Slimline Trick Or Treat

Happy Friday, crafty friends, DT Annalisa here! 🎃

It’s time for a fun and spooky Halloween card! For today’s project, I’m featuring the adorable Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection along with the Mini Slimline Scalloped Dies from Time For Tea Designs.

I started by creating a watercolour panel and trimmed it to 3 inches by 6 inches. I then added some colour and shimmer by spraying the panel with Mermaid Lagoon and Picked Raspberry Distress Sprays. I love how these bright, vibrant colours create a fun Halloween background!

Next, I used the Mini Slimline Scalloped Dies to die-cut a border from white cardstock. I adhered the scalloped border to my inked background using liquid glue.

For the focal images, I printed images from the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection and coloured them with my Copics. I added a few white gel pen accents to bring the images to life before cutting them out with my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e.

Once all the elements were ready, I used liquid glue to adhere the images and sentiment to the card panel. I then attached the finished panel to a white card base trimmed to 6 ½ inches by 3 ½ inches.

I love how this little card came together! The spooky purple background paired with the cute trick-or-treaters makes for such a fun and festive Halloween design. 👻🍬

Halloween Trio

Happy Halloween! 🎃 DT Annalisa here, and today I’m sharing my fourth and final handmade Halloween card of the season! This project features a bright alcohol ink background and the adorable Spooky Circle Tags from Time For Tea Designs.

To create the background, I used Ranger alcohol inks, Yupo paper, Ranger blending solution, 99% isopropyl alcohol, and the Tim Holtz Ink Air Blower. The colours I went with are Ranger Indigo, Flamingo, and Amethyst.

Once the Yupo paper was dry, I die-cut it using the Sweet Scalloped Dies and attached it to a card base with liquid glue.

Next, I coloured the Spooky Circle Tags and candy images with Copic markers, then added a few white gel pen accents for extra pop. The stars are from Santa’s Nice List, and the sentiment comes from the Haunted House stamp set. I adhered all the elements with liquid glue.

For a touch of sparkle, I used a Quickie Glue Pen along the edges of a few images and sprinkled on some Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter. ✨

Too Cute to Spook Cuties

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here today! We’re just one week away from Halloween, and I’m back with another cute and spooky handmade card featuring digital stamps and dies from Time For Tea Designs. 🎃

I started by using two Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies to cut a frame from some plaid-patterned paper in my stash. For the background, I blended Wilted Violet Distress Watercolour Pencil with a few sprays of Carved Pumpkin Distress Oxide. Once I was happy with the blend, I heat-set the panel and trimmed it down to 3¼" x 4¾" so it would fit neatly behind my plaid frame.

Next, I used the larger of the two rounded corner dies to create my card base, then adhered the background panel with liquid glue.

For the sentiment, I chose the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies. I cut the phrase twice, once from white cardstock and once from black. I coloured the white layer with a purple Copic marker and added a shimmer mist to the black layer for extra sparkle. To make the sentiment pop, I glued the two layers slightly offset, then attached it to the card front with liquid glue.

To bring my Halloween scene to life, I used the Spooky Circle Tags Clear Stamp Set for the candy and the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection for the cat and pumpkin. I cut out all the images using my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e, then coloured them with Copic markers and added highlights using a white gel pen for extra detail.

Finally, I arranged the stamped images on my background, securing them in place with a mix of liquid glue and double-sided foam tape to add some fun dimension.

Thank you so much for stopping by and checking out my latest project. 👻🧡

Halloween Kitties

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here, and I am sharing a fun Halloween card that features stamps, a stencil, and patterned paper from Time For Tea Designs.

Using the Movie Star 6 x6" Stencil, watercolour paper, and distress sprays, I created the stencilled background. First, I placed the stencil on the watercolour paper and sprayed Dusty Concord Distress Oxide Spray. After removing the stencil, I set the background with my Ranger Heat tool. Then, to fill in the white spaces, I sprayed Salvaged Patina Distress Spray Stain. Black watercolour splatter added extra interest as a finishing touch.

When the panel was dry, I used the Rounded Corner Stitched Rectangle Dies to trim it. I also cut a piece of patterned paper from the Halloween 2022 Digital Paper Collection using a stitched rectangle die. After preparing both layers, I glued the stencilled background on top of the patterned paper.

These two finished panels were placed on an A2 card base. Beforehand, I had covered the base with plaid paper from my stash.

I used stamps from Haunted House (sentiment), Jumping With Joy (leaves), and Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection (cat and ghost cat). I used my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e to cut out the digital images and cut the leaves out using the Jumping With Joy coordinating dies.

After colouring all of the images with Copics, I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. I attached the images to the card base with liquid glue or foam tape for added dimension.

