Let's Party!

 Hello Tea Timers!

Design Team member Michelle here and today’s card, we have some cute critters having the best birthday party ever, complete with all your favourite must haves!

Supplies used:

Let’s Party

Bunting - Trick Or Treaters

Cherry Cake - Baked With More Love

Large Balloon - Hey There Critters

The background is some orange striped cardstock with some white splatters added to give it the confetti look as well as adding extra texture.

I anchored the scene with a big banquet table bursting with treats. There’s jelly, cupcakes, lemonade and more, all coloured to match the bright and festive palette. The little party guests are so sweet with their excited faces and gift-bearing paws. I especially love how the bunting along the table ties everything together so neatly.

The bold “Let’s Party” sentiment heat embossed onto black cardstock across the top really brings the energy. This card is perfect for birthdays, celebrations or just a reason to smile.

Purple Let's Party

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! I'm excited to share a colourful purple party card I created using several Time For Tea Designs stamp sets and Ranger alcohol inks.

To create the background, I used a variety of alcohol inks, Ranger blending solution, 99% isopropyl alcohol, and an alcohol ink applicator with a felt tip on Yupo paper. The colours I chose are Ranger Indigo, Glamingo, and Amethyst.

I die-cut this panel using the Sweet Scalloped Dies and adhered it to a card base with liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I die-cut the Let’s Party Large Sentiment Die once from silver glitter cardstock and twice from white cardstock. I glued these layers with liquid glue to add dimension before attaching them to the card base.

Next, I die-cut a circle from white cardstock with the Stitched Circle Dies and ink-blended it using Speckled Egg and Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide for the sky section. I added splatter using Speckled Egg Distress Watercolour Pencil mixed with water and applied it with a watercolour brush.

I ink-blended with Lost Shadow for the ground section and added splatter using Pumice Stone Watercolour Pencil. I then die-cut vellum with the Scalloped Circle Dies and glued it to the ink-blended circle before attaching it to the card base.

I stamped images from the Birthday Fox, Let’s Party and Lucky Ducks, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out using their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents for extra detail.

Finally, I used thin double-sided foam tape to adhere the images to the card and finished it off with Summer Haze Designer Enamel Dots.

Have a Colourful New Year

Happy Friday and Happy New Year, DT Annalisa here. For my first card of 2025, I am excited to share a bright, colourful card, wishing you a vibrant start to the new year!

I created the rainbow card panel using Distress Watercolor Pencils in the following colours: Picked Raspberry, Spiced Marmalade, Mustard Seed, Twisted Citron, Salty Ocean, and Wilted Violet.

After heat-setting the panel, I used a stitched rectangle die to trim it to 4 inches by 5.25 inches. I then attached it to an A2 card base using double-sided tape.

For the sentiment, I used the Happy New Year Sentiment Die to cut paper from a Christmas cracker with a beautiful pattern—it was too lovely not to use! I also die-cut black cardstock with the same die and layered the two together slightly offset to create a shadow effect using liquid glue.

Next, I stamped images from the Warm Hugs, Fruitful Friends, Let’s Party and You’re Engaged stamp sets, then cut them out with their coordinating dies. I coloured the images with Copic markers and added accents with a white gel pen.

To finish the card, I adhered the stamped images and the sentiment to the card base using double-sided foam tape. Finally, I added stars die-cut from gold metallic cardstock using a die from my stash.

I hope you enjoy this colourful creation! Be sure to use my discount code T4TANNALISA10 when you visit the Time For Tea Designs shop to get 10% off your order.

Big Birthday Wishes

Happy Friday, everyone. DT Annalisa here sharing a fun birthday card featuring stamps and dies from Time For Tea Designs. I love how the Big Birthday Wishes Sentiment Die fills up the card. 

I began by die-cutting patterned paper from the Sweet Summer 6x6' Paper Pad with a 6-inch by 4-inch stitched rectangle die. I ink-blended the edges of the pokadoted paper with Aqua Sky ink from Concord & 9th using my Beautiful Blender Brush. I adhered this to a card base with double-sided tape.

Next, I used peacock feathers Distress Oxide spray on watercolour cardstock and heat set it. I added silver metallic watercolour splatter with a paintbrush and water. Once dry, I die-cut the cardstock with the Big Birthday Wishes Sentiment Die.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images from the Let’s Party and cut them out with the coordinating die set. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen.  

I added double-sided foam tape (of two different thicknesses 1 mm and 3 mm) to most elements and stuck them down to the card base. I used liquid glue on the balloon and slid it behind the cat.

Pink Birthday Party Bunny

Happy Friday. DT Annalisa here sharing a sparkly pink birthday card, because who doesn't love pink and sparkly! I used a stencil, dies and stamps from Time For Tea Designs. 

