Thinking of You Shaker Tag

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 Thinking of You Sentiment Die Set and the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies to create this project. 

For this Shaker card, the measurements were totally eyeballed. I know, shocking... So, the base is a weird size and might look a bit better if you take the time to measure. Just a suggestion. A little hindsight wisdom. I made the tag portion of the project with a tag punch. super simple. It's glued on with red line tape. I finished it off by rounding the corners with my 1" corner rounder. 

Shaker panel

I used the Time for Tea Designs Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut both pieces of cardstock in my shaker sandwich. I ink blended stripes of orange and green onto the panel in a diagonal fashion. I used low tack tape as a guide for the stripes. 

I then used the T4TD Thinking of You Sentiment die set to cut out both the sentiment itself and a window into the shaker panel. I backed the panel with acetate cut to hide nicely within the sandwich adhered flat to the underside of the top panel. 

Sentiment

 

The "thinking of you" sentiment was adhered to the back panel of the sandwich flat using liquid adhesive. This will allow it to be read more clearly through the window. It also gives some dimension to the tag.

Embellishments

I added white glitter stripes to the front panel before adding a layer of foam tape behind it. The dimension of the foam tape will create the shaker pocket. Make sure you don't leave any holes or your sequins will escape. 

The shaker pocket was filled with clear sequins to add more shine. To make it even shinier I added some silver sequin and silver twine as well as some white twine to make it pop even more. I cinched them all together using a small white clothespin. 

I hope that I've inspired you to create something today. Check out the Thinking of You Sentiment Die Set and the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies in the T4TD shop.

Snappy Birthday!

 Hello Tea Timers!

Michelle here from the Design Team with a snappy little birthday card full of fun and frosting. These two cheeky crocs have been busy baking up a celebration, and it looks like their cake is ready to party!

Supplies used:

Crocodiles - Snappy Before Coffee

Hats and Whisk - Baked With More Love

Strawberries - Birthday Cake

Cake - Eggstra Special Birthday 

I love how bright and happy this scene turned out. The yellow brick wall gives everything a cheerful backdrop, and the pink gingham border adds a sweet finishing touch. Of course, the cake had to be strawberry-topped and frosted in pink to match the playful vibe.

The sentiment says it all. It's a snappy birthday kind of card, perfect for anyone who enjoys puns, pastries or a bit of giggle. 

Thanks for stopping by today. I hope this little card made you smile!

Watercolour Ocean Scene

Hello, and happy Saturday, DT Annalisa is back again today! I wish I could be out on a boat in the ocean right now. Today, I’m excited to share my project featuring the new Boat Buddies stamp set from Time For Tea Designs.

To create the front panel of the card, I used an Evergreen Bough Distress Watercolour Pencil. I soaked the pencil in water, then scribbled it on acetate, pressing it onto watercolour paper to transfer the colour. Once the panel dried, I die-cut it using the Simple Square Nesting Dies and Stitched Circle Dies.

For the background panel, I utilized Squeezed Lemonade and Saltwater Taffy Distress Watercolour Pencils. I adhered this panel to a square card base with liquid glue. 

I stamped several images from the Boat Buddies stamp set, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I added accents with a white gel pen from a Gelly Roll Pen. The compass and birds were from the Adventure Awaits stamp set.

Next, I die-cut vellum with the Ocean Waves Dies and colored it with a blue Copic marker. I used liquid glue to attach it to the back of the blue-green watercolour panel.

I stuck the boat to the card base using liquid glue and stamped the sentiment and birds above it. I then used double-sided foam tape to adhere the blue-green panel to the card base.

Finally, I used liquid glue to attach the remaining stamped images in the four corners of the card base.

Summer Adventures

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here. Summer has arrived and is the perfect time for road trip adventures! Today, I’m sharing a card featuring the Adventure Awaits stamp set and its' coordinating dies.

To create the background, I die-cut watercolour paper using the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies. I added Embossing Paste through the Snowfall 6x6” Stencil with a palette knife. Once it dried, I added Distress Watercolour Pencils in the colours Evergreen Bough and Chipped Sapphire, and then I added splatters using the same colours for added interest.

I created a card base from white cardstock and adhered the colored panel using liquid glue.

I stamped images and the sentiment from the Adventure Awaits set and cut them out with the coordinating dies. I colored the images with Copics and added highlights with a white gel pen.

Finally, I attached the images to the card using glue and double-sided tape.

