Dies Only Coffee Card

Happy Friday, everyone! DT Annalisa here and I’m excited to share a card I created using only dies from Time For Tea Designs. While I typically prefer using stamps, I think these four die sets are terrific, and I wanted to make a card featuring them.

I added several drops of Dried Marigold Distress Paint onto my glass mat and sprayed it with water. I then pressed watercolour cardstock into the paint multiple times to create a vibrant orange background. After heat-setting the panel, I added Carved Pumpkin and Lumberjack Plaid Distress Oxide Spray.

Once the panel was dry, I die-cut it using the Snow Flurry Cover Die and adhered it to a panel of black cardstock that I had die-cut with the Sweet Scalloped Dies using liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I applied Salvaged Patina Distress Spray Stain to watercolour cardstock, heat-set it, and then die-cut it with the Warm Hugs Large Sentiment Die. I also die-cut the sentiment from White Silver metallic cardstock by Neenah. I used liquid glue to adhere the two die-cut sentiments with a slight offset before attaching them to the card base.

Next, I used the Takeout Coffee Cup Dies to cut the elements from watercolour cardstock and coloured them with Distress Oxides, inks, and sprays. Below are the colours I used for each part of the coffee cup:

- Milk Foam: Tea Dye Oxide Spray and Ink

- Coffee Cup Base: Lost Shadow Distress Oxide Spray and Hickory
Smoke Distress Ink

- Sleeve: Tea Dye Oxide Spray

- Heart: Salvaged Patina Distress Spray Stain

- Cup Lid: Lost Shadow Distress Oxide

I assembled the coffee cups with liquid glue and attached them to the card beneath the 'Warm Hugs' sentiment.

I added three Designer Enamel Dots from the Sweet Summer collection, to complete the card.
