The sky's the limit

Hello, crafty friends! 

Today's CAS card features the paper plane pals stamp and coordinating dies set which is so much fun! I love that it is packed with little stamps to complete your card.

For my background, I used the Starry Heart 6x6" stencil on white cardstock with tumbled glass, salty ocean and chipped sapphire distress oxides.  

I don't use craft card anywhere near enough - it's so pretty and it provides a nice change to the white (which is what I usually reach out for the most!). Does this happen to you too? I feel like I have a favourite set of colour combinations and sometimes it's not easy to use different ones! So it's great to try and leave that comfort zone sometimes. 

I hope you like this CAS card and it inspires you to try something different!

So Stinkin' Cute

Hello crafty friends, DT Kitty here. I hope you had a fabulous Christmas, I can't believe we are almost in 2022! For my card this week I've created a simple scene with some of the new skunks...

I started out by creating a gently blended background using my Mermaid Lagoon & Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Inks. I then added some splats of water with a paint brush. I mounted the panel onto a white card with foam. All the images are from the Stinkin' Cute Stamp Set which I stamped and coloured with my Copics. I added some white dots on the mushroom with a white pen. I used the coordinating Stinkin' Cute Dies to cut them out. I heat embossed the sentiments in white onto black card and die cut them with the dies. I arranged all the images onto my panel and attached them in place with glue and foam pads.

Thank you ever so much for stopping by today, take care and stay safe.

CAS coffee card with a stencil

 Hello, tea timers! 

It is DT Natalia with you today. How are you? Was your weekend nice? I hope so! I got some crafting done but also managed to relax and do some house stuff, which always feels good! 

Today I have a Clean and Simple card to share with you, which I hope you like and encourages you to give it a go! 

I used the coffee stains stencil with pumice and ground espresso distress oxides. I love how the stencil makes a lovely background on its own, so quick and easy! 

For the sentiment, I used the pumice stone distress oxide on white cardstock then stamped the word Coffee from the Coffee Lover stamp and die collection, with walnut stain distress ink. 

I mounted it on a light brown textured cardstock (4.25x5.5") and added some sequins from My Little Things from Lucy's cards. 

I hope you like it as much as I do!

A cuppa thanks

Hi crafty friends! 

It is DT Natalia with you today. I hope you had a great weekend!

For this quick and easy card, I used a stamp that I have had for a long time from Time for Tea but never got round to using it - the Plaid background stamp set - I love the pattern on that stamp, it is so pretty. Instead of using ink, I decided to do some heat embossing with it. That blue is just gorgeous! It is hard to capture on the picture, but it is a bit glittery. It is Cummerbund from Catherine Pooler. I cut that to a square shape to fit on my A2 panel nicely. 

I then stamped the fun cat, panda and sugar cubes from the Terrific Pals stamp set and coloured them in with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.  I went for pastel colours this time as that would go well with the background. 

I used the coordinating die to cut them out and then arranged them on my background before sticking them down with double sided foam tape. To finish it off, I added the 'a cuppa thanks' sentiment on black cardstock with white embossing. I die cut it three time to build some dimension, which I think makes a huge difference on a card! 

I really like how quick this card was to make - what about you? do you like quick cards of rather elaborated ones?

HAPPY MAIL: Making a one layered card using masks

Hey everyone, Lien here. Today I am sharing this card on the Time For Tea Designs Youtube Channel. I am featuring the Car Critters stamp set that was release at the end of May. I decided to make a one-layer card using several critters from this set. I hope you like the end result. 

You can click HERE to watch on the Time for Tea Designs Youtube channel.

I started by stamping everything out onto an A2 sized panel. Important to take into account is which images are in front of the rest. This way, you can stamp out your image, add a mask, stamp the next image, add mask, ... this process was repeated A LOT to get the complete image I am coloring today. I colored everything in using my Copic Markers (combination below). 

• Cow: E47, E57 / E13, E11
• Llama: E33, E53, E51, E13
• Pig: E13, E11
• Panda: W1, W0
• Bunny: E18, E15, E33, E53
• Car: R89, R59, R37, R35 / W8, W6, W5 / W5, W3, W1 / Y38, Y17 / R37, R35
• Glass: G0000
• Shadow: W3, W1

After coloring everything in, I decided to add the sentiment "You're on your way!". Next, I adhered this panel onto a card base. I also added some glossy accents onto several parts of the image. I also used a black glaze pen onto the eyes, noses and panda. I hope you like it xxx
