Summer panda with Kaja

Hi all,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I made a cute little birthday card featuring a little panda.

Take a look:

I started off the card by creating the stenciled background for which I used Beach scene builder stencil. I decided to go with three shares of blue which make a cute little ocean like look.

Next, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from the Love is in the air stamp set which I colored in using alcohol markers. I decided to go with the colors that are a bit that are not too bold, so the background pops out nicely. 

Once everything was colored in, I added some white gel pen details that bring the images to life.

To bring the card together, I cut the stenciled piece to be slightly smaller than the card base and added a white rectangle that I cut out with the Stitched hearts cover die.

The last thing that I had to add was the sentiment that reads 'it's your birthday' and can be found in Beach buds stamp set. I stamped it in black ink on white cardstock and then used a brown alcohol marker to color in the background, so it now matches perfectly with the basket that the panda is in.

Then, I just glued everything on a card base using double sided foam squares and liquid glue and the card was all finished.

Hugs,

Kaja

Beach birthday with Kaja

Hi all,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I am back with a cute summer card!

Take a look:

This time, I started off the card by creating the stenciled background for which I used Beach scene builder stencil. I decided to go with traditional beach colors, so I used brown for the sand and green and brown for the palm.

Next, I stamped and colored a bunch of images from the Beach buds stamp set which I colored in using alcohol markers. I decided to go with the colors that are a bit that are not too bold, so the background pops out nicely. 

Once everything was colored in, I added some white gel pen details to both the stamped images and the stenciled background.

To bring the card together, I cut the focal image to be slightly smaller than the card base and added a piece of blue patterned paper from the Sweet summer paper pad.

The last thing that I had to add was the sentiment that reads 'it's your birthday' and can be found in Beach buds stamp set.

Then, I just glued everything on a card base using double sided foam squares and liquid glue and the card was all finished.

Hugs,

Kaja

Wavy celebration with Kaja

 Hi all,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I am back with an adorable card that can be used for any celebration.

Take a look:

This time, I knew that I wanted to make a summer card, so I started off by creating the background. For it, I used distress inks with which I watercolored directly on a piece of a watercolor card stock that is slightly smaller than my card base. 

To make the waves a tiny bit more realistic, I added some white gel pen details. I used the same pen to then create a stitched border around the outside edge of the panel.

Next, I stamped out a bunch of images from the Beach buds stamp set which I colored in using alcohol markers. I decided to go with the colors that are a bit more neutral, so the background really pops out.

Even though I wanted the focus on the background, I still found it a bit too busy, so I die cut a rectangle and two hearts from white cardstock using dies from the Stitched hearts cover die set. 

The last thing that I had to add was the sentiment that reads 'let's shellebrate' and can be found in Beach buds stamp set.

Then, I just glued everything on a card base using double sided foam squares and liquid glue and the card was all finished.

Hugs,

Kaja

Colorful foxes with Kaja

Hi all,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I am back with a bright and adorable birthday card!

Take a look:

This time around, I wanted to make a bold card for my nephew that just loves anything colorful. I started off by stamping two cute little foxes from Birthday fox stamp set. 

Since I know I wanted to use bold colores, I decided to go with a gray color for foxes and use more color with other images and the background.

Next, I die cut two rectangles from the A2 Stitched hearts cover die from white cardstock that I will use as a cover for my card.

Then, I cut down a piece of yellow and red colorful paper from the Sweet summer paper pad. I trimmed it down to be the same size as my card base and positioned it behind the white panel, so it nicely peeks out the rectangles.

I stamped out the sentiment from Birthday fox in black ink and this time I decided to go with a simple 'Happy birthday'.

I glued everything on the square card base using double sided foam squares and liquid glue.

Hugs,

Kaja

Summer birthday with Kaja

Hi all,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I am back with an adorable card that was inspired by the heat wave that we had in Slovenia last week. It really felt like it was already summer!

Take a look:

I love summer and I knew that I wanted to create a subtile sea in the background, so I started by inkblending some blues and greens into a piece of white cardstock. Once it was all nicely blended, I took the hearts from the A2 Stitched hearts cover die and die cut 4.

