Winter Fun with Studio Katia's Ice Day Penguins

Hello my friends! I am back today with a winter scene card featuring the cute penguins from Kobi's Ice Day stamp set. It still is early for winter here in Canada but it has already snowed a few times here since September, but thankfully it has melted! Although as the cold weather approaches I begin looking forward to the fun winter activities ahead.

For this card, I was imagining these cute little penguins having fun on a winter day... walking across a frozen lake wing in wing... sliding across the ice on their bellies... I also thought it would be fun to make it look like it was snowing and so turned this scene into a shaker card.

To make this card I began by stamping out the images onto Bristol paper, colored them in with Zig markers and then die cut them with the coordinating dies. Next, I worked on the background by blending out Peacock Feathers, Broken China, and Mermaid Lagoon Oxide Inks onto the background. I then misted the background with water and picked it up with a paper towel leaving behind watermarks on the inked panel. The next thing I did was cut out the card front to create the windows for the shaker.  I used the large oblong window die from the Dotted Patterns Set 3 to cut out the two windows and then used the large rectangle die from the Dotted Patterns: Darling Ribbon Dies to cut out the entire panel. I then stamped out the winter fun stamp between the windows. I used the windows I had just cut out to figure out where to stamp the snowflakes onto the inked panel. Once the distress oxide ink was dry, I stamped out the snowflakes and heat set them with white embossing powder and began assembling the shaker card. The shaker mix consists of Silver Foil Stars and Sparkling Stars Confetti Glitter. Finally, I finished the card by gluing the penguins in place and adding some Iridescent Ice Flakes to the card front.

I hope this Winter Fun Card inspired you today. For more inspiration using these products check out the Studio Katia Blog!

Honey Bee Friends Adore Him | Christmas Nativity Scene Card

Hey All!

As I was looking through my Honey Bee Stamp sets the other day I realized that I didn't have much in the way of Christmas Stamps and then it came to me 😲 I had this huge Adore Him Sentiment stamp, and as I was brainstorming, a Nativity Scene came to mind. And so, I gathered all my farm animal stamps and began working on this Honey Bee Friends Christmas Nativity Scene Card. 

To make this card I started off by stamping out Pinky the Pig and then masked him off to stamp Lily the Lamb next to him. I then also masked the lamb to stamp out the Llama above them. To create the manger, I stamped out the top half of the basket from the Bushel and Peck set. The stamped little blanket comes from the No Probllama set. Since the Three Wise Men brought gifts for baby Jesus I thought it would be cute to have Pinky offer Him a donut. So I stamped out and die cut a donut to place in Pinky's hooves.

The images were all colored in using Copic Markers. (Copic list: Colorless Blender 0, C1, C3, C5, N0, B05, B28, B69, R20, R22, RV10, Y08, E00, E11, E15, E18, E29, E37, E93) Once I was done coloring, I used coordinating dies to die cut the animals by doing some partial die cutting. What I could die cut, I then fussy cut by hand.

Next, I created the background by adding Black Soot to the edges of a dark blue piece of cardstock cut to 4.25 X 8.5 inches. To the background, I added white spatters and stamped out the Adore Him Sentiment in the top left corner. Once the background was complete I glued down the animals to the background piece and then popped up the manger using foam tape.

I then added the finishing details by gluing some Rainbow Rhinestone crystals to the sky, glossy accents to their eyes, noses and the glazed donut, and by adding some stars to the sky using a white gel pen.

Hope this Christmas Nativity Scene Card inspired you today to stretch your stamp collection and create something altogether new.
