Sending Easter Wishes

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, sharing a bright and cheerful Easter card I created using stamps, stencils, and dies from Time For Tea Designs. I absolutely love the fresh spring feel of this card; it really makes me look forward to spending time out in the garden!

To start, I ink-blended Dusty Concord, Faded Jeans, and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide Inks onto white cardstock using the Mini Egg Pattern Stencil. This created a soft, colourful background with a fun Easter vibe. I then added white splatter using Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain and a watercolour brush for a bit of texture and interest.

Once the panel was dry, I adhered it to a card base and added a white die-cut stitched border to frame the scene and give it a clean, finished look.

For the sentiment, I used the Easter Wishes Large sentiment die, cutting it from both silver and black cardstock. I layered them slightly offset to create a subtle shadow effect, then adhered it to the top of the card with liquid glue.

The images come from a mix of sets, Fruitful Friends, I Really Dig You A4 Printed Cardstock, Ewe Are Moovellous, Eggstra Special Birthday, Cacti Critters and Oops A Daisy A4 Printed Cardstock. I coloured the stamped images with Copics and added white gel pen accents for extra detail and highlights. Each element was then adhered with liquid glue to complete the scene.

Birthday Herd

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here sharing a spring birthday card I created using the Ewe are Moovellous A4 Printed Cardstock from Time For Tea Designs. These beautifully colored images, printed on high-quality cardstock, make it easy to create eye-catching cards.

I started by ink-blending Salvaged Patina Distress Ink over the Scene Builder 6x6 Stencil onto an A2 card base, then added blue ink splatter for extra interest.

Next, I die-cut white cardstock using the Wonky Window Cover Die and ink-blended it with Mowed Lawn, Peeled Paint, and Twisted Citron Distress Inks. To add texture, I splattered on Rustic Wilderness Distress Ink and Picket Fence Distress Spray Stain. I adhered this panel to the card base using liquid glue.

I then used the Ewe Are Moovellous coordinating dies dies to cut out images from the Ewe are Moovellous A4 Printed Cardstock. Using a combination of double-sided 1mm foam tape and liquid glue, I adhered the images and sentiments to the card.

To finish, I added clear Wink of Stella to the images for a subtle shimmer.

A Purrfect Spring Day!

Hello Everyone! 

Michelle from the Design Team here and today I’m sharing a bright and cheerful card that feels like a little slice of springtime - with playful kitties, fluttering butterflies and a garden full of colour! 

Supplies used:

Ginger Cat - Kitty Capers

Grey Cat - Love Is In The Air

Flowers - I Really Dig You

Butterflies - Cacti Critters

Fence and Tree - Ewe Are Marvellous

I built the design in layers to create that sunny outdoor feel. The lower half features a white picket fence and a vibrant flower bed packed with colourful blooms and butterflies. I added lots of bright shades to make everything feel lively and fresh, just like a real spring garden.

Up top, the sweet kitties sit on a wall enjoying the day with soft clouds in the background and a tree adding a touch of balance. The little butterflies floating around them help tie the whole card together and add a sense of movement.

The “Hope your day is purrfect” sentiment heat embossed into green cardstock finishes the card perfectly and adds a fun pun that makes it even more smile-worthy. This would be such a lovely card to send to brighten someone’s day with a bit of springtime happiness.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Pumpkin Fun!

Hello everyone!

Michelle here from the Design Team with a fun and festive card featuring my two favourite happy crocs on the hunt for the perfect pumpkin. They’ve made their way to the patch, and it looks like they’ve found the one!

Supplies used:

Snappy Before Coffee

Giant Pumpkin - Pumpkin Spice

Pumpkins - Trick Or Treaters

Fence - Ewe Are Moovellous

Pumpkin vines - Purrfect Day

Bold Sentiments

To create the scene, first, I ink blended soft clouds for the sky using Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide. Next I die cut 4 hillsides - 1 from white card stock that I ink blended with Twisted Citron and Lucky Clover Distress Oxides. For the remaining 3 hillsides, this was going to be the mud/ground that the pumpkins are growing in so I die cut them out of kraft card stock to help make things a bit quicker. I added a little bit of ink blending and splattered with Vintage Photo and Ground Espresso Distress Oxide to give it more depth.

