Llama tell you, love you lots!

 

Happy Saturday Teatimer's I have a cute llama card for you today for the Valentines inspiration week. It's a pretty quick card to make, with not much colouring so great when time is short.  

I began by cutting out the largest rectangle die from the Metric Sized Layering Dies and inked it up with Kitsch Flamingo, Worn Lipstick and Wilted Violet Distress Oxide inks. Then I layered the Scattered Hearts Stencil over the top and used the Wilted Violet to create the hearts. 

The adorable llamas are from the Llama Tell You clear stamp set which is full of cute stamps. I chose just to use the llamas today but there loads of images to create a full scene. I coloured them up with copic markers and tried to create a fluffy coat on them by adding dark little U's and blending them out a little. 

Setting them aside I created my sentiment by cutting out the Love You Lots Large Sentiment Die three times out of white card and layering it together to create some extra depth. Then added the smaller sentiment from the llama stamp set which I heat embossed in white onto black card so it stood out more with it being so small. 

I adhered everything together and added some extra details using a black and white gelli roll pen. I like these as they work well over the top of the oxide inks you just have to be careful not to smudge them whilst still wet. 

That was my last official Time for Tea card as I step down after having a wonderful couple of years on the team. I hope you have liked all the cards I've made you know I love the products though so I will still be creating with them so be sure to check back on my instagram for more inspiration. 

Thanks so much to Jo for keeping me around so long and thanks to all the Teatimer's for your love and support. 

Lllama Tell You, love you lots Natalie!

Sealed with a Kiss!

 

Happy Saturday Teatimer's it's DT member Natalie here with a sweet, heart themed card for today's post. It's been so hectic over the last few months and my mojo just seems to have disappeared. I really didn't know what I wanted to make, so I dug around in my stash found a stamp set I wanted to use and then found some dies I thought would work well together with it. 

I used the Heart Nesting Dies  for the base layer keeping the bigger one white and then ink blending a sunset sky on the other using Kitsch Flamingo, Dried Marigold and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide inks. 

I cut out two more hearts the same size and used the Ocean Waves Dies to create the sea layers again I ink blended these with Tumbled Glass and Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxides. 

The Seals are from the Sealed with a Kiss Stamp Set and I coloured them up with Copic markers. Then for the clouds I used the Cloud Dies which I layered velum underneath to create a wispy feel. I adhered everything together and finished up by adding some finishing touches with my gelly roll pens. 

I hope you like today's card make sure you check back for more inspiration. Also if you want to buy any of the items in the Time for Tea shop you can get 10% off your order using code T4TNATALIE10. 

Gingerbread Latte Time!

Happy Saturday Teatimer's it's DT member Natalie here with another cute Gingerbread card. I had to get another one in before Christmas and I also wanted to create another coffee card. This one is a Gingerbread latte card you can check back on my other posts for a couple other coffee cards, including a black forest hot chocolate and a summery berry shaker card. 

This one I kept quite simple as a didn't feel it needed to be a shaker card as I wanted the focus to be on the Gingerbread Family. 

I started by cutting out the largest of the Eu Layering Dies  twice. I inked up one with some blue/green distress oxide inks and spritzed on some water for texture and splattered on some white acrylic paint to look like snow flakes. The second one I used to cut out the snow bank at the bottom using the Slimline Hillside Scene Dies. I layered this onto the base using some foam tape to create some depth. 

For the main features I used the Takeout Coffee Cup Dies  I used brown Distress Oxides to create the cup and a added a little splatters on the cream with the same colours. For the straw I coloured it with red copic markers and added stripes using a white gelly roll pen. 

The Gingerbread are from the new Gingerbread Family Stamp set I coloured them up with Copic markers and added some extra details with black and white gelly roll pens. Once these were all layered on I could see where I needed to place the big sentiment and snowflakes. These are both from the Falalala Scalloped Dies I adhered these and added some extra snow dots using my white gelly roll pen and that was my card finished up. I hope you like it dont't forget to check back for more inspiration and you can also get 10% off in the Time for Tea Shop using code T4TNATALIE10. 

 

Falalala

 

Falalala, happy Saturday Teatimer's the weekends keep rolling on fast at the minute don't they! I have another sweet Christmas card for you this week. I had the idea of turning the bears from the Happy Trails stamp set into Polar Bears to create this snowy scene card. 

