Merry and Bright Christmas Lights Card | Studio Katia

Hello friends and Happy Wednesday!

Have you all started decorating for Christmas yet? I haven't yet, but with all the snow we have been getting recently it is starting to look like a winter wonderland outside and it's making me want to put up the tree! 

Anyways, let's talk about today's fun festive card. This card features the new Christmas Light Set from Studio Katia's last release. 

CARD RECIPE

I kept this card super simple and one layer. 

• Stamp the string of lights to stamp across the panel as shown below leaving space for the sentiment. Use Copic-friendly ink. There is a coordinating die set if you want to add extra dimension to this card that you could use.
• Use a small ink-blending brush to blend rainbow-ordered ink circles onto each light. 
• Color in the light bulbs with coordinating Copic colored markers. 

• Add white gel pen highlights to the bulbs.
• For a little sparkle, I added glue to the string of lights in various spots.
• Before the glue dries, sprinkle on Chucky Sparkle Glitter.

• To embellish the card front even more I added a few Clay Rainbow Stars.
• Glue panel onto an A2 Card base and voila, super simple Christmas Card!

I hope you were inspired by this festive and bright Christmas Lights Card. I think this would be a fun and easy enough design to mass-produce for the Holidays.

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

Floral Frenzy Cards | Spellbinders | Floral Reflection Collection

Hello friends! 

There is a gorgeous new collection from Spellbinders available now and if you love florals this one is calling your name. The Floral Refection Collection is so pretty and so versatile as I will show you with my card examples today.

CARD RECIPE

First of all, let's talk about this new 3D embossing folder! Just look at the gorgeous floral detail. Alone as a background it is beautiful. For this birthday card, I paired it with a vellum heart from the new Essential Heart Etched Die set with the Floral Reflection Etched Dies. To make this a birthday card I just added the sentiment from the Floral Reflection Sentiment set, but honestly, it could be used for any occasion.

Here is another example. This time the sentiment is a bit vague but I turned it into a wedding card just by adding a little piece of tule behind the die-cut heart.

Again I used the flowers from the Floral Reflection Etched Dies without the base stems and created a loose arrangement along the edge of the heart that I then added to the 3D Flower Frenzy Embossed Background.

This final card could be used for any occasion. To make the embossed areas pop even more I used white pigment ink over the raised areas. I then die cut the Floral Reflection Etched dies from white cardstock and finished just the centers of the flowers to reduce some layers.

To the center, I added a sentiment from the Floral Reflection Stamp set that I die cut with a coordinating die.

I hope these simple yet beautiful cards inspired you. This Floral Reflection Collection release is timeless and could be very useful for all-year-round cardmaking. 

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

CARD RECIPE

Here is how this card came together.

• I began by ink-blending the rainbow using the Hill Stencil and rotating it to create the vertical waves. I then used black ink to darken the edges of the sky.
• To add more detail to the background, I splattered water to lift some of the ink and also splattered Bee Shimmery Liquid for extra sparkle. 
• I then used a Snow Stencil and added white paste and then also added white gel pen dots for more snow.
• To the bottom of the panel, I used the same Hill Stencil to add a layer of glimmer paste for the snowy hill.

• These darling stamps come from the Polar Pals Stamp set. I stamped the image out using Bee Creative Intense Black Ink and then colored them in with Copic markers. I then used the coordinating dies to die-cut the images.
• I used foam dots to pop them up and added them to the background.
• I then stamped out the sentiments onto black paper using Bee Creative Brilliant White Ink Pad and heat setting it with white embossing powder. 
• To make the sentiment stand out a little more, rather than using foam I die-cut the coordinating die 3 times and stacked them together.

• Finally, I finished off the card by adding a little heart between the two critters and added a bunch of Aurora Borealis Gem Stickers to the sky.

I hope you got some inspiration from this fun Rainbow Northern Lights Card. Stay tuned to my Instagram as I will share a reel on how this card came together. 

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