I added sparkles to the edges of some images with a Quickie Glue Pen and Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter.

Halloween Night Kitty

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here! I’m sharing a sparkly Halloween card using the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection and the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies. These work well together to create seasonal cards.

I created the background using watercolour paper, a moon stencil, and Distress Spray Stains. I added temporary adhesive to the moon mask, then used Uncharted Mariner, Mermaid Lagoon, and Lost Shadow Distress Spray Stains. Next, I sprayed Snow Flurries Mica Stain for sparkle.

I removed the mask and blended Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide and Lemon Drop by Gina K Designs. I spritzed water on the background, letting some blue ink bleed over the moon for a spooky effect. I used a stitched rectangle die to trim the panel, and stuck it to a black card base using liquid glue.  

Next, I used Seedless Preserves and Wilted Violet Distress watercolour pencils on watercolour paper. To create the effect, I softened the pencils in water, scribbled them on a craft mat, and spritzed the ink with water. I pressed the watercolour paper into the ink and then heat-set the ink with a heat gun in between. I repeated this process until I had a textured panel, which I then die-cut using the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies.

I also cut the sentiment from black cardstock and glued it behind the purple sentiment, slightly offset. I used liquid glue to adhere the sentiment to the card base.

I printed the pumpkin and kitty from the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection and cut out the images with my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e. The porcupine, leaves, acorn, and pine cone are from Jumping With Joy, which I die-cut with the coordinating dies. I coloured all of the images with my Copic markers and adhered them to the card base with liquid glue.

Spooky Pumpkins

Halloween is next week, so I am finishing my spooky card series with a cute purple card. Once again, I used the versatile Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection. I paired this with two die sets and enamel dots from Time For Tea Designs.

For the background, I ink-blended spun sugar, shaded lilac and villainous potion Distress Oxides with my Beautiful Blender Brushes. I added black and silver metallic watercolour splatter with water and a paintbrush. I used double-sided tape to adhere the panel to an A2 card base.

I die-cut Neenah Metalic Chalice Silver cardstock with the Zig Zag Frame & Tag Dies and used double-sided tape to stick it to the card.

I used Anthony's Alpha Dies to die-cut the letters 'BOO' from cardstock that I had coloured with twisted citron Distress Paint that I watered down. I love the bright green backgrounds you can create with Distress paint. I die-cut the same letters from black card stock and used liquid glue to stick them together with the black offset slightly to create a shadow effect.

I stamped "Trick Or Treat" from the Spooky Circle Tags clear stamp set (2021), along with leaves from Jumping With Joy and Stinkin’ Cute. I printed the pumpkins and kitty from the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection and cut out the images with my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e.

I coloured the images with Copics and added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. I adhered the image, letters and sentiments to the card base using liquid glue or double-sided foam tape for dimension.

I added Designer Enamel Dots from the Summer Haze collection, to complete the card.

Halloween Haunted House

 

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa is here today sharing a Halloween scene featuring the brand new Haunted House Clear Stamp Set.

I love the large size of this haunted house, it is so fun to colour and takes up most of the card! I stamped the house and coloured it with my Copics. I then used a circle die that I had in my collection but one of the T4T Simple Circle Dies fits this stamp perfectly! I added some accents with a white Gelly Roll Pen.

I used the Square Label Dies to cut out two pieces of patterned paper from the new Halloween 2022 Digital Paper Collection. I used a dot runner to adhere the two pieces together and then to a card base. I used double-sided foam tape to adhere the haunted house circle and the sentiment to the card.

I have a reel that you can see on my IG account making it too!

Trick or Treat!

Hello to all Tea Timers, Claudia here with a scary but also very nice card. I used again this adorable set  Spooky Circle Tags with this so cute kitty, I love cats!!! 

   

I wanted to create a spooky scene, so I chose to use the die cut  Tree of Loveand the tree on black cardstock with a background made by shading distress  then I also created this moon in the background, what do you think? I think it doesn't make much sheer also because my little girl Gaia said it was very sweet and wanted it as a gift right away (and I can't say no to her). 

 Greetings to you all and I hope you enjoyed my inspiration!!! Don't forget to use the code  Greetings to you all and I hope you enjoyed my inspiration!!!

 Happy Monday crafty friends!

It is DT Natalia here today, and I am back with another card that I hope will inspire you to use some of your products differently!

I have had this Halloween set since Christmas - my parents gave it to me for Christmas, well, I bought it, they paid!) and I have used the coordinating die in so many different ways - I have made tags with it, I have made a shaker card and this time I am using it to help focus this beautiful night sky. Who would have said this was a Halloween stamp when used this way? 

