card | Studio Katia Winter Release Blog Hop and Giveaway

Hello and welcome to our hop for the Studio Katia Winter Release! If you have started hopping already you may have arrived from the Studio Katia Blog. Stay tuned for where to hop next and more details on how to enter the giveaway🎉

This Winter Release includes 6 stamp sets, 4 with coordinating dies, 3 standalone dies, 3 stencils, and 1 paper pad. 

My super simple non-traditional Christmas card features the new Playful Dots Stencil and the Ho Ho Ho Die.

CARD RECIPE

• Ink-blend the background using the Playful Dots Stencil. I used yellow, pink, and blue inks to create the rainbow blend.
• Leaving the stencil in place, add a layer of glimmer paste. Remove the stencil and wash it immediately as the glimmer paste can be hard to remove once dry. Set the background aside to dry.
• Die cut the Ho Ho Ho using one layer of Holographic paper, one black layer, and 3 white layers.
• Glue layers together starting with the holographic one on the bottom, followed by the black layer and white layers. Discard the shadow layers from the white and black layers (or used them on a different card). The black layer adds a little extra shadow and dimension.

Studio Katia Winter 2019 Release - Sneak Peek Day 2

Hello friends!

Today is Day 2 of the Studio Katia Winter 2019 Release Sneak Peeks, and I am sharing a card featuring the cutest furry critters that will be coming soon to Studio Katia called the HAPPY PAWLIDAY Stamp and Die Set. Please note that links to new products listed may not work until the release goes LIVE in the shop next week 😉

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out the image from the HAPPY PAWLIDAY Stamp set and then colored in only the certain areas of the critters to keep the coloring simple using Copic Markers and then die cut it using the coordinating Die.

I then added the furry bunch to a piece of cardstock that I had blended shades of dark blue distress oxide inks too and then added an embossed layer of gold embossing powder using the new SNOW-FETTI stencil. (Please note, I was a bit heavy-handed on pushing the JUICY watermark ink into the stencil which ended up making some of the stars look like blobs. I was OK with that, after all, it is a handmade card, imperfection and all.)

Next, I die-cut white cardstock to create snowy hills using the TRIMMINGS BORDERS CREATIVE DIES. Stamped the sentiment onto the top hill and then added some glue to the top of the die-cut edges and sprinkled the SPARKLE GLITTER over the wet areas to add some sparkle and shine.

To embellish, I added some GOLD SPARKLE CRYSTALS and finished off the image by adding some glossy accents to areas and adding liquid applique to puff up some of the hat furs. I hope you enjoyed today's Furry Friends Pawliday Sneak Peak card.

Studio Katia Winter 2019 Release - Sneak Peek Day 1

Welcome to Studio Katia Winter 2019 Release - Sneak Peek Day 1. Today I am featuring a few new stamps and dies coming soon to the Studio Katia Shop. Please note that links to new products listed may not work until the release goes LIVE in the shop next week 😉

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out one of the images from the LOTS OF GIFTS TRIMMINGS stamp set and then heat embossed the lines in gold. I then used a Zig marker to add some coloring to the image.

I then die cut the image out using the TRIMMINGS BORDERS CREATIVE DIES as well as the DARLING RIBBON AND FRAMES DIES.

Next, I popped the image along the bottom of the card from that I had die cut using the new MINI POLKA DOTS COVER die that I had glued onto a piece of blue cardstock.

I then die cut a bunch of the "Falala's" from the HAPPY PAWLIDAYS die set that I trimmed and glued together to add as the sentiment on this festive card.

To embellish the card I, added some IRIDESCENT ICE FLAKES. I hope you enjoyed today's sneak peek card. Come back tomorrow for another peek.
