Hello, Meow You Doing?

 

Hello, and welcome! DT Annalisa here sharing a bright tea-themed card featuring a kitty in a giant mug from the Tearrific Pals stamp set from Time For Tea Designs.

I started with a 5 3/4 by 4 1/8 inch and the Scattered Hearts Stencil. I placed the Scattered Hearts Stencil on my Wendy Vecchi 7-inch Make Art Station and used the strong magnets to ensure the stencil didn't move while I ink-blended. I used Peacock Feathers, Picked Rasberry and Squeezed Lemonade Distress Inks and my Beautiful Rainbow Blender Brushes to apply ink. 

I die-cut white cardstock using the Wide Stitched Frame Dies. I used the large frame and the thin-lined frame created when I used all three dotted frames together. I really liked the way the thin and thick frames looked together so I decided to use both. I used liquid glue to adhere both the card base.

I stamped the kitty in the tea mug, the sugar cubes and the tea bag, coloured them with my Copics and cut them out with their coordinating dies. I added some white gel pen accents, stickles and Glossy Accents for added interest. Once everything was dry, I used double-sided foam tape to adhere the elements to the card.

For the sentiment, I stamped the 'hello' from Let's Chat Clear Stamp Set and used the coordinating die set to cut it out, I cut out three additional backers for the sentiment and glued them all together and to the card with liquid glue (for added dimension). I completed this same process for the 'meow you doing?' using the Purrfect Day Clear Stamp Set and the Coordinating Dies. 

I added Clear Bubbles Designer Enamel Dots for a finishing touch to the card. These bubbles are so pretty, and I love using them on cards.

Hi crafty friends! 

It is DT Natalia with you today. I hope you had a great weekend!

For this quick and easy card, I used a stamp that I have had for a long time from Time for Tea but never got round to using it - the Plaid background stamp set - I love the pattern on that stamp, it is so pretty. Instead of using ink, I decided to do some heat embossing with it. That blue is just gorgeous! It is hard to capture on the picture, but it is a bit glittery. It is Cummerbund from Catherine Pooler. I cut that to a square shape to fit on my A2 panel nicely. 

I then stamped the fun cat, panda and sugar cubes from the Terrific Pals stamp set and coloured them in with my Spectrum Noir alcohol markers.  I went for pastel colours this time as that would go well with the background. 

I used the coordinating die to cut them out and then arranged them on my background before sticking them down with double sided foam tape. To finish it off, I added the 'a cuppa thanks' sentiment on black cardstock with white embossing. I die cut it three time to build some dimension, which I think makes a huge difference on a card! 

I really like how quick this card was to make - what about you? do you like quick cards of rather elaborated ones?

Hello crafty friends. It's Thursday which can only mean one thing... my Time For Tea DT post! Today's card features a cutie from one of the latest new releases...

I kept the design really simple as I wanted the cute stamp to be the focus. I used the Time For Tea Tearrific Pals Stamp Set. It's a great set with so many different images. I used the cat, biscuit and sugar cubes from this set biut there are so many more included. I coloured each of the images with copics and cut them out. I created the splash background using my distress inks. I added a strip of paper to the side which is from the Time For Tea Brighter Days Paper Pad. I finished by added a stamped sentiment along with some clear bubble embellishments.


Supplies;