I started off by blending an area big enough for the Spooktacular sky stamp with Chipped Sapphire and Black Shoot distress oxide inks. Once that was dry, I prepared the area with some anti-static powder and stamped my sky with VersaMark ink, then used white embossing powder and heat set it. Once finished, I die cut it with the coordinating die and set aside for later. The scalloped circle frame I die cut three times to add some dimension to my card. 

Now I was ready for my cute bear. This guy is from the Bears Picnic stamp set and I just love him! I coloured him with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers, I added some highlights with a white gel pen and used the coordinating dies to cut him out. The colours I used are below: 

• Bear: TN3, TN2, TN1, EB2, EB1, EB7, PP3, PP1
• Kite: CT4, CT2, CT1

I added some highlights with a white gel pen and used the coordinating dies to cut him out. 

The next step was to put it all together and add a sentiment! I prepared an A2 size card base and stamped the sentiment with black versafine ink, and used clear embossing powder on top to give it that extra touch. The I glued my sky and circle frame and used double sided foam to adhere the bear to the card. I finished it off with some sequins from Lucy's Little Things.

Emboss Resist Halloween Card featuring Spooktacular Stamps and Dies

 Hello crafters!  DT Elaine here today to share this spooky Halloween card using the new Spooktacular stamp set along with lots of other Time for Tea goodies in the range.

To start with I took a piece of white cardstock and treated it with an antistatic powder bag.  I placed the card in my stamp positioner along with the Plaid Background stamp and inked it with an orange dye ink.  Before removing the stamp and the card I repeated the stamping with Versamark Ink.  Next I took the singular line stamp in the set and inked it with Versafine Onyx Black Ink, another sticky ink which is great for heat embossing.  Once everything was stamped I coated the panel with clear embossing powder and heat set with a heat gun until melted and glossy.

 To add interest to the panel I applied Black Soot Distress Ink all around the edges concentrating the colour on the edge to create a gradient effect.  The areas coated in the embossing powder resist think and the orange colour shows through.  I cut this panel down to size using one of the square dies from Quilted Square Nesting Dies.

The ghosts and bats were stamped using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink, coloured with copic markers (C3, C1, C00, YR01, W6, W4, W1) and cut out using the co-ordinating dies.

For the cardbase I cut a piece of black card stock to 10" x 5" and scored at 5" on the longest side and burnished with a bone folder to create a 5" x 5" card base.  Using another of the dies in the Quilted Square Nesting Die set I cut a white square of card stock for a layering panel.

To frame the ghosts I used two dies from the Quilted Square Nesting Dies to cut a small frame from black card stock. All the layers were adhered to the cardbase and the images were adhered using foam tape to help add some dimension.

The sentiment was created using white embossing powder on black cardstock and trimmed down into a thin strip.  Foam tape was adhered to the back and secured under the ghosts.

To add a little extra sparkle, glitter was applied to the ghosts and jewels dotted around here and there.

I hope you enjoyed this card and check out the video!

Facebook Live - Feline Spooky Halloween Special!!

Hi there!

Jo here just to let you know that the latest FB Live is now available to view at your leisure on YouTube!

Be sure to watch the video below as it shows how this card was made. There's also a supply list at the end of this post for the T4tD products I used.

I should just mention that the Digi Collection featured here is still available for free with any purchase in the T4TD shop. You'll have to be quick though as the offer expires at Midnight tonight!!

I have edited it a bit so it's not so long :) If you do want to see the full length version it is still available on our Facebook page.

In this weeks FB Live video I demonstrated how to make this shadow box card using the Box Clever Die set. 

 

 My images were printed onto super smooth cardstock and then adhered to some cheap cardstock to give them a bit of stability once they were used on my card. I coloured them with my Copic Markers and fussy cut them all out. The shapes were quite simple so cutting them out was relatively easy.

 I used the Box Clever Die to cut out the pieces for my Box card.
I assembled part of my card & suspended my cat & dog images onto acetate to make it look like they were flying or floating.

My background was the haunted house image from the set and I show in video how I coloured the spooky sky.

I added the Feline Spooky sentiment and some of the treat images as embellishments to the front and side panels of my card. I used Stardust Stickles to make them glittery.

Finally I suspended my cute spider from the top centre of my card window with some acetate.

Links to all the products I used are listed below.

PLEASE NOTE THAT OUR FB LIVE EVENTS WILL BE ON A THURSDAY at 8PM GMT FROM NOW ON! I'd be thrilled if you could join me. :) 

If you have any ideas for what you'd like me to demonstrate using T4TD products then please do let me know either via our FB or IG pages! 

Take care & Yappy Howlloween!
