Studio Katia Flower Cards


Hello friends!
 Hope you are all well... I've been battling a cold for about a week now but it hasn't stopped me from playing with my new stamps 😆 cough, cough, sniffle!

Anyways, recently Studio Katia celebrated their 1st Birthday Sale to which of course I had to take advantage of. I was able to pick up a few stamps sets and a bunch of sequins before stuff sold out! Cool part is Studio Katia is local and from right here in my city. What a small world!!!

My cards today feature her Thank You So Much stamp set. 
I just love how big this Flower bloom is!


For the purple flower I created a layered bloom. 


Here is a closer look.


If you'd like to watch the how it came together, watch my process video.
Here are the Zig Colors I used No. 36, 41, 80, & 81.
Links to supplies I used will be listed below.

Hope these Studio Katia flower Cards have inspired you today!

Thanks for stopping by!
Happy Crafting  :)

SSS Sketch Ranunculus Bouquets for Mom Cards

Hello there everyone!

Wishing you an early Happy Mother's Day to all my Mommy friends out there. Hope your weekend will be filled with lots of hugs and kisses from your loved ones!

Today I want to share with you the cards I made for my Mom and my MIL. 
Since I love flowers I figured my mom's would too! I used the SSS Sketch Ranunculus Stamp Set to create the bouquets.


For my coloring, I used the Zig Clean Color Brush markers.
No. 03, 25, 27, 29, 31, 41, 50, 52, 53, 80 and 81.
I love how easy these markers are to work with and blend!


The other stamp set I used for my cards comes from Mama Elephants - Labelled Messages.


I filmed a process video for these cards if you wanted to take a look on how they came together.
Links for the supplies I used are listed below and in the video description.

FREE - Forty Birthday Cake Topper SVG and Studio File


Hello and welcome back friends!

Last week I shared with you all a card I made for one of my best friends who recently turned 40. Well today I want to share not only the cake I made for her but I also want to give you the file for the cake topper I created in her honour... for FREE of course!

With limited time, I thought making a naked cake for her celebration would be the quickest and easiest... well I was kind of right. It was way quicker than making a fondant covered cake but not the easiest, as I had never done this before. I am truly and happy with the results and love the look of the fresh flowers, which was a first for me too!

The cake itself was half vanilla and half chocolate. 
Bottom layers chocolate, top vanilla.
I used 10 inch pans for bottom tier and 6 inch for the top tier.
The entire cake was covered with vanilla buttercream icing and finished it with a caramel syrup.

Doesn't it look Yummy!? 😋


As for the cake topper...

I designed the topper using the Silhouette Studio Software.
I cut out 3 layers of heavy 110 lbs white cardstock. 
Glued them back to back with a spray adhesive.
Cut out my glitter layer and adhered that one to the top. 
(I didn't have any gold glitter paper left, so I improvised and used a piece of Cricut Glitter Vinyl in gand adhered it to a piece of 60 lb cardstock and then cut it out... worked like a charm!)
I then used hot glue to secure a very thin wooden dowel to the back of the topper,
and that's it... fancy DIY topper all done!

For a visual how to click HERE← for a previous cake topper video. 
Also, check out the links below for products I used to make the topper.
