Studio Katia May 2018 Release and 2nd Birthday Anniversary Blog Hop + GIVEAWAY

Hello everyone! It's time for the Blog Hop celebrating Studio Katia new release and 2nd Birthday! This release includes 6 new clear stamp sets and 4 coordinating dies, 4 new stand alone Creative Dies, 2 stencils and new embellishments!


 To celebrate our new Release I decided to make a shaker card with brand new Under the Sea stamp set!


 CARD DETAILS:

 I've started by stamping a few images from the set and colored them with Copic markers and also die cut with coordinating dies. 


For my background, I blended some mint, light blue and orange inks onto white paper and spllattered it with clean water. When it was dry, I splattered it again with the same inks. 




Next, I created a shaker window using die from Dotted Patterns: Scallop Square | Creative Dies set and filled the shaker with 3M Crystal SequinsRadiant Pineapple Fusion and Enchanted Sea Fusion sequins. I also added light blue panel on top of my shaker base, that I die cut with one of Dotted Patterns: Simple Borders | Creative Dies set and stamped the sentiment with black inks on top of my shaker base.


 Next, I foam mounted the images on my card and my card is complete!

Studio Katia New Release Preview Day 3


Hello everyone! This week is Studio Katia new release week !!! The release will be available to purchase on Friday 25th. 




I made a shaker card with brand new Lovely Blooms stamp for Preview Day 3.



 First, I stamped the flowers with clear embossing ink on watercolor paper and heat embossed it with metallic embossing powder. 



Next, I watercolored the images with muted pink and coral paints for the flowers and sepia paint for the leaves and splattered it with some of the leftover paint and also with a solution of Perfect Pearls. 




Once my coloring was done, I’ve added more shades with my colored pencils. Next, I die cut a shaker window out of my watercolored panel using brand new Scallop Window die and put my shaker together with foam tape adding sequins.



 For more inspiration and info on the new release then head on over to the Studio Katia Blog

This week is also Studio Katia’s 2nd Birthday so make sure you check out the HUGE blog hop that will be happening on the 25th & 26th. 



Thank you so much for stopping by and have a great day!

Simon Says Stamp May 2018 Release - Sending Sunshine

Hello everyone! It's a New Release day at Simon Says Stamp and this time is called Sending Sunshine collection!





 I want to show you my card featuring brand new "You are My Sunshine" wafer dies.


 First, I stamped the center image of "Center Cut Burst" background stamp with clear embossing inks onto watercolor paper and then white heat embossed.Then I wet my paper and slightly colored the background with some peachy orange and beige paints.


Once my background was dry I splattered it with the same colors and also splattered it with gold paint. Next, I die cut the sentiment "You are My Sunshine" from new Sending Sunshine release a few times and adhered them all together with gold die cut.


 At last, I foam mounted my watercolor panel on top of Neenah Desert Storm card base and finished my card with sparkling sequins!




Hope you liked my card and have a great day!

Altenew Build-A-Flower: Morning Glory Release + GIVEAWAY



Hello everyone! Today I have two cards to share using the new Build-A-Flower Morning Glory stamp set from Altenew. 


Altenew have a special release of a Build-A-Flower Set every month and this month it’s the turn of the Morning Glory.

For my first card I stamped the flowers and the leaves with Morning Frost Altenew inks on a piece of white paper. 



Next, I colored the images with my Polychromos pencils, to make the flowers more realistic. 



When my coloring was done, I blended Frayed Leaf Altenew inks on my panel and stamped some branches and leaves with the same inks and added clear sequins to finished my card.





For my second card I blended Ocean Waves Altenew inks in the corners of white panel. 

For the flowers I used Frosty Pink, then Coral Berry and Ruby Red. I do not use other layers of the flower to make my flower soft look. I used Frayed Leaf and Forest Glades for the leaves. 


 I decide to add two branches from Forever And Always and Wings of Hope stamp sets on my card for more intersting look. I used Altenew Golden Peach Crisp embossing powder for gold heat embossed brunch and die cutting with ccordinating die. Next, I foam mounted the flowers on top of my panel and added clear sequins to finished my card.


Prizes:
To celebrate this release, Altenew is giving away a $30 gift certificate to six lucky winners! Please leave a comment on the Altenew Card Blog and/or Altenew Scrapbook Blog for a chance to win.