Adventure awaits!

 Hey friends! It’s Safia here today sharing a fun and cute card featuring the Car Critters stamp set and dies. This set is so adorable and I love that the car is so big it fits on most of the page. 

For this card I started off my coloring in my images using my COPIC markers. Once the pieces were all die cut out I created a background using a stencil that I have in my stash. Stencils make it so incredibly fun to create fun and simple backgrounds. 

Once it was all done, I arranged all of the pieces onto my backdrop and added a greeting. This card was made just in time for school to be over and I’m so looking forward to the adventures of summer! I hope you are too 🩷

Rain or Shine Card

Hi, design team member Koren Wiskman here!

I hope I can inspire you to create something fun with all of these awesome T4TD supplies. Today, I’m using the Rain or Shine Mice Stamp Set and Coordinating Dies to create this project.

Card Details

The card size is A2 (4.25" x 5.5"). The front panel is cut to 3.25" x 4.75"—my favorite size card to create. I’ve tried 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

For this background, I took inspiration from one of my favorite Disney artists, David Buckley (@dbuckleyart) on Instagram. He inspired the card I’m making today.

The card panel is cut from watercolor paper. I drew the black lines for the ground with a Copic 0.5 black pen. I used watercolors to drip patches of color for the ground and sky. These same colors were used to color the images as well

Focal Images

I stamped the images from the Rain or Shine Mice Stamp Set by Time for Tea Designs onto watercolor paper using waterproof black ink. Because watercolor paper has a lot of texture, I used a stamp positioner for accuracy.

The images were then painted using watercolors and very small brushes. The aqua shade has a bit of iridescence, and when you move the card, it glimmers in the light. I used the Rain or Shine Mice Coordinating Dies to cut them out. Everything is popped up using foam squares

Sentiment

I stamped the first part of the sentiment—also from the Rain or Shine Mice Stamp Set—directly onto the watercolor paper. The second part was stamped onto a coordinating aqua shade of heavyweight cardstock and heat embossed with white embossing powder. It was also cut out using the coordinating dies.

I hope I’ve inspired you to create something today.

The One Where You're Awesome!

 Hello Everyone!

Michelle from the Design Team and this week I am super excited to share a fun and heartwarming pop-up box card with the sweetest little friends gathered together for a cosy catch-up. Any guesses to what inspired this?!

Supplies used:

Hey There Critters

Sofa & Lamp - Home Is Where the Heart Is

Fountain - Birthday Cake

Umbrellas - Rain or Shine Mice

I started with a pop-up box card base using a rich purple cardstock which adds a lovely depth to the scene. I then ink blended a grass panel and gave it a light splatter to add texture and interest.

For the background, I created a magical night sky using ink blending in blues and purples. I added some gold and white splatters for a touch of starlight sparkle, and tucked in a layered city skyline to set the scene. 

Right in the centre is of course the fountain that was created from some strategic frankensteining from the top of the wine bottle and partial stamping of the cake stand from the Birthday Cake stamp set. I hand drew the water coming out of at top and added some glitter to give it the extra shimmer. I did think about not including the fountain but I love how it brings the whole design together and gives it that extra special touch!

The real stars of the show are the adorable critters all coloured in with alcohol markers, all snuggled up on the comfiest yellow couch (I forgot what the original colour was!) I couldn’t forget about adding some of the extra details like the lamp and the colourful umbrellas in this iconic scene. I’ll let you decided which critter is which famous character!

For the sentiment, I made a custom one based on the naming convention of each of the episodes using a white gel pen on a banner cut from black cardstock.

I absolutely loved making this Friends inspired card! Could it BE any cuter and I hope it brought a smile to your face!

Thanks for reading,

Michelle

🌵 Cacti Critters 🌵

Hello Sweet Friends. I’m back today with a new card featuring the ‘Cacti Critters’ stamp and coordinating die set from the NEW Time for Tea Designs release, alongside the ‘Sweet Summer’ 6×6 paper pad.

Making the Card:

To create this card, I cut out a piece of white card and stamped my chosen sentiment at the top using versafine Onyx Black ink. I chose a sheet of the ‘Sweet summer‘ 6×6 paper pad and cut it down to fit 1/3 of my card base. I used double sided tape to adhere my base to the card.

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. then added some enamel dots from the ‘Festive Fun’ set.

