Ahoy! Sea You Soon

Happy Friday, Annalisa here! I wish I were on the sea like these two friends—it's one of my favourite places to be! Today's card features the Boat Buddies stamp set.

To create the card, I first inked the front of an A2 card base with Spiced Marmalade Oxide using my Beautiful Blender Brushes. Then, I painted horizontal lines on a piece of watercolour paper with blue watercolour and added white splatters for texture.

Next, I applied Spiced Marmalade Paint and Cocktail Party Mica Stain to another piece of watercolour paper. Once it dried, I used Anthony's Alpha Dies to cut out the letters "ahoy!" I also cut the same letters two more times from white cardstock and adhered them behind the orange letters with liquid glue for added dimension.

I stamped several images from the Boat Buddies stamp set, coloured them with Copic markers, and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I added accents with a white gel pen using a Gelly Roll Pen. The cloud image is from the Adventure Awaits stamp set.

Finally, I used glue and double-sided foam tape to attach the stamped elements and die-cut letters to the card base.

Spooky Pumpkins

Halloween is next week, so I am finishing my spooky card series with a cute purple card. Once again, I used the versatile Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection. I paired this with two die sets and enamel dots from Time For Tea Designs.

For the background, I ink-blended spun sugar, shaded lilac and villainous potion Distress Oxides with my Beautiful Blender Brushes. I added black and silver metallic watercolour splatter with water and a paintbrush. I used double-sided tape to adhere the panel to an A2 card base.

I die-cut Neenah Metalic Chalice Silver cardstock with the Zig Zag Frame & Tag Dies and used double-sided tape to stick it to the card.

I used Anthony's Alpha Dies to die-cut the letters 'BOO' from cardstock that I had coloured with twisted citron Distress Paint that I watered down. I love the bright green backgrounds you can create with Distress paint. I die-cut the same letters from black card stock and used liquid glue to stick them together with the black offset slightly to create a shadow effect.

I stamped "Trick Or Treat" from the Spooky Circle Tags clear stamp set (2021), along with leaves from Jumping With Joy and Stinkin’ Cute. I printed the pumpkins and kitty from the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection and cut out the images with my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e.

I coloured the images with Copics and added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. I adhered the image, letters and sentiments to the card base using liquid glue or double-sided foam tape for dimension.

I added Designer Enamel Dots from the Summer Haze collection, to complete the card.

One In A Melon

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here sharing a colourful fruit-filled card I created using the new Fruitful Friends stamp set and coordinating dies. I combined these with the Slimline Postage Stamp Frame Dies that are on a super Summer SALE until August 18th!

I used Tim Holtz Distress Sugary Gumdrop Mica Stain, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Sprays on water-coloured cardstock. I love the shine the mica stain gives! Once the panel was dry, I trimmed it to 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches and glued it to an A2 card base.

I die-cut vellum with the Slimline Postage Stamp Frame Dies. I then used the  Simple Square Nesting Dies to die-cut four small squares from white card stock. I ink-blended two with abandoned coral Distress Ink and two with twisted citron and mowed lawn Distress Oxides. I added stitched lines along the outside of each square with a white Gelly Roll pen.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images from Fruitful Friends and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. The butterfly is from I Really Dig You, I die-cut it with the coordinating dies.

I used liquid glue to adhere the squares to the vellum postage die-cuts. Next, I glued the stamped and coloured images to the small ink-blended squares and then used double-sided foam tape to adhere them to the card base.

I die-cut the letters 'melon' from white card stock using Anthony's Alpha Dies. I ink-blended the top of each letter with abandoned coral Distress Ink and the bottom with twisted citron and mowed lawn Distress Oxides. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen.

I die-cut the same letters from black cardstock and glued the ink-blended letters to these (slightly offset to create the look of a shadow). I used double-sided foam tape to adhere the letters to the card base.

I masked off the word 'melon' from the 'you're one in a melon' sentiment stamp, and inked it with Versafine Onyx Black. I trimmed it down with a slim rectangle die and used double-sided foam tape to stick it to the card.

Lime All Yours - New Release!

Happy new release day! I am sharing my first card featuring the latest stamp and die sets from Time For Tea Designs! I used two new stamp sets and two new dies for today's card. I LOVE this new release; it is perfect for all your summer cards!

