Hi everyone!! I hope you're having a great weekend.
Jo here with one of the cards we made during our last FB Live.
Please be sure to watch the edited video below if you missed it!
I had the pre-cut piece of cardstock, the vellum scalloped circle and the HEY die cut sentiment leftover from previous projects.
I loved the two vellum pieces together and the scalloped background worked well with the circle so I decide to bring them all together on this project.
The Butterflies Stamp set is so pretty and perfect for summer cards.
I added a bit of sparkle to some of the elements too just to finish.
Details of the items I used are listed below.
I hope you enjoyed todays card.
Please join us on Facebook every Thursday at 8pm for more Crafting Live shows with me and Ant :)
Hello Vic here today with my very first post! I’m so excited to be part of this awesome team! I have my first video tutorial to share with you all today.
I started by first ink blending some plain white card using distress Ink. This will be the background.
I then stamped all my images and coloured them in with copic markers, using the coordinating dies I adhered some washi tape to the dies before running them through my die cutting machine.
I then adhered the ink blended piece of card to my card base using some double sided tape. Once this is complete I started on my sentiment. I stamped the sentiment onto a piece of pink card using some Versamark ink and then sprinkled some white embossing powder over this. I then heat set the sentiment with my heat gun. Trim the sentiment down and adhere to your card using some foam pads.
I then adhered all the die cut images onto my card.
To finish the card off I added some sparkly glitter glue to the hat, flower and butterflies.
Your card is now complete.
Thank you so much for watching and stopping by today,
Hi all! I hope everyone is well this Friday evening!
Jo here with our edited version of last nights Facebook Tutorial.
It's almost Mother's Day here in the UK so I really wanted to create a Spring themed card that would be ideal to send to my mum!
Check out the video below for more detail on how I put together this fun Shaker Card.
Our new Hooray Cover Plate Die has a this fabulous sentiment Die which is a significant size to create a focal point on the front of your project.
I decided to use this die to create my shaker element. I used a piece of our A5 Super Smooth Cardstock for my background. My grass and fluffy clouds were achieved using the Sunny Side Up Again Stencil which is a fabulously versatile stencil for creating scenes.
I added a fine spray of water and then some flicks of acrylic paint in white to add some extra texture to my background.
My images are from the Butterflies Stamp and Coordinating die set. This is such an adorable set and perfect for this time of year.
I stamped the images on the same A5 Super Smooth Cardstock which is 300gsm so a really good weight. I stamped them with my Memento Tuxedo Black Ink and then coloured them with my Copic Markers.
My card base was created from an A4 piece or our Moon Mist Cardstock. I used my scoreboard to fold this in half. My background panel was trimmed down so that a small border of my grey card base can be seen around the edge.
I cut my sentiment from the background panel. The letters were stuck directly to my card base so they can be seen through the aperture I created. I then added a strip of acetate behind my sentiment aperture.
Before attaching my background to my card base I stamped my secondary sentiment "enjoy your day" which is from the Hip Hop Hooray Stamp set.
I added two layers of foam tape to my card base, completely surrounding my sentiment letters. This created my 'well' for my sequins. The double layer means that my sequins will have enough room to move around freely when the card is being shaken.
I added my sequins into the 'well' then removed the backing from tape and adhered my background panel.
I then added all my images. My butterflies were given some sparkle to their wings with my Stardust Stickles.
I also added some glossy accents and Nuvo Crystal Drops to finish off my scene.
Be sure to check out the video to see my shaker card in full sparkly shake! :)
I hope you enjoy the video and it brings a little sparkle to your day!
Don't forget you can join us for our next FB Live every Thursday evening at 8PM GMT.
Hi crafty friends! Are you ready for some new inspiration from Time For Tea Designs? DT Jennifer here with some spring-y fun (in more ways than one!).
For my card today, I've mixed and matched a bunch of stamps, dies and stencils to create this fun spring scene!
To create this happy card, I first cut a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock. This will be the base piece for creating this scene. I had envisioned the sunrays in the background of the card, with 2 "spotlights" where we can see the fairy flying down towards the flower and the second, larger spotlight where the bunnies are enjoying the flower.
I stamped all my images, and cut the flower with the coordinating dies. I ran all the rest of the images through my Scan N Cut and cut them all out. Then I colored everything that needed it using Copic markers, added stickles and Wink of Stella and set aside.
Now comes the fun part - building the scene! I first placed the Large Circle Masking Stencil over my ground section, taped off the grass, and added clouds using the Sunny Side Up stencil, my Beautiful Blender Brushes, and Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide Inks. I flipped the tape around and laid the base for the grass using Twisted Citron. Then I went over it in layers using the grass cut out side of the stencil and Mowed Lawn ink. I removed all of that masking and laid the Small Circle Masking die over the upper right corner to do a little more cloudy sky background for my fairy element.
Next I used the negative of the stencils and masked off both of the sections I just made. This is to protect them from getting sunrays over the top of them. First, I taped off a straight line and added more hazy grass using Mowed Lawn ink, and oversprayed it with water from my Mini Mister to create some texture and break up the solid block. I flipped my tape to protect the new grass, and using the sunrays section of the Sunny Side Up stencil, I added lots of sunshine to the background using Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Inks.
After everything was dry, I attached the background of the scene to the red cardstock base and added the stamped elements to the scene. I've used foam tape in varying thicknesses to make things stand out a bit more.

I used both the positive of the square stencil and the negative of the heart stencil to create the center area of the card. I applied Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet Distress Oxides with my Blender Brushes. I love how you can mix and max the stencils to come up with different designs.
Next, I stamped and coloured the little critters with my copics, cut them out and adhered them to the blank insides of the hearts. I stamped the 'Happy birthday' to the top heart.
For the background, I used some patterned paper from my stash with some teal foil leaves on them (hard to see in the photo). I used some washi tape with silver foil on it to add extra detail around the center of the card.
Finally, I used liquid pearls and some enamel dots to finish up the card.
