I Love Mew - A Masculine Themed Card

Happy Wednesday!

It's DT Shabneez and I'm sharing a card that's a little more masculine as my husband doesn't appreciate cards with lots of pink, although he's more than happy to wear a pink shirt......!

Instead of inks I decided to use papers for the background as I thought they went really well with the night time scene I created.  I die cut a couple of circles from the Circle of Love Nesting Dies to create a frame.  I added a small die cut circle for the moon and the Landscape Edge Standalone Dies for the grass.  I die cut a speech bubble from the Speech Bubbles Co-ordinating Die Set and stamped 'I love mew' with the Smitten Kitten Stamp Set.

I coloured the cats image using my Chameleon pen from the same stamp set and cut them out before sticking them amongst the die cut grass.  To finish I stamped out 'Happy Anniversary'.

Wintery Paper Hugs

Happy Wednesday!

It's DT Shabneez sharing a card made using the Happy Mail Critters Stamp & Die Set.  It's such a cute set and is perfect for when you need to tell someone you are thinking of them, especially with the current lock down.

I used a sheet of the Winter Wonderland Paper Pad as the background as it went so well with the images on the stamp set and framed it with the Zig Zag Frame & Tag Die Set.

All my images were coloured with my Chameleon pens and I made a scene where the cat had to stand on a box to reach the letter box and help the bird post the letter.  I added hearts and a sentiment to finish.

Hearts & Hugs

Happy Wednesday!

It's DT Shabneez here and it has been freezing lately - we even had a day of snow on Sunday but it's since melted!  

Today I'm sharing a card made with elements from the new release Happy Mail Critters Stamp Set combining it with the Mini Frame & Banner Die Set.  I love the 'hello' and 'smile' sentiments in the stamp set and heat embossed them in white to make them stand out.

All my images were stamped and coloured with my Chameleon pens and I arranged the card on a circular base using the Circle of Love Nesting Dies on which I put a white border as all the hearts had borders so carried on with the theme.

I think it's a cute card that is suitable for anyone you've not seen in a while and that's a lot of people for me!

New Release Reveal Day 2 - Workout Pigs

Happy Wednesday!

It's DT Shabneez here wanting to know if you managed to catch Jo on Day 1 of the New Release yesterday?  If not you can catch up on the Time For Tea Designs FB page.

I don't know about you but it's so difficult to chose a favourite so far and today's new release are the wonderful Workout Pigs!

These are such a fun bunch of pigs and I especially love the sentiments that go with them.  They are sure to put a smile on your face!

I decided to make a slimline card so I could show a number of the piggies on one card.  I used the A6 Rectangle Layering Die Set to cut out 4 rectangles from the Winter Wonderland Paper Pad.  My images were all stamped and then coloured using my Chameleon pens.

I cut a couple of scalloped circle frames from the Mini Frame & Banner Die Set and added them to a couple of the rectangles before adhering my piggies.

You can catch Jo for lots more fun tonight at 8pm on YouTube!

The entire new release will be available for sale on Friday and you can get 10% off anything in store using my code T4TSHABNEEZ10.

Happy Winter Birthday

Happy Wednesday!

It's DT Shabneez sharing a Winter Birthday card made with the Winter Wishes Wreath Set.  This stamp set has a number of very useful sentiments suitable for use throughout the winter.

I think it's a great idea to send season specific birthday cards as they are unique.  For my card I stamped out the image and coloured it in using my Chameleon pens.  Next,  I die cut around the wreath using the Circle of Love Nesting Die and matted it on to a gold circle base with a striped strip of card running through the middle.  This was placed on a stitched square burgundy card base cut using the Quilted Squares Nesting Dies.

To finish the card I added some gold glitter drops to the small circles within the wreath.  They add a subtle shimmer which ties in with the gold matt.

Sending Winter Hugs

Happy New Year to you all!

It's DT Shabneez with my first post of 2021 and what a start it's been with yet another lockdown!  To make you feel better I have a card that is sending you winter hugs because I feel we all need them!

