A New Way to Use Your Patterned Paper!

Hey there, Tea Timers!!  It's Amanda back with a fun way to use your patterned papers!

First, we're going to grab a 6x6 sheet of patterned paper and cut it up into 4 different sized widths.  Adhere them directly to your card front with glue.

Then, cut out any circle die that's large enough to hold a mini-scene, but not too big so you still have room for your sentiment.  Ink blend a very light color in the center of your circle.  Prop it up with 3D foam tape or squares.

Stamp your images from the Ewe Are The Best Stamp Set.  Color the images with Copic markers.  Die cut them with the coordinating die set.  Attach your images to you circle with 3D foam squares.

Trim down a coordinating piece of patterned paper into a banner flag.  Glue that behind your circle and onto your card base.

Stamp your sentiment on black cardstock with a Wow! Embossing Glue pad and apply white embossing powder.  Heat the powder with a heat tool to melt it.  Trim your sentiment down into a small banner flag. Attach your sentiment to the card with 3D foam tape.

Add some sequins with liquid glue.

That's all for me today, friends!  I hope you find some time to get crafty today!!  Enjoy!

Xx, Amanda

How to Create Laundry That Really Tumbles!

 Hey there, Tea Timers!!  It's Amanda back with a very fun interactive card using the Loads of Love stamp set!

First, I created an angled background with the Pretty Pastels paper pad.

Next, I stamped my images and colored them in with Copic markers.

I die cut them with the coordinating dies, which includes a circle to cut out the center of the washer/dryer stamp.

I added acetate and then 3D foam tape to create a "shaker".

I added some laundry to the shaker.

Then, I assembled the rest of the card!

That's how I created the cutest little laundry room!  Thanks so much for stopping by the Time for Tea Blog today!

You Mean a LATTE to Me

Hello, Tea Timers!  I'm excited to be here today to share this gorgeous card with you!  I created this card by cutting out the Tree of Love Cover Die in white cardstock.  I adhered some patterned paper directly onto my A2 card base using liquid glue.  Then, I used my Bearly Arts precision glue to adhere my tree.

Next,  I stamped my images from the Happy Trails Stamp Set.  Once colored with alcohol markers, I cut them out using the coordinating die set.  I also trimmed a small white panel down and stamped the mugs directly onto it, evenly spacing them out, using a small acrylic block.

I trimmed down a piece of black cardstock that was just .25" bigger than my white panel.  I glued my white panel to the black panel.  I propped that up onto my card base using strips of 3D foam tape.

I trimmed down another piece of patterned paper and glued that to my white panel.  I grabbed my sentiment from the Perfect Blend Stamp Set and stamped that onto a piece of white cardstock in black ink.  I trimmed that down with my scissors and created a little flag/banner at the end.  I glued that onto my patterned strip.

The last thing to do is add on my stamped images with 3D foam squares and glue a few sequins down!

I hope you enjoyed this card and are feeling inspired by my post!  Have fun getting crafty today or whenever you can!  Xx, Amanda
