NEW MAY RELEASE! - You've got mail slimline

Hello Teatimers!

It is DT Natalia with you here today. It is bank holiday Monday here in the UK and I hope you are having a fantastic day. 

It is also time to show you one of the many cards I made with some of the NEW RELEASE products! Did you watch the new release reveal party FB lives? They were so much fun! I'll link them up here for you in case you missed it and want to watch the replay!

I am really, really excited about this new release, it is loaded with SO much cuteness! Check it out here: https://timeforteadesigns.co.uk/

For today's card, I used the You Got Mail stamp and coordinating die cuts as well as the Slimline postage stamp frame dies for by background. 

To start with, I used the plain rectangle from the Slimline postage stamp frame dies to cut two pieces of white cardstock - these will be for my grass and sky behind the frames. Using my Beautiful Blender Brushes, I used Salty Ocean and Broken China for the sky and Mowed Lawn, Lucky Clover and Twisted Citron for my grass panel. 

Next, I used the hillside and grass dies from the new Slimline hillside scenes dies set to cut my green panel into two sections so that I could layer them up, to add some dimension to the background. I also prepared both my slimline cardbase from white cardstock and my postage stamp outer panel from a light brown cardstock. 

OK now, I am a bit of a neat freak, and those three postage windows obviously had to line up perfectly - so I made myself a template! I calculated where each square should go so that it was equidistant from each border and between themselves, cut the square with a craft knife and then used that panel as a guide to position my individual postage square frame dies (I used the large one from the set). Do message me if you want more details on this! But I can tell you - they are perfectly aligned ☺ I would also love to know whether you are the kind of person that makes templates for die cutting and stencilling? or do you just eyeball it? Leave me a comment down below!

My panel is now ready, and the next thing to do was stamp the you got mail stamps (multiple times to save myself time) and colour them. I used my Spectrum Noir markers and the colours are listed here: 

Snail 1: PP1,PP2, PP3, AP1; PP5; CT1, CT3, CT4

Snail 2: PP1,PP2, PP3, AP1; PP5; OR2, CR9, CR11

It's A Penguin Party!

 Hello Vic here today sharing a cute slimline card I made. I am so in love with the new release and wanted to make a fun Christmas card using the Skating By Penguins Stamp Set.

To start with I used the Falalala Scalloped Slimline Die Set and using a pink piece of card I die cut a frame. I then used the Falalala die and die cut this using some silver sparkle card. I then used a piece of white card and made my slimline card base and I started to ink blend some blue distress ink onto my card using my Beautiful Blender Brush. I started to ink blend the top of the card in blue and then I switched to a light purple foe the bottom of the card. I then added some hills using the Landscape Edge Die and some more white card. 

I wanted to add some details to my sky and I used the Carolling Critters Stamp Set that have snowflakes in the stamp set. I used my inks that I used to make the sky and stamped the snowflakes onto my card. I then adhered the hills down using some double sided tape. 

I then stamped out my images using Memento Black Ink and the Skating By Penguins Stamp Set. I coloured the penguins in with my copic markers then I used the Coordinating Dies and run them through my die cutting machine. I always secure the dies with some washi tape so that they they don't slip while being die cut. I then adhered the frame, Penguins and greeting onto my card using some Foam Pads.

To finish my card off I added some sparkle using some Stickles onto their hats and the hills. 

I hope this card inspires you to make a fun penguin scene. Don't forget you can save 10% off your Time For Tea Designs purchases using the code: T4TVICKI10 at the checkout.

Colourful Hugs

Hello everyone, DT Annalisa here and today I am sharing a colourful card featuring the new Scattered Hearts Stencil as well as some other Time For Tea Designs goodies. This heart stencil is just perfect to help spread some cheer to your friends and loved ones.

I used my blender brushes to apply Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Picked Raspberry and Peacock Feathers Distress Oxide inks to the Scattered Hearts Stencil. I then removed the stencil and used the same colours with a much lighter pressure to add colour to the white card stock background that remained. To finish the background I added splatters of water and picked it up with some paper towel.

