Super Kobi and the Monster Gang Halloween Scene Card


Are you Halloween fans? If so, make sure you are following the Studio Katia Blog for lots of Halloween inspiration from the design team this week!

Today I am sharing this fun Halloween scene card featuring Kobi the Super Bear Stamps and Dies and together with the Monster Bash Stamp and Die set.

To make this card I started by stamping out all the images, colored them in with Copic markers and then die cut them using coordinating dies. I then blended out 3 colors of distress oxide inks onto my background (Carved Pumpkin, Wilted Violet and Black Soot) and then sprayed the surface with water and picked up the droplets with a paper towel. Next I sprayed the Spider Web Stencil with water and layed it onto the background, allowing it to get absorbed by the paper. I then carefully lifted the stencil off and picked up the water from the paper using a paper towel, which left behind the behind the spiderweb impressions. I then die cut the background using the large dotted rectangle from the Dotted Patterns Set 3 Die set. Then I arranged the little monsters and glue them into place (some directly onto the background and others popped up with foam tape for dimension). Stamped the Halloween Greeting onto the sentiment banner strip from the Best Ever Die set, and glued that into place. Then I finished the card front by adding these fun Silver Polka Fusion Sequins for some sparkle as well as glossy accents.

Don't they look like little a little Street Gang?... makes me giggle!

Dancing Deer Die for Simon Says Stamp Fun and Festive Release | Partial Spinner Card


Hello Friends and thanks for joining me today! 

 I can finally share the card I made for Simon Says Stamp Fun and Festive Release 😄


My card features the new Dancing Deer Die. The idea I had for this card was to make it look like the Deer, lets call him Rudolf because he has a red nose 😉 was flying over the moon across a night sky. If you know me, you'll know I love interactive cards... so for this card I made it so that the moon spun from one side to another without letting the deer spin all the way around.

Dancing Deer Die for Simon Says Stamp Fun and Festive Release | Partial Spinner Card by ilovedoingallthingscrafty.com

I have been wanting to make a tall and skinny card for the longest time so I thought this card would work perfectly. 
  • To begin, I painted my night sky using Mijello Mission Gold Watercolors using a mix of Persian Blue and Ivory Black. 
  • To the background I added white splatters using a copic white pigment. Set it aside to dry.
  • Next I did all my die cutting. A white layer of the deer, a brown one and then a lighter brown for the antlers. I then pieced the deer together and added a red crystal to the nose.
  • I then die cut the pieces for the moon, 2 large circles for the moon, and 2 smaller circles to make the spinner element. 
  • I glued the 2 large circles together, then blended some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide Ink to the outer edge of the circle. Sprayed some water drops and picked it up with a paper towel.
  • Next, I worked on the spinner mechanism by gluing a flat button onto one of the smaller circles I had cut out. Set it aside to dry.
  • I then die cut a small circle on the upper half of the night sky background, slightly larger than the button. 
  • Next I placed the button through opening of the die cut circle and glued the other small die cut circle to the top. 
  • Once the spinner was dry and in place I added foam tape behind the background panel to pop it up and allow the spinner to move freely. Avoiding foam around the spinner area. Here is a link of a video to a previous spinner I created if you want a better idea of a similar process.
  • Before attaching the moon to the spinner, added a couple of pieces of foam tape around the mechanism to act as movement stoppers. One at the the 4 o'clock mark and another at the 9 o'clock mark. Do not remove the protective tape.
  • I then glued the deer onto the moon. Right about the middle part of the deer's body I added another piece of foam tape so that that piece would catch on the pieces that were already glued down on the panel. I then carefully placed and glued the moon onto the center of the spinning mechanism.


  • Next I die cut 3 layers of the Sending Die using white cardstock, stacked and glued them together and then added a silver glitter layer of cardstock to the top. 
  • Repeated the same thing with the Christmas Blessing Die.

  • Finished off the card by adding some white gel pen details and crystals.

The completed card measures 4 x 8.5 inches.

Chin Up Buttercup Bunny | No Line Coloring | Encouragement Card

Yay it's Friday!!! 

So if you are feeling down like my little Bunny Buttercup here, it's time you cheered up 😊cause it's the weekend Baby!

Chin Up Buttercup Bunny | No Line Coloring | Encouragement Card by ilovedoingallthingscrafty.com

To create this card:

  • Began by stamping out the Bunny from the Blah Humbunny set using Fadeout Ink. 
  • I stamped and cut out a mask to cover the bunny up so that I could stamp the flowers from the Chin Up Buttercup set out to build my scene. 
  • I then colored the images in using Copic markers and added detail using a coordinating prismacolor pencil. (Copics Used: Colorless Blender, RV10, Y02, Y08, Y17, YG17, B00, YG67, N0, N2, N4, N6, N8)
  • Once my scene was colored, I die cut the panel using the second largest frame from the Scallop A2 Frame dies.  
  • Next, I stamped the Chin Up on the top right hand side of the scalloped frame using Blackout Ink, and also stamped out Buttercup onto a another piece of paper so that I could die cut it out using the coordinating Buttercup die.
  • I also stamped out the little buzzing bee friend from the Bee Hive set, no line colored it and die cut it using the coordinating Bee Hive Dies.
  • Now that all the pieces were cut and colored I assembled the card, popping up the little bee and the Buttercup sentiment with foam tape and then attaching the scalloped panel to a bright yellow piece of cardstock cut to 4.25 by 5.5 inches, which was then mounted onto an A2 size card base.
  • I then added some Summer Sun confetti around the Buttercup greeting in the front panel and added some white detailing with a gel pen.

  • To the inside of the card I used a couple of stamps from the With Sympathy stamp set to stamp out the encouragement greeting.
