Donut Rainbow

 

Hello, everyone DT Annalisa here, on this last Friday in February. This cheerful rainbow of donuts was created using the We Go Together stamp set and coordinating dies. The center of the donut hole was created using the Dog Gone Mutts coordinating die set, as the tennis ball die just happens to be the perfect size for this!

I stamped the donuts and coloured them with my Copics and added some sprinkles using my White Gelly Roll Pen. I die cut the donuts out and added some Glossy Accents and set them aside to dry.

For the panel behind the donuts, I ink blended six Distress Oxides onto the Confetti 6 x6" Stencil. I then removed the stencil and ink blended lightly, using my Beautiful Rainbow Blender Brushes, to create a rainbow background. The Oxides I used were Candied Apple, Spiced Marmalade, Squeezed Lemonade, Twisted Citron, Tumbled Glass and Dusty Concord.

I used the Simple Slimline Nesting Dies to die-cut black cardstock and some patterned paper, to create panels on which to place the donuts panel.

I created a slimline card base (8.5 by 3.5 inches) and used a tape runner to adhere the patterned paper, black cardstock and stencilled panel on top of it. I used a White Gelly Roll pen to add a stitched line to the black cardstock. I then used a combination of foam tape and liquid glue to adhere the donuts to the card.

To complete the card, I heat embossed the "I donut know what I'd do without you" sentiment using VersaMark and white embossing powder and an embossing heat gun.

We Go Together

 

Hello, and happy Friday, DT Annalisa here today. I am sharing a fun interactive card featuring the We Go Together Clear Stamp Set and A2 Stitched Hearts Cover Dies from Time For Tea Designs. These two work so well together for a sweet Valentine's Day card.

I got the idea for this card directly from the one and only Jennifer McGuire and her Window Pop-Out Cards video.  This video came out right around the time that I got my T4T design team package, and I knew I just had to give it a try! I won't explain the 'how-to' for the interactive element as Jennifer is a pro, so it is best to learn directly from her.

For the hearts panel, I die cut some Distress White Heavy cardstock by Ranger and used my Beautiful Blender Brush to apply Candied Apple Distress Oxide. I also added white and Candied Apple splatter for some interest. I then die cut the stitched inside panel, applied some Salvaged Patina using a blender brush, and then added some teal and white splatter.

I stamped and coloured the toast and toaster with my Copics and then die-cut them, along with the sentiment, with the coordinating dies. I used the sentiment die to cut out several more pieces from white paper and glued them back to back to add some dimension.

I used liquid glue to adhere the sentiment and the toast and toaster to the stitched teal panel.

I assembled the card following Jennifer's directions so please check her video out if you are interested in doing something like this.
