A Sparkly and Bright Merry Christmas Slimline Card | Studio Katia

Happy Monday Friends.

How fun would it be if the snow was all the colors of the rainbow? What a magical place it would be. A rainbow lover's dream for sure!

Anywho, let's get on with how this pretty Sparkly card came together. 

CARD DETAILS

To begin, I die cut the background panel using the larger frame from the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 1. I then used the INK BLENDER BRUSHES to blend out the rainbow colors using the CONFETTI STENCIL and Distress Oxide Inks. It's difficult to see from the pictures but I also stamped out a large SNOWFLAKE on the panel that I heat embossed in white.

The cute snowman comes from the HAPPY SNOWMEN that was colored using Copics and then die cut with the coordinating HAPPY SNOWMEN DIES. The Trees in the scene come from the WINTER KOBI set that I also colored with Copics and die cut with the coordinating WINTER KOBI DIES.

To create the sparkly hills, I used the TRIMMINGS BORDERS CREATIVE DIES and just extended the wave by lining up the end of the cut with the die again to fit the slimline format. I then die cut the hill piece with the DOTTED SLIMLINE - SET 1 to create the same finished edge along the bottom of the panel. To add the sparkly detail, I used an old paintbrush and loaded it with STUDIO KATIA GLUE and then painted the hills with it. I then poured the CHUNKY SPARKLE GLITTER over the wet glue and pressed it in place with a piece of scrap paper. Once it was dry I glued it onto the background panel.

For the sentiment, I stamped the Merry from the POINSETTIA BORDER on the top right-hand side of the panel and then stamped the Christmas in white onto black cardstock. I then used a small banner die from the PEONY TRIMMINGS DIES to layer on to the Merry.

For a finishing touch of more sparkle, I added some IRIDESCENT STARS to the rainbow sky.

I hope this Sparkly and Bright Christmas Card inspired you today. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Christmas Gift Card Tag | 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 - Day 21 | Studio Katia

Hello friends and Happy Saturday.

Welcome to Day 21 of Tracey McNeely's 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 For those of you that love to make tags this event is for you so make sure you check it out over on Tracey's Blog. There are lots of prizes and giveaways from all the Sponsors.

Today I will be sharing a Christmas Gift Tag featuring products from Studio Katia which happens to be today's Sponsor for the event.

TAG DETAILS

To begin, I die cut two of the tags from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 1, one for the front of the tag and one for the backside.

To the front tag, I stamped a random pattern using the SNOWFLAKES stamps and then heat embossed them in Silver. 

Next, I stamped out this cute snowman from the HAPPY SNOWMEN set, colored it in using Copics, and then die-cut him using the coordinating HAPPY SNOWMEN DIES.

I then stamped out the sentiment from the GIFT TAG GREETINGS: WINTER onto black cardstock using my new favorite white ink and then heat set it using white emb. pwd. 

To finish off the front of the tag I then embellished it using some ARCTIC BREEZE PEARLS. At this point, you could stop as the front is complete, but I wanted to take this one step further and turn the tag into a gift card holder as well.

Now for the back part of the tag... using the other panel I previously die-cut from the DOTTED PATTERNS SET 1 I ran the die-cut again through the die machine this time to create an opening to slide the gift card through with the coordinating dotted die. 

Next, I stamped out the to and the from with the lines using the GIFT TAG GREETINGS: WINTER stamp set. 

The last step is to glue both layers of the tag together, ensuring no adhesive gets into any area that the gift card is to slide through. 

Make sure to stop by Tracey's Blog for all the details on her 25 Days of Christmas Tags 2020 Event. Here is a list of all the Sponsors from this year. 

I hope you got some inspiration from this simple Christmas Gift Card Tag.  

Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