To add the wavy effect, I added some white gel waves with the help of Beach scene builder stencil that I used as a guide.

Next, I stamped out and colored a bunch of images from the Beach buds stamp set. I made sure that I used the colors that I knew would nicely coordinate with the blues in the background.

Then, I cut down a piece of striped paper from the Sweet summer paper pad. I trimmed it down to be the same size as my card base. To create a focal point, I used a slightly smaller rectangle, on which I glued down the hearts.

I stamped out the sentiment from Beach buds stamp set in black ink on a piece opf gray cardstock and this time I decided to go with a simple 'It's your birthday'.

I glued everything on the square card base using double sided foam squares and liquid glue.

Hugs,

Kaja

Celebration withxes and Kaja

 Hi all,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I am back with an adorable card with two little foxes!

Take a look:

I don't know about you, but I just love adorable little critters, so I decided to color two cure little foxes from Birthday fox stamp set. 

I decided to go with a traditional orange color in combination with gray and small white gel pen details. Since this is a celebration card, I added a cute little balloon that I colored in with green.

To create the background I used a Stitched hearts cover die and a piece of white cardstock. I wanted to have a bright scene, so I decided to create the center of the card using a rectange die from the same die set, but I used patterned paper from Brighter days paper pack instead of a normal cardstock.

Next, I added the sentiment from the same Birthday fox stamp set that reads 'let's celebrate'. I used black ink and stamp it out at the bottom of my little scene.

The last thing I did, was that I glued everything on a card base using double sided foam squares and liquid glue.

Hugs,

Kaja

Birthday bunny with Kaja

 Hi all,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I am back with another cute birthday card!

Take a look:

This time, I started off the card by creating masked rectangles at the top of my card base using post it note stickies. You could use a stencil for this, but I wanted to have some some random shapes instead of a standard shape forms.

I went with a simple grass and sky look for which I used Bundled sage and Tumbled glass distress inks. 

Once the background was done, I removed the masks and started stamping out the images I wanted to use on the card.

I went all in on the images, so I used 4 stamp sets: Warm hugs, Love is in the air, Llama tell you and Eggstra special birthday. I colored everything in using alcohol markers and to add a special touch, I used a white gel pen.

Next, I added the sentiment from the Warm hugs stamp set that reads 'it's your birthday you deserve a treat'. I used black ink and stamp it out at the bottom of my little scene.

The last thing I did, was that I glued everything on a card base using double sided foam squares and liquid glue.

Hugs,

Kaja

Eggstra special Easter with Kaja

Hi all,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I wanted to wish you all an eggstra special Easter!

Take a look at my card:

I started off this card by creating the background and this time, I decided to go with a simple egg pattern. I stamped out a bunch of eggs from Eggstra special birthday stamp set that I colored in using watercolor markers. I made sure that I used brightful colors, so the card is looking cheerful and fun.

Once the eggs were stamped out and colored, I added some details with white gel pen.

I used the same technique for the bunny that can also be found in the Eggstra special birthday stamp set. For the bunny I went with gray and I colored the cheeks and ears in with pink that matches the eggs.

Next, I positioned the bunny in the center of my background and added the sentiment from the same stamp set that reads 'have an eggstra special Easter'.

I added some blue and gray cardstock to the card, so it all matches nicely with the colors I used for the eggs and bunny.

The last thing I did, was that I glued everything on a card base using double sided foam squares and liquid glue.

Hugs,

Kaja

Birthday llama with Kaja

Hi all,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I am showcasing a cute and simple card that features an adorable little llame.

Take a look:

First thing I did when making this card, was to cut out a piece of kraft cardstock and stamp background images of mountains and clouds. I used brown ink to try to blend the images a bit better with the cardstock. 

Next, I stamped out the llama from the same stamp set called Llama tell you, but this time I used white cardstock and black ink. 

I colored the llama in using alcohol markers and since I wanted to have a bit of a contrast, I used orange tones for it.

Next, I cut down a piece of green paper with clouds from the Brighter days paper pad. I trimmed it down to be slightly bigger than the kraft cardstock piece.

