Happy New Year

Happy New Year everyone! This is it we are in the first proper week of this new year. It's so exciting. I always like new year as its like a clean slate. 2020 taught me a lot though, I am lucky as there are some great people in my life that really made a very tough year a lot better. That includes all of you reading this. Thank you for all of your love and support for my creating. I am so happy to be on this DT. So this card is for you as well as them :D

For this card I have used the brand new Cosy Winter stamp set and combined it with a sentiment from the Winter Wonderland Sentiment Card set.

The background is cut from a piece of the Winter Wonderland 6x6 paper and then I layered the trees from the Winter Background stamp set on top of the snowy background paper before framing it all with the frame from the Zig Zag frame and tag die set. Oh and the big foam roll made it so much easier to put that frame on my card! I die cut all the images with the co-ordinating dies after colouring them with Spectrum Noir tri-blend pens.

Wishing you a cosy winter

 I can't believe we are in the Christmas week already! Even though plans have had to change I am still looking forward to Christmas this year. I hope you are all still able to enjoy the time in some way. 

Have you seen this adorable Cosy Winter Stamp and Die set from the new release? There are so many cute critters in it.

I teamed this fox and the snowglobe background from the Cosy Winter stamp set up with the Winter Wonderland paper pad as that tree pattern was just crying out to be used :D The sentiment is from the Sentiment Card Pack. They just make things so easy to have some sentiment ready that I just have to cut out. Don't forget you can get a 10% discount on your Time For Tea Designs by using my code T4TAMY10

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas 

Huge hugs to you all

All I want for Christmas ...

 

DT Annalisa here. It's December so I am in full swing Christmas card mode! Today's card features the new Skating By Penguins Clear Stamp Set and the Carolling Critters Clear Stamp Set as well as the Winter Wonderland sentiment cards in black. It doesn't get much better than cute critters having a snowball fight.

For the background, I used the Stripes Cover Plate Die on some red and white card stock which cut I paper pieced together to form a flat background. I placed these on my base of white card stock that I cut with the largest die in the Slimline Scalloped Trio Circle Nesting Dies. I then die cut some snow hills from a Lawn Fawn die in my stash and adhered it down to complete the base.

Once the background was ready I stamped and coloured all of my critters and other elements. The line of lights is from the "Season's Tweetings" stamp set which I grabbed from Simon Says Stamp during "Stamptember" and is no longer available but you could certainly create this card without it.

I cut out all the elements and adhered them to the card, some with glue, others with foam tape. I added some lines with my white gel pen and added some Stickles for some shine. I finished the card with the "all I want for Christmas is SNOW" sentiment from the Sentiment Cards - Winter Wonderland | Black. These sentiment sets are awesome for cardmaking. I always struggle with white embossed sentiments but love the look of them on cards so these strips make it so easy!

Let the record show that I do not want SNOW for Christmas. I remember one of my favourite Christmas memories was when I hand washed my car on Christmas day! Haven't able to do that in a LONG time (since I live in Canada!) but would welcome it again.

Merry Christmouse Snow Globe Card

Happy Wednesday!

It's DT Shabneez here sharing a wintry creation.  Did you manage to catch Jo on Create & Craft yesterday?  There are still some bargains on there if you missed it.  If you were watching you may have seen my card on display.  It's made using the Carolling Critters Stamp set.

The images were stamped and coloured wtth my Chameleon pens and then I made a background using distress oxides with my blender brush.  I added water to give the illusion of snow.  For the bottom of the image I cut out some snow banks using the Landscape Edge Dies.

I wanted to put the entire scene into a snow globe so I die cut a circle frame using the Circle of Love Nesting dies in black card.  I cut a sentiment from the very useful Sentiment cards and I stuck at the bottom.

Catmas Crackers

I hope you are all well and staying safe. I am having a mad couple of weeks trying to get moved but wanted to pop in here and share my card using the Catmas Crackers stamp set and the great Zig Zag Frame and Tag die set  They were just calling out for me to use them together :)

I also used one of the papers from the Winter Wonderland paper pad. If you haven't seen these papers yet they are well worth a look as they are beautiful and can be used for more than just Christmas makes.

To finish it off I used one of the sentiments from the sentiment cards which I inked around the edges of and added some glitter to :)

This new release is Snow Much Fun!

 Happy Saturday everyone! 

Wow! What a week this has been and I promise this is my last post of the week for you (I will be back Monday though haha). 

Have you enjoyed seeing all the new release?? What are your favourites? And who got their orders in yesterday? I am so excited to see what you all create :D

Lets be honest, if you have seen all the new items you would know that I was never going to be able to resist these cute little Skating By Penguins for long and they work so well with the new Display Card Die I had to team them up :) 

I started by die cutting the card base and then decided which layers I wanted to use with it. I love that this looks so 3D but folds flat to fit perfectly in a C6 (6"x 4") envelope. 

I used a beautiful blender brush and a mix of Blueprint Sketch, Mermaid Lagoon and tumbled glass distress oxides to do the sky in the background and add some depth to the snow.

 

I coloured all my little penguins and the up with Copic markers and then stamped out coloured up some of the little trees from the winter background stamp set to go with them. The sentiments are from the new Sentiment Cards. To finish it off I added some Nuvo drops around it to give it some sparkle and texture. 

 

I hope this has made you smile and that you all have a great weekend. Don't forget if you want to grab these little guys or anything else from the Time for Tea Designs store you can use my code T4TAMY10 to get 10% off your order.

 

Huge hugs