I added rows of pumpkins and a cute pick-your-own sign behind a white picket fence to build the scene - all the images were all either stamped or printed and then coloured with alcohol markers. 

The crocs were coloured in bright greens to pop against all those rich autumn tones, and I just love how joyful they look with their prize pumpkin.

For the sentiment, I picked a simple one from the Bold Sentiments stamp set - ‘You are awesome’ as I think it says it all.

To complete the card, I adhered it to some white card stock, leaving a thin frame around it before mounting it onto a card base that I had ink blended a gingham pattern using Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide.

Thanks for visiting today. Hope you’re enjoying all the autumn crafty goodness!

Fishing Fun!

Hello Everyone!

Design Team member Michelle here with a splashy little card full of sunshine, trees, and some seriously cute fishing fun. This sweet mouse is having a relaxing day by the water while their fluffy sheep friend cheers them on from the shore.

Supplies used:

Boat Buddies

Ewe Are Moovellous

Fintastic Friends

Trees - Happy Trails

Dock - Table from Home Where The Heart Is

Bucket - Beach Buds

For the sky, I ink blended soft yellows and oranges. For the water, I die cut waves, ink blended with a mix of blues before layering them together with foam tape. I also added a few splatters and sparkles to make everything feel extra fresh. 

The dock, trees, and critters were stamped or printed, coloured with alcohol markers and pieced together to build this peaceful outdoor scene. I hand drew and coloured some rocks to add to the water's edge as I felt something was missing. 

For the sentiment, I used white heat embossing powder on dark blue cardstock and it makes me smile every time - may all your fishes come true!

This is a fun card for a birthday, encouragement, or just because.

Hope your day is fin-tastic!

Michelle

Thinking of You

Happy Friday from DT Annalisa! I'm excited to share a mini card featuring the adorable Rain or Shine Mice along with the Thinking of You Sentiment Die.

To create the back panel for this card, I die-cut patterned paper from the Pretty Pastels 6x6 Paper Pad using the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies. I adhered this to a card base using liquid glue.

Next, I die-cut watercolour paper with the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies and created a watery-looking background using Peacock Feathers Distress Ink and water. I then attached this piece to the card base with liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I die-cut paper from the Gorgeous Gingham 6x6' Paper Pad using the Thinking Of You Sentiment Die. I used vellum for the outlined portion of the sentiment and adhered the two pieces together with liquid glue before attaching them to the card base.

I stamped images from the Rain Or Shine Mice stamp set, coloured them with Copics, and cut them out using the coordinating dies. I added accents with a white gel pen using a Gelly Roll Pen. The bee is from the Fruitful Friends set, the flowers are from Ewe Are The Best, and the small bird is from Ewe Are Moovellous.

To assemble the card, I used liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to adhere the stamped elements to the card base. I finished the card with three Sweet Summer Designer Enamel Dots.

Summer Gardening Scene

Happy first day of Summer 2025! DT Annalisa here and I’m excited to share a fun gardening-themed card featuring the new Cacti Critters from Time For Tea Designs. I absolutely love the bunny with his watering can!

To create the background, I sprayed Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Spray onto the Flirty Flowers Stencil and then pressed it onto watercolour paper. After removing the stencil, I spritzed the panel with water and added splatters using Mowed Lawn Distress Watercolour Pencil.

Next, I die-cut white cardstock with the Five Windows Cover Die to create a white frame, which I adhered to the green panel using liquid glue. I then attached this to a card base.

For the soil area, I used Ground Espresso, Walnut Stain, and Scorched Timber Distress Watercolour Pencils on watercolour paper. I glued a slim strip of this paper to the bottom of the largest window frame.

I stamped several images, colored them with Copic markers, and added white gel pen accents. The sets I used, along with their coordinating dies, include Cacti Critters, Boat Buddies, Hey There Critters, Fruitful Friends, Ewe Are The Best, and Ewe Are Moovellous.

