National Tea Day Blog Hop | Studio Katia

Happy National Tea Day for all of you that love tea!

Today Studio Katia has teamed up with the Coffee Loving Cardmakers to celebrate National Tea Day with a fun Blog Hop. Make sure you leave comments along the Hop to qualify for a $50 CAD Gift Certificate to the Studio Katia Store.

For my card today, I wanted to create an inviting table scene for someone to enjoy a cup of tea. 

I began this card by stamping out a few of the images from the Sweet Latte set onto Bristol paper and then colored them in using Zig markers. I did a little bit of masking to add the teaspoon to the side of the teacup and fussy cut that out, and then used the coordinating dies to cut out the rest of the images.

Next, I did some dry embossing to add texture to my cardstock using the Mandala Stencil and running it through the Sizzix die cutting machine with an embossing mat. I then took the embossed piece and die cut the piece using the Dotted Pattern Set 3 dies to create a window for my scene.

To the background of what is the card base, I blended out a very subtle glow using Squeezed Lemon Distress Oxide ink and then began building the scene. The first piece I glued down was the patterned paper for a tablecloth and then added all the pieces to the table using foam tape to pop them up. I also stamped the hearts and steam to the background, colored those in and added some glossy accents. Lastly, I added the embossed frame using foam tape to create a window.

For the sentiment, I stamped out the many sweet thanks onto the dotted rectangle from the Dotted Patterns Set 2 and trimmed the edges to slide behind the tea kettle.

Hope you found some warmth and comfort in my card today, have a wonderful weekend and for those of you celebrating National Tea Day with us... 

Cheers to you!

Christmas Caroling Forest Friends Card | Honey Bee Stamps

Do you know any Christmas Carolers? Well if you do this would make a great card for them! 

For this card, I combined the Gather Together friends with some of the Snow Buddies stamps to create this Christmas caroling winter scene.

I began this scene by stamping out the elements from the Snow Buddies stamp set first onto a piece of watercolor paper. I then created masks for the images to cover them up. I then lined up the large Gather Together stamp with the images I had stamped previously, making sure that everything was aligned properly then removed the masks.

Next, I used the Mijello Misson Gold watercolors to color in the entire image. Once dry, I added the falling snow using one of the stencils from the Winter Wonderland Background set and texture paste.

I then stamped out the sentiments from the Fa La La stamp set onto black cardstock and die cut the strip using the Banner Builder dies. I also die cut the falala word die various times from the Fa La La die set to create a 3 layer thick sentiment to use across the card.

As for finishing touches, I added clear Wink of Stella to some areas, glossy accents to all their little eyes and noses and along the bottom I also added Liquid Applique to create some snow mounds.

You practically have to sing this card to read the front of it so I hope it gets you into the Holiday Spirit. Hope you enjoyed this Christmas Caroling Forest Friends Card creation today. For more inspiration using these products stop by Honey Bee Stamps.

Until next time... Happy Crafting 👋
