"From Our Home to Yours... Have a Sweet Christmas!"

 Hi Tea Timers, welcome back to the blog! I am back with another background card, this time for the Winter Holidays! One of my favorite Christmas sets from prior releases has to be the Gingerbread Family stamp set. I thought it would be perfect to create a Christmas background with the images.

Sets used:

Gingerbread Family stamp set

(Coordinating die set available here)

I first took an A2 panel and stamped the 4 images of the gingerbread in one corner of the panel using a stamp platform. I much prefer a stamp platform as it is easier for me to re-stamp if any of the lines were stamped fully.

I then moved my panel and continued to stamp the gingerbread over the panel until I completed the background.

With the larger empty spaces between the gingerbread, I decided to stamp the gumdrops and candy canes to help fill in the gaps. 

Once my background is stamped completely, I used Copic Markers to color the images. I used the following combos: E00, E11, E13, E15, YG21, YG23, RV21, RV23, RV25, BG11, BG13.

I then heat embossed my sentiments unto teal cardstock and die cut them out using the coordinating dies.

I then adhered my sentiments onto the panel using foam adhesive tape to complete my card.

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy card tutorial. Links to this cute stamp set and coordinating die set are above. If you purchase the stamp set in the shop, don't forget to use the code T4TRANDY10 at checkout for some savings.

Happy Crafting and Happy Holidays!

I Love Brew Bookmark

 

Happy Friday, it is Annalisa here with my Friday project! Fall is a great time to stay in with a cup of tea and a good book, isn't it?! Today, I am sharing a tea-themed bookmark I created using several stamp sets and a stencil from Time For Tea Designs.

 

Now is a great time to grab the Tearrific Pals stamp set as it is on sale! Check out the 'Retiring Collection' section of the website for some great deals.

I added colour to the 3 1/8 inch by 6 1/4 inch tag (Dina Wakley Media White Tags-#8) by spraying tea-dye Distress Oxide Spray over the Coffee Stains 6 x 6" Stencil. I removed the stencil, sprayed on water (using a Distress Sprayer) and more tea-dye colour, and heat set this using the Tim Holtz Heat It Craft Tool. I find it essential to dry each time you apply colour/spray so you can build up the layers.

Next, I did some ink-smooshing onto the tag with ground espresso Distress Ink and a piece of acetate. For added detail and contrast, I added some splatter with a paintbrush and ink blended extra ink on the edges of the tag.  

I stamped 'I love brew' from The Perfect Blend stamp set with Vintage Sepia VersaFine ink. I then applied Icicle ultra fine embossing powder by Brutus Monroe (clear) and heat set it.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images from Tearrific Pals, and the cup from Coffee Lover and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. I used liquid glue to stick all of the elements to the tag. I tied some twine from Lawn Fawn through the opening in the bookmark to complete this project.

Let's party and eat treats!

Hey Tea timer friends...

DT Ashlee here today, Who's ready to party?!....

I hope you said yes because today's card is party theme and this kitty cat is ready to celebrate, eat lots of yummy cake and sweet treats!

I used these Time for tea designs products for this card :

- Let's party stamp and co-ordinating die collection

- Birthday cake stamp and co-ordinating die collection

- Let's party large sentiment die

- Hooray sentiment and cover plate die

To create this card I started with a yellow card stock base die cut from the hooray cover plate. I then added ink blending with Wild honey distress oxide ink on both sides of the panel leaving it light in towards the centre.

Using the lets party sentiment die I die cut it twice (once from pink card and once from black) so that I could layer them together creating a shadow. I also added a bit of ink blending to the pink layer to create an ombre of colour. 

This was adhered to the top of the card base using foam tape to start adding dimension to the card. 

I stamped, coloured and die cut a bunch of images from the two stamp sets Let's party and Birthday cake. These were coloured using Spectrum noir tri-blend markers. I added a few highlight's using a white gel pen.

