Stinkin' Cute

  Hello!

Today I'm sharing another card I made using the adorable Stinkin' Cute stamps and dies partnered up with some older products too.

I created a background in three colours of distress ink and the used the Snow Flurry Cover die to create more interest - can't begin to tell you how much I love this look!

Next I used the Stripes Cover Plate die and placed it on top of the background. I really love how this die gives such a brilliant frame for placing stamps.

Finally I added in the adorable Stinkin' Cute images and Spring Blooms die cut flowers and leaves. The final finishing touch was adding the clear gem stones and tiny heart stamps.

I hope you like my card using the awesome products from T4TD. If you'd like to purchase any items you can get 10% off by using my code - T4TJANE10.

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.

Thinking of You

Hello everyone and happy Friday, DT Annalisa here. Sadly the days are getting shorter and my garden is winding down so I decided to share a bright and colourful floral card. Thinking of you cards are great for any occasion and especially useful with a year like 2020! I used several Time For Tea Designs products including the Stripes Cover Plate Die, the Sunny Side up Again stencil and the Thinking of You Lily A7 Clear Stamp Set.

To start I stamped and coloured the large floral stamp from Thanks A Whole Bunch (no longer available at T4T) but could be easily swapped out for the beautiful Lilly in the Thinking of You Lily stamp set. I cut out the flowers and set them aside to begin the background. 

I used some Squeezed Lemonade Distress Ink on the sun in the Sunny Side Up Again stencil. On the stencil, I used a heavy hand, once I removed it I used a lighter hand with my Beautiful Blender Brush directly onto the white card stock so as to not have stark white areas.

Next, I die-cut some white card stock with the Stripes Cover Plate die. Before adhering the stripes section to the background I added some vellum to the back of it. I kept one of the inside pieces from the die-cut and stamped the 'thinking of you sentiment' from the Thinking of You Lily stamp set onto it.

I adhered the vellum and stripes card panel to the background. I then stuck the flowers I had cut out on top of this. To complete the card I tucked the sentiment in its spot under the flowers.

Using your Mini Stamps to Create Coffee Inspired Background

 Hi everyone! I hope you're having a good start to your week?

Jo here with the edited version of our FB Live last Thursday.

Be sure to watch our video below to see in more detail how we made this coffee inspired card!

I used a new Distress Ink Colour Combo for me in this project and I absolutely loved how it turned out!

I used one of the mini stamps in the All Occasion Critters Stamp set to make my background pattern. Watch the video to see how.

I also used a couple of dies to highlight my background and cute piggy image. The Stripes Cover Plate Die is gorgeous for framing your inked background and is great for shaker cards too. The Circle of Love nesting dies are also a great must have as they make great focal points.

The A7 Washi Tape Strip Stamps are soooo cool. Watch the video to see how I used them to make these sweet banners for my piglet to sit on.

Some coordinating Nuvo drops finish off our card and the perfect accent for our Coffee theme.

Our little coffee mad pig is too cute!💓

The sentiment 'Lets have coffee' was heat embossed with some Macchiato WOW! embossing power! Loved it! 😍

You can find the products I used listed below.

Please do join us next Thursday for our next FB Live Craft with Jo event. If you can't wait that ling for inspiration then hop over to our YouTube channel tomorrow at 12pm to see DT Elaine's latest fabulous video.