I used the Falalala Scalloped Slimline Die set to create the base layer cutting it out twice and ink blending on some blue/green distress oxides to create my background. I added some texture with ink splatters and some snow with white acrylic paint splatters. Using the second base I cut out a snow bank using the Slimline Hillside Scene Dies and added some foam tape behind to add some depth. Using foam tape I added a second scallop frame on the top so it matched the height of the snow bank. 

I also cut out some snow flakes and the falalala out of white card adding them to the background then adhering the images on top. 

Their igloo house comes from the It's Penguin-ing to Look a Lot like Christmas Stamp set and the little holly came from the Gingerbread Family Stamp Set. 

As always I finished up by adding some final touches with a white and black gelly roll pen. I hope you like my card and as always you can get 10% off in the shop using code T4TNATALIE10. 

 

Have a Sweet Christmas!

 Hi everyone Natalie here with some more Christmas inspiration for my post. It's the sweet Gingerbread Family stamp set again because I had so much fun colouring them up and have a million and one ideas!

I had this idea of the little gingerbread man in the car from the Happy Trails Stamp set pulling up with this huge Christmas Tree on the roof which is also from the same set. 

I love how its bigger then the car, he looks so chuffed with himself don't you think!

The frame for the card I used my new favourites which is the Wide Stitched Frame Dies I ink blended a little to make it feel like a Gingerbread Frame. 

All my images were coloured up using Copic markers and for the background I used Distress Oxide Inks. I finished up by adding some snow using a white Gelly pen and adhered it all together. 

I love how it turned out its just a super fun card and quick and easy if your wanting to batch make as the gingerbread family are all the same colour so quick to colour up and cut out especially if you have the dies too.  I know you all loved them as much as us as they sold out so fast, so I can't wait to see what you all do with them. Keep checking back for more inspiration and if you want to buy anything in the Time for Tea Shop you can get 10% off your orders using code T4TNATALIE10. 

 

You mean a Latte to me!

So the new Time for Tea release is finally here and what a cute one it is. Like everyone else I think I was instantly in love with the cute Gingerbread Family Stamp Set, so keep looking back for more inspiration for them. I have so many ideas I want to create with them!

For today's card though I wanted to create a cosy Christmas coffee scene combining them with the Pumpkin Spice Stamp Set. We all know how much coffee is a well loved theme for us Crafter's so this is another super fun set. 

Using red and green as my theme I began colouring up my images, adding a pop of yellow with the pumpkins. As usual I used my trusted copic markers to colour up my images and added some extra details with my white gelly roll pen. 

The base of my card I used the Wide Stitched Frame Dies which I'm absolutely loving at the minute. I used a rich red for the frame and a nice Christmas green for the inside which helps adds some contrast to the card. I mounted these onto my card base and used some foam tape to give the red frame some height so I could layer the images at different heights too to add some extra interest. After everything was adhered I realised I didn't quite place the images right on the left hand side so added in some steam from my mug to add a little interest. Then added some dots of red, gold and white using gelly roll for some background detail and white heat embossed my sentiment which came from the Perfect Blend Stamp set and that was my card finished up. 

I hope you like it and be sure to check back for more inspiration. You can find all the products in the Time for Tea Shop and get 10% off your orders using code T4TNATALIE10. Have a great weekend and I'll see you all next week!

 

Trick or Treat!

 

Happy Saturday Teatimer's I have another Halloween card for today using the Hello Cupcake Stamp Set by masking out the strawberry and drawing in an eyeball it gives out a whole different feel to my card. 

I coloured in the image using copic markers and then added some dripping blood using a red gelly roll pen. I love how it turned out. Since the eyeball was smaller than the strawberry I could also cut it out using the coordinating die and then  fussy cut around the eyeball. 

For the base of my card I used the Geometric Snowflakes Die and cut out two and layered them over the top of each other to add some depth. I then used this as a template to cut out a rectangle a bit bigger than that one and inked it up with yellow and green distress oxide ink and splattered some purple over the top. 

I let this dry and then adhered them together alongside the cupcake in the middle. Then all that was left was the lettering for which I used Anthony's Alpha Dies and coloured it in using purple distress oxide inks. After adhering these together I felt like it was missing something so used the coordinating dies from the Spooktacular Stamp Set to cut out some bats from black card and just added some little eyes using white gelly roll pen and that was my card finished up. 

