Warm Hugs - Birthday Card

 Happy Wednesday Crafters! It’s Safia here joining you today for my weekly design team project. This week I decided to use the Warm Hugs Digi Stamps to create my project today and I just love it. I’ve saved the remaining stamps to create a second card so stay tuned for that! To start my card I colored in my chosen images using my COPIC markers

I then cut out my frame with white cardstock and picked some patterned paper in my stash to match. Luckily I had some coffee themed paper and I chose these two patterns to add to my card. This paper also inspired my color pallet.

To finish off my card I cut out the greeting using my trimmer. I found some petal pink card stock scrap and used it to make a ribbon to hide behind my greeting. This is a great way to use up those little slices of cardstock! I then glued everything down and added some Shimmery Effects to the pink areas of the card to finish it off. I hope you will give this a try. Let me know if you do! I have also made a short reel on how this card was made, visit my Instagram page to see it now! Cheers!

Moovelous Birthday

Hello everyone! Jill (@tinytreasureworkshop) here today sharing an adorable farm card! 

To create this card,  I used the Ewe are Moovelous stamp set.  I colored in the images with alcohol markers and cut them out. I ink blended the white panel blue ink to resemble the sky and used foam tape to arrange the images in a cute scene.  

A quick and adorable card that will make anyone smile!

Simple Fruitiful Friends

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 Frutiful Friends Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies 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. 

Background

This background was made by taking one of the Time for Tea Designs Scalloped Circle Dies and one of the Simple Stitched Circle Dies and layering them with some creative ink blending onto my card panel. Each layer is popped up with foam tape to add dimension. 

Sentiment

The final or top layer on the background also house my sentiment. "I miss you" from the Time for Tea Designs Let's Chat Stamp Set was stamped directly onto the grass in waterproof black ink before adding it to the stack. 

Focal Images

The bunny and the bee are both from the Time for Tea Designs Fruitiful Friends Stamp Set and I cut them out using theCoordinating Dies. I used colored pencils to color these small images. I love love love that you have a bee trail to provide some movement in your scene. 

I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Frutiful Friends Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies in the T4TD shop.

Birthday Party Photo!

Hello Everyone! 

Michelle from the Design Team here and today, I bring you a birthday party photo with some super cute critters! I have used a mixture of stamps - Hey There Critters, Jumping for Joy, Let's Party and Eggstra Special Birthday showing how well they mix and match with each other.

As usual, I stamped and coloured all my images with alcohol markers and added highlights with a white gel pen.

Next, I cut a square panel from teal coloured cardstock and then using Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide, I stamped the large balloon (Hey There Critters), the present and the party swirls and twirls (Lets Party) randomly, giving a tone on tone background.

To make the polaroid, the frame was cut from white cardstock. For the background, this was created by using a brick stencil and ink blending Mustard Seed Distress Oxide. The blue wooden floor was a strip cut from the Joyful Winter paper pad.

I heat embossed the sentiment with white embossing powder onto the same coloured teal cardstock as the main background and cut it down to size.

Once I had all the pieces, I put my scene together using liquid glue and foam pads to give it extra dimension and for the critters to appear to be popping out of the card. I also took extra care to make sure all the critters were in the photo and no party hats were in the way!

I hope you all enjoy this card as much as I do.

Happy Crafting,

Michelle

Thinking of Ewe

Hey all! Jill (@tinytreasureworkshop) here with today's card! Was anyone else told to count sheep when they couldn't sleep as a child? Or was that just me?

 That thought inspired this thoughtful card using the "Ewe are the Best" stampset! You could use the digital, printed cardstock, or the clear stampset to create this card.

To create this card, I first ink blended Distress Oxides in "BluePrint Sketch" and "Seedless Preserves" to create a night time sky. I masked off the bottom half of the card to leave space for the sentiment. I added some white, silver, and metallic blue splatters on the card to resemble a starry sky.

Lastly I added the fence and a jumping Ewe from the "Ewe are the Best" stampset and added the sentiment at the bottom. A simple but thoughtful card with lots of impact!

