Happy Mail, Hugs Enclosed!

 

Happy Saturday Teatimer’s, have you had a good week? You might have seen this cute card during the blog hop last week, so I thought I’d share with you all how I made it. 

I finally got to use the Happy Mail Gift Card Holder Die Set. I didn’t use it as a gift cardholder though, I just used it to create a fun shaped card base. I wanted some texture on my card so cut out the Dotty Hearts Cover Plate Die and ink blended Abandoned Coral, Picked Raspberry, Kitsch Flamingo and Spun Sugar Distress Oxides over the top to give and ombré look. Finishing off with a few splatters of water to give some texture and some splatters of gold water colour paint.

 Setting that aside to dry I stamped cut out and coloured up the skunks from the Stinkin’ Cute Stamp Set. I coloured them up with COPIC markers and added some finishing touches with white gelly roll pen. The letters are from the Happy Mail Critters Stamp Set and the Be Kind Be You Stamp Set which also contains the hugs enclosed sentiment (which I stamped and heat embossed in gold) then the balloons are from the Smitten Kitten stamp set. I really do love to mix and match my sets! Once all the colouring was done I could began adhering my card together.

I cut out the biggest of the two mail box dies the larger rectangle and the letter box die out of hot pink card. Then taking the Dotty Hearts panel I cut the smaller mail box out of that and to save my card being bulky and time I cut out the smaller rectangle in the middle. Then layered everything on top of each other as you can see the larger pink rectangle covered the hole.

Before adding my critters I needed to make the rest of my sentiments I used the Happy Mail die from the Happy Mail Gift Card Holder Add on Die Set which cut out in gold and white and layered on top of each other to create a shadow and used the same hot pink for the happy bigger shadow. 

Then I just adhered everything together using foam tape on the critters to give some added depth and dimension. To make the card base I just cut out the bigger of the two mail box dies from white 360gsm card twice and scored one of across the top about 2cm down and added double sided tape above the line and attached my card together. Then all was left to do was adhere the top and that's my card finished up. I hope you like my card for today it's super fun and great for just sending happy mail to a friend.

HAPPY MAIL Noline coloring using distress inks

Hey everyone, Lien here. Today I am sharing this card on the Time For Tea Designs Youtube Channel. I am featuring the Dog Gone Mutts stamp set from Time For Tea Designs. For this card, I did some no-line coloring using distress inks. I hope you like it xxx 

You can click HERE to watch on the Time for Tea Designs Youtube channel.

I started by stamping out the dogs from the Dog Gone Mutts from Time for Tea Designs using antique linen distress ink onto water colour paper. I smooched several distress inks down onto a media mat and used them to do the water coloring of the critters. 

Once I had everything colored in, I cut the paper to an A2 sized panel. I also die cut a frame. After assembling the card onto a card base, I finished it using some heart sprinkles. I hope you like the card!

HAPPY MAIL: Making a one layered card using masks

Hey everyone, Lien here. Today I am sharing this card on the Time For Tea Designs Youtube Channel. I am featuring the Car Critters stamp set that was release at the end of May. I decided to make a one-layer card using several critters from this set. I hope you like the end result. 

You can click HERE to watch on the Time for Tea Designs Youtube channel.

I started by stamping everything out onto an A2 sized panel. Important to take into account is which images are in front of the rest. This way, you can stamp out your image, add a mask, stamp the next image, add mask, ... this process was repeated A LOT to get the complete image I am coloring today. I colored everything in using my Copic Markers (combination below). 

• Cow: E47, E57 / E13, E11
• Llama: E33, E53, E51, E13
• Pig: E13, E11
• Panda: W1, W0
• Bunny: E18, E15, E33, E53
• Car: R89, R59, R37, R35 / W8, W6, W5 / W5, W3, W1 / Y38, Y17 / R37, R35
• Glass: G0000
• Shadow: W3, W1

After coloring everything in, I decided to add the sentiment "You're on your way!". Next, I adhered this panel onto a card base. I also added some glossy accents onto several parts of the image. I also used a black glaze pen onto the eyes, noses and panda. I hope you like it xxx
