Rainbow Foiled Roses Mini Slimline Card and Tag | Studio Katia

Hello friends and happy Saturday!

Have you had a chance to check out Studio Katia's latest release? There are so many new pretty stamps, dies, bling, tools, and all-new Hot Foil plates! If you do and decide to shop there is a May Release Special, Save 20% on new products use code MAY20 at the checkout.

I was super excited to try out the hot foil plates. With these plates, you need to have a hot foil system to be able to foil the design onto the paper. And, if you know me I had to use Rainbow Glimmer Foil.

CARD RECIPE

So to begin I foiled the Roses Hot Foil Plate using the Rainbow Glimmer Foil. I then die-cut the images using the coordinating Spring Roses Dies. Set these pieces aside to work on the card and the tag.

For both the card and the tag I used the Mini Slimline Set One dies. The pattern paper comes from the Black, White, and Rainbow Paper Panels.

I then used foam tape to add the scallop layer to the mini slimline card base. For the sentiment, I used a stamp from the Cone Bouquet set, that I stamped and heat embossed in white on black cardstock. 

For the tag, I used a sentiment that comes from the Gift Tag Greeting: Winter set. I just trimmed it down and added it to a black shadow layer.

To finish I just sprinkled on some pearls for more bling!

If you love foiling, I think you will love this Roses Hot Foil Plate. 

Thank you for stopping by, have a wonderful weekend, and until next time... Happy Crafting!

Mini Slimline Balloon Birthday Shaker and Floral Cards | Crafty Meraki

Hello again! I am back once again today to share with you a few cards I made to help celebrate Crafty Meraki's Second Anniversary! 

Join me over on Instagram as I am super excited to participate in the Crafty Meraki IG Anniversary Hop. ONE lucky winner will win the FULL RELEASE BUNDLE 💃🏻🎉 and ONE additional winner will win 💵 $100 gift card to redeem towards Crafty Meraki Products!! 

Since it is their birthday I thought a birthday shaker would be fun to make. This mini slimline frameless shaker features the new Party Balloons Mini Slimline Meraki Para-dies that I paired with the sentiments from the Birthday Slimline Tag.

If you are curious about how this shaker was assembled, click HERE for a video I made a while ago. To create the background there was a lot of paper piecing happening here. I die cut the Party Balloons Mini Slimline Meraki Para-dies 3 times, one white layer and two black layers. For the white layer, I ink blended all the balloon colors using distress oxide inks. I then sandwiched the white layer between the two black ones. For the top black layer, I snipped the inside out just using the black frame. 

For the next two cards, I kept them super simple and just focused on the flowers. I sometimes like to keep the sentiments off the card until I am ready to send it to someone. This way they are more versatile. Both finished cards are 5X7s.  

To create this first one I used masking tape to block off a frame, and then added the ink blended grass and sky. Next, I die cut and pieced together the June Meraki Fora Para-Dies.

I then added the Meraki Sparkle Prismatic Green Crystals. To the centers, I also added some tiny beads.

This next card features the Madison Meraki Flora Para-Dies. The fun part about these dies is the cut lines in the flowers. They allow you to easily do some masking for ink blending, which is awesome if you want to use more than one color. I just slipped post-it paper in the cut lines and then blended.

You can see on the left flower my masking wasn't perfect, but I learned from my mistakes when I blended the one on the right. 

To finish up this card I added some Meraki Sparkle Prismatic Blue Crystals, even though they are blue they reflect a lot of purples.

I hope these Merakiversary Cards inspire you today. Happy 2nd Birthday Crafty Meraki, and thank you for inviting me to join you on your special day. To join the Hop click HERE.

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

Hello Poppy Card | Honey Bee Stamps

***Please note links in the post are no longer active, if you are looking for something specific use this link here to 👉 HONEY BEE STAMPS and search for the product listed. My apologies for the inconvenience ***

Happy Monday friends,

Today's card features the pretty poppies from the Lovely Layers: Wildflowers Dies. As you may know from previous cards, the Lovely Layers Die Collection has to be my favorite from Honey Bee Stamps. This card could be used for any occasion but I also think it would make a great Remembrance Day Card.

CARD RECIPE

• Die-cut 2 of each of the Poppy flowers using colored cardstock.
• Piece flowers together. Add ink blending to add shading and foam in between layers for dimension.
• To the centers, I added glue and sprinkled black microbeads. Set flowers aside to work on the background.
• For the background, add the foiled dots to the background by using the Ombre Dots | A2 Hot Foil Plate with Brass Foil on the Hot Foil System.
• Use the Sweet Stacks Mini Slimline Dies to cut the background panel for the mini slimline card.
• To create the slope, I die cut the hill from Horizon Slimline Borders then again using the same frame from the Sweet Stacks Mini Slimline Dies.
• Stamp the Hello from Grandma's Garden stamp set on the hill panel using white ink and embossing powder.
• Glue the foiled panel onto the slimline card base and piece together the card.

Here's a close of the poppies and the foiled background. I absolutely love how the little microbead centers turned out. It's all about the details!

I hope this pretty Poppy Slimline card inspires you. Thank you for stopping by and until next time... Happy Crafting!
