Thinking Of You Sloths

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, and today I'm sharing a thinking-of-you card for someone going through a hard time. It features a sweet sloth stamp set, a frame die set, and a stencil from T4T.

To begin, I ink-blended Salvaged Patina Distress Oxide Ink through the Scene Builder 6x6 Stencil using a blending brush. I then added splatters with the same Distress Oxide Ink to create extra dimension and interest in the background. Once it was dry, I adhered the sky panel to an A2 card base with liquid glue.

Next, I used the Smile Inverted Scallop Frame Dies to die-cut a frame from white cardstock. I adhered the frame to the card base with liquid glue, leaving a small section free of adhesive where the focal images would be placed so I could tuck them underneath the frame.

I stamped the images from the Be Slothy Clear Stamp Set and die-cut them using the coordinating die set. After colouring them with Copic markers, I added highlights with a white gel pen before adhering them to the card with liquid glue.

To finish the card, I stamped a "thinking of you" sentiment and added three red die-cut hearts for a simple pop of colour.

Interactive Coffee Catch Up

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, and I’m sharing a fun, interactive critter card featuring stamps, dies, and stencils from Time For Tea Designs. It creates such a cute little scene of critter friends catching up over coffee.

The die I used is from Lawn Fawn and is called the Ta-Da Diorama. I followed the instructions in Lawn Fawn’s intro video, cutting out all of the necessary elements. For the front panels, I used a blending brush to ink-blend Pumice Stone Distress Ink over the Tiled Wall 6 x6" Stencil. To add extra interest, I finished the panels with splatter using water, Distress Ink, and a paintbrush.

For the back panel, I ink-blended Tumbled Glass Distress Ink over the cloud section of the 6x6 Scene Builder stencil, then used Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Inks for the ground. Once again, I added splatter with water and Distress Inks. I love how this extra step adds texture and dimension to the card.

After all of the ink blending was complete, I assembled the diorama by following the video instructions.

Next, I stamped and colored the critters and supporting elements with Copics to build the scene. I used the Café Critters and Snappy Before Coffee Clear Stamp Sets, cutting the images out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen highlights with a Gelly Roll pen for a final pop.

To finish the project, I used liquid glue to adhere the images to the 3D card.

Sweet Days with You

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here today sharing a bright pink card I created with the adorable Sweet Cart Critters. This is such a fun stamp set, I love the little critter heads that pop up inside the cart.

I ink-blended kitsch flamingo and picked raspberry Distress Oxide on Distress Watercolor Cardstock by Ranger. I added splatter with picked raspberry Distress Ink, Copic opaque white, watercolour and a paintbrush. Once the panel was dry, I die-cut it with the A2 Stitched Hearts Cover Die.

I ink-blended tumbled glass (sky), twisted citron and mowed lawn (grass) Distress Ink over the 6x6 Scene Builder stencil onto an A2 card base with my Beautiful Blender Brushes. I added white splatter with a paintbrush, water and Copic opaque white.

I did some creative masking with the Sweet Cart Critters stamp set - stamping the raccoon first, kitty next, candy jars and finally the cart - masking each one as I went along.

I coloured the images with my Copics and added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. I cut the little scene with my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e.

I stamped the 'days with you are so sweet' and cut it out with the coordinating die set. The butterfly is from the Kitty Capers stamp set.

I used double-sided foam tape to adhere everything to the card (other than the small butterfly).

Let's Party!

Hey there, Tea Timers!!  It's Amanda here with a super fun card using some products from the New Release!  I created this card with the new Let's Party Stamps & Dies!

First, I created my background by blending Catherine Pooler Shea Butter Ink with the 6x6 Scene Builder and 6x6 Beach Scene Builder Stencils.

Next, I stamped my images from the Let's Party Stamps and then colored them with Copic markers.  I cut them out with the coordinating dies.  I used 3D foam squares to adhere the stamped images to my panel. 

That's all I have to share with you today!  Enjoy the upcoming weekend and I hope you find some time to get crafty!!  xx, Amanda

 

 

Hey there, Tea Timers!!  It's Amanda here and today I am sharing a sweet little birthday card!

I stamped my images from the Just Married, Eggstra Special Birthday, and Good Luck Critters stamp sets.  I colored these little cuties with Copic markers and then die cut them out with the coordinating dies.

For my background, I created my one-layer background using the 6x6 Scene Builder Stencil.  I adhered my critters and sentiment onto my card panel with 3D foam squares.

I added a few sequins to give it a little extra pizazz!

And that is it for me today!!  Thank you so much for stopping by the Time for Tea Designs blog today!  I hope you find some time to get crafty today!

Holy Moley! It's Your Birthday!

 

Hey there, Tea Timers!!  It's Amanda here and today I get to show you how I put together this little birthday card!

First, I created my one-layer background using the 6x6 Scene Builder Stencil.  For the dirt, I used Catherine Pooler's Sand Castle ink.  For the grass, I used Melon Ice.  For the sky, I blended Minted and Shea Butter.

I stamped the fence and flowers from the Ewe Are the Best stamp set.  I stamped the rest from the I Really Dig You stamp set.  I colored all my images with Copic markers and added white highlights with a Gelly Roll pen.

After die cutting my images using the coordinating die sets, I attached them to the front of my card using 3D foam squares.

And THAT is how I created this cute little scene!  Thank you so much for stopping by the Time for Tea Designs blog today!  I hope you find some time to get crafty today!

Flying by to Say THANK YOU!

Hey there, Tea Timers!!  It's Amanda back with a super sweet card featuring the Love is in the Air stamp set!

To create this card, I started by creating my background!  I blended Catherine Pooler's Sixteen Candles, It's a Girl, Do-Si-Do and Bellini inks through the 6x6 Scene Builder Stencil cloud side.

Next, I stamped and colored my images with Copic markers.  I used their coordinating dies to cut them out.

I stamped my sentiment directly onto my card front.

Then, I used liquid glue and 3D foam squares to attach my stamped images to my card front.

For a finishing touch, I added some Clear Bubbles Enamel Dots.

And then, I used liquid glue to adhere my card front to my card base!

Here are a few more close-up images!
