Let's Party with Splatters

Hi. My name is Koren Wiskman and I am a brand new member of the Time for Tea Designs Design Team. I hope that I can inspire you to create something cool with all of these awesome T4T supplies. 

Today I am sharing an A2 size card (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. I'm using the Time for Tea Designs Let's Party Sentiment Die to create this card. I should warn you, I enjoy my "white-space". My card designs can be all over the place, much like my personality. I hope you enjoy. 

BACKGROUND

To create the background I used various inks to spritz, splatter, and drip some color onto the panel. Some pink, black, and gold to be specific. It is popped up using craft foam and tear tape adhesive. 

SENTIMENT

The sentiment is the star of the show. The Let's Party Sentiment Die was cut out a total of four times using a tabletop die-cutting machine, and then layered together using liquid adhesive. The first three layers are thick white cardstock and the last layer is brushed rose gold metallic cardstock. 

EMBELLISHMENTS

I added three gold butterflies from my stash using glue dots. My stash is large, to say the least. I need to start using some of these products that I've acquired over the years. So, YAY! I used my stash! 

I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Let's Party Sentiment Die in the T4TD shop.

💐 Happy Mother’s Day 💐

Hello Tea Timers! Happy Saturday! I’m back today with this super quick, clean and simple Mother’s day card. If you still haven’t had chance to make yours yet, then today’s inspiration can help.

Just using the Time For Tea Designs Puffy Alpha Stickers and one stamp, in my case I have used the cute little strawberry from the T4TD ‘Treat Yourself’ set, you can create this simple design.

Making the card:

To create this card I have cut out a piece of Crafters Companion Solar White card. I have used the Time For Tea Designs Puffy Alpha Stickers – ‘Watermelon margarita‘ set to create my sentiment in the centre of the card. After completing the sentiment I stamped my little strawberry, from the T4TD ‘Treat Yourself‘ set, multiple times, in a random fashion, with MFT Cement Grey ink. I then coloured them in with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers for that no-line look. 

To create the background layers I have used one sheet from the T4TD ‘Joyful Winter‘ 6×6 paper pad. I adhered this with double sided tape, but for my main layer I popped it up on some foam tape.

SIMPLE YES! 😉

Watercolour Easter Wishes

Hello and happy last Friday in March! DT Annalisa here sharing a watercolour Easter card featuring the Mini Egg Pattern Stencil and Eggstra Special Birthday stamp set.

To create the background, I soaked the Evergreen Bough, Chipped Sapphire, and Wilted Violet Distress Watercolor Pencils in water to soften them. Then, I scribbled the colors onto the back of the Mini Egg Pattern Stencil and spritzed it with water. After pressing it onto Distress Watercolor Cardstock by Ranger, I let the stencil sit for a while before removing it and heat-setting it.

Next, I added splatters using the same watercolor pencils and adhered the panel to a card base with double-sided tape. I then glued a frame made from white cardstock that I had die-cut with the Five Windows Cover Die over the watercolor panel.

I die-cut black cardstock using the Easter Wishes Large sentiment die for the sentiment. I also die-cut the sentiment in white cardstock two additional times. I used liquid glue to stack the layers together, creating dimension. I attached the sentiment to the card base with liquid glue.

I stamped and colored several images from the Eggstra Special Birthday set using Copic markers. After cutting them out with their coordinating dies, I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. Additionally, the bird is from the Ewe Are Moovellous set.

To finish the card, I used thin 1mm double-sided foam tape to adhere the stamped elements.

Lucky To Have You as a Friend

 

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! Spring is finally here, and I'm excited to share a bright mini slimline card to celebrate. I created it using the Good Luck Critters and Mini Slimline Scallop Dies.

For the sky background, I sprayed Distress Spritz in Peacock Feathers and Distress Spray Stain in Salvaged Patina onto acetate. I then sprayed water on top and pressed it onto watercolour cardstock.

For the grass, I soaked Crushed Olive and Peeled Paint Distress Watercolor Pencils in water, scribbled them onto acetate, and spritzed the acetate with water. Next, I pressed the acetate onto watercolour paper, heat-setting it and spritzing it with water as needed.

I trimmed the sky and grass sections and used liquid glue to attach them to the back of the Mini Slimline Scallop Dies, which I die-cut from white cardstock.

I added double-sided foam tape to this panel and adhered it to a 6 1/2 by 3 1/2 inch card base.

For the focal points, I stamped and coloured several images from the Good Luck Critters set using Copics, and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added accents with a white gel pen using a Gelly Roll Pen.

The flowers are from the Ewe Are The Best set, and the butterfly is from the Kitty Capers set. I used foam tape to adhere the stamped elements other than the flowers, which I used liquid glue to adhere.

Lots Of Luck Shaker

 

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! Saint Patrick's Day is on Monday, so I am sharing a lucky green shaker card. It features the Lots of Luck Large Sentiment Die and Good Luck Critters stamp set from Time For Tea Designs.

I used Twisted Citron, Mowed Lawn Oxide Sprays and Peacock Feathers Distress Spritz on watercolour cardstock and added shimmer black watercolour paint splatters for interest. Once the panel was dry, I cut it out using a stitched rectangle die and then die-cut into it with the Lots of Luck Large Sentiment Die, making sure to save the inner parts of the letters.

I used double-sided tape to adhere acetate to the back of the green panel. I then used liquid glue to stick the inside of the letters of the 'Lots of Luck' sentiment onto the acetate.

Using a Beautiful Blender Brush, I ink-blended Squeezed Lemonade onto a piece of yellow patterned paper from the Gorgeous Gingham 6x6' Paper Pad. I secured this to a card base with double-sided tape.
  

I placed sequins on the yellow patterned paper and secured the green panel on top using double-sided foam tape.

I stamped several images from the Good Luck Critters stamp set and coloured them with Copic markers. I added white gel pen accents and then die-cut the images with the coordinating dies.

Finally, I used liquid glue to stick the stamped images to the card.

🐰 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! ❤️