I hope you like it and don't forget to keep checking back for more inspiration from the rest of the team. Also if you would like to purchase any of the items in the Time for Tea Shop you can get 10% off your order using code T4TNATALIE10.  

 

Jumping for Joy!

 

Happy Saturday Teatimer's well Autumn is definitely here so it only felt right to pull out these cuties from the Jumping for Joy stamp set again. 

I went for a fun shaker card with them so I could use sequins behind to give the look of leaves dancing in the wind. I used the A2 Stitched Hearts Cover Dies to create the frame and layered acetate underneath. I then cut out a panel to fit behind which I inked up with Squeezed Lemonade and Dried Marigold and added some thick foam tape behind. Filling this with gold and orange sequins I added the frame on top. 

Then for the rest of the card I coloured up the critters from the Jumping with Joy stamp set using copic markers and die cut them out. As usual adding cute little dots to their cheeks and black shiny noses using a black and white gelly roll pen.

I adhered them using foam tape then it was just time to add the sentiment which I stamped out the jumping and heat embossed it in white on black. I didn't want the joy part though so when I die cut the sentiment I chopped that part off.  Then all that was left was the big Joy which I used the Joy Stitched Sentiment Die and cut out of dark green to carry on with the Autumn colours. 

That's my shaker card finished up, it was really quick and easy to make. You can find all the products in the Time for Tea shop and get 10% off your orders using code T4TNATALIE10.

Have a great weekend and keep checking back for more inspiration from the team. 

Love you a Latte!

 Happy Saturday Teatimer’s hope you have had a great week. It’s DT member Natalie here with a sweet Pumpkin Spiced Latte Halloween card. I had so much fun with this one as I’m sure you can tell. I really enjoy playing around with the Take Out Coffee Cup Dies and I’ve done a few different scenes with it including a Black Forest Hot Chocolate winter scene and a Very Berry Summer themed card as well which you can also find on the blog. It’s just so versatile it’s also super easy to turn into a shaker card as well as you can see in my tutorial for the Black Forest Hot Chocolate card. 

 I used the Snow Flurry Die to create my background and ink blended a range of pink and purple distress oxide inks. To which I added some clouds using the Cloud Dies and the Windmill Add on Die Set. For the outline clouds I added some velum behind to add a soft texture. 

I added some black grass using the Slimline Hillside Dies and then began on the coffee cup. I cut out the main body and did some ink smooshing with orange and brown distress oxides. Setting that aside to dry I cut out the rest of the elements. 

For the stamped images I combined the Spooktacular, the little mouse from Hey There Critters and the toadstools from Life's Up's and Down's which is another great Autumn set. I coloured all the images up with Copic markers and die cut them all, except the big pumpkin which I fussy cut. the reason being I didn't want a white edge as I wanted it to look like it was part of the sleeve for the cup.

After adhering everything together I added some stars to the sky using a range of colours of gelly roll pens, they are great for just adding finishing touches to your card. I hope you like my card for this week don't forget to check back for more inspiration and if you want to purchase anything in the Time for Tea Shop you can get 10% off your orders using code T4TNATALIE10. Have a great weekend!

Get Whale Soon!

 

Hello Teatimer's I have another Whale card for you today. This time its a sweet Get Whale Soon card, for which I went for a bright and colourful colour scheme. 

I began by cutting out the largest frame from the Metric Layering Frame Dies three times so I had one for the base layer and the other two I cut out the sand bottom and the waves. I ink blended these with distress oxides and layered them altogether. 

For my images I combined the Get Whale Soon stamp set with an older discontinued mermaid set. You could use the weed from Fintastic Friends too though if you have that. I coloured those up with Copic markers and added some finishing touches using Black and White Gelly Roll pens. 

I also heat embossed the sentiment onto black card and cut that out with the coordinating dies. I love that Time for Tea stamps have the coordinating dies to cut out the sentiments too. It just adds something extra to your card. 

After adding adhering everything together I added some birds in the top left corner and some pink dots using a gelly roll pen and that was my card finished up for today. 

I hope you like it and be sure to check back for some more inspiration from the design team.

