Studio Katia June 2020 Release Blog Hop

Good Morning and welcome to the Studio Katia June 2020 Release Blog Hop!

You should have arrived from my friend Laura Volpes blog!

Once you get all the way to the end of my post I will let you know where the next stop on the hop is, so lets get on with the show.

This release includes 6 New Clear Stamp Sets and 4 Sets of Coordinating Dies, 6 New Stand Alone Creative Dies, 15 New Embellishments and a Studio Katia FIRST 6X6 Paper Set!

We are so excited to introduce our new super trendy Slimline dies! My first card uses the new Dotted Slimline Set 1 dies and Dotted Slimline Set 2 dies. For this card I started by blending a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock using the Studio Katia Blending Brushes and the Ink Splash Stencil with Distress Oxide Inks. I cut the blended panel with the large slimline oval from the Dotted Slimline Set 1. Then I die cut the wonky rectangle from Dotted Slimline Set 2 from black cardstock. A slimline card is usually 8 1/2" x 3 1/2". I cut my card base from white cardstock. I cut a piece 8 1/2" x 7" and scored it on the short side at 3 1/2" and folded to create my card base. The black rectangle leaves just a tiny border around it when you adhere it to the card base.

I stamped the new Craftastic stamp set images and die cut them with the co-ordinating Craftastic die set. I coloured the images with Copic markers, they are so cute!! I created a sentiment uses words from the Craftastic stamp set and stamped it on the oval with black ink. Next I adhered the ink blended slimline oval to the card base on top of the black panel with Studio Katia foam tape. The die, cuts a tiny border around the oval that I adhered directly to the panel around the oval. It creates an interesting effect.

For my second card I used the Dotted Slimline Set 1 dies and Dotted Slimline Set 2 dies once again, just in a different combination. These dies can be mixed and matched, you won't want to miss out on them, definitely a staple in your craft supplies.

This time I used the large stitched rectangle as my background and the pretty scalloped die for the inside die. For this card I started by blending a panel of Bristol Smooth cardstock using the Party Balloons Duo stencil to randomly add balloons to the upper two thirds of the card.

I stamped the new Mini Birthday Cake stamp and cut it out with the Mini Birthday Cake die. I coloured the image with Copic markers and added it to the panel. The sentiment is from the new Happy Celebrations stamp set.
