Hi, friends! I’m delighted to be part of Studio Katia’s 2nd Anniversary celebrations! Studio Katia has just released 6 new Clear Stamp Sets and 4 sets of Coordinating Dies, 4 new stand alone Creative Dies, 2 new Stencils and new Embellishments. There has been so much inspiration from the Studio Katia design team on their blog and social media. You’re about to see so much more in this two-day Anniversary Blog Hop!
I made two cards using five of the new products. Both share the same colours but look entirely different. It’s easier and convenient for me to keep creating once I have my colours picked!
This first one features Lovely Blooms, Stitch Borders and Birthday Greetings. I stamped the blooms on watercolour cardstock with black pigment ink and heat embossed the image with clear embossing powder.
Then I watercoloured with distress inks, all of which are listed below. These blooms are absolutely stunning and therapeutic to colour! I’m pretty sure these will end up on loads of cards.
To create the background, I used all four of the greens I used for the foliage and smooshed them on to a large acrylic block, misted the ink and smooshed the block on to a panel of watercolour cardstock.
After the panel dried, I used the largest of the Stitch Borders dies and die cut two rows at both ends of the panel. To finish, I heat embossed a sentiment from Birthday Greetings, one which fit nicely into the little nook created by the blooms.
My second card features the Kobi Bearing Gifts stamp set and coordinating dies. As I mentioned earlier, I heat embossed the images and watercoloured them with distress inks.
Then I used the same colours and sponge daubers with the Bubbles Stencil to create the background, which was die cut with the Dotted Patterns – Set 1 die set.
I sponged around the top left- and bottom-right corners of the card base using the same six colours before adhering the popped up frame and inside panel.
I also added adorable and super shiny Crystal Stars Sequins to the ground to anchor Kobi.
Here’s the full hop list for today:

LOVE both of these cards! So beautiful and creative! And it was so neat to see how you chose to pop out only some of the holes from the cross stitch die – that is such a clever way to really stretch the life of the die beyond cross stitching! Thank you for sharing š
