Cosy Winter

 

 Happy Saturday everyone, design team member Natalie here. We have had a snowy few days so thought I’d make a cosy winter  themed card. This card was the first one of I’ve made of this kind, so it was very much guess work when I was making it. I love how it turned out though. 

I started out with the circle panel I cut out the Scattered Hearts cover panel die and then cut a circle out of it with the Circle of Love Nesting Dies. Which I ink blended with some Chipped Sapphire Distress Oxide ink and spritzed with a little water for a bit of texture. 

Then I cut out another two circles the same size one I layered underneath the hearts. The other I cut out the snow bank using the Landscape Stand alone Edge dies. 

The bunnies and mistletoe were coloured up using COPIC markers and die cut with the coordinating dies. I popped them on top and that was the topper finished. The rest of the front panel I dry embossed using the Treemendous Christmas stencil. 

To make the base I used a square card base and folded the front panel down the middle. I chopped the dry embossed panel to fit and popped it on and added my topper to the front. 

The card needed a stopper though to keep it open, I cut out the circle from the mini frame and banner die set alongside the little heart. I popped it just past the middle more towards the centre of the card just like this and that was my card finished up.

I really hope you liked it too and don't forget you can get 10% off in the shop using code T4tNATALIE10 

Christmas Deer Card Making Video Tutorial

Good Morning all! Jo here sharing the edited version of Thursday's FB Live.

Do check out the video below as it includes some great techniques for stencilling and colouring your Deer images.

We had great fun during the FB Live making some textured backgrounds with our new Cosmic Shimmer texture Pastes and the new release stencils. We also made this lovely lilac snowy background using distress inks and the snowflake stamps from the Christmas Deer set.

In the video I colour up all 3 of the Deer images from the set. They are adorable and so easy to colour. We decided to mix things up a bit & coloured one of the Deer in grey which looked really great so be sure to check that out. I list all the colours I use on the video too!

 

We used some of our nesting dies to cut out our layers and stamped a simple sentiment from the set to make a Clean & Simple card.

I really hope you like the card we made and enjoy the video.

Please do join us for more videos and live tutorials every week on our FB page and YouTube Channel.

Sending Christmas Deer - First Look at the New Winter Release

Hi all! Jo here sharing some pics from last nights FB Live.

If you missed it you can catch the slightly edited version below. Be sure to watch as I show you some more sneak peeks from the T4TD Winter Release as well as demonstrate our brand new Beautiful Blender Brushes.

All of the new products will be available to purchase from Create & Craft Monday the 11th November. Ant & I will be on Create and Craft that same day at 3pm GMT so please do watch, record, stream us if you can.

You can watch via their website from anywhere in the world @

Create and Craft TV.

So back to the FB Live Craft With Jo.

We came to you from a very wet & wild Sheffield! It felt like end of the world weather outside but thankfully we were safe and warm inside crafting with all of you!

I made my aperture using the largest die in our Hexagon Nest Die set. This made the perfect window for my stencilled background to show through.

I stamped my deer and North Pole sign onto T4TD Super Smooth Cardstock,(available from 18/11/19), using Memento Tuxedo Black Ink. I then coloured them using my Copic Markers.

My background was stencilled using one of our new stencils and our new Beautiful Blender Brushes. I know you're going to love these brushes as much as I do! They are so super soft its impossible not to get an amazing blend with them.

I added my background to my card base which was a T4TD Top Folding A6 card blank. I used foam pads to add my focal panel with its Hexagon window over the top of my background. I also used foam pads to adhere my images.

I heat embossed my sentiment onto T4TD Grey cardstock (available from 18/11/19).

I'm so excited to share these new products with you. This card features the Christmas Deer Stamp & Coordinating Die set, the new Treemendous Stencil and our awesome Beautiful Blender Brushes. Look out for these and the rest of the New Collection Monday.

I will be sharing some more sneak peeks on the run up to the Live show and don't forget our FB Live Craft With Jo is now every Thursday at 8pm.
