Interactive Gardening Card

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! I'm excited to share a fun and interactive shutter card that I made using a mix of adorable stamp sets from Time For Tea Designs. The animal friends look like they're having a wonderful time in the garden!  

The following stamp sets were used to create this card:

Hey There Critters (sun and sunflower)

Cacti Critters (butterfly and bunny)

Seasons Tweetings (tree branch and greenery)

I Really Dig You (gardening tools)

Book Buddies (worm)

Squeeze the Day (butterfly)

Fruitful Friends (bee)

Ewe Are The Best (heart flowers)

To make this interactive card, I used the ‘Shutter Card’ and ‘Shutter Card Add-On’ dies from Lawn Fawn, following their instructional videos on YouTube.

I ink-blended Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide over a cloud stencil for the sky, and Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn, and Rustic Wilderness over a grass stencil for the grass, then added white splatter with a paintbrush and Copic Opaque White.

I stamped, coloured, and die-cut images from the listed sets, added white gel pen accents, glued them in place, and stamped the sentiment in the center opening.

For the band on the front of the card, I die-cut pattered paper from the Sweet Summer 6x6' Paper Pad. I die-cut a circle using the Stitched Circle Dies from white card stock and ink-blended it with Mustard Seed Distress Oxide. I  used the Scalloped Circle Dies to die-cut vellum paper and glued it behind the yellow circle. I used liquid glue to stick the mouse to the center of the circle.

Watercolour Ocean Scene

Hello, and happy Saturday, DT Annalisa is back again today! I wish I could be out on a boat in the ocean right now. Today, I’m excited to share my project featuring the new Boat Buddies stamp set from Time For Tea Designs.

To create the front panel of the card, I used an Evergreen Bough Distress Watercolour Pencil. I soaked the pencil in water, then scribbled it on acetate, pressing it onto watercolour paper to transfer the colour. Once the panel dried, I die-cut it using the Simple Square Nesting Dies and Stitched Circle Dies.

For the background panel, I utilized Squeezed Lemonade and Saltwater Taffy Distress Watercolour Pencils. I adhered this panel to a square card base with liquid glue. 

I stamped several images from the Boat Buddies stamp set, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I added accents with a white gel pen from a Gelly Roll Pen. The compass and birds were from the Adventure Awaits stamp set.

Next, I die-cut vellum with the Ocean Waves Dies and colored it with a blue Copic marker. I used liquid glue to attach it to the back of the blue-green watercolour panel.

I stuck the boat to the card base using liquid glue and stamped the sentiment and birds above it. I then used double-sided foam tape to adhere the blue-green panel to the card base.

Finally, I used liquid glue to attach the remaining stamped images in the four corners of the card base.

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.

Thinking of Ewe Scalloped Circle Card

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! Today, I'm excited to share a vibrant Spring scalloped card featuring the Ewe Are The Best stamp set. I created the shaped card using the Scalloped Circle Dies.

I ink-blended Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink onto white cardstock, which I then die-cut with the Scalloped Circle Dies. I attached this inked panel to a card base of the same size using liquid glue.

Next, I die-cut a large circle using the Stitched Circle Dies. For the sky and grass, I ink-blended Tumbled Glass, Twisted Citron, and Mowed Lawn through some stencils from my collection. I added splatter to the sky with Salvaged Patina Distress Spray Stain and to the grass with Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide.

I used double-sided tape to attach the circle panel to the card base.

I stamped images from the Ewe Are The Best, Ewe Are Moovellous and Oops a Daisy stamp sets and colored them with Copic markers. I then used their coordinating dies to cut them out and added accents with a white gel pen.

To complete the scene, I adhered the stamped images and the sentiment to the card using a combination of liquid glue and double-sided foam tape.

Plaid Easter Wishes

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! April has arrived, and Easter is just around the corner! I'm excited to share a spring Easter card featuring the Easter Wishes Large sentiment die and the Eggstra Special Birthday stamp set.

