To begin I stamped out the images using fadeout ink and then colored them in using Arteza Brush pens on Bristol Paper.

Next, I die cut my pieces with the FARM FRESH FLOWERS DIES and glued them together then foam mounted it onto the Buffalo Plaid Background I had created for the card front using both the BUFFALO PLAID stamp and the BUFFALO PLAID COVERPLATE.

You have made it to Day 5 of the of Sneak Peeks for Honey Bee Stamps 5th Anniversary Release, YAY!!! All products will go live aMidnight, so get your shopping list ready!!!

CARD DETAILS

All my cards today feature the FLOWER PETAL AND CENTERS COVERPLATES. To make 3 cards I only used each cover plate once!

For the first two cards, I glued the die cuts to a background that  I had added a rainbow blend two. I then just trimmed the panel in half to create pieces for two card fronts.

To the flower centers, I glued on RAINBOW RHINESTONES. I then stamped out the Hello from the new FRIEND stamp set. And added the stacked FRIEND DIE from the coordinating die set.

The same process and products were used on this nest card, only this time done in a landscape version.

Oops, just noticed a little die-cut piece that snuck into the picture. Can you spot it?!

This last one, I used both the FLOWER PETAL AND CENTERS COVERPLATES and stacked them together. I used the dotted areas as a guide to added different colors to the flowers.

I then added the same RAINBOW RHINESTONES to the centers and then added some green petals throughout.

To create the scene I just did some ink blending to the grass area and the sky and to divide the space and give it a farmyard look I added a fence in the background.

Peony Trimmings Window Shaker Scene Card | Studio Katia



Peony Trimmings Window Shaker Scene Card | Studio Katia

Hello, my friends. How are you all doing? I hope you all are hanging in there. I just wanted to let you know that I am thinking of you. Besides going to work, I stay at home with the family and try to distract myself as much as possible by crafting, cleaning, baking, helping the kids with school work... I wish I could just sit and relax but I just can't :(

Today's card was obviously was inspired by our current reality. Most of us are now looking at the world through a window by staying as safe as possible in our homes. I pray we all do our part so that we can be with each other in person again soon.

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I stamped the PEONY TRIMMINGS out and then colored them in using Copic markers. If you follow me on Instagram, you will have seen that I colored the peonies during Kathy Racoosin's last 30-day coloring challenge.

I then used the PEONY TRIMMINGS coordinating dies to cut out the flowers.

Next, I created the shaker window.  I die cut all the pieces form the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 and used most of them to make the window scene. To the center frame, I glued a piece of ACETATE and then added the two inside window frames that I colored with a grey marker.

I then added FOAM TAPE along the edge of the window frame, filled it with SATIN RAINBOW CONFETTI added the cloud-like banners from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 4 to create a curtain-like design and then closed the shaker up with a piece of cardstock that I had blended with some Atelier Inks from Ink On3 to make it look like a sunrise.

To the card panel, I blended out the brick background using the SQUARE BRICK stencil and Iced Spruce Distress Oxide ink. I then glued the shaker window in the center of the card front and glued the scallop frame to the background. I then glued the peonies onto the card front.

To finish the card off I stamped out the thinking of you sentiment from the PEONY TRIMMINGS and then die cut it out using a banner die from the PEONY TRIMMINGS coordinating dies.

I hope you find this card inspiring. Please stay safe and stay home and keep looking out your windows! As a health care worker, that means so much to me as it increases my chances of also staying safe and keeping my family safe.

Thank you for stopping by 😊