For the background panel, I ink blended squeezed lemonade Distress Ink onto white cardstock that I had die-cut using the Sweet Scalloped Dies. I added mustard seed Distress Oxide splatter with a paintbrush and water.

I used the second-largest die in the  A6 Simple Nesting Dies to die-cut purple patterned paper to 5 and 5/16 inches by 3 and 5/8 inches. I glued this down to an A6 card base with double-sided tape.

I used double-sided tape to stick the scalloped panel to the card base.

I added twisted citron Distress Paint on my glass mat and sprayed it with water. Next, I pressed watercolour cardstock into the paint multiple times to create a background. I die-cut the letters 'lime' from this background with Anthony's Alpha Dies.

I die-cut a small scalloped circle from the same lime green panel using the brand-new Scalloped Circle Dies. I die-cut a small circle using the new Simple Stitched Circle dies and ink blended it with squeezed lemonade Distress Ink. These two nesting die-sets will be a valuable addition to your die collection!

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) the bunny from the new 'Fruitful Friends' stamp set and the limes (lemons or oranges - depending on how you colour them!) from 'Squeeze The Day' and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen.

I used liquid glue to stick the stitched circle to the scalloped circle and then double-sided tape to stick them down to the card base. I used liquid glue to stick the stamped elements to the circle.

I used slim double-sided tape to stick the letters to the card base and the 'all yours' sentiment.

I die-cut the purple patterned paper with the Flirty Flowers Cover Die and used three heart cut-outs on the card.  

I added three beautiful lime enamel dots from the Sweet Summer Designer Enamel Dots to complete the card.

Wishing You Lots of Luck

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, since St. Patrick's Day is coming up, I am sharing a bright green card featuring the Good Luck Critters from Time For Tea Designs. I love how vibrant and intense Distress Paint is and enjoyed using it. 

I squeezed twisted citron Distress Paint onto my glass matt, sprayed it with water, and then smooshed watercolour paper into the ink. I trimmed this paper to 5 1/2 by 3 3/4 inches and glued it to a card base with liquid glue. 

I die-cut the letters 'luck' using Anthony's Alpha Dies with the leftover green inked paper. I added white gel pen accents to each letter with a Gelly Roll Pen. 

I die-cut white cardstock using the smaller of the Sweet Scalloped Dies and ran this panel through my Big Shot again using the Stitched Quilted Cover Die - I love the pattern it creates. I used liquid glue to adhere to the card base.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) images from Ewe Are The Best and Good Luck Critters and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. 

I used liquid glue to stick the tree, four-leaf clovers and flowers to the card base. I used double-sided foam tape to adhere the rest of the elements and the sentiment to the card.

L O V E....

Hey there Tea-timer friends..

DT Ashlee here and I have some new T4T inspiration to share with you!

 Today my card is a love themed one in preparation for Valentines day...

I used these Time for Tea designs products :

- Anthonys alpha die

- Oops a daisy stamp / co-ordinating dies

- A2 stitched hearts cover die

To create this card I started with a very light grey card base that I die cut from the stitched hearts cover die. This was then splattered with a distress oxide spray. I die cut the inside rectangle dies also from the cover die from yellow and the light grey card before adhering those in place with glue to the centre. 

I stamped, coloured and die cut the cute kitty cats from Oops a daisy set before and adhered them to the card base with levels of foam tape for dimension!

I added a big focal love sentiment by die cutting the letters from Anthonys alpha die set before completing the card with a touch of pretty sequins...

I hope you like this love card, thankyou for stopping by the blog. Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.

Q U E E N

 Hello there Tea-timer's...

It's your crafty friend DT Ashlee here with some new T4T inspiration for you!

This week my inspiration features the super cute Queen for the day set. I just love this adorable set, it's perfect for making cards for all the special queen's in our lives!

To create this card I started with a pink cardstock base, I then used Catherine Pooler Be mine ink to make a bit of a pink ombre background. Once I was happy with the background blend I gave it a splatter of black paint!

Using the Anthony's alpha die I die cut then Q U E E N sentiment using a light grey card and a black card before adhering together slightly off set to create a shadow. This was then adhered to the card base with foam tape to start adding dimension.... 

The sub sentiment was stamped directly onto the card base with Memento tuxedo black ink. I stamped, coloured and die cut all the images from the Queen for a day set then adhered these also to the card base with foam tape. The bath was covered in WOW! sparkles for a pretty effect!

To complete the card some pretty sequins....

