Hamster Party

Hello everyone, Annalisa here and today I am sharing a birthday card featuring the Hooray Hamsters stamp set and coordinating dies, as well as the new Ever Decreasing Circles stencil. In addition to this I used several stamp sets, I just love mixing and matching sets whenever I can.

To create the background, I die cut some white card stock using the Hooray A6 Panel Die, blended on some Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide Ink with my Beautiful Blender Brush and then used the Ever Decreasing Circles stencil to add the darker blue circles over the top of this. I then applied some translucent embossing paste from Wendy Vecchi, once this was dry, I added some white splatters using my Picket Fence Distress Paint.

I created the grass area by cutting out some white card stock using the Hooray A6 Panel Die, blended on some Mowed Lawn Distress Oxide Ink with my Blender Brush. I added some water droplets and white splatters and then die cut the section using Stitched Hillside Borders die set from Lawn Fawn. I attached the grass to the dotted sky background using liquid glue.

For the scene, I stamped and coloured critters and other elements from three stamp sets: Hooray Hamsters, Hip Hop Horray (worm) and Beauty Sleep (clouds). I adhered the critters and elements to the card using liquid glue.

To finish the card I stamped Happy Birthday (from the Say Anything stamp set) and die cut it using the dotted square die included in the Pandamonium Party coordinating die set.

Spring Scene - Fun With Stencils!

Hi crafty friends! Are you ready for some new inspiration from Time For Tea Designs? DT Jennifer here with some spring-y fun (in more ways than one!).

For my card today, I've mixed and matched a bunch of stamps, dies and stencils to create this fun spring scene!

To create this happy card, I first cut a piece of Neenah Solar White cardstock. This will be the base piece for creating this scene. I had envisioned the sunrays in the background of the card, with 2 "spotlights" where we can see the fairy flying down towards the flower and the second, larger spotlight where the bunnies are enjoying the flower.

I stamped all my images, and cut the flower with the coordinating dies. I ran all the rest of the images through my Scan N Cut and cut them all out. Then I colored everything that needed it using Copic markers, added stickles and Wink of Stella and set aside.

Now comes the fun part - building the scene! I first placed the Large Circle Masking Stencil over my ground section, taped off the grass, and added clouds using the Sunny Side Up stencil, my Beautiful Blender Brushes, and Tumbled Glass and Stormy Sky Distress Oxide Inks. I flipped the tape around and laid the base for the grass using Twisted Citron. Then I went over it in layers using the grass cut out side of the stencil and Mowed Lawn ink. I removed all of that masking and laid the Small Circle Masking die over the upper right corner to do a little more cloudy sky background for my fairy element. 

Next I used the negative of the stencils and masked off both of the sections I just made. This is to protect them from getting sunrays over the top of them. First, I taped off a straight line and added more hazy grass using Mowed Lawn ink, and oversprayed it with water from my Mini Mister to create some texture and break up the solid block. I flipped my tape to protect the new grass, and using the sunrays section of the Sunny Side Up stencil, I added lots of sunshine to the background using Squeezed Lemonade and Fossilized Amber Distress Oxide Inks.

After everything was dry, I attached the background of the scene to the red cardstock base and added the stamped elements to the scene. I've used foam tape in varying thicknesses to make things stand out a bit more.

I almost forgot - I have a discount code for you to use - T4TJENNIFER10 will save you 10% on your order from the Time For Tea shop! Yayyyy :)

Happy hearts birthday

DT Annalisa here today. It has been freezing outside in my kneck of the woods so I wanted to share a spring themed card. I used the new heart grid masking stencil and the large square masking stencil from Time For Tea Designs as well as images from four separate stamp sets - Say Anything, Warm Winter Wishes, Woodland Critters and Butterflies.

I used both the positive of the square stencil and the negative of the heart stencil to create the center area of the card. I applied Picked Raspberry and Wilted Violet Distress Oxides with my Blender Brushes. I love how you can mix and max the stencils to come up with different designs.

Next, I stamped and coloured the little critters with my copics, cut them out and adhered them to the blank insides of the hearts. I stamped the 'Happy birthday' to the top heart.

For the background, I used some patterned paper from my stash with some teal foil leaves on them (hard to see in the photo). I used some washi tape with silver foil on it to add extra detail around the center of the card.

Finally, I used liquid pearls and some enamel dots to finish up the card.

Awesome Friend Birthday

Hello everyone! Annalisa here showcasing the new large square masking stencil from Time For Tea Designs on not one, but two cards. In this release, there are 13 different stencil shapes to choose from! On each stencil, there are etched lines that indicate the Card Sizes A2 (US) & A6 (UK). You use these markings to line up your card blank to get the perfect placement for your mask which makes them easy to use. Also, they come with both the negative and the positive stencil which is so useful.

I used the outside of the square masking stencil and coloured the inside using the Distress Oxides Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers and Chipped Sapphire. I then covered the inside with the second mask and added the Magical Snowflake Stencil on top. After securing it down I added several drops of Distress Ink re-inker in the colour picked raspberry to some Wendy Vecchi embossing paste and applied it to the stencil.

After everything had dried I stamped the words "Happy Birthday to an Awesome" (from Say Anything) using VersaMark ink to the blue backgrounds. I heat embossed it using some Icicle ultra fine embossing powder by Brutus Monroe. I die cut the Friend Sentiment Die Set and adhered it to the cards.

To finish up the cards, on one I added an elephant from You’re Elephantastic and the other two cute snowmen from hello Bluebird's Frosty Littles Stamp set.

Woodland Friends: "Thanks"

Hi crafty friends! Are you ready for a dose of inspiration from Time For Tea Designs? DT Jennifer here with a fun woodland scene that I hope you enjoy. 

Today's project features stamps and dies for the latest release. These Woodland Critters are just SO CUTE. I've also used the coordinating dies, and paired them with one of the deer images from the Christmas Deer clear set (and coordinating dies). The sentiment tucked up in the upper left corner was done with the Say Anything clear stamp set.

This card is 4x6 inches in size, as I found I needed a little more space to get all the goodies on there!
