Celebrate Your Birthday

Happy Friday! DT Annalisa here sharing a birthday card set in the desert that I created using the Happy Hump Day stamp set from Time For Tea Designs. It has been horribly hot and humid where I am, we are in the middle of a heat wave, and I am not a fan of the heat! How is it where you are?

I used the Sun Ray Cover Die (on sale now!) to cut Distress White Heavy cardstock by Ranger. I ink-blended (using my Beautiful Rainbow Blender Brushes) on Squeezed Lemonade and Spiced Marmalade Distress Oxide onto the rays section of the resulting die-cut. I added Fired Brick Distress Oxide splatter with a paintbrush and water and white splatter with Copic opaque white.

For the sky sections of the die-cut, I ink-blended Salty Ocean Distress Oxide and added white splatter with a paintbrush, water and Copic opaque white. I used the Landscape Edge Standalone Die to create the sand and ink-blended Antique Linen and Tea Dye and added Vintage Photo Distress Oxide and Copic opaque white splatter. 

I stamped and coloured (with Copics) several images (and the It's Your Birthday sentiment) from the Happy Hump Day stamp set and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added white gel pen accents with a Gelly Roll Pen and sparkles to the edges of some images with a Quickie Glue Pen and Lawn Fawn Prisma Glitter.

The 'celebrate' is from the Large Scallop Celebrate Frame Dies that I cut with black and white cardstock and glued together slightly apart to create a shadow effect.

I used liquid glue to stick down the sunray die sections and the sandy area to an A2 card base. I stuck the images to the card base using a combination of liquid glue and double-sided foam tape for dimension.

Desert sunset birthday card

Hi tea timers!

It's Miki here from the Design Team and I'm so excited to share with you today's card using the new release. For today's card I used the Happy Hump Day stamp set - this might be one of my forever favourite T4T designs!!

To start with I ink blended a summer sunset background on white cardstock. I used the following distress oxides:

• Fossilized Amber
• Ripe Persimmon
• Candied Apple

I started with the yellow in the center and faded it out into the oranges and reds on the outside. I then added some splatters using a mix of water and perfect pearls and picked up the excess with some tissue. I then used the Sun Ray Cover Die to cut the panel. I used the die once more on white cardstock and glued the white rays behind the ink blended ones for extra dimension. I then glued all the pieces on a card base. 

Next I stamped the two camels, the pyramids and the cacti from the Happy Hump Day stamp set. I coloured them in and die cut them with the matching dies. I added them to my card base with foam tape.

I also stamped and embossed the It's your birthday sentiment in white embossing powder on black cardstock and cut it using the matching dies. I glued it with foam tape at the top of the card.

I love this scene, it makes me think of a summer sunset in the desert and the critters are so adorable! I hope you like it too!

Until next time,

Miki 

Missing You!

 

Happy Saturday Teatimer's it's DT member Natalie sharing all the details on how I made my cute card from the blog hop yesterday. 

There wasn't much colouring so it was a super quick card to make. I started by cutting out the Sun Ray Cover Plate Die and ink blending Squeezed Lemonade Distress Oxide over the top. I then used that as a guide to cut out the back piece for the sky from white card. This was then ink blended with tumbled glass and the Slimline Scene Builder Stencil. Next step was to adhere the Sun Ray on top of the sky using foam tape. 

To make the scene the road is cut out of grey paper using the Slimline Hillside Scene Builder Dies and layered over the top of yellow paper. The buildings were stamped using the new City Break Clear Stamp Set I used a orange, pink and purple lawn fawn inks to get the pretty ombre effect. I fussy cut it out and layered them both onto the card. 

The car and panda I found in my stash of pre coloured images its such a handy pile to have! You can find them in the Car Critters Stamp Set. I adhered them to the card but it just needed a few finishing touches so I stamped out the hot air balloon from the City Break stamp set and the Sentiment is from the Speech Bubbles Clear Stamp Set and that was my card finished up. I hope you love the new release as much as we do! As you can see its super versatile and great for both journaling and card making.

LET'S CELEBRATE

 Hello crafty friends! Silvia's back today with a birthday card.

I started ink blending a white panel with cracked pistacchio, squeeze lemonade, dried marigold, victorian velvet and milled lavander Distress Oxide inks, I splattered with water and I die cut it with "Sun Ray Cover Plate" die set.

I then stamped images from the "Birthday Bear" stamp set, I colored them with Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and I cut them with coordinating dies.

I put everything together and I added a white frame cut with the "Smile Inverted Scallop Frame" die set.

For the sentiment I used the "Brighter Days Sentiment Cards" in grey and that's all.

I hope you'll like the card and don't forget you can get a 10% off your Time for Tea order with the code T4TSILVIA10.

Thank you for stopping by today. Hugs, Silvia.

I'm Quackers about you!

 

Happy Saturday, this week has been so busy and Saturday has come around so fast. This week I got to play with some of the last few releases that I hadn't had a chance to use yet. Just like last week I wanted to create a different look with the dies than just using them as a straight die cut.

I began by cutting out the mini slimline scallop dies and then using that as a template to cut out the size of my back panel. On the back panel I stencilled up some blue clouds using the Slimline Scene Builder Stencil and some Tumbled Glass Distress oxide ink. Then I layered on top of that the Sun Ray Cover Plate Die that I had blended with Squeezed Lemonade and Dried Marigold Distress Oxide Inks. Once that was laid on top I could add the frame I cut using the Mini Slimline Scallop Dies. I made sure not to stick right to the edge on the bottom so I could tuck my little duckies in.

The ducks and dragonfly are from the Lucky Duck Stamp Clear Stamp Set they were really simply coloured with warm grey Copics  to add some shading to their white feathers and finished off with some R11 for the cheeks and three little dots using a white gelly roll pen.  I cut these out and popped them on my card so I could see where to put my sentiment. 

For the sentiment I couldn't stamp straight onto the card as it was different layers but I didn't want to loose the details by adding a block sentiment strip. To get around this I used Velum so you can still see the details underneath, I used Staz on ink for this so that it didn't smudge.

I still felt like it was missing something so that's when I decided to colour up the dragonfly and I added the little heart speech bubble from the Bearing Gifts Clear Stamp Set. I finished my card up by mounting it onto some black cardstock and that was it finished up. I hope this gives you some encouragement and ideas to try new ways with your dies. After all you really want to get the most out of them. If you liked my card today and want to get any of the products or anything else from the shop you can get 10% off using code T4TNATALIE10. 

Hope you all have a great weekend and I will see you all next week!