Finally, I used liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to attach the images to the card base, and I added Stickles to some of them to complete the card.

Thank Ewe Farm Friends

Happy Friday! It's DT Annalisa, and I'm excited to share a spring farm scene I created using the Ewe Are Moovellous and Ewe Are The Best stamp sets from Time For Tea Designs.

To create the sky section, I used Mermaid Lagoon Distress Spray Stain on watercolour paper. For the grass section, I applied Twisted Citron Distress Paint as a base layer. I added the paint to my glass mat, sprayed it with water, and then repeatedly pressed the watercolour paper onto the glass mat, drying it in between each application. To add texture, I included splatters of Mowed Lawn and Rusty Wilderness Distress Watercolour Pencils.

Next, I die-cut the sky and grass sections using the Waves Cover Die. I also die-cut white cardstock with the same die to create a white outer frame. I adhered this frame to a card base using liquid glue. Then, I added the grass and sky sections inside the frame with additional liquid glue.

I stamped several images from the Ewe Are Moovellous, Ewe Are The Best, and Oops a Daisy stamp sets. After colouring them with Copics, I cut them out using their coordinating dies and added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen.

Finally, I attached the images to the card base using either liquid glue or double-sided foam tape.

Ewe Are the Best Spring Card

Hello and happy Friday from DT Annalisa! Today, I’m excited to share a beautiful spring scene featuring the Ewe Are The Best stamp set from Time For Tea Designs.

I started by die-cutting some white Distress White Heavy cardstock from Ranger using the Sweet Scalloped Dies. Then, I ink-blended Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide using a Beautiful Blender Brush through a cloud stencil. I added splatters of Stormy Sky Distress Oxide and water by flicking a wet paintbrush.

Next, I ink-blended another piece of Distress White Heavy cardstock with Twisted Citron and Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide ink using a blender brush. I also created splatters on this panel using water and Lucky Clover Distress Oxide. After that, I die-cut this panel with a grass die and again used the Sweet Scalloped Dies.

I glued the grass section to the sky panel with liquid glue and then attached both to a card base.

For the focal images, I stamped images from the Ewe Are The Best, Ewe Are Moovellous and Oops a Daisy stamp sets, then cut them out using their coordinating dies. I colored the images with Copic markers and added accents with a white gel pen.

I used liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to adhere the images and sentiment to the card. Finally, I added some sparkle to various elements on the card using a Wink of Stella brush.

I hope you enjoy this cheerful spring card!

A Moovellous Birthday!

Hello Everyone!

Michelle here with a box card using the Ewe are Moovellous stamp set.

First, I cut all the pieces of the box frame from some orange gingham patterned cardstock. I used a die set from my stash but the Box Clever Die Set and cutting down 3 of the sides will achieve the same results.

For the background section of the card, I trimmed down 2 extra smaller panels of white cardstock. With the smaller panel, I ink blended sun rays using yellow ink and splattered gold water colour on top. Once this was dry, I adhered this to the larger panel making sure that there was an even border, giving it a framed look.

I then die cut 3 hills from white cardstock and blended on light and dark green ink.

For the images, stamped and coloured them with alcohol markers and added white highlights. For the little egg, I added some feet with a black fineliner to make it extra cute and the fence is 4 of the original fences glued together! 

The balloons and party hats are from the now retired Hooray Hamsters stamp set but you could use the same elements from the Birthday Fox stamp set instead.

The sentiment was created by stamping each of the words onto white cardstock and using a black finer liner, I drew the fish tail banner around it. I added some extra dots at the start and end of it of the sentiment banner so that it matched the style of the fence. 

Once I had all the pieces ready and second guessing to whether I had enough balloons or not, I assembled the entire scene with liquid glue making sure each tier of the card was high or low enough that all the feature images could be clearly seen.

Whilst this card takes a little more time and effort to create, it's a great birthday scene and it makes me very happy.

Have a moovellous day!

Michelle
