🐰 Hoppy Easter 🐰

Hello Tea Timers! Welcome back to the Time For Tea Designs blog! I hope you’ve all had a great week so far! 

Today I’m sharing with you a super cute scene card, and I’m using the ‘Bunny Builder’ die set from Time For Tea Designs.

Time for Tea Designs Shop

Making the card:

To create the Bunny I cut all the pieces out of plain white card stock and used the ‘Tim Holtz Distress ink’ colours Pumice Stone to create the shadows and Spun Sugar to colour the pink areas of the bunny. I then glued them all together. To create the carrots I have cut out another piece of white card and used the Distress colours Mowed Lawn and Peeled Paint for the leaves and Spiced Marmalade and Ripe Persimmon for the carrot. 

To ground this sweet little critter I have used some white card and one of the the ‘A2 Layers’ die set. For the clouds and hills I have used the ‘6×6 Scene builder’ stencil alongside the Tumbled Glass, Mowed lawn and Forest Moss Distress inks. I have popped this up with some foam tape for added dimension.

For the background layer I have used a sheet of patterned paper from the ‘Pretty Pastels’ 6×6 paper pad.

For the sentiment I have taken the ‘White Velvet Alpha’ stickers and stuck them on to a thin piece of coral coloured paper and then popped this up with some foam tape. 

For a finishing touch I added some T4TD ‘Festive Fun’ 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.

🐑 Thinking of Ewe! 🐑

Hello Tea Timers DT Emma here! As we are now in March I thought it would be nice to start the month off with a happy Spring card! Today I have created a super cute box card featuring the ‘Ewe are the Best’ stamp and coordinating die sets.

Time For Tea Designs

To colour my images, I stamped them on to Crafters Companion Solar White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers.

To create the box card I have used an alternative die this time, but you can use your T4T ‘Box Clever’ Die Set and create a shadow style version or change it up and bit and use the hills at the top of the box to create something like mine. Very versatile! 

To create the hills I have used a sheet of the green flower patterned paper from the ‘Pretty Pastels’ 6×6 paper pad. I have also used a sheet for the sky and the spots which are also from the same pad. I just love the Time for Tea paper pads! Soooo cute! ❤️

Slimline Coffee Catch Up

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here today, I’m excited to share a beautiful springtime slimline scene of friends catching up over coffee and croissants. I used the Café Critters stamp set and Skies The Limit Slimline Die from Time For Tea Designs.

 First, I die-cut white cardstock using the Skies The Limit Slimline Die. Then, I ink-blended the clouds with Salvaged Patina and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide inks using my Beautiful Blender Brush. I applied Saltwater Taffy, Squeezed Lemonade, Cracked Pistachio, and Shaded Lilac Distress Oxides for the rainbow.

I used liquid glue to adhere the scene outline and inside pieces to a slimline card base.

For the background, I ink-blended Lost Shadow onto a half-inch strip of white cardstock with the Tiled Wall 6 x6" Stencil. After removing the stencil, I blended over the panel with the remaining ink on my brush to fill in the white areas with a lighter grey. I then used double-sided tape to attach the brick floor to the card base.

I stamped and coloured several images from the Café Critters set using Copics, then cut them out with their coordinating dies. To add some detail, I used a white gel pen for accents.

Additionally, I stamped the 'Hey' sentiment from the Hey There Critters set and cut it out with its coordinating die.

Finally, I used liquid glue to adhere all the stamped elements to the card.

💡 You Light up my Life! 💡

Hello Tea Timers! DT Emma here and I’m back today with another card using the ‘Let’s Spoon’ stamp set.

Time For Tea Designs

To make this card I have cut out a piece of white card, measuring US A2 size and I have stamped the small switch stamp all over the background with black and grey ink. I have also done a little bit of ink blending using the Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink from Tim Holtz and my blender brush to create a light effect.

To colour my little light bulb, I stamped him on to Crafters Companion Solor White card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them with my Spectrum Noir Tri-blend markers.

I have cut out a circle of white card using the Simple Circle dies  and added my image with foam tape to the circle. I then stamped and cut out my sentiment. To make the light bulb shine I have added some Ranger Glossey Accents.

Hello Kitties

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! Today, I'm excited to share a beautiful card featuring a watercolored background that I created using the Wonky Shapes Masking Stencil and Distress Watercolor Pencils.

To start, I soaked the Evergreen Bough and Chipped Sapphire Distress Watercolor Pencils in water. I then scribbled the colours onto the Wonky Shapes Masking Stencil and spritzed it with water. After that, I flipped the stencil over and pressed it onto Ranger Distress Watercolor Cardstock, holding it in place for several minutes.

While the stencil was pressed down, I traced the outline on one side of the stencil openings with a Victorian Velvet Distress Watercolor Pencil. I used a small paintbrush and very little water and brushed over the pigment, activating it, and spreading it out.

I lifted the stencil and heat set the panel with my Ranger Heat It craft tool. I trimmed the panel and used liquid glue to adhere it to an A2 card base.

I love the way the background turned out and will be trying this technique again!

Next, I stamped and coloured several images using Copics from the Kitty Capers, Purrfect Day (books, plants, and a cat lying down), Let's Chat (sentiment), and Home Is Where The Heart Is (telephone) stamp sets. I cut them out with their coordinating dies and added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen.

Finally, I adhered the images to the card base using liquid glue or double-sided foam tape for added dimension.

🍕 Pizza my Heart! 🍕

Hello Tea Timers, DT Emma here and I’m back today with this super sweet Valentine’s Day card. 

For my card today I have used the Time for Tea Designs ‘Let’s Spoon’ stamp set and coordinating die set.

To create the love heart background I used the heart die from the ‘Be Kind Be You’ set and cut out a stencil from some scrap card. I used the colours Candied Apple and Festive Berries Distress inks to stencil the hearts all over the background. 

I stamped the Pizza on to some Neenah Classic Crest card stock with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and coloured them in with my Spectrum Noir Tri-blend markers. 

For a finishing touch I added some T4TD Festive Fun enamel dots. 

For the sentiment, also from the Let’s Spoon set, I stamped it with my Versafine Onyx Black ink. This ink always creates a crisp looking sentiment.