Thanks for stopping by!

Ewe Are the Best Spring Card

Hello and happy Friday from DT Annalisa! Today, I’m excited to share a beautiful spring scene featuring the Ewe Are The Best stamp set from Time For Tea Designs.

I started by die-cutting some white Distress White Heavy cardstock from Ranger using the Sweet Scalloped Dies. Then, I ink-blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide using a Beautiful Blender Brush through a cloud stencil. I added splatters of Stormy Sky Distress Oxide and water by flicking a wet paintbrush.

Next, I ink-blended another piece of Distress White Heavy cardstock with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink using a blender brush. I also created splatters on this panel using water and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide. After that, I die-cut this panel with a grass die and again used the Sweet Scalloped Dies.

I glued the grass section to the sky panel with liquid glue and then attached both to a card base.

For the focal images, I stamped images from the Ewe Are The Best, Ewe Are Moovellous and Oops a Daisy stamp sets, then cut them out using their coordinating dies. I colored the images with Copic markers and added accents with a white gel pen.

I used liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to adhere the images and sentiment to the card. Finally, I added some sparkle to various elements on the card using a Wink of Stella brush.

I hope you enjoy this cheerful spring card!

Let’s Chat - Any Occasion Card

 Hey friends! It’s Safia here today for the design team, sharing a fun any occasion card I made using the Let’s Chat stampset and dies. To be honest I picked up a bunch of scraps on my desk and thought about how I could incorporate this set into them. 

All I’ve done here is stamped out my favorite images and then colored them using my COPIC markers to match the colors on the patterned paper. For my greeting I just heat embossed it and then cut it into a banner shape. 

For the end of the card I just added some clear rhinestones to bring out the white in the card. This card was so easy and so fun to make! Let me know if you use the scraps on your desk to create your next makes!

Squeeze the Day Gatefold Card

Hello everyone! Jill here today sharing a cute gatefold card.  To create this card,  I first used the Geometric Snowflakes Coverplate die and cut that out using white cardstock.  I inkblended the center of it with a brown ink,  diffusing it as it got away from the center. 

Next,  I attached the coverplate to another white cardstock and cut in half vertically.  This will make our gate fold opening.  I attached that to a card base that had folds on both sides so that it can open at the center. 

 

I used images and sentiments from the "Squeeze the Day" stampset as the focal image on the front and I also used them on the inside for a little extra touch.

Thanks for stopping by!

Let's Party with Stars and Stripes

Hi. Design team member Koren Wiskman here. I hope that I can inspire you to create something fun with all of these awesome T4T supplies. Today I am using the Let's Party sentiment die and the Stars Stitched cover die 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. 

Background

I had some scrap strips of paper in various colors that I adhered to a piece of copy paper using a tape runner. I then cut the stars from the Time for Tea Designs Stars Stitched cover die. I also cut the stars from heavy weight white cardstock. The white stars are cut in half and then popped up on the the striped stars using thin foam adhesive squares. The where added the the front card panel using various widths of adhesive foam squares. 

Sentiment

The T4TD Let's Party sentiment die was cut three times using heavy weight cardstock and layered on top of a layer cut from pink paper. I offset the pink paper at the back of the stack of layered die cuts to create a shadow effect. It also helps the sentiment stand out with all of the white. I told you that I like my white space, I warned you. 

Embellishments

The asterisk like pieces decorating the background are from my stash. I am really interested in using what is in my stash right now. I have so much. I want to use it, even if you can't buy it anymore. 

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

A Moovellous Birthday!

Hello Everyone!

Michelle here with a box card using the Ewe are Moovellous stamp set.

First, I cut all the pieces of the box frame from some orange gingham patterned cardstock. I used a die set from my stash but the Box Clever Die Set and cutting down 3 of the sides will achieve the same results.

For the background section of the card, I trimmed down 2 extra smaller panels of white cardstock. With the smaller panel, I ink blended sun rays using yellow ink and splattered gold water colour on top. Once this was dry, I adhered this to the larger panel making sure that there was an even border, giving it a framed look.

