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:

Wonderful cards, thanks for sharing.
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 :)

THE card is awesome!
Such different cards and both so fabulous! Love the colouring of the flowers on your first card, and the fun Bubbles stencil and cute bear on the second one!

Emily I really enjoyed both your cards. the bubles on the backgound of the bear card were so cute-Ilove the way the were on the frame as well as the back of the shaker portion.
Great cards, Emily. I really like how you used the stitched borders die. I didn't think I needed that one but maybe...
Beautiful and cute. I like the backgrounds.
I love these new products from Studio Katia! Thanks for sharing your pretty cards. I especially love the shaker card.
Love the way those flowers look against the green background. So very pretty! Lovely Blooms is my favorite new set!
Oh those flowers look so pretty on the green background! I love the way you die cut the stitched border dies. Kobi looks adorable with all his brightly colored presents and the bubbles in the background. How fun!
Wow! Love your gorgeous cards!!!
You've made great backgrounds on these cards with as much to see as the foreground. Love Mr Kobi Bear so much, does he have a face in other sets do you know ? All the colours you've used make his card really pop x
Wonderful cards I love how you made the backgrounds add depth and interest to your cards!
Your cards are both stunning. Love all the fun little elements you included in both cards to give such nice finishing touches. Love the way you coloured both of your cards, they are both fabulous.
Fantastic cards! I am so in love with that adorable new Kobi Bear stamp!!!

Your cards are lovely. I really like to colour choices and not popping out all the circles in the Stitched Border die has a very neat effect.

Beautiful cards :) The second one is so fun!!
Your floral card is amazing!
These cards are great! I really like the fun background on the first card. It is very interesting to look at with only some of the holes open to the black background.