I used the Simple Square Nesting Dies to die-cut Neenah Metallic cardstock for the back panel. I glued this onto a white cardstock card base. 

Next, I sprayed Distress Mica Stain Cocktail Party onto watercolour cardstock through the Diamond Burst 6 x 6" stencil. I heat set the ink and then spritzed water mist to create the light pink background in the white areas left behind. I stuck this to the card base with double-sided tape.

I ink blended peacock feathers, salvaged patina and tumbled glass Distress Ink to white cardstock. I scooped some white Perfect Pearls into a mini mister and added water, spritzed this onto the inked panel and then heat set it. 

I used the Square Label Dies to die-cut the teal-inked panel and a piece of vellum. I used liquid glue to stick the teal panel to the vellum one. I then glued this to the card base.

I used the Let’s Party Large Sentiment Die to die-cut silver metallic paper and paper from a Christmas cracker; I love being able to repurpose paper! I created a text shadow using silver paper by offsetting the text slightly when I glued the sentiments on top of each other. I glued these to the centre of the blue panel on the card base and added three pink Summer Haze Enamel Dots around them. 

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images from the Let’s Party stamp set and the stars from Happy Trails and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. I used double-sided foam tape to stick these to the card base to complete the card.

Big Pink Birthday Wishes

Happy New Year! DT Annalisa here sharing my first creation of 2024 that features the Big Birthday Wishes Large Sentiment Die. I love how this beautiful die fills a card. 

I ink-blended spun sugar, kitch flamingo, lumberjack plaid, and prize ribbon Distress Oxide ink with my Beautiful Blender Brushes to create a pretty pink background. I added splatter with a paintbrush, water and Copic opaque white and Distress Mica stain Cocktail Party. I die-cut this panel with the Simple Square Nesting Dies. 

I die-cut teal cardstock with the 5-3/16 inch die. I used double-sided tape to stick the pink square layer to the teal one, I then glued both of these on top of a square card base. 

I then ink-blended white cardstock speckled egg, salvaged patina and peacock feathers Distress Oxide. I die-cut this panel with the Big Birthday Wishes Large Sentiment Die. I die-cut this into two more pieces of white cardstock and stacked them on top of each other using liquid glue to stick them all together. 

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) the kitty with a party hat from Let’s Party and die-cut her out with the coordinating die. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. I used liquid glue to stick this to the right side of the card. 

I used the Open The Door Holiday Add On Die Set to die-cut several stars using scraps from my ink-blending for the rest of the card. I used liquid glue to stick them on the card. 

I added Clear Bubbles and Summer Haze Designer Enamel Dots to complete the card.

Cheers to 2024

Happy Friday, who is ready to start 2024? DT Annalisa here and my project today is a Happy New Year's card featuring the You’re Engaged stamp and Happy New Year Sentiment Die.

I used the Stars Stitched Cover Die to cut white heavy stock and ink-blended the cutout cardstock with black soot, chipped sapphire, prize ribbon, broken china and tumbled glass Distress Oxides.

The stars were ink-blended with mustard seed and queezed lemonade Distress Oxide. I added white splatter with a paintbrush, water and Copic opaque white. I adhered both portions of the die-cut cardstock to an A2 card base with liquid glue. 

I die-cut red patterned paper with the Happy New Year Sentiment Die and ink-blended it with lumberjack plaid Distress Oxide using my Beautiful Blender Brush. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. 

I added dimension by die-cutting the same die three times with white cardstock and using liquid glue to stack up the layers. I stuck the sentiment to the card with liquid blue.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) images from You’re Engaged (car, kitties, bubbly) and Let’s Party (balloon and sentiment) and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. 

I added dimension to 'Let's Party' by die-cutting the outline three times with white cardstock and using liquid glue to stack the layers. I used liquid glue to adhere to the card base.

I used liquid glue for the balloon and foam tape for the kitties in the car. I added Festive Fun Designer Enamel Dots to complete the card.

Interactive Christmas Card

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here today sharing a festive interactive card as we are just days away from Christmas! It features the Open The Door Die and some adorable Time For Tea Designs critters. 

I created the background with the Tiled Wall 6 x 6" Stencil by spraying on lumberjack plaid Distress Spray Stain and water on some high-quality watercolour cardstock. I used the left-over ink that remained on the stencil after using it for another background. I placed watercolour cardstock on the inky stencil and pressed it down firmly. I carefully lifted the cardstock and sprayed it liberally with water to create this beautiful effect. 