Here's the Scoop!

Happy Saturday Teatimer’s hope it’s been a good week. I love the Autumn weather that's hitting us this week but I am really missing those hot summer days that are perfect for ice cream at the beach. These cute critters from the Cool Critters Stamp Set have to be one of my favourite Time for Tea stamp sets.  I have quite a few other cards for inspiration with them on my Instagram page. 

I began by cutting out the largest rectangle from the Layering Dies Metric Size to create my base which I inked up with distress oxide inks. I cut out two more rectangles which I used to cut out the waves and the beach again inking them up with distress oxides. 

For the clouds I used the Cloud Dies and layered over velum to give them a softer look. 

Then stamped and coloured up my images, I used COPIC colours to colour up my images. Then added some extra details for the cheeks and noses using a black and a white gelly roll pen. 

Once everything was cut and coloured I layered everything up on my card base. Finishing up with some dotted details randomly on my card with coloured gelly roll pens. 

I hope you like my card and if you want to get any of the products in the Time for Tea Shop you can get 10% off using code T4TNATALIE10 . Have a great weekend and don't forget to check back soon for more inspiration from the rest of the team. 

Get Whale Soon!

 

Happy Saturday Teatimer's I'm back with another cute cards using the new Get Whale Soon Stamp Set from Time for Tea Designs. 

I love a good pun so had to cut up the Get Well Soon Large Sentiment Die to create this fun punny get well soon card. I used the Smile Inverted Scallop Frame Die for my base layer and used the dotted wave embossing die from the Ocean Waves Die Set to create embossed waves. 

I ink blended over this with blue and pink oxides so the pink tied in with the sentiment and added some spritzes of water and splatters of the same colours. 

The whales and their fun accessories are coloured up with copic markers I just love the Get whale Soon pun they create adding them to the middle of the sentiment. To finish everything up I added some stars and bubbles using a white gelly roll pen. 

I love how this one turned between the rich colours and the pop of pink to that punny sentiment it's just a super fun card. You can find all the supplies in the Time for Tea Shop and get 10% off any orders using code T4TNATALIE10

Happy Saturday Teatimer's I've got a fun whale card today for you using the new Time for Tea release. 

As you probably know I love to make scene cards and the Stitched Slimline Slopes Die is perfect for this. 

I used an ombre technique with Distress Oxides to create darker water at the bottom and then lighter towards the top where it hits the sky. Then for the sky I blended the sky and then stencilled some sun rays over the top. I finished it up with some spritzes of water and splatters of the same colours and coloured up some fish using an orange gelly roll pen. I also drew in some birds in the sky too to add some extra interest.

The whales and narwhal are from the new Get Whale Soon Stamp and Die set  I coloured them up in a range of colours for more contrast and a pop of colour. Then all that was left to do was the sentiments which I white heat embossed onto black using the Simple Sentiments Clear Stamp Set.

That's my card finished up I hope you like it you can fund all the products in the Time for Tea Shop and you can get 10% off your purchases using code T4TNATALIE10

Have a Beary Good Day!

 

Happy Saturday Teatimer’s it’s DT member Natalie here on the blog with this super sweet bear card. I haven’t been well the past few weeks so needed a quick card for my post for today. Luckily when I colour up my stamps I always stamp and colour about three out of each image and then I have some left for another project later on. 

These sweet bears are from the Bears Picnic Clear Stamp Set. It’s such a sweet set with four bears a picnic basket some little ants and picnic food. I’ve used it many times and still love it so much! 

As you can see I added two of the same stamp but just coloured them up in different ways. As I wanted it to look like two friends having a Frappuccino in the park and then flying their kites way up in the sky. 

The background was pretty simple to make too the Stitched Slimline Slope Dies make for quick easy backgrounds. I just inked up the inside with different Distress Oxides to give the impression of grass and sky. Great for when your in a rush! I did layer the frame twice to add some depth and dimension. 

 For the sentiment I heat embossed white onto black card. I love this technique as it makes the sentiment really pop. Then to finish off my card I added some details with my gelly roll pens just adding some dots of colour in the sky and grass and then little dots on the cheeks and some shiny black noses. 

I hope you like my card for today and if you want to pick up any of the products you can get 10% off in the Time for Tea shop using code T4TNATALIE10 ❤️
