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.

Spooky In Pink

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here, sharing a cute ghost Halloween card that features the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies and  Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection. I love the size of this sentiment die.

For my project, I used non-traditional colours and ink-blended spun sugar, kitsch flamingo and picked raspberry Distress Oxide inks over a piece of the Halloween 2022 Digital Paper Collection. I added black soot Distress Ink along the edges of the paper to darken it up. I trimmed the patterned paper to 4 1/8 inches by 5 3/4 inches and used double-sided tape to adhere it to a white card base.

I used the Smile Inverted Scallop Frame Dies and the Too Cute To Spook sentiment die to die-cut dark blue card stock. Once die-cut, I sprayed the die-cut blue cardstock with Distress Mica Stain in Shiny Bauble to add shimmer. I love the shimmer and shine you can see in the right light. 

Next, I stamped and coloured (with Copics) the ghost Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. The leaves, acorn and pine cone are from Jumping With Joy and Stinkin’ Cute – these sets are great for all your fall cards. I used my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e to cut the images out.

I adhered the images, sentiment and vellum outline to the card base using liquid glue or double-sided foam tape for dimension.

Too Cute to Spook Kitty

Happy Friday, DT Annalisa here sharing my first Halloween card of the season! It features the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection and the Too Cute To Spook sentiment dies.

I adhered the spider web patterned paper from the Halloween 2022 Digital Paper Collection to an A6 card base. I framed it with the largest die in the Smile Inverted Scallop Frame Dies that I stuck to the card base with liquid glue.

I die-cut the Too Cute To Spook sentiment from orange card stock in my stash and the outline from vellum. I used liquid glue to adhere both of these to the card.

Next, I stamped and coloured (with Copics) the kitty and pumpkin from the Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen. The leaves, acorn and pine cone are from Jumping With Joy and Stinkin' Cute - these sets are great for all your fall cards. I used my Brother Scan N Cut SDX125e to cut the images out.

I adhered the images to the card base using liquid glue or double-sided foam tape for dimension.

Hello pumpkin....!!

 Hey Tea-timers...

I am loving the trick or treaters collection from the digital release, it's so fun!!

So guess what?! I have another new card made using the digital goodies to share with you all!!

T4T products I used to make this card :

- Trick or treaters digital stamp collection

- Halloween 2022 digital paper collection

- Hey, Hi, Hello die

- Stitched window cover die

- Cloud die

To create this card I started by choosing the digital paper I wanted to use as my card base. I then die cut the stitched window cover die from black card and adhered it over the pattern paper using foam tape to pop it up. I printed out the digital images and coloured them up using alcohol markers before fussy cutting them and adding to the bottom window. 

Hello was my die cut sentiment of choice so I that I can send this card anytime, not specifically for Halloween...

To fill up the windows I added some die cut clouds and completed it all with a few sequins!!

Have you checked out the T4T digital goodies? They are fantastic and you can print and use them straight away AND as many times as you want!! (Gotta love that!)

Thanks for stopping by and checking out my card today, I hope you enjoyed it...

Happy crafting, hugs Ashlee. 

Happy Halloween Trick or Treaters

 

Happy Friday! I am sharing a cute Halloween card featuring the new Trick or Treaters Digital Stamp Collection paired with the Halloween 2022 Digital Paper Collection from Time For Tea Designs.

I began by resizing the cute trick-or-treaters, banner and pumpkins so they would fit in the openings in the Stitched Window Cover Die. This is why I LOVE digital stamps, having the flexibility to resize images to suit your needs is priceless! I coloured them with my Copics and then cut them out with my Scan n Cut SDX125.

The sentiment is from the Haunted House Clear stamp set. I stamped and then coloured it with my copics and cut it out.

For the digital papers, I reduced the opacity by 50% (such a cool perk to digital papers!) so that they were a bit toned down so as not to take the focus away from the digital images.

I die-cut heavy white cardstock using the Stitched Window Cover Die. I created a 5 & 3/4 inch by 4 & 1/8 inch card base and used double-sided tape to stick down the patterned paper to the appropriate areas. I used liquid glue to stick down the stitched window on top of the patterned paper. I used double-sided tape and liquid glue to adhere the various elements to the card.

Hello ticker or treaters....!!

 Hey there tea-timer friends...

It's DT Ashlee here with you today sharing a new Halloween creation using products from the latest release at Time for Tea designs!!

This release includes digital products which means you get them instantly and you can print them out as many times as you want...

T4T products used for this card :

- Trick or treaters digital stamp collection

- Halloween 2022 digital paper collection

- Hello, Hey, Hi dies (from a previous release)

To create this card I started by printing out the digital paper I wanted to use for the card base and backed it with black cardstock. I printed, coloured and cut out the trick or treaters digital image before adding it to the card base with foam tape and adding some white highlights.

I then die cut the hello sentiment and popped that up with foam tape too. I love the dimension foam tape brings to the card so I use this to adhere lots of portions of my cards. 

To finish it all off I added a touch of sequins!!

What do you think of this spooky halloween themed card?! Bring on trick or treating!!

Happy crafting, Hugs Ashlee.

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.

Hey halloween....!!

Hey there tea-timers...

Who's excited for Halloween?! If you said yes then you totally need to check out the Halloween mini release at Time for Tea designs!! 

It's such a fun release, I couldn't wait to get crafty with it...

This one consists of mainly digital products so that means you can print it out and create with it in a matter of minutes...

To make this card I used these T4T products...

- Trick or treaters digital stamp collection

- Halloween 2022 digital paper collection

- Mini slimline scallop die

- Hey, hello, hi dies

To create my card I first started by printing out the digital images and coloured them all up with alcohol markers. I also printed out all the digital papers so I could select which one I wanted to use and save all the rest for a future project. 

My card base was done using different colours of cardstock along with the mini slimline scallop die. I love this die for my card bases , it's such a great size and perfect to create little scenes on!!

I fussy cut all the images and adhered them to the card using different levels of foam tape creating varying dimension. 

Using the hey sentiment die I die cut the shadow from purple card and the letters from orange then adhered them together with liquid glue before adding to the top right corner. 

To complete the card I finished it off with a touch of pretty sequins...

I had so much fun making this card with all these cute images and popping colour combo.

I hope you enjoyed it and it inspires you to create some halloween cards.

Till next post, happy crafting. Hugs Ashlee.
