Thinking of You Mice

Hello Tea Timers. I’m back today with a new card featuring the ‘Rain or Shine Mice’ stamp and coordinating die set from the newest Time for Tea Designs release. I’m using this alongside the T4TD ‘Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle’ die set and the T4TD ‘Thinking of you‘ sentiment die.

Making the Card:

To create this card I cut out two pieces of white card using the ‘Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle‘ die set. For the ‘Thinking of You‘ sentiment I cut it out of a piece of scrap white card and then used my distress inks to create an ombre effect. I used Chipped Sapphire, Stormy Sky and Tumbled Glass. For the sentiment, I chose one from the ‘Rain or Shine Mice‘ set and stamped it with Versafine Onyx black ink.

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. I cut them out with their coordinating dies and arranged them onto my card with foam tape for dimension.

Thinking of You

Happy Friday from DT Annalisa! I'm excited to share a mini card featuring the adorable Rain or Shine Mice along with the Thinking of You Sentiment Die.

To create the back panel for this card, I die-cut patterned paper from the Pretty Pastels 6x6 Paper Pad using the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered this to a card base using liquid glue.

Next, I die-cut watercolour paper with the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies and created a watery-looking background using Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and water. I then attached this piece to the card base with liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I die-cut paper from the Gorgeous Gingham 6x6' Paper Pad using the Thinking Of You Sentiment Die. I used vellum for the outlined portion of the sentiment and adhered the two pieces together with liquid glue before attaching them to the card base.

I stamped images from the Rain Or Shine Mice stamp set, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I added accents with a white gel pen using a Gelly Roll Pen. The bee is from the Fruitful Friends set, the flowers are from Ewe Are The Best, and the small bird is from Ewe Are Moovellous.

To assemble the card, I used liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to adhere the stamped elements to the card base. I finished the card with three Sweet Summer Designer Enamel Dots.

Squeeze the Day

 Hey friends! Thanks for visiting the blog. It’s Safia here today sharing a card I made using the Squeeze the Day stampset and dies. This one was so fun cuz I decided to make some patterned paper using the stamp sets citrus stamps 

I started off by stamping the citrus stamps in tuxedo black memento ink. I then colored in my images using my COPIC markers. 

I wanted my background to really shine and so I used some black card stock to matte the front panel and then glued it with some foam tape onto my card base. For my greeting I stamped using versamark and heat embossed it with white embossing powder. Nice and simple today friends! Let me know what you think in the comments! 

Thinking of You with Cacti Critters

Hi. Design team member Koren Wiskman here. I hope that I can inspire you to create something fun with all of these awesome T4TD supplies. Today I am using the Cacti Critters Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies as well as the Thinking of You Sentiment Die Set to create this project. 

The card size is A2 (4.25in x5.5in.) The front panel is cut to 3.25in x 4.75in. This is my favorite size card to create. I have tried so many others but this size is the one that keeps my heart happy. My card bases are typically made using a neutral gray cardstock. These two details about my cards rarely change. 

Sentiment

I used the Time for Tea Designs Thinking of You Die Set and cut it from a piece of faux wood cardstock. This sentiment consists of four layers held together with liquid adhesive. The top layer is the wood. The lower three layers were simply cut from heavy weight white cardstock. The sentiment was adhered directly to the card panel with the same liquid adhesive after I was finished coloring the image. 

Focal Images

The images from the T4TD Cacti Critters Stamp set are so adorable. When looking at the small stand alone cacti, I couldn't help but see Mickey Ears! So, I took some inspiration and ran with it. I stamped the largest image of the cluster of cacti directly onto the card panel with waterproof black ink. I also stamped the bunny holding the watering can onto another piece with the same black ink. I colored these images using my colored pencils. For the base of the planter. I stamped in onto the wood cardstock and paper pieced it onto the panel to give the planter the same wood look as the sentiment. The bunny image is popped up using foam squares. 

Embellishments

There is only one embellishment on this card and it's a sweet bow on the bunny giving major "minnie vibes". 

I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Cacti Critters Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies as well as the Thinking of You Sentiment Die Set in the T4TD shop.

Sea of Friendship!

Hello Tea Timers!

Michelle here from the Design Team and today’s card is setting sail on the sea of friendship. This little crew of critters is off on an adventure, with sunshine, sparkles, and plenty of smiles on board.

Supplies used:

Boat Buddies

Beach Buds

I had so much fun putting this scene together. The bunny is steering the boat, the mouse is doing a bit of fishing (with a surprise catch), and a cheerful crab and seagull are tagging along for the ride. I couldn’t resist adding some glittery waves to make the water shimmer.

The sentiment says it all. All aboard the friendSHIP! This would be such a sweet card for a friend who needs a little cheer or just a reminder that they’re part of your crew.

Thanks for sailing by today. I hope this happy little scene brightened your day!

Michelle

🤍🖤 Smile! 🖤🤍

Hello Tea Timers! ♥ I’m back today with some new inspiration. This simple monochrome card is fun, quick and easy. I’m using the ‘Smile’ die from the ‘Smile Inverted Scallop Frame‘ die set alongside the ‘Sweet Summer‘ 6×6 paper pad from Time for Tea Designs.

Making the card:

To create the background layers I have used 1 sheet from the T4TD ‘Sweet Summer’‘ 6×6 paper pad and cut it down to (USA) A2 size. I have cut a slim panel out of plain white card stock and used one of my stitch dies to create the edge.

For the sentiment I have used the ‘Smile’ die from the T4TD ‘Smile Inverted Scallop Frame‘ die set and cut it 3 times out of black card stock. I glued them together to create some dimension. I adhered this to the slim white panel. For the stars I used the ‘Be Kind Be You‘ Clear Stamp Set and stamped them with Versafine Onyx black ink. I popped them up on some foam tape.

Sea You Soon Light-Up Card

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here and I'm excited to share a light-up card featuring the EZ Light from Pear Blossom Press and the Boat Buddies stamp set from Time For Tea Designs. As soon as I saw the lighthouse in this set, I knew I had to make it light up!

To create the background, I used the Peacock Feathers Distress Watercolour Pencil. I began by forming an outer organic shape and made it pale by using mostly water. After heat setting this layer, I created another layer, slightly smaller than the first, progressively darkening the colour. I learned this layering technique from a fantastic class by Jenn Shurkus titled "Distress Techniques: Watercolor Pencils Part 2." I gained so much insight from this class and highly recommend it.

I adhered the watercolour background to a card base with liquid glue. I used two of the dies from the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies to create a frame from white cardstock. I used liquid glue to adhere this to the card base. 

Next, I stamped the images from the Boat Buddies set, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I added accents with a white gel pen for extra detail. To guide the recipient on where to press to make the lighthouse glow, I used the 'push' stamp from the Pear Blossom Press Stamp and Die Set 19151 on the red and white life-saver tube.

I drew the rocks in pencil, outlined them with a Copic multiliner, and then colored them in with Copics.

For the light-up element, I utilized the EZ-Light, which comes with three lights in one unit, and followed a tutorial by Justine Dvorak. She provided a clear explanation of the process and even demonstrated how to create a pop-out area to replace the battery if it runs out!

I adhered the stamped elements using liquid glue and added three Designer Enamel Dots from the Sweet Summer collection for a finishing touch.
