One In A Melon

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here sharing a colourful fruit-filled card I created using the new Fruitful Friends stamp set and coordinating dies. I combined these with the Slimline Postage Stamp Frame Dies that are on a super Summer SALE until August 18th!

I used Tim Holtz Distress Sugary Gumdrop Mica Stain, Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Sprays on water-coloured cardstock. I love the shine the mica stain gives! Once the panel was dry, I trimmed it to 4 1/4 by 5 1/2 inches and glued it to an A2 card base.

I die-cut vellum with the Slimline Postage Stamp Frame Dies. I then used the  Simple Square Nesting Dies to die-cut four small squares from white card stock. I ink-blended two with abandoned coral Distress Ink and two with twisted citron and mowed lawn Distress Oxides. I added stitched lines along the outside of each square with a white Gelly Roll pen.

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images from Fruitful Friends and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. The butterfly is from I Really Dig You, I die-cut it with the coordinating dies.

I used liquid glue to adhere the squares to the vellum postage die-cuts. Next, I glued the stamped and coloured images to the small ink-blended squares and then used double-sided foam tape to adhere them to the card base.

I die-cut the letters 'melon' from white card stock using Anthony's Alpha Dies. I ink-blended the top of each letter with abandoned coral Distress Ink and the bottom with twisted citron and mowed lawn Distress Oxides. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen.

I die-cut the same letters from black cardstock and glued the ink-blended letters to these (slightly offset to create the look of a shadow). I used double-sided foam tape to adhere the letters to the card base.

I masked off the word 'melon' from the 'you're one in a melon' sentiment stamp, and inked it with Versafine Onyx Black. I trimmed it down with a slim rectangle die and used double-sided foam tape to stick it to the card.

You can't say no to pizza and chips

Hello friends, here I am with a new colorful and fun card. I love this little pig and I love the sentiment of this set Workout pigs 

I decided to create a green background using two shades of Distress oxide,                                                       which I like.

        Then I colored several sweets, pizza and chips from this  set 

     Bears Picnic to accompany this cute little pig in his training attempt !!   

I seem to talk about myself with this card, because I can never say no to a nice and good pizza. Hope you like it !!!

Slothy Hugs

 Hi there!

Silvia's here today and I'm so excited to share you my very first card for Time for Tea Designs.

I really love the adorable sloths from the "Be Slothy" stamp set that I decided to feature two of them in this card.

I started by cutting a 5" X 3 3/4" from craft cardstock and I soft ink blended it with kitsch flamingo Distress Oxide ink using "Brick Wall" stencil. I also added some texture on it splattering kitsch flamingo and picked fence Distress reinkers. I also darkened edges a bit with frayed burlap Distress ink.

I then stamped my images, I colored them with alcohol markers and I cut them out.

I die cut the "Hugs" sentiment three times from white cardstock, I layered to create dimension and I softly ink blended with kitsch flamingo Distress Oxide on bottom.

I added a white frame that I die cut using the "A2 Nesting Frame" die set, I put everything together using a mix of liquid glue and foam tape and that's my card.

Thank you so much for stopping by today.  I hope you,ll enjoy this card as much as I do and don't forget that you can save 10% off your Time for Tea order using T4TSILVIA10 at the checkout.

Hugs, Silvia.