That's all for my card today, I hope you enjoyed it! Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.

Slimline Christmas Houses

Happy December, DT Annalisa here and I am kicking this month off with a CAS (clean and simple) slimline Christmas card that I created using three dies and no stamps. I rarely do this, but I really enjoyed making this card. 

I used the Simple Slimline Nesting Dies to die-cut a white panel and some blue cardstock. I sprayed the blue cardstock with Distress Mica Stain in Shiny Bauble to add shimmer. I love the shimmer and shine that Mica sprays add to projects. 

I used liquid glue to adhere the blue panel to the white panel and a slimline card base. I used the Slimline Mini Village Die to cut white cardstock that I then glued to the card. 

I ink-blended lumberjack plaid Distress Oxide onto white cardstock and then used Anthony's Alpha Dies to cut out the letters to create the word 'Christmas.' I added sparkles to the bottom of each letter with a Quickie Glue Pen and Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter.

I used liquid glue to stick the letters to the card base. Next, I added Designer Enamel Dots Clear Bubbles to complete the card.

A pizza my heart

 Hey there Tea-timer friends...

It's DT Ashlee here. Do you like pizza?! If you answered yes then you are in for a pizza treat with this card!

I used these Time for Tea designs products :

- Let's spoon stamp and die collection

- Wide stitched frame dies

- Anthony's alpha dies

- Scattered hearts stencil

To create this card I started with a teal blue card stock base that I added scattered hearts stencilling to using Catherine Pooler ink in the colour Cummerbund. 

Using black paint mixed with water I gave the base a splatter of paint! 

Using the wide stitched frame dies I die cut a frame from light grey card and backed it with a darker grey. I then adhered that angled onto the card base using foam tape to start adding in some dimension. 

I stamped, coloured and die cut three of the pizzas from the lets spoon set then adhered them onto the frame. 

Now it was time for a sentiment so I stamped and die cut the 'you stole a pizza my' and adhered it below the pizzas. Using the Anthonys alpha set I die cut the word HEART to finish the sentiment. I die cut it from grey cardstock and also from pink card so that I could offset it creating a shadow. Once that was all done I adhered it in place and finished it all off with a touch of sequins and 

embellishments!

Thanks for checking out my card today, I hope you enjoyed it. Happy crafting, Hugs Ashlee.

X O X O

 Hey there Tea-timers....

DT Ashlee here with you today and I have a mini slimline card to share with you all. I just love the mini slimline scallop die set, it's such a fun size to create card bases with!!

This one features the You're engaged stamp & co ordinating die collection....

To create this card I started by die cutting and arranging the base using their mini slimline scallop set. I then used the Anthony's alphas to die cut the sentiment X O X O. I die cut it twice using different coloured card stock so that I could adhere it together creating a drop shadow. 

The X O X O was adhered in place with foam tape and then a sub sentiment stamped underneath "MR & MRS".

Using the You're engaged set I stamped, coloured and die cut the images. These were all coloured using Spectrum noir tri-blend markers with a touch of white gel pen highlights. 

I adhered the images in place also using foam tape and then completed the card with some pretty bling sequins!!

That's all for todays card, I hope you enjoyed it and it inspired you to make a mini slimline card. Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.

AVO nice day shaker

 Hey there Tea-timer friends...

It's DT Ashlee here with you today and I have an avocado inspired card to share featuring the "Let's spoon stamp and die collection".

I recently got these stamps and the let's avocuddle shaker embellishments so I couldn't wait to make a shaking avocado card with them!! 

I created the card base using the A2 stitched hearts cover die by die cutting it from a green cardstock and then adding some shading to the bottom half portion using green ink....

I then adhered acetate to the cut out and added foam tape to make the shaker portion, filled it with avocado babies/sequins and backed it closed with another green piece of cardstock!!

I wanted a fun sentiment so I die cut the AVO NICE DAY using the Anthony's alphas die from white and green cardstock so that I could adhere the white cuts behind the green offset creating a letter shadow...

These were adhered to the card base using foam tape giving a nice bit of dimension to the lettering!!

I coloured up a couple of the super cute avo's using OLO markers and stamped the centres using CPD ink. Using a white gel pen I added some white highlights them adhered them to the base also using foam tape to pop them up...

To complete the card a small touch of sequins!!

Thanks for checking out my inspiration for today, I hope YOU avo nice day hehe....

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.