Summer Gardening Scene

Happy first day of Summer 2025! DT Annalisa here and I’m excited to share a fun gardening-themed card featuring the new Cacti Critters from Time For Tea Designs. I absolutely love the bunny with his watering can!

To create the background, I sprayed Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Spray onto the Flirty Flowers Stencil and then pressed it onto watercolour paper. After removing the stencil, I spritzed the panel with water and added splatters using Mowed Lawn Distress Watercolour Pencil.

Next, I die-cut white cardstock with the Five Windows Cover Die to create a white frame, which I adhered to the green panel using liquid glue. I then attached this to a card base.

For the soil area, I used Ground Espresso, Walnut Stain, and Scorched Timber Distress Watercolour Pencils on watercolour paper. I glued a slim strip of this paper to the bottom of the largest window frame.

I stamped several images, colored them with Copic markers, and added white gel pen accents. The sets I used, along with their coordinating dies, include Cacti Critters, Boat Buddies, Hey There Critters, Fruitful Friends, Ewe Are The Best, and Ewe Are Moovellous.

Finally, I used liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to attach the images to the card base, and I added Stickles to some of them to complete the card.

Rain or Shine Mice

 Hey Crafters! It’s Safia here from the DT today sharing a card I made using the Rain or Shine mice stampset and dies. I think this set is so unbelievably cute and I loved creating just a clean and simple design to really make this set shine.

I started off my using my COPIC markers to do some coloring and then I used a stencil to create a little puddle on my background panel. Then I just arranged everything the way I wanted and stamped my greeting.

I really love how this turned out. Sometimes clean and simple cards are just the way to go! I hope you have enjoyed this card. If you do decide to shop don’t forget to use my code T4TSAF10 at checkout to get 10 percent off your entire order!

You Are My Anchor and Super Shiny

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 Boat Buddies 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. I often use foam squares for my dimension. These two details about my cards rarely change. 

Background

I ink blended a little green and blue inks to create this blue green ocean mist in the background of this panel. Focusing the color towards the top for a sky. I kept the bottom white because I was adding waves. I cut only two waves from a set in my stash. I have many waves but I really like these. I cut them from a blue green cardstock to continue the color scheme. 

Sentiment 

I stamped the sentiment on the same blue green cardstock I used for the waves. I heat embossed it in white and cut it into a strip using the small non-stitched rectangle die from the Time for Tea Designs Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle dies. 

Focal Image

This image is adorable. It is from the T4TD Boat Buddies Stamp Set. I stamped it onto alcohol maker paper and colored the image using alcohol markers. I then cut it out using the Coordinating Dies. 

Embelishments

I have a small stash of anchors in my embellishment drawer. I love nautical cards because I grew up in a nautical town. I used one on this card. I attached it using some natural twine. Everything on this card except for the anchor was sprayed with three types of shimmer spritz. I wanted it to be shiny and feel like the mist off of the water. 

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

Out of this World!

 Hello Tea Timers!

Michelle from the Design Team and today’s card is something out of this world using a stamp set from the new release. We have two kitties off on a galactic space adventure with a little mouse stowaway in tow!

Supplies used:

• Adventures Awaits!
• Stars - Happy Trails
• Planets - Simple Circle Dies, Home Is Where The Heart Is

When I saw this stamp set, I had a million and one ideas in my head! I knew I wanted to do something different and I had also been wanting to do something space themed and so this was the perfect opportunity to combine the two together.

To make the card, the background is an ink blend of Wilted Violet, Chipped Sapphire, Twisted Citron and Black Soot Distress Oxides - when ink blending, it looks like a mess but trust the process! I then added an abundance of metallic silver water colour splatters to give it the outer space feel.

As usual, all the images where stamped, coloured with alcohol markers and highlighted with a white gel pen. To give some details on how I created the planets, they were done by tracing the inner circles of the 2 smallest Simple Circle Dies with a black finer and then adding 'planet' details. For the rings around the planets, they are are actually the rug from the Home Is Where The Heart Is stamp set with the middle part cut out - shop your stash as sometimes the most unlikely stamp is just the one you need!

As there was already a lot going on in the card, I kept the sentiment simple but still visible by using white heat embossing powder on black cardstock.

Everything was glued down with liquid glue and the main car image was propped up with some foam tape. A finishing touch of glitter was added to the stars and the rings around the planets to give it the extra shimmer.

I loved how the card turned out and I can only imagine what new things that these 2 explorers have seen! I hope you enjoyed this adventure too.

Thanks for reading,

Michelle
