Hello all! I want to say a big Happy Birthday to Studio Katia! Today I’m a part of a blog hop for Studio Katia to celebrate and to share some of the NEW, beautiful products!

It’s no secret that I’m a big fan of all things Studio Katia….the products are all so fabulous, and have you seen the sequins, shaker bits, and shiny mixes?! Wow!

Today, I wanted to make a birthday card (or two…LOL) for Katia! Here’s my first one:

This is a bit dramatic, with the black card panel! But I wanted to show off those GORGEOUS Silver Crystals…aren’t they fun?! And so elegant. They are even more impressive in real life! I Copic colored this Japanese Peony in my current color obsession (BG45, BG49, BG09, N5)! Then I put the flower BACK INTO the MISTI and stamped over just the middle portion with some Versamark ink so I could add that SILVER embossing powder in the center.

The sentiment is from Birthday Greetings…and there are all kinds of awesome sentiments in this set! I really love that she included sentiments for CRAFTY FRIENDS!!

My next card is another birthday card, and this time it’s Pretty in Pink:

This features the new beautiful Lovely Blooms stamp set. Isn’t it fabulous?!? Oh my gosh….I’m in love with this set. I watercolored using my Zig Clean Color Real Brush Markers. For the background, I simply painted the pink stripes and let them dry before popping up the Lovely Blooms on top with foam tape. Those gems are from the Spring Gems collection.

For my last card today, I used the Lovely Blooms set again, but this time heat embossed it in Gold and watercolored with Daniel Smith Watercolors. I also used the Scallop Window Shaker Die on this one for a fun Peek-A-Boo surprise!

The stars are the beautiful Crystal Stars, and the jewels on the outside are the gorgeous April Crystals. I’m still on the fence about the paint splatters. You know how you think of an idea and it turns out not quite what you wanted? Well, just maybe that happened here. Lol.

But those flowers are so fun to use…and so many different ways to show them off! The Make A Wish sentiment is from the Birthday Greetings set.
