You Are Freaking Awesome | Honey Bee Stamps Happy BEE Day Release Preview

Yay! Today is Day 5 and the last day of Sneak Peeks for the Honey Bee Stamps Bee Day Release! Click here if you missed any of my sneaks → Day 1, Day 2, Day 3 and Day 4!

For my card today I wanted to keep it quite playful as the background I created reminded of a Jesters outfit.

CARD DETAILS
To begin I used the DIAMOND PATTERN stencils to blend out a few colors of distress oxide inks. To keep the Diamonds from blending into each other I used a mask I made using post-it notes.

I then stamped into each diamond a design from the new DIAMOND PATTERNS stamp set using the same colored oxide ink I had blended the Dimond out with.

The sentiments I used come from the very sassy AWESOME SAUCE stamp set that I stamped in Juicy Ink SSS|IO3 onto black card stock and then used white embossing powder SSS|IO3 to heat set it. I then used the BANNER BUILDER Dies to cut out the sentiment strips and added them to the card front using foam tape. Finally, I finished off this card with a few CLEAR IRIDESCENT sequins.

Shark-Tastic Birthday Wobbler Card | Studio Katia

Happy Friday my "Jawsome" friends!

Yah,  I really can't help it, I am going to be a bit punny with my card today. This Jawsome stamp set is filled with so many punnies perfect for so many occasions. But today I'm using it to share a fun birthday card I made for my little cousin. I'm kinda kicking myself because the shark on the surfboard is on a wobbler and I didn't get a clip of it in action😭. So you will have to take my word for it it is SO Sharktastic, lol!

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I stamped out the sharks and the surfboard from the JAWSOME set. Colored them in with Copic markers and then die cut them with the JAWESOME coordinating dies. 

Next, I created the pieces for the background. On Bristol paper, I blended out the sun rays for the sky using the UNDERWATER SUN RAYS using mustard seed distress oxide ink, then die cut the panel with the dotted frame from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3 DIES. 

For the ocean background, I blended out salty ocean oxide ink onto Bristol paper and once a base of color was applied I added the waves in by blending out another layer of color using the BRUSH STROKE WAVES STENCIL. To add a little more interest to the water I spritzed the piece with some water drops and picked them up with a paper towel. I then die cut waves into the ocean by using the TRIMMINGS BORDERS CREATIVE DIE and then die cut the dotted bottom edge and the sides to line up with the Sun Rays panel using the same DOTTED PATTERNS SET 3 DIES. 

Now that all the pieces were done, I assembled the card onto a top folding A2 sized card front. I started by gluing on the sun rays piece first, and then the middle wave piece and lastly, the bottom wave popped up using foam tape. At this point, I stamped on the sentiment to the top of the card front using a stamp positioner. Finally, I glued the sharks as shown in the water, but for the shark on the right I first glued him to the surfboard (don't look to closely or you will see that he is actually on the bottom of it, I was trying to cover up the bite mark from the board, haha) and then I attached the glued surfing shark to an action wobbler to add an interactive element for the recipient. I then finished the card by adding some clear CLEAR ROUND DROPS MIX.

On the inside, I had stamped the sentiment "have a JAWSOME birthday" but forgot to photograph it
😣

Aloha Friendship Card | Studio Katia

Hello Friends, today I am on the Studio Katia Blog with this tropical vibes friendship card. I think it may be time to plan a nice warm vacation somewhere where these beautiful flowers grow😉

CARD DETAILS

To begin I stamped out the Floral Cluster image from the ALOHA set using Copic safe ink and then colored in it using Copic markers. Sorry lost the color chart I used as I had colored in this image during Kathy Racoosin's Coloring Challenge. I then used the coordinating ALOHA dies to cut the image. 

The next thing I did was blend out the background using the UNDERWATER SUN RAYS stencil using Squeezed Lemonade and Picked Raspberry Oxide Inks. Then onto the background, I glued on the GRID COVER I had die cut using a yellow piece of cardstock. 

Next, I stamped out the ALOHA sentiment onto black cardstock using white pigment ink and then heat set it with white embossing powder.

To finish, all I did was adhere the pieces onto the card front using foam tape. For a touch of sparkle, I added some MAJESTIC FUSION sequins and also added some glossy accents to flower stamens. And that is pretty much it for this card. I think this will make a great friendship card, you can also add a birthday greeting on the inside to make it a birthday card in the future.