I stamped the bear and sentiment from the Pandamonium Party stamp and die cut them out using the coordinating die set. I then die cut the two frames from the Smile Sentiment and Scalloped Frame Die Set from some heavy white card stock.

I adhered the two frames to the scattered hearts background with liquid glue. I then stuck down the panda and the sentiment. To finish the card I added some Crystal Stickles to the heart on the envelope.

Fairy Happy Birthday

Happy Thursday! DT Annalisa here, today's creation features the new Fairy Garden stamp set. There are a lot of great little images in the set that I thought would be great for a wreath around one of the cute fairies.

I stamped and coloured the fairy and the smaller stamps with copic markers. I used a light grey copic for the circle and added some white circles using a white Gelly Roll Pen. I used the 'fairy happy birthday' for the sentiment and added the exclamation point with the heard at the end.

I adhered the scene to some card stock and added a border on the top and the bottom using some patterned paper from Lawn Fawn. I used a scalloped border punch I have had forever for the top section.

I layered the largest frame from the Smile Sentiment and Scalloped Frame Die Set on top to complete the scene. I used some Stickles on the small stamps and the fairy's wings for some shine.

I hope you enjoyed this card. If you are interested in purchasing any Time for Tea Designs products be sure to Use code T4TANNALISA10 when you visit the shop to get 10% discount off your entire order.

Penguin Penny Slider Card

Good Morning!

Jo here with all the details of the project we made during our FaceBook Live Thursday evening.

Be sure to check out the video below which shows the edited highlights from the Live event.

We made this super cute Penguin Penny Slider Card using the new Time For Tea Designs Cardstock and the Warm Winter Wishes Stamp and Die Set along with some other classic sets.

I cut our Tropical Teal Cardstock from one of our Hello Rectangle Nesting Dies and stamped the snowflakes with a stamp from the Christmas Deer Stamp Set.

I stamped our Penguin and Tree from the Warm Winter Wishes Stamp set and coloured on Copic Markers.

I die cut them with the coordinating dies.

I used stickles to add shine to the star and edges of the branches and some Nuvo Crystal Drops to add shine to the baubles.

I used the die from the Christmas Deer Die Set to cut two of my tree and snowy hill landscapes. The one in the fore front had the slider mechanism die cut into it. The Slider Die is from the Best Fishes Die Set.

I doubled up my shaker tape to line the slider panel and used a piece of the same tape to attach my Penguin to the penny that makes the slider mechanism.

My sentiment is from the Christmas Deer Stamp Set and is heat embossed onto our Moon Mist Card stock. I used this same cardstock with the largest Hello Rectangle Nesting Die to make my card blank.

I hope you like the card today. Slider cards are so much fun to receive and even more fun to make! 

All the products I used are listed below.

make sure to watch our FB Live Events every Thursday at 8pm for more demonstrations and inspiration.

Have A Cool Yule

Hello everyone, DT Annalisa here. It's that time of year when staying inside with a warm drink in hand is ideal. We had a snowstorm on Sunday in my neck of the woods and had a large dumping of the white stuff! Today I am sharing a cozy Christmas scene featuring the Warm Winter Wishes and Pawsome Christmas stamp sets.

For the background I used some Lawn Fawn patterned paper from their new Snow Day Remix petite paper pack as well as some grey card stock. I cut them both out using the largest die from the Mama Elephant – Peek A Frame creative Cuts die set to get the dotted line around the outside. I used some copics to add some texture to the floor.

I coloured in all of the critters and elements with copics. The bulk are from the Warm Winter Wishes set, but I also used the coffee cup from the Pawsome Christmas set. I have a little bit of a Starbucks obsession so I just had to colour the coffee cup to match the Starbucks holiday cups from this year.

The little rug is from Lawn Fawn's Christmas Dreams. I stamped it on the same patterned paper as the wall. For all of the elements, I added some white jell pen for detail. I also added some Crystal Stickles for some sparkle.

I adhered all of the elements to the background and then finished the card with the sentiment 'Have a Cool Yule'.
