Rainbow of Cookies

 

Hello everyone and happy Friday, DT Annalisa here. The brand new Time For Tea Designs release dropped today - yippee! - and I am sharing a rainbow of Jammy Dodgers using the Tearrific Pals stamp set. My mum knows this is one of my favourite treats and often makes them for me, thanks, mum! Be sure to check out the rest of the new release over on the T4T website.

I stamped six cookies and coloured them with my Copics. I cut them out, including the heart in the center and set them aside. 

I used the two larger dies in the Slimline Scalloped Trio Circle Nesting Dies to die-cut some blue-coloured cardstock as well as some rainbow patterned paper by Lawn Fawn. I adhered these together using liquid glue.

Next, I stamped the 'I miss your face' sentiment from the Be Kind Be You Clear Stamp Set and cut it out using the coordinating die set. I used the same die set to cut the word 'hello' from the same blue cardstock that I used for the base of the card.

I stuck the cookies in rainbow order to the card and then adhered the sentiments as well. To finish the card I added some Stardust Stickles.

I hope you like this card and would love it if you could use T4TANNALISA10 for 10% off your order the next time you purchase anything from Time For Tea Designs.

Happy Easter Monday everyone! 🐤

It is Natalia here today, sharing with you my very first set of cards as part of the T4TD DT team - I am buzzing! 

I must admit, I wasn't sure which sentiment I wanted to use, I just love them all, and this is why I ended up with two cards - that was not the original plan. I am glad I did though, because I really like them both!

For these cards I used the T4TD Be Kind Be You Clear Stamp Set and Be Kind Be You Coordinating Die Set. I think this is a really versatile set as there's so many not only stamp sentiments but word die cuts too! The most amazing thing is that you can buy these as a set under the Limited edition collections section over at the shop and save some money - yay! 

Now, let's get into the details on how I made these two cards!

Firstly, I picked my Distress Oxide inks for the cards. I chose a rainbow palette as I thought they would make the cards bright and happy:

• Abandoned coral
• Ripe persimmon
• Dried marigold
• Squeezed lemonade
• Twisted citron
• Broken china
• Kitsch flamingo
• Wilted violet

Initially I was not sure on the card sizes so I inked blended a section big enough for my coordinating dies twice from the same colour on scrap paper. 

Let's talk about the blending brushes I used! There are some brushes that arrive slightly blemished but work perfectly fine. They are a whooping 60% off the regular price and you can find them here.

Once my ink blending was dry and safe to do some heat embossing on, I applied some anti-static powder onto it, stamped the LOVE and Hugs Enclosed sentiment with VersaMark ink and used WOW regular embossing powder on them. I did the same with the envelope stamp, but on black cardstock. 

For the word YOU I die cut that 4 times from black cardstock and the shadow from vellum. I then die cut each rectangle and square two times per sentiment to give the card some dimension - so each of my sentiments had 3 layers on them. Same for the envelope stamp.

For the Love You card, I used an A2 card base, and cut a smaller panel to arrange my sentiments and leave a border all around. For the Hugs enclosed card I used a square 5x5" card base and cut a panel slightly smaller only horizontally to leave some border on both sides. 

To arrange all the sentiments on my cards, I used two T-rulers - I can tell you, not even then I got them 100% straight! Who would have said I did technical drawing for years 😂

I hope you like these!

Shaker Card Video Tutorial

 Hi crafty friends! I hope you're all having a good week. 

I am sharing a fun video tutorial today where I show you how I make my shaker cards.

I love to make shaker cards and fill them up with sequins they are really fun to receive too. For my card today I used the Baked With Love Stamp Set for my critters. I seriously love these stamps and the pieces of cheese are really cute! In my video I will also show you how I copic coloured the stamps. 

For my card panel I die cut one of my favourite cover plate dies using the Stripes Cover Plate Die. I ink blended this using a Beautiful Blending Brush along with some Speckled Egg Distress Ink. I then ink blended the back panel using Kitsch Flamingo Distress Ink. I then adhered a piece of acetate to the back of the stripes die. I applied some foam tape and filled this up with sequins before adhering the panels together. 

The shaker part of your card is now complete. I then stamped my images and coloured them in, using the Baked With Love Coordinating Dies I ran them through my die cutting machine. 

For my sentiment I stamped the Hugs Enclosed from the Be Kind Be You. I used a copic marker to colour the hugs stamp. I then used the Be Kind Be You Coordinating Dies to die cut my sentiment out. Once everything was ready I adhered the images to my card using foam tape.