I adhered this 5-by-5-inch panel to a white card base and added a snowy hill using the Landscape Edge Standalone Die. I ink-blended lost shadow Distress Oxide ink onto the stairs area of the Open The Door Die and stuck it on top of the snowy hill on the bottom center of the card.

I ink-blended prize ribbon Distress Oxide ink onto the woodgrain cardstock and then splattered it with water. I die-cut the inked woodgrain cardstock and a silver metallic paper with the door die. I glued a piece of white paper to the back of the door so that I could stick it in the silver sections of the door. 

Next, I trimmed white cardstock to fit behind the door frame. I used the Tiled Wall 6 x 6" Stencil and lost shadow Distress Oxide ink to create the inside wall of the house. Antique linen Distress Oxide ink was ink-blended for the floor. 

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) images from Snow Much Fun, It's Penguin-ing to Look A Lot Like Christmas, Baked With More Love and Let’s Party and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. I glued these to the inked background 'wall' cardstock. I then glued this scene in behind the door frame so that it would peak out when you open the door. 

I used liquid glue to stick the door panel and it's' inside to the front of the card. I didn't own the Open The Door Holiday Add-On Die Set (I do now! as I grabbed it in the awesome Black Friday sale!), so I decorated it with mistletoe from It's Penguin-ing to Look A Lot Like Christmas and holly from Gingerbread Family - Our House to Yours.

The elements on the front are from Let’s Party (the small red present), Lucky Ducks and It's Penguin-ing to Look A Lot Like Christmas. I coloured these elements with Copics and stuck them down with liquid glue.

Finally, I added the 'HO HO HO' from the Sentiment Cards – Winter Wonderland White to complete this card.

You're Invited to Eat Cupcakes!

 

Hey there, Tea Timers!!  It's Amanda here! I'm excited to be here with you to share  inspiration using the Let's Party and Birthday Cake stamp sets!

To make this card, I started by stamping out the cake holders and bunny from the Let's Party  and the cupcakes from the Birthday Cake stamp set.  I colored them in with Copic markers and then die cut them out using the coordinating dies.

I created the layers using my paper trimmer and some scalloped dies.  I ink blended Catherine Pooler's Cotton Candy and Do-Si-Do inks for the background.

Here are a few more images!

That's it for me today, friends!  Thanks for stopping by the Time for Tea Designs blog today!  See ya soon!

Let's Party

Hey there, Tea Timers!!  It's Amanda here!  Today I get to share a card I made using the Let's Party Stamp Set from the New Release! 

To make this card, I'm going to start by creating my background!  I ink blended Catherine Pooler's Hot Tub and Skylight inks on a white cardstock panel.  I flicked some white paint mixed with water on it using a paint brush.  Then, I cut it down to fit in the upper 2/3 of my card base.  

I blended Buttercream on a smaller strip of cardstock and then stamped some of the tiny stamps from the Let's Party Stamp Set , also in Buttercream.

I stamped my sentiment in between these 2 color panels with black ink and then added some stars using Spiced ink.

Next, I stamped my images from the Let's Party Stamp Set and colored them in with Copic markers.  I used my color palette as a guide in choosing colors.

After die cutting them out with the coordinating dies, I assembled my card!  I glued down my panels.  Then, I used 3D foam squares to prop up my stamped images.

I added some Clear Bubbles Enamel Dots.

Aren't those little critters just too cute?!  That's all I have to share with you today!  Come back tomorrow for more inspo from other designers!

Xx, Amanda

 

Eat the Cake and Party

Happy Friday. DT Annalisa is here today sharing a card encouraging you to eat the cake! It features the Let’s Party stamp set from the latest release

I ink smooshed picked raspberry Distress Ink re-inker mixed with water onto watercolour cardstock. Once it was dry, I used the Stitched Quilted Cover Die to add texture to the background. I love this die so much! 

I trimmed patterned paper from the Gorgeous Gingham 6x6' Paper Pad and ink blended salvaged patina Distress Oxide onto it using my Beautiful Blender Brush. I used double-sided tape to stick it down to the pink panel. I then stuck the completed panel to an A6 card base.

I die-cut white card stock using the large Wide Stitched Frame Dies and adhered it with double-sided tape to frame the card.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images from the Let’s Party and Gummy Bears clear stamp sets and cut them out with my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. 

I used double-sided foam tape to stick the images to the card. 

I used the eat the cake sentiment die-to-die-cut teal-coloured card stock three times. I used liquid glue to stack them on top of each other and then to the card base. I also die-cut the confetti from the same card stock and used liquid glue to stick it to the card.

I inked the small confetti stamps with picked raspberry Distress Oxide and stamped them onto the pink background. I added three bright pink Designer Enamel Dots (Summer Haze) to complete the card.