I adhered all the images in place using different levels of foam tape to create a cute little scene full of treats and then completed the card with a touch of pretty sequins!

That's all for my card today, I hope you like it and it got you in the party creating mood. Happy crafting, till next post hugs Ashlee. 

Autumn Card: "We are the perfect blend!"

 Hi Tea Timers, welcome back to the blog. Now that Halloween is over, I wanted to create more Fall cards since it's my favorite season. It's the perfect temperature and includes all of my favorite drinks and treats. 

I decided to create a background card and use a color palette that I have been loving for Autumn.

Sets used:

Pumpkin Spice Clear Stamp set

(coordinating dies available here)

The Perfect Blend stamp set

Jumping with Joy stamp set

I first took an A2 panel and stamped the images I wanted to use the first time around. With the empty spaces, I stamped the same images again in different positions. 

With the gaps in between the images, I decided to fill them with leaves and acorns to help complete the Autumn look. 

I then used Copic Marker combos to color the images. With any bleeding from the markers, I used a white gel pen to cover up those mistakes.

It took me a bit to settle on the sentiment I wanted to use for this card. I ended up with the 'We are the perfect blend' sentiment as I felt that the drinks and treats are just the perfect blend with the Fall season.

I heat embossed the sentiment onto a coral cardstock and trimmed it down to fit across the panel.

I hope you enjoyed this quick and easy card. All of the items that I used in this blog post are linked above. Don't forget to use the code T4TRANDY10 at checkout for extra savings.

Have a wonderful fall y'all!

Let's Do Coffee

 

Happy Friday, Annalisa here today. The days are getting shorter, and the temperatures are becoming chilly and as such, I thought it would be fitting to share a warm coffee-themed card. The Pumpkin Spice stamp set from Time For Tea Designs is perfect for this time of year.

I placed the Coffee Stains 6 x 6" stencil onto my glass matt and sprayed it with Tea dye Oxide Spray. I then took watercolour paper and pressed it on the inked stencil with a paper towel for a few moments to ensure the ink sunk in. I then carefully lifted off the stencil and set the panel aside to dry.

Once the panel was dry, I die-cut it with a stitched rectangle from my stash and ink-blended walnut stain and ground espresso Distress Inks with my Beautiful Blender Brush. I stuck this panel to an A2 card base of cream cardstock.

I die-cut vellum with the Landscape Edge Standalone Die to form a wavy shape that I ink-blended with peacock feathers Distress Oxide. I then glued this to the card base. 

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) images from the Pumpkin Spice and Happy New Year Critters stamp sets and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. Next, I used liquid glue to adhere the stamped images to the card base. 

I ink-blended prize ribbon Distress Oxide onto watercolour cardstock and die cut it with the Hey, Hello, Hi Dies. I die-cut the frame into vellum and used it to back the 'hey' sentiment. I stuck the sentiment and frame backer to the card with liquid glue. 

I stamped 'let's do coffee' from The Perfect Blend stamp set to the card base with Versafine Onyx Black. I sprinkled on Alabaster Ultra Fine Embossing Powder and heat set it to complete the card.

Get well soon

 Hello there Tea-timer friends...

It's DT Ashlee here and todays inspiration is for someone to make them feel a little bit better while they are on the mend from illness. 

I think a get well card is a lovely way to give someone who may not be feeling the best a small pick me up/paper hug!

To create this card I started with a blue card stock base that I added blue inked hearts to using the T4T Scattered hearts stencil. 

I then die cut the Get well soon large sentiment twice, once from a light blue card and then once from black card. I did this so that I could adhere them together slightly off centre to create a shadow on the word. I love doing this to my die cut sentiments, I think it just adds that little extra to the sentiment area!

To complete the card I added a stamped sub sentiment "hugs" from the Get whale soon set and a touch of pretty sequins for a bit of bling....

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you like this card and feel inspired to send someone a get well soon card too as a little pick me up!

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee.
