Studio Katia 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop

Hi friends!

Today I’m honored to join Studio Katia 2nd Anniversary Blog Hop.  The Studio Katia May 2018 release includes 6 new Clear Stamp Sets and 4 sets of Coordinating Dies, 4 new stand alone Creative Dies, 2 new Stencils and new Embellishments.

I’d been on the design team of this company from when it was a couple months old and cannot believe it’s already two years. I wish Katia and all the team to run smoothly and bring more wonderful products and inspiration.

You probably came from my dear friend May Sukyong Park  blog. If not – you may consider starting from the beginning at Studio Katia blog.

LOVELY BLOOMS

For my first card I used extremely beautiful Lovely Blooms Stamp Set. I adore Studio Katia blooms and this one is no exception.

I stamped the bouquet onto a watercolor panel and colored it using Arteza Watercolor markers. I added several white spray splatters to bring some interest (and simply because I add splatters on every single card lol).

Next I die-cut a panel using a dotted rectangle die from Darling Ribbon And Dotted Frames Die Set and foam mounted it onto a white card base.

I white embossed a sentiment from Spring Bouquet Stamp Set and popped it up onto the panel.

Lastly I added several Snow Crystals.

KOBI BEARING GIFTS

Studio Katia has a stamp series with an adorable Kobi bear. This time Kobi is bearing a gift pile. I couldn’t resist making a card with this set and my color combo of choice this time was gray and red.

First I colored the Kobi and several balloons (from the same set) with COPICs and then die-cut them with the matching dies. I added some white gel pen accents to the colored images too.

Next I made a squared card base and blended some Hickory Smoke Distress Oxide onto it. I made two balloon clusters and “hung” them from the top part of the card base.  Then I die-cut a fancy square using a die from Dotted Patterns Fancy Square Die Set out of white cardstock. This die also die-cuts a fine frame, which I colored in red using a red COPIC. Then I adhered the square along with the frame onto the card. And foam mounted the Kobi in the middle.

On this point I realized that I didn’t think through the sentiment placement (my typical mistake). Finally decided to add it to one balloon. I stamped it in black and them added shadows of white gel pen.

Lastly I added a placer of red satin confetti I picked from  Satin Rainbow Confetti.
