Punny Cat-astrophe

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, sharing a punny cat card featuring the Kitty Capers A4 Printed Cardstock from Time For Tea Designs. I paired it with a stencil and coordinating dies to create a fun little scene.

I began by ink blending Stormy Sky and Salvaged Patina Distress Oxides through the Scene Builder 6x6 Stencil. To add some texture, I splattered the background using a paintbrush and Distress Spray Stains in Picket Fence and Stormy Sky.

Once the panel was dry, I adhered it to a card base using liquid glue.

Next, I die-cut white cardstock with the Stitched Window Cover Die and glued it over the inked background to frame the scene.

I then used the Kitty Capers Coordinating Die set to cut out the images from the Kitty Capers A4 Printed Cardstock. I adhered the images and sentiment to the card using 1mm double-sided foam tape for added dimension.

Sweet Christmas

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! Today I’m sharing a sweet Christmas scene I created using the Gingerbread Family - Our House to Yours stamp set from Time For Tea Designs.

To build the background, I started with watercolour paper and layered Picked Raspberry, Salvaged Patina, and Mermaid Lagoon Distress Sprays. I applied the colours, heat-setting between layers to add depth and texture. For a touch of shimmer, I added a spritz of Peacock Feathers Distress Spritz, which gives the background a beautiful sparkle. I finished it off with splatters of Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain for extra interest.

Once the panel was dry, I added a frame that I created using the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies and white card stock. I used liquid glue to stick it to the panel and then to a card base.

Next, I stamped several images from the Gingerbread Family – Our House to Yours set, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out using the coordinating dies (which are currently on sale!). I added white gel pen details using a Gelly Roll Pen and added sparkles to some images with a Quickie Glue Pen and Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter.

The stars come from the Happy Trails clear stamp set, and I cut them using the coordinating dies.

To create texture in the snowy area, I added Ranger Translucent Grit-Paste. I love the dimension this paste provides. It works perfectly for mimicking realistic snow on a card.

I adhered the images to the card base using a mix of liquid glue and foam tape to give the scene depth and dimension.

To complete the card, I added three white enamel dots from the Sweet Summer Designer Enamel Dots collection.

Sending Happy Mail

Hello and happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! Today, I am sharing a cheerful, happy mail card I created using the You Got Mail clear stamp set from Time For Tea Designs. The coordinating die set for this collection is currently on super sale, so be sure to grab it while you can!

To create the background, I began with watercolour paper and a combination of Twisted Citron, Salvaged Patina, and Picked Raspberry Distress Sprays. I layered the colours one at a time, heat-setting between sprays to create depth and texture. For a final touch of shimmer, I added a spritz of Peacock Feathers Distress Spritz, which gives the background a beautiful sparkle!

Once the panel was dry, I adhered it to a 5 3/4" x 4 1/4" card base.

Next, I used the Wide Stitched Frame Dies to cut a frame from White Silver Neenah cardstock, then attached it to the background with liquid glue.

For the focal elements, I stamped several images from the You Got Mail stamp set, colored them with Copic markers, and die-cut them with the coordinating dies. I added a few white gel pen highlights using a Gelly Roll pen for extra detail. The cute little acorn is from Jumping With Joy, and the flowers are from Ewe Are The Best, both cut with their matching dies.

I arranged the images on the card front, adhering some flat with liquid glue and others with foam tape for dimension. To finish everything off, I added three Designer Enamel Dots from the Summer Haze collection for a fun pop of colour and shine.
