Christmas Tweetings

Happy last Friday before Christmas! DT Annalisa here and I want to share my favourite Christmas card of the year featuring two adorable birds from the Seasons Tweetings stamp set visiting a lovely Christmas market.

I applied Evergreen Bough and Peacock Feathers Distress Paint to my glass mat and sprayed it with water to create the background panel. I then smooshed a piece of Distress Watercolor cardstock into the paint and heat-set it with my heat tool. I repeated this process a few times for added texture.

Next, I applied Weathered Wood Distress Oxide Spray to the panel, followed by white splatters made with acrylic paint, water, and a paintbrush. Once the panel was dry, I used double-sided tape to adhere it to a card base.

I die-cut several shapes from Distress Watercolor cardstock using the Open The Door Holiday Add-On Die Set. For colouring, I used Distress Watercolor Pencils, water, and a paintbrush to colour the trees (Evergreen Bough, Mowed Lawn), wreaths (Rustic Wilderness, Mowed Lawn), bows, lights, and pots (Picked Raspberry). I added white splatters to the trees and wreaths for additional detail.

I used silver and silver glitter cardstock for the stars, circles, and Christmas ornaments. I assembled the trees, wreaths, and lights, securing them to the card with liquid glue and double-sided tape. To enhance the design, I added a thin strip of patterned paper from the Winter Wonderland Paper Pad 6x6" to the top and bottom of the pots.

I stamped the two birds from Seasons Tweetings, cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e, coloured them with Copic markers, and added highlights with a white gel pen.

Finally, I stamped two sentiments, fussy cut the word "tweetings," and used the smallest rectangle from the Simple Slimline Nesting Dies to cut out "Christmas." I attached these to the card base using double-sided foam tape. To complete the card, I added a white frame that I die-cut with the Smile Inverted Scallop Frame Dies.

Have a Merry Cheesemas!

    Today the last card I share with you on the blog before Christmas. For this inspiration card I used the cute mice from the Merry cheesemas stamp set.

    I colored the stamped images with Copic markers. The color combinations used are shown below.

For this card design I used the stitched circle dies & the scallop circle dies.

    The design paper comes from the Joyful winter paper pad.

    I liked adding some yellow ink to the text bars on one side.

All I want for christmas is...

snow AND crafting goodies ofcourse! 😜

Been having a blast with the new christmas designs, but did not forget about the 'oldie' Snow Much Fun Clear Stamp Set. Because, come on, aren't these fellas the most cutest snowmen you've ever seen?? 

I stamped them and colored them with Copic alcohol markers. I ran them through my die cut machine and set them aside to start working on the background.

I used the Simple Nesting Dies - A6 and die cut a panel out of pink cardstock and one panel out of white cardstock. With the help of a stencil, I made a landscape using distress oxides tattered rose, salvaged patina and peacock feathers. I splattered white acrylic paint for snow. After it dried, I adhered the panels together onto a white card base.

I added my little snowmen with 3D foam tape. For the sentiment I used the Sentiment Cards - Winter Wonderland | Black and combined it with Anthony's Alpha Dies. Made from white glitter cardstock and another set in black just to create a little shadow and make them pop. Adhered those with 3D foam tape as well and that finished my card!

 Hi Tea Timers, welcome back to the blog. Today, I am back to working with the new release and continuing the Christmas inspiration. 

I have been seeing all the fun holiday family photos on social media and thought it would be cute to have the critters in the 'Sweet Christmas' stamp set in polaroids/snapshots.

Sets used:

Sweet Christmas stamp set

Falalala Scalloped Slimline die set

Memory Keeping Essential die set

Pawsome Prints stencil

Sunburst Stencil

Joyful Winter Paper Pad

I firs stamped out my images and then fussy cut them out. The latest release does not have coordinating dies. I then used Copic Markers to color the images. Once completed, I set them to the side to work on the polaroids.

I took the Polaroid die set and die cut it out of white cardstock twice. I then took more cardstock and trimmed it down to fit behind each polaroid.

To create the different backgrounds for each polaroid, I decided to use different stencils.

For the first background, I blended Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide over the background. Then blended Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide over the Sunburst stencil over the blended background.

For my second background, I blended Twisted Citron Distress Oxide over it. I then took the Pawsome Prints stencil and blended Mowed Lawn and Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxides over it.

I adhered the backgrounds behind each polaroid using liquid adhesive. I then added two critters to each polaroid using foam tape.

I took one of the papers from Joyful Winter paper pad and die cut a panel using an A2 die from my stash.

With the Falalala die, I die cut it out of gold cardstock to use as my sentiment.

To assemble my card, I first adhered the polaroids using liquid adhesive and overlapping them onto the panel.

I then completed my card by adding the sentiment onto the bottom of both polaroids using liquid adhesive.

I hope you enjoyed this tutorial today. All of the products I used are linked above. Don't forget to use the code T4TRANDY10 at check out for extra savings. Happy Crafting!

Hello my lovely Tea Timers! Christmas is just around the corner and i’m still working on those xmas cards using the NEW release from Time for Tea Designs. For todays card i’m using the NEW “Santa’s Nice List A6” stamp set from Time For Tea Designs. I think this has to be my favourite from the NEW Christmas release. Its just sooo cute!!!

To create this card I have masked off a round section and also a section to create the snow dunes. For this I just cut a wiggly strip of masking paper and stuck it at the bottom of my circle. I’ve done a little bit of ink blending using the Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky Distress inks from Tim Holtz and my blender brushes. I then used a wet paintbush to add water splashes and some white ink splats.

To colour my image, I stamped him on to Crafters Companion Solar White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them with my Arteza Everblend Markers.

Have A Sweet Christmas

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here today! I used the new Sweet Christmas stamp set from Time For Tea Designs to create a pastel pink Christmas card. I really enjoyed incorporating non-traditional Christmas colours into this project.

To begin, I die-cut Distress White Heavy cardstock by Ranger using the Wonky Window Cover Die. I then ran it through my Big Shot a second time with the Snow Flurry Cover Die, which creates a lovely stitched pattern that I love!

Next, I ink-blended the panel with Saltwater Taffy Distress Oxide and my Beautiful Blender Brushes. After that, I sprayed Sugary Gumdrop Distress Mica Stain onto the panel to add a beautiful shimmer.

I trimmed paper from the Joyful Winter Paper Pad to fit a card base measuring 5 3/4 inches by 4 1/8 inches and adhered it using double-sided tape.

For the pink panel, I applied 1 mm double-sided foam tape to the back before attaching it to the card base.

I stamped and coloured several images from the Sweet Christmas set using Copics and cut them out with the Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e. To add some detail, I used a white gel pen for accents with a Gelly Roll Pen.

I placed the stamped images in the openings of the card using 1 mm double-sided foam tape. I also added sparkles to some images using a Quickie Glue Pen and Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter.

Finally, I stamped the sentiments, cut them out with the A6 Simple Nesting Dies, and adhered them to the card with liquid glue.
