Crafty Friend Birthday Card

Hello everyone!

Today I have an example of a quick and simple birthday card you can make for a crafty friend. The Studio Katia Birthday Greetings is packed with wonderful birthday sentiments for both crafty and non-crafty friends. It is definitely one of my go-to stamp sets when I make birthday cards for my crafty friends.

To make the card, I blended a few colors of Distress Oxide Ink on to a piece of Bristol Paper.
I then sprayed the paper with water to lift some of the color. Next, I die cut a piece of white cardstock using the Halftone Dots Cover Die to add to the colored panel and complete the background. I then glued the background onto a top folding A2 sized black card base. For the greeting, I stamped it on some black cardstock using a white pigment ink and then heat set it with white embossing powder. I then cut the paper into a square shape and added it to the center of the card, popping it up with foam tape. To add some shine and sparkle to the card, I added some April Crystals randomly to the card front.

To the inside of the card, I stamped this greeting onto a white piece of paper that I glued then on the inside panel.

Next time you want to make a quick and easy birthday card hopefully you think of and are inspired by this crafty friend birthday card of mine!

Thank you all for stopping by 😊

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋

No Probllama Encouragement Card

Happy Friday!

Today's card features one of my favorite sets from Honey Bee Stamps latest BEE Bold Release which is the No Probllama Stamp set and coordinating Dies. It is such a fun set to play with.

For this card, I began by stamping out all the images I was going to use, colored them in with Copic markers and then die cut them with the coordinating dies. (See links below for supplies used) I then blended out the sunset like background using various Distress Oxide inks onto Bristol Paper.

For the greeting of the front of the card, I combined the No Probblama set with the Prickly Sentiments to come up with an encouraging sentiment. I stamped out the sentiment using a white pigment ink and then used a white embossing powder to heat set it. For the inside, I used another sentiment from the Pricky Sentiment set and then used the coordinating Llama die to cut out a Llama in black to add it to the bottom of the inside of the card. And that is pretty much all for this card!

I love how this card turned out. Hopefully, it inspired you enjoyed it too!

Lovely Blooms Shaker Card

Hello my Crafty friends and Happy Monday!

Today I have a floral shaker card to share with featuring a medley of Studio Katia goodness.

This card features the Lovely Blooms floral stamp that I stamped a few times onto a piece of Bristol Paper using Versafine Black Onyx Ink. I then heat set the ink with some black embossing powder. To color in my flowers, I used Jane Davenport's Mermaid Markers. I then added black ink splatters all over the finished piece.

Once the coloring was all dry I die cut the panel using the Dotted Pattern Loops Die. I then glued down the circle cut-outs onto the card front, making sure the images aligned properly. Next, I added my acetate sheet to the back of the panel and then using thin strips of foam tape I built up the wells for my shaker crystal bits. Then I placed a sprinkle full of Sparkling Crystal Mix onto each circle and then carefully lined up the top panel with the card base. For my sentiment, I die cut the friend from the Spring Bouquet Die a few times, stacked and glued them together and then added a few layers of black embossing powder to create the shiny finish. I glued the friend to a banner from the Dotted Pattern Set 2 Dies and added it to the front of the card. Finished the card by adding the Oh, Hello from the Best Friends Stamp Set. I also added a black crystal to where the dot of the "i" on the friend would be. And that is pretty much all for this card.

I hope this brightly colored shaker card inspired you today!

Until next time... Happy Crafting!