To start, I trimmed a piece of the Pretty Pastels 6x6 Paper Pad to fit an A6 card base and secured it using double-sided tape.

Next, I die-cut white cardstock with the Sweet Scalloped Dies and A6 Simple Nesting Dies to create a thin scalloped frame. I attached this frame to the card base with liquid glue.

I then stamped several images from the Eggstra Special Birthday stamp set, colored them using Copics, and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I added accents with a white gel pen using a Gelly Roll Pen.

For additional elements, I die-cut vellum using the Stitched Circle Dies and Cloud Dies, adhering them to the card base with vellum adhesive.

For added dimension, I used double-sided 1mm foam tape to attach the stamped images.

I applied Gina K Designs Dusty Rose ink to a piece of white cardstock, allowing it to dry before die-cutting it with the Easter Wishes Large sentiment die. I then added white gel pen accents for an extra touch.

For more dimension, I die-cut the sentiment from white cardstock twice and adhered the layers together using liquid glue. I attached the sentiment to the card with more liquid glue.

To finish off the card, I added Summer Haze Designer Enamel Dots.

Party Duck

Hello, and Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here. Today's project is a fun birthday card I created using the Lucky Ducks stamp set and several dies from Time For Tea Designs.

To make the background, I used alcohol inks on Yupo paper and the Tim Holtz Ink Air Blower. I combined Alcohol Blending Solution with alcohol inks in Amethyst, Indigo, and Mermaid to create a teal and purple background.

Once the background was dry, I die-cut it with the Stitched Quilted Cover Die and attached it to a card base with liquid glue.

Next, I used an Evergreen Bough watercolour pencil on watercolour paper. I soaked the pencil in water, scribbled it onto acetate, and then spritzed the acetate with water. After that, I pressed the acetate onto the watercolour paper repeatedly, heat-setting and spritzing with water as needed.

I die-cut the watercolored panel using the Stitched Circle Dies and adhered it to White Silver Neenah cardstock, which I had previously cut with the Scalloped Circle Dies. I then used double-sided foam tape to attach these pieces to the card base.

For the sentiment, I used the Let’s Party Large Sentiment Die on both White Silver Neenah and black cardstock. I layered them slightly offset with liquid glue and then adhered the sentiment to the card base.

I stamped one of the ducks from the Lucky Ducks stamp set and a balloon from the Birthday Fox stamp set. After colouring the images with Copics, I cut them out using their coordinating dies and attached them to the card base inside the circle panel with liquid glue.

To finish the card, I added silver stars that I die-cut with a small star die from my stash and included Clear Bubbles Designer Enamel Dots.

You're Always On My Nice List

Happy Friday from DT Annalisa! I’m excited to share a fun Christmas card featuring the new stamp set, Santa’s Nice List, along with beautiful patterned paper from Time For Tea Designs.

I die-cut a 5 1/8-inch square of striped paper from the Winter Wonderland Paper Pad (6x6") using the Simple Square Nesting Dies. I adhered this square to a card base with double-sided tape.

Next, I trimmed another piece of patterned paper from the same paper pad using the Scalloped Circle Dies. I then ink-blended it with Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide, using my Midi Beautiful Blender Brush.

I used the Stitched Circle Dies to die-cut a lovely design from the Winter Wonderland Paper Pad for the background scene. I attached this background to the scalloped patterned paper panel with a tape runner. I used 1 mm double-sided foam tape to give the card some dimension to adhere both pieces of patterned paper to the card base.

I stamped the trees and heart from Seasons Tweetings, along with Santa and his reindeer from Santa’s Nice List. After colouring them with my Copic markers and adding accents with a white gel pen, I cut them out using my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e.

Using liquid glue, I attached the stamped elements to the card. I took the smallest die from the Simple Slimline Nesting Dies to trim around the sentiment and glued it onto the card as well.

I added Designer Enamel Dots from the Festive Fun and Clear Bubbles sets to complete the card.