I have used the Winter Wishes Wreath Stamp in a different way by breaking the wreath up on my card and I think it looks quite effective don't you?

The wreath was stamped twice onto my card base which I die cut using the Slimline Scalloped Trio Circle Nesting Dies.  I stamped the sentiments around the wreath and coloured in the images using my Chameleon pens.

A Winter Birthday Card for Daddy

Happy Wednesday!

It's DT Shabneez sharing a card I have made for my sons to give to their Daddy on his upcoming birthday!  I've used a mix of products as all the Time for Tea Designs products co-ordinate so well together.

I had bought the It's Your Day Sentiment Die Set some time ago and just never got around to using it until now!  It's definitely a set I can see myself using a lot more as it really is very versatile and I even used it to die cut the word 'DADDY' too!  

My image from the Cosy Winter Stamp Set was stamped and coloured using my Chameleon pens and i added some glitter to the snow.  I then die cut the scalloped circle from the Spooktacular Die Set and stuck it over the top of the image and it fits perfectly!  I stuck the It's Your Day banner over the top.

To finish I stamped and die cut the 'Happy Birthday' using the Speech Bubbles Stamp & Die Set which is an absolute staple in my craft stash.

I better get the boys to write in the card and get the presents wrapped!

See you next week!

New Year Reindeer

Happy Wednesday!

It's DT Shabneez here and I don't know about you but the days seem to go faster this time of year as there seems to be so much more to do!  Today I thought I'd share a celebratory fancy fold card for the New Year using the very cute reindeer from the Happy New Year Critters Stamp & Die Set.  

I used a number of papers from the Winter Wonderland Paper Pad as they all co-ordinated so well to make the background for my card.

My images were stamped and coloured with my Chameleon pens and I added bakers twine to the balloon and tied it to the reindeer's antler for a bit of fun!  

The Let It Snow Die Set takes centre stage and was die cut in glitter card and stuck on a background cut with the very useful Rectangle Layering Dies (EU size).

Up In The Air!

Happy Wednesday!

It's DT Shabneez here sharing a card I made using the Up, Up & Away stamp set together with the Sunburst Cover Plate die and the Landscape Edge Die Set.

I'm a big fan of paper pads and have one that was just perfect for die cutting the Sunburst, giving a beautiful gradient of colour.  I die cut the clouds and stuck them underneath.

The images were stamped and coloured using my Chameleon pens - this time with the addition of the colour tops to blend easily from one colour to another.  I added glitter glue to parts of the hot air balloon and in between the sunburst.

Feeling Under The Weather

Happy Wednesday!

It's DT Shabneez here with a card that I think is very appropriate for the current British weather and just in case you've missed the real rainbows I've added one to my card!

I cut and coloured the cute cat with the umbrella from the All Occasion Critter set with my Chamelon pens and stamped and die cut the sentiment from the same set.  I die cut the rainbow from the Storms Don't Die set and coloured it with distress inks.  I then stamped and die cut the clouds from the same set.

Finally, for the background I used distress oxide inks through the Scene It and the Splish Splash stencils.  I added spatters of water to the puddle to make it look a little more realistic!

Sparkly Unicorn!

Happy Thursday!

It's DT Shabneez here with a sneak peek of the Sparkle Cover Plate die together with the Unicorn stamp set that are coming to Create & Craft tomorrow at 3.45pm so don't miss the Show with Jo!

The Sparkle Cover plate die is very versatile and perfect for any backgrounds.  In fact all you need to add is sentiment and you're done!  Of course I couldn't just do that so I added one of the unicorns from the new Unicorns in Training stamp set together with a sentiment.

I decided to go all pink for the unicorn with my Chameleon pens apart from the horn and I die cut the cover plate in gold mirri card.

I hope you're enjoying all the sneak peeks this week of the amazing new products and don't forget the FB Live at 8pm tonight with some more sneak peeks!

See you again soon!