Your shaker card is now complete. I loved how this turned out and it's sure to put a smile on someones face.

Quick 10 Min Card - I Miss Your Face

This Love Heart Sweet inspired card is so quick and easy to make, I love it!

It is perfect for a card in a hurry or if you only have a few minutes to craft.

The supplies I needed were minimal too which is always a bonus.

The products I used for this project were:

Be Kind Be You Stamp and Coordinating Die Set

A2 Layers Die Set

Bubblegum A4 Cardstock

Space Odyssey A4 Cardstock

Distress Inks

A2 Card Blank - Bright White

WOW Embossing Ink

WOW Embossing Powder - White

T4TD Adhesive Foam Roll

T4TD Sensational Sequins - Cosmic Clear

Firstly I stamped my heart from the Be Kind be You Stamp set in Rainbow Colours. I did two rows of 3 as that worked with the rainbow colours I selected.

I used Distress Oxide Inks for the most part. The Pink was a Distress Ink in the new shade of Kitsch Flamingo. I LOVE this colour so much :)

I cut the stamped panel with my A2 layering dies as I will be mounting onto an A2 card blank.

I also cut a mat layer from the Bubblegum pink cardstock to add my stamped panel onto.

I added foam tape to the back of my mat and layer and adhered to my card base.

The sentiment is also from the Be Kind Be You Stamp set. It also comes with a coordinating banner die. I stamped the sentiment in Embossing Ink  onto Space Odyssey cardstock. I then heat set my White Embossing Powder over the top. I used the banner die to cut this out and added it to my card base with the T4TD Adhesive Foam Roll.

Finally I added a few of our Cosmic Clear Sequins to add a little of shine.

This is such a sweet card - pardon the pun! :) It was super quick and easy.

 I hope its inspired you to try something similar when you're short on crafty time too!

Love Mail

 Happy Valentines Day! DT Annalisa here sharing this adorable mailbox that I made with my Scan N Cut (using a design by Lori Whitlock) and decorated with Time For Tea Designs stamps and dies. I just love how you can put T4T images all the way around the mailbox!

The Mini Mailbox Treat Holder is from Lori Whitlock's SVG Shop which I cut with my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e. I used some bright pink and striped patterned paper for the box which I assembled using instructions on Lori's website.

To decorate the mailbox I used the Happy Mail Critters and Be Kind Be You Clear Stamp Sets as well as the 'love' sentiment from the Circle of Love Nesting Dies. I coloured the adorable images with my Copics after I had stamped and die cut them. I adhered them to the mailbox using liquid glue.

Cosy by the Fire!

 

The weekend is here and we have made it to half term whoop! That means more crafty time for this momma, so I hope your ready for more Smitten Kitten cards. Its been so cold and snowy this week I just wish I was curled up by the fire like these cuties. 

I began by cutting out the rectangle die from the Autumn Scene Cover Plate Die set and added a little Wild Honey Distress Oxide to give a warm glow and my base was ready for my scene. I coloured up the fire from the Warm Winter Wishes stamp set using some light warm greys so that the flames are the main pop of colour. The cats again I coloured up with the warm greys and added some E95, E97 and E99 for the ginger colour. When placing them on my scene I felt like it needed something else to make it look a little more cosy so stamped out the blanket from the Plaid Background Clear stamp set. I popped these all onto the card and added my sentiment from the Be Kind Be You stamp set. 

I finished my card off by mounting it on some burgundy card to match the rug and popped it on my card base. A quick and easy card for today, I hoped you like it, don't forget if you want to purchase ay of the items in the shop you can get 10% off using code T4TNATALIE10

 

Bunny Love

Happy Wednesday!

It's DT Shabneez here sharing a card made with a mixture of products which I think would be ideal for Valentine's Day. 

I began by colouring in the bunnies from the Cosy Winter Stamp Set with my Chameleon pens.  I then die cut a heart from the Scalloped Slimline Die Set and stamped the sentiment from the Bearing Gifts Stamp Set.  The 'you' and 'love you' were stamped from the Be Kind Be You Stamp Set.

I used distress oxide inks to blend an ombre background with my distress oxide inks and covered it with my Scattered Hearts Cover Plate Die die cut from white card.  I arranged the elements on the card and added a strip of pink card and one of the hearts from the die remnants to finish.