I then die cut 3 hills from white cardstock and blended on light and dark green ink.

For the images, stamped and coloured them with alcohol markers and added white highlights. For the little egg, I added some feet with a black fineliner to make it extra cute and the fence is 4 of the original fences glued together! 

The balloons and party hats are from the now retired Hooray Hamsters stamp set but you could use the same elements from the Birthday Fox stamp set instead.

The sentiment was created by stamping each of the words onto white cardstock and using a black finer liner, I drew the fish tail banner around it. I added some extra dots at the start and end of it of the sentiment banner so that it matched the style of the fence. 

Once I had all the pieces ready and second guessing to whether I had enough balloons or not, I assembled the entire scene with liquid glue making sure each tier of the card was high or low enough that all the feature images could be clearly seen.

Whilst this card takes a little more time and effort to create, it's a great birthday scene and it makes me very happy.

Have a moovellous day!

Michelle

🌼 Oh Happy Daisy 🌼

Hello Tea Timers, DT Emma here and I’m back today to share with you this super cute scene card.

I have used the Time for Tea Designs ‘Oops A Daisy’ digital stamp set alongside the ‘6×6 Scene Builder’ Stencil.

Making the card:

To create this card I have masked off a round section on some white card stock. 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.

To colour my image, I printed it off on to some Crafters Companion Solar White card stock. Just like last week, I made sure the opacity was very low so I could use the no-line technique. I then coloured them in with my Spectrum Noir Tri-Blend markers and fussy cut them out with my EK Success Cutter Bee Scissors.

I have used some foam tape to attach the cat to my card base and add dimension, I have also added some of the Festive Fun enamel dots.

For the sentiment I have printed it onto some scrap white card and then cut it down to size with my paper trimmer. I popped it with some foam tape.

Thinking of Ewe Scalloped Circle Card

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! Today, I'm excited to share a vibrant Spring scalloped card featuring the Ewe Are The Best stamp set. I created the shaped card using the Scalloped Circle Dies.

I ink-blended Uncharted Mariner Distress Oxide ink onto white cardstock, which I then die-cut with the Scalloped Circle Dies. I attached this inked panel to a card base of the same size using liquid glue.

Next, I die-cut a large circle using the Stitched Circle Dies. For the sky and grass, I ink-blended Tumbled Glass, Twisted Citron, and Mowed Lawn through some stencils from my collection. I added splatter to the sky with Salvaged Patina Distress Spray Stain and to the grass with Rustic Wilderness Distress Oxide.

I used double-sided tape to attach the circle panel to the card base.

I stamped images from the Ewe Are The Best, Ewe Are Moovellous and Oops a Daisy stamp sets and colored them with Copic markers. I then used their coordinating dies to cut them out and added accents with a white gel pen.

To complete the scene, I adhered the stamped images and the sentiment to the card using a combination of liquid glue and double-sided foam tape.

Squeeze the Day Birthday Card

 Hey friends, it’s Safia here today sharing a fun and colorful card I made using the ‘Squeeze the Day’ stamp set and dies. I started off by first stamping the wide fruit stamp tone on tone yellow to create my own patterned paper. 

I then stamped the fruit stamp and the little mouse and pineapple and colored in the images using my COPIC markers. I embossed my greeting on black card stock for an additional little pop and then started to glue everything down to my card base.

I added a piece of scrap vellum that I had laying around to make the colored pieces really pop. I finished my card by adding some black embellishments. I thought this card turned out beautifully. Let me know what you think in the comments!

Easter Wishes Shaker

Hello everyone! Jill here sharing an adorable shaker perfect for the Easter holiday ahead!

For this card,  I used the "Easter Wishes" die to create a cutout on the card panel.  I ink blended the back panel with pink and orange and used foam tape to create a shaker well for the sequins and beads.  Next, I used the "Oops a Daisy" stampset and colored in the images with alcohol markers.  I placed them around the sentiment and added some "bee trail lines' with black marker.