I stamped out the sentiment in the same brown ink and this time I decided to go with a simple 'happy birthday'.

I glued everything on the square card base using double sided foam squares and liquid glue.

Hugs,

Kaja

Warm coffee with Kaja

 Hi all,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I am showcasing a card that is simple to make, but it's super adorable at the same time!

Take a look:

I started out the card by stamping the cat and five coffee beans from the Warm hugs stamp set. Next, I colored the images in using alcohol markers and this time around, I decided to go with a no-blended look, which means that I only used one marker and didn't blend it.

I decided to use soft colors, so I used grays and browns. Then, I finished the coloring off, by adding some white gel pen details.

Next, I cut down a piece of blue paper with clouds from the Brighter days paper pad. I trimmed it down to be slightly smaller than my square card base.

I stamped out the sentiment in black ink that reads 'You warm my heart' that can be found in Warm hugs stamp set. I used gray paper which I positioned to the left part of the card base.

I glued everything on the square card base using double sided foam squares and liquid glue.

Hugs,

Kaja

Llama tell you with Kaja

Hi all,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I am showcasing a card with the most adorable llamas out there!

Take a look:

This time, I started creating the card by stamping out the cute little images from Llama tell you stamp set.  I inked and stamped two llamas, two hills and a sombrero, which I then all colored in using alcohol markers.

I decided to use soft colors, so I used pastel green for the hills and soft brown for the lammas. I didn't want both llamas to look exactly the same, so I colored them a bit differently.

I finished the coloring off, by adding some white gel pen details.

Then, I stamped out the sentiment in black ink that reads 'llama telll you it's your birhtday' that can be found in Llama tell you stamp set. I used white paper which I positioned to the top part of the card base.

To make sure that the llamas really pop out of the card, I added some patterned paper at the top and the bottom of the card. I used the rainbow paper from the Brighter days paper pad.

I glued everything on the horizontal card base using double sided foam squares and liquid glue.

Hugs,

Kaja

Cozy sloth card with Kaja

Hi all,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I am back with a cute and colorful card.

Take a look:

I started out by creating the background for which I used the Wonky background stencil along with two colors of ink - blue and green. I alternated the colors so the background looks bright and fun. To add some additional focal point, I added some blue and white splatters.

When I was doing this, I made sure that the stencil is as centered as possible, so the card will have a focal point directly in the center.

Next, I stamped and colored the cute little sloth from the brand new Warm hugs stamp set. I colored it in using alcohol markers. For the cup I used yellow and red and for the sloth I went with a simple brown marker.

I finished the coloring off, by adding some white gel pen details.

Then, I stamped out the sentiment in black ink that reads 'you warm my heart' and can be found in Warm hugs stamp set. I positioned it to the top left part of the card base.

To make sure that the sloth stands out enough, I added a piece of vellum that I tore by hand and positioned it between the ink blended background and the sloth.

I glued everything on the card base using double sided foam squares and liquid glue.

Hugs,

Kaja

Bunny birthday card with Kaja

Hi there,

It's Kaja from Kajcyika crafts and today I am sharing my very first card as a part of the Time for tea design team! 

For this special occasion I decided to make a sweet and colorful card. This is what I came up with:

First, I stamped out a bunny image from Eggstra special birthday stamp set along with a bunny holding a cup and a spoon from Warm hugs set. To be able to create a little scene, I then stamped out two clouds from Love is in the air stamp set.

I colored everything in using alcohol markers. I used gray for the bunnies, brown for the spoon and the foam and then I added yellow and green for the cup.

For the background I decided to make a grassy hill using green ink that I decorated with some grass which I made using green alcohol marker. Then, I added blue ink-blended sky and some blue splatters to bring everything together.

I finished the scene off by adding the sentiment that reads 'it's your birthday you deserve a treat' that you can find in Warm hugs stamp set.

The card was almost finished, the only thing I added was a piece of rainbow paper from Brighter days paper pad. I cut it to be slightly smaller than the card base.

Then, I glued everything together on a gray card front and this cute bunny birthday card was all finished!

Thank you so much for joining me! Hope to see you again next time!

Hugs,

Kaja
